BH Explora finally informed us that the new Sony A68 is going to be sold in USA too. But there is also a caveat: Preorders will be available on March 1 2016 only according to BHphoto (Click here). I do hope if the A99 successor is really coming that we wont have to wait that much to get it in our hands.
UPDATE: You get a $399 Metabones EF smart adapter for free(!) with the Sony A7rII sold by BHphoto (Click here).
Imaging Resource posted the full Sony A7rII review and writes:
Image quality has also taken a sizeable step forwards in the Sony A7R II. In terms of resolution when shooting with a quality lens, its detail-gathering is simply spectacular. In fact, it comes surprisingly close to what medium-format cameras are capable of in a far, far more compact body.
Current A7rII deals:
$200 gift card with Amazon US (Use “CAMERAGIFT” as code).
A7rII Deluxe at Amazon US (Click here)
$160 reward on the A7rII sold by BHphoto (Click here).
Ssuperbundle deal on the Sony A7rII sold by Focuscamera (Click here).
New low price on the A7rII at Amazon Germany (Click here).
Sony Japan announced that it will postpone the RX1RII shipment start in Japan. And I got word from US and other Asian stores that also they will have to wait to get a new Stock of RX1rII cameras. The reason for the stop is unknown. And Sony also does not tell when they will resume sales.
UPDATE: An anonymous source (thanks!) told me: “The production of the RX1R2 is halted because of AF inconsistencies”
US stores also do not show the RX1RII in Stock anymore (Amazon US, Bhphoto and Adorama).
Sony released a new APP named “Sky HDR”. You can download it through Playmemories. That vidoe shows how it works:

Jan: “I just finished the timelapse from my town, hradec kralove: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajd0RQJn6Ks
it was shot on sony a5100 and nex-5n with 16mm f/2,8 SEL and 18-200mm f/3,5-6,3 OSS LE
i love those little cameras. there is no need for full frame, if you don’t have the budget for it. it isn’t about tools you use, but about the results you deliver.”
