Image of the fake A95 entry
I see there is some buzz on the web because the Chinese Site PConline added a Sony A95 camera into their database.
Just to be clear. That site always creates such fake entries to be promoted. It’s years now they are doing so. Sometimes they have been right on the camera names but just because they read rumors or because it’s easy to guess the name of a possible camera successor.

9to5mac spotted that Adobe Lightroom mobile version on Adobe’s website. The reference has now been now by Adobe but the screenshots proves that it was there. Well, I guess the future of photo editing is on tablets rather than on “classic” computers/laptops…
For unkown reasons French readers can enjoy the best prices in whole Europe(!) for the A7 and FE lenses . And this runs over Amazon France and not some unkown little store! In detail this is what you save there:
Over 200 Euro off on the A7 with 28-70mm lens (Click here).
Over 200 Euro off on the A7 body (Click here).
60 Euro off on the Zeiss zoom (Click here).
40 Euro off on the Zeiss 35mm FE (Click here).
I am not sure about it, but I think also non French citizen can buy at Amazon France…
Ok guys, I finally start to have a tiny bit more reliable info about the next A-mount cameras coming in Spring. I just have been told by one source (and confirmed via another one) the next Sony A77 successor is definitely coming and it will have on sensor PDAF. The big question they could not answer yet is if this means that the A79 (or whatever the name will be) comes with or without semitransparent mirror.
As you know Sony already patented such a camera (United States Patent Application 20130113982). I have been also told that Sony managers try to avoid answering any question about the future of the SLT tech. Let’s see if the A79 will be the first camera without that mirror in between…
P.S.: Save $300 on the VG-C77AM Vertical Grip with Sony A77 Digital SLR Purchase at Amazon US (Click here).

Dc.watch (translation here) spotted that A7R and Zeiss Macro 50mm f/2.8 combo at the Zeiss stand in Las Vegas. The Zeiss Macro will be launched on February 27 (Source: BHphoto). And as you likely already know it is an APS-C mount lens. More Full Frame Zeiss lenses for the FE system will be launched later on. And five manualsZeiss FE lenses will be shown at Photokina in September.
Someone at DVXuser said there is a new Sony FS series in the hands of beta testers now. Its supposed to be called FS960. It will do 4K at 60p, Full HD at 120p continous, and 240fps without buffer. Price will be 12K$. UPDATE: I am not sure if this one is a rumor floating on the forum or just a joke. So take it easy :)
