The day after: ILCE-QX1 actually scores high at Amazon sales ranking! New Playmemories APP released.

Share

I am among those people who highly praises Sony effort to innovate but actually wonders of gadgets like the ILCE-QX1 actually will really drive $cash$ into Sony’s pocket. Well according to the latest Amazon US sales ranking (Click here to see them) Sony is actually taking many orders of those QX1 cameras! It scores third in the mirrorless ranking beating “hot” mirrorless cameras like the Fuji X-T1 and the Sony A7 series. P.S.: Note that the ranking counts both sales and preorder numbers and changes hourly.

UPDATE: Sony also updated the Playmemories app. You can get it here on iTunes or Google Play.

I am also surprised our readers actually like the camera. See the poll results here (if you didn’t vote…vote to see them):

(SR3) More tidbits about the Full Frame 45-46 megapixel (A-mount?) camera!

Share

I got some more tidbits about a possible Sony Full Frame 45-46 Megapixel camera. I am yet not 100% sure but the camera could be released very early 2015. Don’t know if Sony will eventually show a prototype version at Photokina already. And from what I heard it’s an A-mount camera. But I would not exclude Sony will also use such a sensor on an RX…

…I am digging…be patient :)

(SR4) Three more FE lenses to be announced but not(!) released or shown at Photokina.

Share

A source told me that the 16-35mm Zeiss and the 28-135mm powerzoom Sony will be the only two FE lenses (with exception of the Loxia) released officially. Sony will also show three FE lens specs on their updated FE lens roadmap but these lenses will not be shown for “real” at Photokina and final pricing and full detailed specs will be announced months after Photokina.

One more thing: One of the rumored lenses should be the new 85mm Zeiss FE (SR4).

This is how weird the QX1 looks with huge lenses :)

Of course the ILCE-QX1 isn’t meant to be used with such huge lenses…or maybe yes? Anyway, this is how the new ILCE-QX1 looks on a big Alpha lenses. And watch the video below (in Spanish) to see how the QX1 works with the FE 70-200mm lens:
