Chinese leakier “guesses” the possible Sony 2024 camera roadmap

Share

Chinese leaker E8M_8888 has shared many correct info on Sony sensor releases and camera registrations. He now attempted to guess a possible Sony camera roadmap for 2024. I see people took this “wishlist” as more serious than it is…so please take it with a huge dose of sepsis. He wrote:

  • ZV-E10 II with same A6700 sensor (no mechanical shutter),
  • A7M5 49MP
  • A6200 26MP
  • A7S4 40MP (new processor features)
  • FX3 II 12MP (electronic ND + IBIS).
  • As for the A1 II, it is more likely to be a selling point together with new processor features.

My thoughts on this rumor list have been shared on my Youtube channel. If you want a more reliable rumor list I published one here: sonyalpharumors.com/sony-2024-roadmap-new-fx-new-zve10ii-new-a7siv-new-a1ii/

Sony a9 III Sensor Testing by Gerald Undone: Best body Sony ever made, and you can increase the dynamic range!

Share

Gerald Undone did a Sony A9III image test and actually discovered a way to gain Dynamic Range:

It appears the Sony A9III has a different more “RAW” noise level (in video) than other Sony cameras like the Sony A7IV. If you work it out the in post production you gain up to 1 stop of Dynamic Range which puts it on par with the A7IV. So it seem that after all the A9III Image Quality is damn close to all other Sony cameras, a good trade of considering the benefits you get with global shutter!

What do you think?

PetaPixel: For Pros, The Sony a9 III’s Speed Will Be Worth the Image Quality Tradeof!

PetaPixel wanted to add some context to the findings about the small Image Quality “Penalty” you have to pay to get the amazing new features of the first Sony A9III Global shutter camera:

While other similarly priced cameras like the Sony a1 and Nikon Z9 deliver superior all-around performance and better image quality, they can’t match the a9 III’s speed, and they certainly cannot pull off the same special tricks concerning rolling shutter and flash sync. The a9 III can do some things no other can, even if the camera is not the versatile jack-of-all-trades that its $6,000 price tag suggests it might be.
Global shutter sensor technology is in its infancy for full-frame mirrorless camera systems. Sony is the first across the line, and that comes with costs — but ones that many professional photographers will be more than happy to pay.
