Share

DukeOfDutch (Click here) posted one more picture of the new A3000 (or ILC-3000) E-mount camera. And another source just told me that the camera has (UPDATE: has not a body stabilization) and metal mount. So now we know it costs 300 pounds (body only), has a new 20.1 Megapixel sensor, 100-16,000 ISO, 230K LCD and 1.44 Million dot EVF.

Sounds like a great little camera! The announcement could be made on Tuesday morning at around 5-6 am London time. Be sure to be online on SAR at that time to follow the announcement live!

The Korean site Dicahub posted a size comparison between the A3000 and other cameras:

Sony Austria lists the new NEX-5T, Zeiss 16-70mm and 18-105 G lens.

All the new Sony NEX stuff got leaked the recent days and now it’s even Sony itself leaking some info through their own websites. Sony Austria (Click here) lists the new 16-70mm f/4.0 OSS Zeiss lens, the new 18-105 G lens (page here) and the NEX-5T (page here). The new info we got here is that the Zeiss lens and the 5T will already ship in September. The G PZ zoom will ship in December only. What you don’t see on the Sony site is the price of the lenses. But the Zeiss should be around 1.000 Euro.

Thanks Winni for finding the links!

(SR5) First image of the new ILC-3000 (A3000 in Japan). 230K LCD and 1,44 Million dot EVF.

And this is the first image of the Alpha 3000. As I told you before it has a new 20 Megapixel sensor and a 230k LCD. Price for the body will be around 300 Pounds (converted this could be more or less $300 or 350 Euro).

UPDATE: My source made a mistake when writing the camera specs. The 230K resolution refers to the LCD screen and not to the EVF. The VEF should have a 1,44 Million dot EVF. This looks like a very nice camera after all!

RX1R vs RX1 at DxOmark. R model is sharper but has a tiny bit less dynamic range.

Share

DxOmark (Click here) published the RX1R test and compared it with the RX1 model. The RX1R is indeed sharper but the truth (according to DxO) is that the it comes at a cost. There is a tiny bit less dynamic range on the newer RX1R. But as we discussed here many times before, these tests are certainly to take not too…seriously :)
