Sony A7s and RX100mIII European pricing to be unveiled the coming week.

Share

The only region on earth that still has no clue about the possible A7s and RX100M3 pricing is..Europe! I actually mean the European Union state members using the Euro as currency. But one of our German readers just got that note from Sony Germany saying the price for both cameras is likely going to be announced the coming week:

Leider liegen uns noch keine genauren Informationen bezüglich der Verfügbarkeit der Kameras vor. Wir gehen allerdings davon aus, dass diese  voraussichtlich ab nächster Woche vorbestellbar sein sollten.
Bei weiteren Fragen stehen wir Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung.
Mit freundlichen Grüssen,

Hope it took that long just because they wanted to lower the final price :)

Sony says they will be back making profit in 2015 (Image sensor is one of the keys).

Share

Short financial news about Sony: As you are aware of Sony doesn’t really have a good time lately. But Sony CEO Hirai promised that Sony will make profit in 2015. Japantoday says:

Hirai’s vision of Sony’s turnaround centers on key technologies such as image sensors, cloud-based services and wearable devices.

A couple of days ago I reported how Sony was able to make profit in the imaging division despite the loss in compact cameras sales (any other company has the same problem). The good news is that Sony sells more interchangeable system cameras and they are also increasing their sales in the high-end premium compact camera market.

Desy: “I just came back from my vacation/wedding in Cancun and made a lil travel video with my new Sony A6000. 90% of it was shot with the A6000 and kit lens. All the shots in the water was with a Nikon AW120. And the shots at the end of the video that are widescreened are clips from my actual wedding video (Canon 5Diii). Enjoy! https://vimeo.com/95661508”

Robert: “Just thought your readers may be interested in two videos that I produced exclusively on Sony cameras. Both videos use footage from my nex5n (converted to infrared), nex7, and rx100ii. http://youtu.be/ATxzuh_zEyQ and http://youtu.be/BnrAQ9Z08lM”

Pierrick: “It seem there are a matter with electronic shutter speed on A7 with speed faster or equal to 1/1000e of sec. See this link: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=1AD41E6D28250F6D!34034&authkey=!AH6WrGu2jDuO6yA&ithint=folder%2c.jpg. On the beach, you can see a grey band on the left after 1/1000 sec. On the other picture you can see with and without electronic shutter speed. We try with the A7 of “Stilgar” (you know him for test between A7r and Leica M) who had both A7r and A7 and his A7 had the same matter.”

Ruben: “There is a very nice exhibition is scheduled for this weekend: http://exposureshow.com/ As a part of the show they are giong to have “Hands on” in depth presentation of Sony a. The link is here: http://schoolofimaging.ca/Courses/84618-Hands-on-Lab-Sony-A7.aspx It’ll cost $10 with the proceedings going to a charity but for that you can get a free 8GB SD card, free admission to the show and access to discounted demo units if you decide to buy. There are also many nice sounding presentations scheduled for the 3 days of the show.”
