With only a weekend standing between us and the scheduled reveal of the "new concept" Sony a7C on Monday evening, product shots have officially leaked. The photos confirm everything we've heard so far about a compact full-frame camera with a corner-mounted EVF and new kit lens.
Sony might have some interesting gear in the works. According to the latest rumors, the company is planning to debut a new line-up of "super-compact" full-frame a7 and a9 cameras aimed at vlogging and travel. And the first one, dubbed the "Sony a7C", will arrive next month.
Samyang has revealed their third autofocus lens. The so-called 'tiny but mighty' 35mm f/2.8 FE was announced last night, and today it's instilling at least a bit of fear into Zeiss with its ultra-portable size and ultra-affordable price tag.
Today, Zeiss adds a fourth member to the Loxia lens line of compact, high-quality lenses for Sony full-frame E-mount cameras. Introducing the Loxia 85mm f/2.4: a compact, short telephoto lens that boasts "outstanding image performance."
It's a few days late for outlandish April Fools' jokes, but that won't stop us from taking this next rumor with a big grain of salt. The Sony a7RII's successor may, it seems, come to market toting a 70-80MP sensor... take that Canon!
It seems Sony's intent on raining all over Leica's parade. First, the company releases the A7 and A7R -- AF-equipped mirrorless full-frame alternatives to Leica's cameras -- and now Sony is supposedly working on a black & white-only full-frame shooter of its own to compete against the M Monochrome.
Over the course of my week in Nashville, I got to try out both of Sony's new full-frame mirrorless cameras. And so, here is the promised sample image gallery, broken up into categories of photos taken with the a7, the a7R and the a7R with the E-Mount 24mm f/1.8 APS-C lens.
After all of the anticipation, rumors and leaks we sincerely hope the announcement still has you excited, because Sony has finally made the long-awaited a7 and a7R official. That's right, the cameras once known only as the "NEX Full-Frame" have finally arrived, with full specs, press photos and a lens and accessory lineup to prove it.
Over the weekend, we got our first official glimpse at what the Sony A7 full-frame E-Mount mirrorless camera looked like. But that uber-blurry image has been replaced by a few official-looking full-sized photos that truly show what we have to look forward to.
Now that we're a few days into October, it's time to start getting ready for some serious camera announcement mania. And, if your comments are to be trusted, the camera that will make the biggest splash will be Sony's NEX full-frame (or rather full-frames). So here's a rumor roundup that brings together everything we know so far.
