Sony cameras have for years held significant advantages for photographers but one issue has come up recently that has many upset: a lack of after-purchase support for even the company's most expensive cameras.
The Sony a6000 series of cameras have a long history, starting with the insanely popular a6000 in 2014. In the nine years since that fateful camera, there have been quite a few new models and upgrades. However, the last camera to be released, the powerful a6600, came out almost four years ago and it is only now that we have a new model to replace it. The Sony a6700 has just been announced, but was it worth the long wait?
A former Sony camera developer says that part of the company's strategy in the early days of mirrorless was to lull brands like Canon and Nikon into a false sense of security that the new technology wouldn't be as good as DSLRs -- until it was too late.
Sony has announced the Alpha 7R V full-frame camera which features a brand-new AI focusing system. Called Real Time Recognition, this “deep learning” trained system can detect not only humans but also birds, animals, planes, trains, cars, and insects.
Tilta is rumored to be producing a half-cage-style grip for Sony cameras with CFexpress Type-A card ports will feature a fast M.2 512GB SSD USB 3.2 output and write speeds fast enough to handle any video format thrown at it.
Sony is ready to empower another group of talented female photographers to pursue their creative vision. After successfully launching the 'Alpha Female' program in September of 2018, the company is calling for applicants to this year's 'Alpha Female+' grant program, and expanded version that spreads funds out more broadly.
The Sony Alpha mount is alive and kicking. Less than a month after Sony UK told photographers that there are "no A-mounts planned," Sony Europe today announced the new Sony a68, an APS-C A-mount camera that boasts "4D Focus."
Sony's A-mount system has seen its activity slowed to a halt as of late while the company continues to launch new E-mount cameras such as the a7R II and a7S II. There were two A-mount lenses refreshed back in April, but the last A-mount camera announced was the Sony a77 II way back in May 2014 -- an eternity as far as camera refresh cycles go.
Now speculation about the death of the A-mount is being rekindled after Sony UK made public statements saying that there are "no A-mounts planned."
WikiLeaks has just published a massive collection of emails and documents that were leaked through the 2014 Sony hack. Among the documents was a product and service launch calendar that mentions new cameras Sony is (or was) planning to launch in the first part of this year.
If the calendar is still accurate, then Sony will soon be announcing new cameras in the A7r, A6000, and RX lines.
Three months after SonyAlphaRumors shared the first image samples taken using a prototype of the Mitakon 50mm f/0.95 Full Frame E-mount lens, one of their "trusted sources" has informed them the lens will be officially released on April 20th.
If recent rumors are to be trusted, Sony is getting ready to continue its assault on all ends of the mirrorless market with the announcement next week of a successor to the mid-line NEX-6 and NEX-7 models -- among other potential announcements.
Seeing how well DSLR and mirrorless camera enthusiasts get along, Sony has apparently decided to erase the verbal distinction between the two by sliding its latest mirrorless model into the Alpha line.
