And this is a new review by Richard Wong:
On June 26 Sony will have a press conference Like I told you before I am yet not sure if this means the public announcement will be made on the same day or if the press will have to sign a NDA agreement. But I have been assured the A7sII successor and the 12-24mm GM lens will be presented to the press on this day.
I still got no reliable specs about the A7sII successor. All I am receiving is wild rumors from unknown sources. And all we know for sure is that this camera will at least have 4k120p, 10bit 4:2:2, similar A9II AF performance.
So let’s go on with speculations:
If the camera indeed has no 8K recording that it might use that new Sony 15.36MP sensor:
Here are some more speculations:
In summary: We can only speculate this camera to be oriented for professionals videographers. Unlike the Canon EOS_R5 it might not have 8K. But for pros this doesn’t matter at all. All they want is top notch 4k performance. Of course, from a pure “bla bla bla” marketing point Canon will get the credit to have made the first 8K FF compact mirrorless camera.
Today the new Yongnuo 50mm f/1.8 E-mount lens is starting to ship out on Amazon and BHphoto.
Marc Alhadeff from SonyAlphaBlog tested the lens and concluded:
The Yongnuo 50mm F1.8S DA DSM (120 euros) is a very pleasant surprise : A Chinese lens with AF with very good to excellent performance in photo
In photo it is far better than the Sony E 50mm F1.8 OSS (280 euros)
The only drawback is in video with a capricious AF in this mode
Highly recommended for A6000 users if you are on a budget
For high end APS users having a A6500 / A6600 you may want to invest in the Sigma 56mm F1.4 DC DN (430 euros !) that is a bit better (but not 4 times better)Pros
Very good to excellent sharpness
Very soft background blur
Very good color rendition
Good AF
Lens with electronics contacts so EXIF available and control of the aperture via the body
Cheap (120 euros)
Light and smallAverage
Bokeh balls showing heptagon when closed down to F2.8 or more
Chromatic Aberrations wide open when facing the sun
Build quality is OK
Moderate distorsion and vignetting
No Optical stabilisationCons
unreliable AF in video with V4 firmware (could be corrected in a future firmware)
Is the Tamron 70-180MM F2.8 REALLY That Good?
