(SR3) First details about the new generation A-mount cameras…

Share

A new source wrote this:

“I was left some specifications for that ff and aps-c size A-mound cameras. both has WiFi and NFC tech. Improved JPEG engine. aps-c A-mount has lock on selector dial (same as a99 dial lock). LCD for aps-c camera improved 912k resolution to 1.2k resolution screen. Translucent mirror reflection down 30% to 20%. improved phase detection AF sensor. both has same 19 point AF 11 cross type(same as a77 and a99). the name for both cameras still classified.”

I am now working to get all the camera specs. As I told you before there is plenty of new cameras coming soon (late January-early February). This includes a new High End APS-C E-mount camera and at least two A-mount cameras. But I am pretty sure there could be more cameras too (for example RX and entry level E-mount). Stay tuned on SAR. Hot times ahead of us!

Digital Zeiss Ikon design by Vladimir Markov.

Share

Vladimir Markov posted these Zeiss Ikon digital concept pictures at Cargocollective.com. As you probably know Zeiss once designed a superb [shoplink 23713 ebay]Zeiss Ikon M-mount camera (to find here on eBay)[/shoplink]. It was a sort of cheaper Leica M alternative. I would certainly welcome Zeiss designing an E-mount FF cameras a simple and elegant as the Zeiss Ikon ZM!

2013 sales: Sony NEX-5r is the most sold mirrorless camera in Japan.

Share

BCnranking reports that the Sony NEX-5r was the most sold mirrorless camera of the year in Japan. That’s a good result for Sony. Things are considerably worse when you look at the DSLR ranking:

As you can see only the Sony A65 managed to get into the top 20 and with a marginal 1,5% share. A99 and A77 probably didn’t sell as well as expected. Let’s hope this will change with the soon to be announced new A-mount cameras!

Happy New Year ;)

Share

Wish You all a great new Year! As usual I try to express my wishlist for 2014 and this is what I plan to do:

SAR:
– Redo the full website and make it more community driven
– Just have again a fun time with you with all these great stuff Sony will launch in 2014

Personally:
– Have more free time for me an my family.
– Climb more mountains, swim more seas, drink more red wine at Sunset.
– Train my mind to not waste energy on minor problems.
– Read and study more (Physics and German Literature are high on my list).

Yep, that’s it. What do you plan to do? :)

Kai kills the Nikon DF “myth”. SAR reader also do not want a Sony retro camera.

Share

I was used with Kai ranting against Sony products (he didn’t do it with the A7-A7r). But he now killed the Nikon DF myth with this video. Just watch it!

This is interesting because it also supports the SAR poll. Only 19% want Sony to make a “retro styled” SLT/DSLR camera (Source: SAR POLL). And as far as I know from my sources the soon to be announced new A-mount cameras will keep the modern design (with some smaller improvements).

(SR4) 4 mio dot EVF for the next generation of A.mount cameras.

Share

And the next source claims to know that the new generation A-mount cameras will feature a brand new EVF. This time the resolution will go up to around 4mio dot. And he also confirms that at least two A-mount cameras are scheduled for a Spring release!

We have an exciting time ahead of us! Wish You a good jump into the new year ;)
