Photons to Photos posted their Pixel Shift Dynamic Range test results: You gain over 1 stop of Dynamic Range when shooting in Pixel Shift! This is a big difference and I recommend all A7rIII shooters to take Pixel Shift mode when shooting landscape or still life.
The A6700 with “selfie screen” as designed by Narek on SonyAlphaForum 2018 will be surely an even more exciting camera year than 2017. And It’s easy to guess that Sony will release a new A6700 as a sort of “mini-A9” camera.
According to BHphoto the new Sony 400mm lens will ship in September 2018. There are still no pictures of the lens yet. The post The new Sony FE 400mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens is expected to ship in September 2018 appeared first on sonyalpharumors.

First a disclaimer: The following rumors are from three trusted sources whom shared correct rumors in the past (STF rumor, 85mm FE rumors and Sept 12 RX rumor). But still, in the light of the recent misses I will rank this rumor with 50% chance of being true only.
Sigma’s new roadmap shows a new lens “under development”. This lens appears to clearly be a new 50mm f/1. 4 APS-C E-mount lens and it will be released in 2018. Surely a good news for all A6/5xxx camera owners! This would become the third f/1.

The NABshow did open today. The Sony teased “exciting new camera“ is actually the new HXC-FB80 camcorder and not a new A7sIII we were hoping to see.

Sony sent out this newsletter to PRO film makers teasing the launch of “an exciting new camera” at the NABshow on October 18. I do hope this use of the word “exciting” will not disappoint us when the camera get’s…”real”.

On October 18 (+1 or -1 day) Sony will announce a new camera. Of that I am 1000% sure. And the chances are good that this might be the new A7sIII. All we know from a reliable source is that it has the same A9 PDAF.
Just a rendering of the possible A9s (but it could be named A7sIII) I got some more details about the next Sony announcement coming next week on October 18 (+/- 1 day). The chances are increasing that we will get a new A7sIII (or A9s).

You surely remember the let down the day of the Sony RX10mV announcement. We had big expectation also because one of our trusted sources said there would be “something surprising”. Well, it seems he was wrong on the timing but he may be still right on the vague “content” of this rumor.
This info is coming via a trusted source: Sony will soon launch major firmware update with the fix for “star eater” issue. Unfortunately there is a risk that first a7 series will not receive it at first (maybe never?).
