Hi!
I didn’t post a lot in this days. I have been really busy and I also had to transfer the SonyAlphaRumors website on a new server. I still have some job to do but I will start now to post the latest Sony rumors and news.
I had the chance to talk with some of my sources. I have a bad news and a good news. I will post them soon…

The CP+ show starts tomorrow and it is very likely that Sony will make some kind of presentation!
Follow us!

Tamron Japan just announced that they are going to make a new version of the actual Tamron 70-300mm.

According to the dpreview press release “the SP 70-300mm F4-5.6 Di VC USD is the company’s first lens to feature its latest Ultrasonic Silent Drive (USD) autofocus motor, with full-time manual focus override. The optical design includes an element made from Extra-Low Dispersion (XLD) glass“

Dear readers!

I switched the whole website on a new server. I need some time to fix some issue. Will let you know when everything works fine.

Known issues:
- Comment system doesn’t work
- Layout problems on static pages

The lucky girls are holding the real Sony mirrorless cameras

Sony will present the new products at the CP+ show which is held in Japan on March 11. Probably Sony is going to tell us a little bit more about the mirrorless and Exmor HD cameras.

Dear readers!

Like you I have not been really happy to see mockups only at PMA. Normally when a company shows you something like that you get the feeling that you will have to wait a lot of time to wait before you can see the REAL cameras. But during the last days I received some surprising rumors! I am still waiting to get some confirmations from other source but I really believe Sony is going to surprise us…in a good way! No more mockups

So stay tuned, as soon as I can I will give you the good news!

P.S.: I hope the new layout is a step in the right direction. Now it should be easier for you to read our news..at least I hope so!

It happens that Ken Rockwell is one of the most famous Photographyblogger of the world. And it happens that he visited the Sony PMA stand. And what did he say?
“I’m intrigued by the Sony Alpha 850, which for $2,000, seems like a very competent DSLR, which just happens to be full-frame, 24MP, and with a slew of available Zeiss lenses.
If I was starting from scratch and wanted a DSLR for nature and landscape, I’d have a hard look at the A850.”

That’s good advertising for Sony!

The bad part is that he also noticed that the PMA Sony isn’t really good: “Sadly, Sony doesn’t do trade shows right. When I walked up to the Sony booth, the guy trying to help show me the Alpha 850 and Alpha 900 had no real idea of what they were, and didn’t care enough to try to find someone who did. It was as bad as a bad retail store. This is weird, at a trade show, usually everyone there knows everything about everything, but not at Sony. The same thing happened last year.!”

That’s bad advertising for Sony
