Phonearena posted new pics of the Honami smartphone that features a 1/2.3 inch sensor with Sony 28mm G lens. It will be announced on September 4th and this may be the day they will announce the “lens-camera” too.
The i1 smartphone also features a new JPEG engine. This one could be used by future Sony E-A mount cameras too!

As I told you end of last week Sony will soon release a revolutionary bodyless Lens camera. It’s basically a lens with integrated sensor and built-in WiFi and NFC. This will allow you to control the “Lens-Camera” via any mobile device. We got some more bits on the camera. There will be two of them:
1) One is the already mentioned “Lens-camera” with RX100MII sensor and Zeiss lens.
2) The second model will feature a 10xzoom lens with 1/2,3 inch 18 megapixel CMOS sensor.
And I have good news for the E-mount folks. One of the trusted sources that shared info on this Lens-Camera confirmed that Sony is ready to launch the NEX-FF. I will post some specs and lens info soon. Stay tuned on SAR. Massive Sony rumors and news coming the next weeks!

P.S.: Some thoughts about the Sony-Hasselblad partnership by SAR reader Sam at Samdcruzphotography.com.
Here are new images from the Hasselblad Stellar, a camera many rich Golf Players were looking forward to buy! If you like 99,9% of all SAR readers don’t want to spend $3,000 for this than grab the superb “original” RX100 with lot of extras for $550 at [shoplink 19691 ebay]6ave on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink]. And than you can buy a $29 grip on Amazon if you really need it (Thanks Stephen for the tip).

The next generation A-mount and E-mount Full Frame cameras will feature a newly designed Sony Full Frame sensor. There are three different versions that have been developed: 24, 32 and 36 megapixel sensors. It’s still hard to say which camera will use which sensor…
The first camera suing the new sensor shoudl be the NEX-FF!

You will have to pay more than $1,600 to get the Hasselblad RX100 clone named “Stellar”. But at least you get a nice case and strap for the money you spend. The camera will be announced on Friday. I am curious to see how much they will price the luxurious version of the RX1 or NEX-FF. I think it will be close to $10,000 :)
