CONFIRMED: The Sony A6700 will outperform the X-T5: It’s faster, better and more affordable!
One of my best sources quickly saw the new Sony High End APS-C E-mount camera that will be announced on July 12. While he didn’t feel like sharing the NAME and the SPECS of the camera he gave me FIVE info I can share today:
Compared with the Fuji X-T5 (sort of benchmark in the APS-C world) the new Sony high end APS-C camera has:
- better Dynamic Range (Note: In video I made a mistake and said “better image quality” instead of “dynamic range”.)
- better Autofocus
- better AI features
- better Image stabilization
- Costs less than the Fuji X-T5
In short: It outperforms the Fuji for less money! I like that, now let’s hope Sony also made improvements on the overall usability of the camera!

Just announced: new Insta360 Go 3
Insta360 just announced the new Insta360 Go 3 (Click here). I am pretty sure they will sell a ton of these! I wonder why Sony did never consider to make such action cameras, they are missing out a big market!

Sony 400mm GM lens gets destroyed during a baseball game !
A foul ball destroyed this Sony 400mm GM lens from well known photographer Jim Rassol. His fiend J Pedroso told me that sadly the insurance doesn’t cover those kind of accidents. On a positive note, better the lens than his head!
Here you can see the “killer shot”:
That was a very expensive foul ball! pic.twitter.com/81eudySIRt
