While watching the Amazon rankings I did notice this A7III kit is selling very well. I am not sure yet but I think this comes with 1 year seller warranty instead of the original Sony warranty. Still, if you don’t mind about that it’s a very good deal!
And now something completely different. This is one of the coolest new cameras I have ever seen on Kickstarter (Click here). Check out their site to see what’s special about this:

I got this rumor from a first time source. So there is no way yet to tell if there is anything solid behind this rumor. But let’s hear what he has to say:
SONY will release a new 4K ENG Camera w/ Global Shutter and Video Codec at 2019-08-21
Not many here care about camcorders but having a Global Shutter sensor is quite a big deal! Also Sony is rumored to use a new Codec which might be used by the future A7sIII too.
With a high level of performance and a pleasing character, the Samyang AF 45mm f/1.8 FE lens has plenty of potential to become a favourite. There are some parameters that may need some additional correction in software, not really an issue as the solutions are there. It is light and compact and generally just delivers the goods in a simple, discrete package. When used for street photography, it can be an advantage to use an unobtrusive lens.
There is some flare and there is no weather sealing, so these are a couple of disadvantages, but to be absolutely fair, the price tag is a very attractive one and generally, the Samyang AF 45mm f/1.8 FE lens is a delight to use. Highly recommended.
Marc Alhadeff posted an even way more detailed review:
Everything is not perfect but the lens scores very well on all the main points : very good to excellent sharpness, very good color rendition, beautiful blurry background , good bokeh balls wide open, efficient AF, small/light/cheap on a full frame mirrorless
If you’re looking for an extremely small and extremely lightweight wide-aperture normal lens that is a piece of cake to tote around all day and won’t break your wallet, by all means take a closer look at this lens.
