Hasselblad China just posted the first image of the new “Lusso” camera. This is a “luxurified” Sony A7r clone camera! It is NOT based on the newly announced Sony A7rII. Real world images of the camera can be seen on my previous SAR post.
Current Hasselblad Sony clones are:
[shoplink 37464 ebay]Stellar (Click here)[/shoplink], [shoplink 37465 ebay]Lunar (Click here)[/shoplink] and Hasselblad HV ($7,999 off on BH!).
Look here! Hasselbad will soon announce the luxury version of the Sony A7r! These are the very first images leaked via Chiphell. We don’t know yet what the name of the camera will be. So far the other Hasselblad Sony clones are called [shoplink 37464 ebay]Stellar (Click here)[/shoplink], [shoplink 37465 ebay]Lunar (Click here)[/shoplink] and Hasselblad HV ($7,999 off on BH!).

That’s a great deal: $100 off on the new Rokinon 100mm f/2.8 FE lens at [shoplink 37440 ebay]eBay US (Click here)[/shoplink]. This is a manual focusing and high quality piece of glas.

There is a new $50 off on the A7 which now sells for $949 at [shoplink 37186 ebay]ThePixelHub on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink]. This is a brand new US warranty item!

At a Sony conference in New York Imaging Resource posted a nice set of slides. The one on top shows you that despite the shrinking worldwide digital camera market sales Sony managed to increase their sales in the interchangeable and premium compact market.
Among the other cools slides we have those (all via Imaging Resource):
Reminder:
Sony decided to allow preorders of the three new camera starting from June 17 at 16.00 London time (confirmed via BHphoto). In other timezones this means:
8am Los Angeles time
11m New York time
17:00 Berlin time
24:00 Tokyo time.
Be sure to be online on SAR on that hour as I will link to all major stores offering preorder options on the very first minute! If you want the camera as soon as it gets stay tuned on SAR :)
Fengniao posted these “bigger” size pictures shot on the A7rII. Still not full size but at least you have some more “pixels” to see on these! Click on the images to open the very big files!
UPDATE: The Fengniao server seems to have hard times loading the images because of the massive visits from SAR. I uploaded the images on WeTransfer (Click here).
