New Techart LM-EA9 Reviews (preorders now open at Amazon US&EU and BHphoto)

You can now preorder the new TECHART LM-EA9 autofocus adapter at BHphoto, Amazon, Amazon DE, Amazon UK, Amazon FR, Amazon IT, Amazon ES, Amazon NL.

Here is the full review from Fred Miranda:

“I’m impressed with the LM-EA9 improvement in aesthetics and functionality. I consider it to be a step above the previous version in terms of durability as well — no more wobble!
It looks like Techart fixed most of the gripes I had with their previous adapter and it’s now more reliable, quieter and more enjoyable to use. Although it’s still not perfect, if you have a Sony body and want to add AF to your manual focus lenses, I highly recommend the new LM-EA9 adapter.”

Wild rumors roundup: A7rV with 8k, RX10V with 24fps and FS5 MIII

About those rumors: I have no idea who sent them and 90% of the times they turn out to be wrong. But, it happened in the past that a couple of those were right. So I will post them today, and we all together can eventually keep track of this. If one of the sources turns out to be right than we will know we can trust it a bit more!

Source 1:

I have it on good authority that Sony is planning for an RX10 V to be released in August, and the camera to be available by October/November. This increased confidence is due to eased supply chain issues

The major differentiator will be the first time AI / computational technology will make it into a Sony camera. There are also design and ergonomic improvements, removal of the flash, and the incorporation of the a6600 battery. The lens will be the same as it’s predecessor. This camera will feature blackout free EVF bursts up to 24FPS.

Source 2:

Sony to announce new cinema camera by August for production in December. Camera based off FX6 but with APC sensor.
Possible FS5 MIII.

Source 3:

A7r v is a stills camera too munch video specs out there 9.6k oversampled 8k and 4k!!  you must be out of your mind to believe that.
A7r v to be anounced late october early november, with all new sensor around 90 mpx (85.95)
