UPDATE: It’s now April 2. Time to say you have been fooled :)

This is the Fool news:

After many weeks of work I can finally unveil that Sony is about to launch two new Full Frame cameras based on the same brand new Sony 3 layer sensor (Similar to Foveon tech). On May 1 Sony will unveil the A91 A-mount and the A9 E-mount cameras featuring the 54 Megapixel 3 layer sensor.

3 layer sensor: Every layer captures 18 megapixel. The resolution and color richness is said to be world-class leading. No other camera of the world can nearly match the IQ from those cameras!

AF: The sensor contains 345 phase detection AF points covering 97% of the imaging area.

A and E-mount: The cameras are very similar but the A91 will have on sensor stabilization. The A91 will also be the first A-mount camera that is completely mirrorless and without the SLT mirror!

I have no other specs nor price info yet. But stay tuned!

Sony organized a couple of live stream event from the NAB show in Las Vegas. As I told you before don’t expect a 4K E or A-mount camera to be announced yet. Although I hope some kind of mockup will be shown to give us some idea of how this could look!

Well, if you want a top quality zoom for your Video work with E-Mount cameras you can buy the new Zeiss CZ.2 15-30mm T/2.9 lens. It’s not thaaaat expensive…you get it for € 17,900 or US$ 23,900….excl. VAT! You can already preorder it at BHphoto (Click here).

To read the full details about the lens click over to the press text at Zeiss.com.

Sony Europe stores (Click here) are offline. And the site mentions a cool rebate that will go live as soon as the site is back online. Just use the voucher code “SORRY225” to get a 5% discount!

I don’t think the site is off because of a product announcement. Usually they don’t go offline for that. Although they could take the chance to add the A3500 which has been already released at Sony Australia.

UPDATE: 10% off on the A6000 at Sony Australia (Click here) with code “A6000PC10”. Runs for 48 hours from now!
