RUMOR: Sony ZV1II will feature a newly designed 18-50mm lens!

Share

On May 23 Sony will announce a new vlogger camera. Trusted sources now confirmed the following info:

  • The camera is the ZV1II (ZV1 successor)
  • It will feature a newly designed 18-50mm lens (compared to the ZV1 24-70mm lens)
  • It will have a plethora of AI features
  • It will be expensive with a price close to 1000 Dollars/Euro

UPDATE: I corrected this post after learning it actually has a 18-50mm and not 18-70mm lens.

I got no other specs yet but I suspect the new AI features and new lens are the main major changes. All the rest should be minor improvements (better AF, better IQ and so forth).

Super idea: Peak Design launched the new Micro Clutch hand strap on Kickstarter and it’s already a hotseller!

Share

Peak Design completely reinvented the hand strap and announced the Micro Clutch on Kickstarter (click here). This is what they write:

Micro Clutch is a hand strap. It’s optimized for mirrorless cameras. We made Micro Clutch for two reasons: 

  • Cameras have, for the most part, gotten smaller. 
  • Hands have, for the most part, remained the same stupid size.

These facts cannot exist peacefully with one another without some sort of tool to bridge their contradictory nature. This is where we come in.

Micro Clutch provides security, stability, and comfort in a delightfully well-designed little package.
