The video on top shows a Sony’s FS100 “First Look” from Doug Jensen at hdwarrior.co.uk. And what’s more important for you is that you can now get the Sony NEX-FS100 at Bhphoto (Click here). Yes it is in Stock!

Very first review of the new Samyang 35mm f/1.4 lens at Focus Numerique. It has been tested on a Nikon but you can see the image samples to see how good the lens is. You can get the lens on [shoplink 7380 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink] and Amazon (Click here).

Oh my god! Finally things do REALLY work. You can now easily go back to comment on SAR. And what is even more important…the contact form now works again! Feel free to send me rumors again ;)

I want to thank you for your patience and understanding! You know I am not a professionist and there is a lot of handmade work behind the website. In those days I used all my free time to make this website work decently again. So I am quite at the end of my energy. I will now go to bed, sleep 10 hours and when I wake up I will read all your comments, emails and rumors. Good Night ;)

Damn, since we moved on the new server I am working all the time to fix some stuff:
1) Comment system isn’t working well. Your comments do get stored but you wills ee an error page after sending the comment. And you can back to SAR only after 30sec. Annoying!
2) Contact form: Messages will NOT be sent.
3) You cannot register on SAR.

I am spending a lot of time on this right now with my other two “rumor colleagues”. Will let you know when everything is fixed. One thing is sure, there is no more malware anymore. Completely gone and website safe and secure now (we added some measures to block that stuff).

Anyway, I am still working on rumors in the meanwhile. I have one major rumor, but I am going to post it only when everything above has been fixed! Thanks for your understanding, believe me, I am so tired and frustrated now… :(

Panasonic announced the new Panasonic GF3 (here on Amazon) which competes against the [shoplink 7207]Sony NEX-C3[/shoplink]. But Panasonic didn’t manage to beat the NEX-C3 in term of size reduction. The Panasonic G3 is a bit less wide but the NEX-C3 is less height (and that despite the use of a bigger sensor). The real advantage of the m43 are the smaller pancake lenses. I do hope Sony will rethink their roadmap and add some nice primes!

P.S.: Direct search links to NEX-C3 preorders: [shopcountry 7207].

You all will have noticed that google marks this website as “dangerous”. There have been a hack attempt tonight we solved very quickly. The problem is google blocked the website. I asked google to reaccept the website but sadly google will need a the whole day to reaccept the website. In summary, SonyAlphaRumors is a safe website but it’s google that is very slow in updating their servers!
