Last week I invited all SAR readers to share their best work on the SAR Facebook wall (Click here). Well, there are so many pictures there that I cannot post them all on this site!  That’s why a couple of times per months I will only post the three pictures that got the most facebook likes by the SAR community.

I invite you to share and vote the best pictures on SAR’s facebook wall. Let’s start!

(SR4) Sony A77 successor to ship in June! No A65 successor coming.

Share

I reported previously the A77 successor would come in Spring. According to one trusted source the new APS-C A-mount camera will be in Stock in worldwide store for June. It will be the official replacement for the A77. And another news is that there will be no A65 successor. So expected one APS-C A-mount camera only.

I also have been told that this isn’t a small upgraded camera. There are some brand new tech inside. Hope to get 99% reliable specs info as soon as possible. I have been told Sony developed a couple of different prototypes and they are trying to hide what the final specs will be.

I am still not sure when the camera will be announced but my guess is for April. Before that we will have a new NEX-7 successor announcement (likely in 2-3 weeks from now).

Oh, one more thing: I didn’t get an official release period for the A-mount FF yet. But it’s coming don’t worry :)

Debunking the next false rumor: Sony A95 in China.

Image of the fake A95 entry

I see there is some buzz on the web because the Chinese Site PConline added a Sony A95 camera into their database.

Just to be clear. That site always creates such fake entries to be promoted. It’s years now they are doing so. Sometimes they have been right on the camera names but just because they read rumors or because it’s easy to guess the name of a possible camera successor.
