In 2018 Nikon will launch their first Full Frame mirrorless system camera(s). It will be the first real competitor of the Sony FE system. And to make a splash it seems like they are working on launching very fast primes lenses.
Sony Tokyo center One trusted source who shared many correct info in the past told me this: After yesterday, it is now time for next announcement. It’s about E-mount mirrorless system now. Within next 2 weeks for 90% But so far I could not confirm this rumor with other trusted sources.
Opteka will soon announce a new 28mm f/2.8 HD Multi-Coated E-mount Lens. Above you can see the first image. Features: 6 elements in 5 groups 9 aperture blades 9.8” (0.25m) minimum focus distance But there might be a chance that this is a re-branded version of the current Meike E-mount lens :( – Thanks Mistral […] The post Image of the new Opteka 28mm f/2.8 HD Multi-Coated Lens appeared first on sonyalpharumors.
Today (6pm Los Angeles time) Sony will announce the new Cine Alta FF camera (early specs here). I am yet not sure if there will be something else. If reliable rumors is what you are looking for please stop reading here :) – Today I got this completely unverified rumor.
Teaser of the Cine Alta launch (today at 6pm LA time) I am starting to get more and more hints that today Sony might announce more than the CineAlta FF camera. I have no details yet but this seems to be something “major”.
Back in April Zenit displayed this 50mm f/0. 95 E-mount prototype lens. And I did post some image samples and hands-on review reports on SAR (Click here). But the past months we got no info about the possible release date of this lens.
Panasonic announced the release of a major firmware update for the GH5. This one will add: – 400mbps All-I 4K/UHD and 200mbps All-I FHD – 72mbps LongGOP 10bit 4:2:0 HEVC – HLG HDR + HLG View Assist – HLG in 50/60p 10bit 4:2:2 over HDMI No Sony camera in the GH5 price range can even […] The post Panasonic firmware goes with 10-bit color with 400mbps ALL-Intra.
This is the first image of the Opteka 12mm f/2. 8 HD Multi-Coated Lens. It’s an APS-C E-mount manual focusing lens and those are the specs: 12 elements in 10 groups 9 aperture blades 3. 9” (0.
Last week I told you that the next Sony camera will be an RX. I can now confirm via multiple sources that this is the case. One of the sources sent me a message right now to tell me that this camera might be announced today at the IFA event in Berlin (1pm Berlin time […] The post (SR5) New RX camera is coming (and it might be announced today?) appeared first on sonyalpharumors.
Back in June I told you that Samyang would announce one more autofocus FE lens. And well, here it is the new Samyang 35mm f/1. 4 FE autofocus lens! Those are the specs: So far Samyang has three autofocus FE lenses in their lineup: 50mm f/1.
Sony UK just confirmed they will livestream the 31 August IFA press event at 1pm Berlin time. So far we do not expect any new E-mount camera to be announced on that day. The next camera to be announced in September-October will be a new RX compact.
As you know Sony has recently registered two new cameras: One camera has the code “WW620081”. That camera got already registered two months ago. The “WW6” code is usually used for RX cameras The second code is “WW173777”.
This is the first image of the Opteka 6. 5mm f/2. 0 APS-C E-mount lens. It’s full name is Opteka 6. 5mm f/2 HD Multi-Coated Circular Fisheye Lens. Features: 6 elements in 5 groups 9 aperture blades 1.
Within the next 24hours Oprema will launch their second E-mount lens: The Biotar 58mm f/2. 0. The current Biotar 75mm Kickstarter campaign now mentions this lens too. The image above shows the silhouette of the lens profile.
We still find it somewhat amazing that no one has yet challenged Sony in the full frame mirrorless market. It is to the point now that any serious contender to the FE system will need to be pretty great right out of the gate, as Sony has had many years not to perfect and work the kinks out of their system.
Sony invited filmmakers on a big press event on September 6. They will finally unveil the new CineAta Full Frame cinema camera. The specswe know so far are: – Full Frame 36x24mm sensor exclusively designed for this Digital Motion Picture Camera – Aspect ratio-agnostic – including Full Frame, Super35 4K 4-perf 4:3 Anamorphic and 4K […] The post Sony will launch the new CineAlta full frame 36x24mm camera on September 6 appeared first on sonyalpharumors.

Imagine on top shows the Fuji 16mm f/1. 4 APS-C lens. Sony could release a similar lens soon! I previosly reported with a very low ranking (SR1) a rumor saying that there would be a new 16mm f/1.

The current E-mount cameras do have a 10 pin communication terminal on the mount. But this brand new Sony patent describes an 8 pin version. The big unanswered question is: 1) Is this for a modified E-mount camera? 2) Is this a completely new kind of mount (medium format) ? Maybe some patent expert can […] The post Brand new Sony patent describes a new 8 pin mount terminal appeared first on sonyalpharumors.

Fuji GFX vs Sony A7rII So far all past Sony medium format rumors from non-verified sources were incorrect. But never the less I am going to publish this because it sounds a bit more “reasonable” and I would like to kickstart a discussion on this: Many cameras are tested and never brought to market, so […] The post An interesting Sony medium format development rumor…and a poll for Sony engineers and managers. appeared first on sonyalpharumors.

Zeiss 35mm f/1. 4 and the Zeiss 35mm f/2. 8 via Camerasize A trusted source “heard” about a small delay of the first Sigma FE lenses Sigma FE lenses probably will be delayed (not announced in summer but still this year) So we can expect the announcement to happen in Q4 instead of Q3.
Nikon CEO Kazuo Ushida confirmed at Newswitch. jp that they are working on a new professional mirrorless camera system. In his words this will be a “Nikon-rashii” camera which means it will be unique and different from other companies in terms of performance.
