Sony DSC-RX100 III test by BHphoto.
The RX100m3 will ship in two weeks from now and here are a couple of new RX100M3 image samples and tests. On top you can see a hands-on video from BH. And now let’s talk about a small surprise:
The ISO comparison done by Focus Numerique (google translated) shows how the RX100M3 beats the larger sensor cameras like the G1X and GM1 and almost matches the APS-C sensor performance of the Rico GR:
Quite amazing or not?

A trusted source told me the Sony A58 will be discontinued this summer. There is yet no info about a possible replacement. He also told me he didn’t hear about a possible A65 replacement neither.
And like I told you last week the A99 is also likely going to be discontinued. But in that case we can be 100% sure a new A99II will be announced before Photokina!
Plenty of rumors to come: I am working on RX and E-mount camera rumors too. Will share them as soon as I get feedback from more trusted sources. If you have “heard” something about the next big Sony Photokina announcements you can share me a message anonymously by clicking on that button you see on top right of the page (image below):

Dpreview (Click here) posted the fulL A6000 review and writes:
The a6000 is a really solid camera and is better than its predecessor in almost every respect – anyone worried about Sony cutting corners to hit a lower price point should be reassured that it has done so intelligently. The result is a really capable camera, offering impressive image quality in both Raw and JPEG modes, plus class-leading video features. That it then does so in a small, convenient, well featured and competitively priced package is what really seals the deal for us. It’s strong in all areas and outstanding in some.
The camera therefore earned the Gold Award with a score of 80%.
