Quick thoughts on the new FX6/FX3/FX30 firmware announcement
BI collected a couple of youtubers reaction on the new Sony FX6/FX3/FX30 firmware announcement (original article here). And now I am going to share my own key thoughts:
- Getting the FX30/FX3 firmware update in September can only mean one thing: Sony felt the pressure from the community to develop consistent new firmware updates. But they were unprepared to react in time and therefore they are “teasing” us that they are working on it.
- It now sounds unlikely that Sony will announce a new FX3II this year. But maybe that’s just a wrong impression and the FX3II will be so much more advanced that the FX3 firmware will not change the appeal of the new FX3II
- I am 100% certain a new FX camera is coming in the next months. But from what I heard this might be a completely different model…(stay tuned!)
Overall we can all agree that Sony got our complains and they are working to bring software updates on some if not all the modern E-mount cameras. So thanks to you folks for your constructive criticism and thanks for Sony for acknowledging the problem.
Rumor: New Sigma announcement in very early February!
One trusted source told me that Sigma will have a press event in very early February (likely in the days between Feb 4 and 8). He didn’t share yet what Sigma will announce and I am working to get some info in this.
But I hope that Mr Yamaki will hold on his promise made exactly one year ago that they are now going to focus on announcing more “unique” lenses. After all the past 12 months we had a bunch of exciting lens patents. Now, those patents are by no means final proof that it will make it into mass production. But just for the sake of discussion I will list you those lens specs and you can vote which one you would love to get for real:
