These new binoculars with Sony sensor inside collected over a half a million dollars on Kickstarter (Click here):

The Night Storm X1, night vision binoculars designed for those who aren’t afraid of the dark. See into the night with a whopping 1200m range, 850nm infrared sensitivity, and 52-megapixel image capture. Record footage in true 4K, and with 18 hours of battery life, you will see longer than the night can last.

Maybe Sony should consider making a Sony Alpha 7 “infrared” camera? :)

at BHphoto the camera is on “Back Order”

Asobinet reports that the Sony RX100 VA has been officially discontinued. This was Sony’s last RX camera with the fast 24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 Lens. Now all we have left is the Sony RX100VII with the 24-200mm f/2.8-4.5 Lens.

There is no rumor yet about a possible new RX100 model in 2025, I hope there is one…. but I wouldn’t bet on it :(
