Currently Amazon Germany/UK/Italy is offering a ton of superb deals on Sony cameras and lenses (Click here and search the GREEN coupon code mark like the one on the screenshot on top).

It’s now a year we keep reading stunning rumors about the Canon R1 having global shutter, crazy high Megapixel sensors and other stunning features. A potential Sony A1 killer!
Well now according to latest rumors the camera will:
This is not a “Schadensfreude” post. I would have loved the R1 to be competitive against the Sony A1 and future Sony A1II. And I know rumors can be wrong (like it happens to me rarely). But I found it rather bizarre how dramatic those rumored specs changed. But if the R1 will be an “average” good camera the real danger for Sony will remain the extremely good Nikon Z8/Z9 cameras…or the Panasonic S High Resolution camera that I KNOW is coming this year ;)

You might remember back in the days when Hasselblad made “luxurious” versions of Sony cameras. One of the was the Hasselblad Lunar. You can buy it now Open Box for $4,000 “only” on eBay!
Hassleblad also made their version of the Sony RX100 cameras named Hasselblad Stellar (can also be found here on eBay).
And they also made the Full Frame E-mount Hasselblad Lusso (SAR article here) and the A-mount Hasselblad HV (SAR article here). Dind’t find those on eBay tough.
