As you can see only few of us are going to buy one ore more of the new products. I guess most of my readers are Full Frame shooters. And the A6700 is more of a refined A6600 than a real major step forward. The new Sony lens is actually really good but I guess most of us already do own some kind of Sony/Tamron lens in this range. Only 2% of the readers will buy the new Mic which I think is the most “innovative” of the three new products launched by Sony.

On a personal note: I am also not going to buy anything. I am happy  with the gear I own now. I am curious about the new A7cII camera that is coming very soon…let’s see if Sony can convince me to pull the trigger on this one!
