RX10 is the best bridge camera for CameraLabs and The.me.

Share

We have two more new Sony RX10 reviews:

CameraLabs writes:

 the Sony RX10 is the most powerful and capable bridge camera to date, but it’s also the most expensive. So that’s the non-shocker here: pay more, get more. It’s a gamble, but on the whole I’d say it’s paid off. The RX10 is clearly head and shoulders above its bridge rivals in every respect and a compelling alternative to a DSLR or mirrorless camera for certain photographers.

The.me writes:

Again, would I buy the camera? Rather yes. Despite some quirks, I really do like this king of bridge cameras. It’s all about the Zeiss optics and a really good sensor. One camera that lets you shoot everything. Portraits, macro, the street, landscape, far away stuff. One top-notch lens.

Exactly one year ago (+1 day) Sony announced the last A-mount camera!

Exaclty One Yeard and One day ago Sony announced the last A-mount camera, the [shoplink 24708 ebay]Sony A58[/shoplink]. I know some of you complained that I was bringing to many E-mount news but as you see, this happens only because Sony decided to focus on the E-mount and RX camera development.

But now the long wait has an end and my trusted sources confirmed new A-mount cameras will come very soon. I am not 100% sure yet but the first camera could be announced in late March or early April. What we also know for sure is that the new A-mount cameras will focus on speed. EVF refresh rate much improved, Hybrid AF even a tiny bit faster than the one used on the A6000, on sensor phase detection pixels and likely same A7 and A7r resolution sensor.

The big question is: Will they have SLT tech? I know Sony developed both, completely mirrorless and SLT A-mount cameras. Latest I heard is that it has SLT btu I am still not sure about it.

Stay tuned, some exciting time ahead of us! And finally some smiles for A-mount lovers :)

First picture of the A6000 with the Bluetooth mic. And AF tests are very promising.

I guess that’s a picture most of you didn’t see yet! it shows the new A6000 with the new Bluetooth mic fully compatible for the Multi-Interface shoe. The ECM-W1M can be preordered at Sony Store US (Click here).

AF speed:
Over at Dpreview forum, member Alithenake tested the A6000 and this is what he writes about the AF speed:

I’m blown away by the speed of AF, even in low light. Also the performance of the camera in low light situations is incredible, giving sharp results even hand-held.

Sounds great!

P.S.: A short AF test video has been posted by Mobile01 on Youtube.

James: I’ve noticed you can only buy a A6000 with 2 lenses (16-50 + 55-210) only from the store tab on sony.de. If readers are looking for it…
Well James I didn’t find it. Maybe some SAR readers can find me a diretc link to it?
