Today I am off for hiking and you I will post some pictures on my Instagram channel you are free to follow here. The past months have been super stressful not only because of the rumors but because of my definitive move back to Italy (lived in Belgium for 10 years). I am going to live on a mountain after having lived in a busy city like Antwerp. Let’s see how that works out :)

But I will have little time to rest. Next week on August 6 Sigma will announce the new 85mm f/1.4 FE lens. And moreover I already got first SPECS of the upcoming new SonyA5 (or SonyA6) camera that is coming soon.

WILD RUMORS: Sony China affiliated filmmaker says: If you are not happy with the 12MP resolution wait til end 2020

Share

My Chinese readers pointed me out to these statements made by an actually very well known Chinese Filmmaker that collaborates with Sony. He said a couple of things that sound interesting but I have yet no clue if we can trust him on this. Still, fact is he works with Sony so there might be something on this:

  • He said if you are not happy with 12MP then you should wait because later this year there is something more. (SAR note: He might means camcorders and not necessarily a new A7-A9 camera)
  • He says the original planned launch date for A7SIII is actually the end of 2018, priced similarly, mostly the same but missing few features like 16bit raw output. But then Sony decided that there is no real threat on the market so they can wait a little bit (SAR note: That would confirm why our 2018 A7sIII rumors didn’t become true…because the camera launch got canceled)
  • He also says that One-Mount is the key strategy for Sony so the camcorder department and camera department have more cooperation now, resulting in FX9 getting phase detection while A7S3 getting all the new codec.

My chinese readers assured me that he has quite some reputation in the filmmaker community, I assume guys like this won’t spread lies around easily.. But you never know.

PetaPixel reports that Canon is Delaying EOS R5 Shipments Due to Overheating Concerns

Share

One of the trolling images going on the web. SAR note: Sony had same trolling attacks when their camera overheated

PetaPixel (via CR) collected reports saying stating that Canon is delaying the EOS-R5 shipments to have some time to fix the overheating issue. It’s unclear how they plan to do it:

  1. They could make some hardware change but this sounds both expensive and time consuming
  2. They could go the “Sony way” and just add a software option to let the camera overheat longer with little concern about long time durability

Canon informed stores that the next stock of EOS-R5 will now ship out in November only. This means the A7sIII will ship at least two months before the Canon.
