Yes, looks like the two new Sony cameras will BOTH be HIGH END models! For sure A9III coming…and then the A7sIV?

Share

A reader named “Sony xxx” noticed a very interesting additional info you can learn from the two Sony September camera registrations:

  1. The camera with the main code “WW559681” has a second code “2023AJ13731″
  2. The camera with the main code “WW459276” has a second code “2023AJ15352″

The string “AJ” has been used on high end models like the A7sIII, A7rV, FX30, A7cR,
The “AP” string is used for mid level models like the A7c, A7IV, ZV-E1, A6700, A7cII.
The “DP” string is used for lower end models and Vlogger cameras like the ZV-E10, ZV-1F, ZV-1II.
The “DJ” string is a new string for three low end cameras that have been registered in June 12. Those models are kind of odd and I don’t know if they are for the LR1 and other some specialized PTZ models. See the list here:

Now, if that holds true both newly registered cameras are HIGH END cameras! One for sure being the A9III. The second one COULD be the A7sIV? Like I told you before both cameras will be announced within this timeframe: November 2023 and January 2024. Sony has planned an announcement around November 8th. But I am not sure yet if they will announce one or both cameras on that day!

Sony 70-200mm GMII vs the new Sigma 70-200mm and the Tamron 70-180mm

New Sigma lens preorders:
10-18mm f/2.8 at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama. Fotoerhardt. Fotokoch. WexUK.
70-200mm f/2.8 at BHphoto (preorders will open in December only!).

Asobinet diligently posted some accurate size comparisons. The Sigma is indeed is much bigger than the Sony 70-200mm GMII and double the size of the Tamron 70-180mm lens. Hopefully the Sigma is a stunner when it comes to optical quality so that we can forgive them for the massive size and weight!

New week new TON of rumors coming!

Share
It’s early in the morning here in Italy. And this weekend I worked on new rumors. Seems like Sony is going to give us all plenty of reasons to spend our savings on new gear! I have 4 hours of video editing to do for my private job. After that I will post a new rumor about a curious proof for the existence of TWO new high end cameras that Sony will announce soon. I am also getting first confirmations about what could be announced on November 8th by Sony. I also ask my MAIN trusted sources if they could help me to figure out what the SECOND high end camera is: A7sIV, A1II, RX, FX or something else? Thanks! So stay tuned on SAR this week…you will not regret it ;)

New images of the Laowa CF 8-16mm F3.5-5.0 C-Dreamer lens

Share

CameraBeta reports that the lens will cost $349, with a 3-day pre-sale from the 10th-12th for $315. He also writes (Google translated):

Laowa yet-to-be-officially-released ultra-wide CF 8-16mm F3.5-5.0 C-Dreamer lens has arrived in an open box.

The new head still follows the design of the old Laowa Dreamer series, with a blue ring and all-metal, very solid materials.

The lens body provides a focus ring, zoom ring and aperture ring, according to the function of the ring is different, also provides different damping design, the focus ring adopts a small damping, convenient for fine-tuning, and afraid of accidental contact with the aperture ring, is to provide a larger damping.

Taking into account the needs of video users, the Click switch is provided on the lens body, which can be switched between stepped and stepless, which has basically become the design standard of the old Laowa lens.

Because it is an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, the front lens group adopts a “bulb” design, the protruding front lens group will lead to the inability to use filters directly, but as a deep-rooted in the field of ultra-wide Old Laowa for many years, naturally, it is taken into account, with the lens comes with a connecting ring, you can connect to the front of the 86mm filters, the installation is very convenient, suitable for landscape photographers with the 86mm filters. It is very convenient for landscape photographers to use with filters.

The new head is suitable for APS-C format models and will be available in Sony E, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z, Canon RF and EF-M mount versions with pure manual focus.

It adopts 12 groups and 16 blades optical structure, the closest focusing distance is 0.2 meters, the filter interface is 86mm, size: 88.4 x 88.53mm, weight about 463g. put away
