SAR reader Sean sent me this image and message: “Hey! I love your site to death, and I thought some readers might enjoy this. NBA star Carlos Boozer just bought an [shoplink 8461]A77[/shoplink] from my store in Chicago. Viva alpha!”
I hope Carlos will not go mad when he will discover that the A99 is coming out soon. He should become a SAR reader too :)
P.S.: Carlos Boozer on Wikipedia.
Last week I reported how Sony will announce an E-Mount Full Frame camcorder on September 12th. It’s the VG900 and will be priced a little bit above 3.000 Euro/Dollars. Today Zeiss announced E-mount lenses that will cover the full Full Frame sensor size! With Full Frame I mean the standard photographic size of 36x24mm!
The two lenses announced are:
The CZ.2 70/200/T2.9 E -> Click here to get a shock on the price :)
The CP.2 25/T2.1 -> more info at Zeiss homepage
The A99, the NEX-6, the VG900, all new Alpha and E-mount lenses will be announced on September 12th afternoon (London time).
Finally we have the proof for a statement I make from the day one of the Nikon D800 announcement. Chipworks analyzed the sensor and it has indeed been made by Sony! The sensor name is “IMX094AQP” :)
Note: This page will be continually updated. Reload the page from time to time. The NEX-6, A99 and FF NEX will be announced on September 12th!

My live comment (latest on top):

– A new Potter game, new smartphones and other non photographic stuff. But the NEX-5R will arrive soon don’t worry :)
– Now he talks about the game business.
– Sony CEO talks about the general business.
A SAR reader found that involuntary leak of the NEX-5R while reading the latest RX100 review at PCworld…all I can say is LOL :)
Some new RX100 news:
The many RX100 owners may be happy to know that Adobe (Click here) now supports the RX1oo (link via Outbackphoto). The RX100 popularity can be also notice by reading the huge amount of user reviews on Amazon (Click here to see the list). A good deal is available via Beach Camera (lot of extras!). First impressions at ThePhoBlographer. And don’t forget that there is a new [shoplink 13486 ebay]RX100 filter adapter (Click here)[/shoplink]

Good Morning!
Before to start the new news and rumor week I have to admit that in these days I have zero time left to answer all your mails. I am very busy at work and during my pauses and free time I have a lot of work on SAR. I will catch up with the mail correspondence as soon as I can.
Thanks for your understanding!
Andrea
