Warning: Wasabi Sony NP-FZ100 “clone” is NOT working!

Share

The world’s first third-party NP-FZ100 clone is now in Stock for the first time at Amazon US. But we are getting reports from many readers saying the battery is NOT working. Since than Blue Nook removed the preorder option.

David Busch reports on Amazon:

Purchased one of these to test and review in my Sony books. When inserted in camera I receive “Incompatible Battery. Use Correct Model.” message. It appears when using my a7 III, a7R III, and a9. I assume not all examples do this and it may be a quality control issue. I emailed Blue Nook on the day I received the battery.
UPDATE: I’ve heard from Blue Nook. They report that there was a problem with the first batch from the factory and will receive a fixed version soon. I am returning the defective battery to them.

New A6xxx rendering by Mario Crespi

Share

Mario Crespi collected the SAR readers suggestion and created a new A6xxx camera rendering

“A new idea for a fully programmable camera with digital controls. This one es the PI STR [street] with Joystick PAD.
There is no joystick. Instead, there is a touchpad that can also be clicked to change the control. You could set it for manual focus, click and change to WB. Enjoy.”

Dashboard and control sections on the top LCD display:

The PI STR 1 3D camera with trackpad. The trackpad replaces the joystick. It is also clickable in the corners. ie: assign focus to the top left corner, push that corner and now you can track focus with the pad. Push the programmed WB rigth down corner and you can change WB:

About the LCD screen. It is tiltable like the one on the A99 & A77… Suggestion buy one of your followers @linzdoctor. Also, the back LCD screen is big enough for a 3:4 ratio image and a dashboard or a 16:9 image.
No hotshoe… Not needed. Wireless Sync Flash. High quality mic. There should be ports also. Good for a rig.
