Sony has still three cameras to announce in the next few months

Share

Last month we reported how Nokishita spotted a total of five camera registrations. Two cameras now have been announced, the Sony A1 (BHphoto. Adorama. Amazon. Focuscamera.) and Sony FX3 (BHphoto, Adorama. FocusCamera). Here you see the list of codes of the five cameras:

  1. “WW447485” 5GHz (Sony FX3 could be this one or the one below)
  2. “WW728473” 5GHz  (Sony FX3 could be this one or the one above)
  3. “WW356015” 2.4GHz
  4. “WW186333” 2.4GHz
  5. “WW111327” 2.4GHz  (Sony A1)

My guess is that there might be also some Airpeak camera drone code among those. Than of course the long awaited A7IV.

Sigma 28-70mm review by Marc Alhadeff and Dustin Abbott

Share

Preorders: Sigma 28-70mm at BHphoto. Adorama. FocusCamera.

Marc Alhadeff from SonyAlphaBlog tested the new Sigma lens:

The Sigma 28-70 F2.8 DG DN Contemporary (849 euros) is an excellent pro zoom for Sony full frame cameras. In most area it is equal to the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art (1200 euros) for a much more compact size and reduced price. It even does better in term of sharpness at the short end and in term of flare resistance.
The Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art keep the edge for sharpness at 50-70mm and for the extra 4mm at the wide end that will be required for landscape shooters.
Compared to the Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 Di III RXD (750 euros) , the Sigma 28-70 F2.8 DG DN is sharper, has better background blur, better portrait rendering, better build quality and ergonomics in a little bit smaller size , lighter weight for 150 euros more only

Good news: Sony will start shipping out the new Sony 35mm f/1.4 GM lens on March 12

Share

Due to production issues the lens shipment was postponed. The good news is that Sony Japan announced the lens will start shipping out on March 12th. BHphoto (Click here). says the lens will ship on April 12 but I guess this date will be updated soon with the new info.
