(SR4) More news about the rumored GH1 Sony competitor…

Share

As you know 10 days ago we reported that Sony is working on a Panasonic GH1 competitor. We received the news from one of our trusted sources (and a second source confirmed the rumor). We also received the rumor saying there will be a November 18 Sony announcement. Both rumors were/are true, but our mistake was to think they were connected to each other! In this days we tried to understand what’s really going on with the supposed new Sony mirrorless video and still camera. Now we can tell you a little bit more!

Sony has already a REAL! prototype of mirrorless video and still camera which uses a APS-C sensor. The bad news is that the camera is going to be presented on Photokina 2010…that’s in September only :(
As soon as we have more infos we will post it. We will also be a little bit more careful in future (to not repeat mistakes anymore).

In the meanwhile let Sony know what you want:

What do you hope to see announced at CES on January 5?

Sony just announced the new NXCAM a tapeless camera. In fact it is the Z5 successor.Not exatcly what we hoped for :(

Our source were only right at falf. Yes we have a new camera tday but not exactly a GH1 competitor. The only thing the NXCAM has in common wth the GH1 is the AVCHD format (and ok, it stores tapeless).

(SR4) Tomorrow Sony will not present a DSLR but something else?

Share

Since 10 days we know Sony will make some kind of announcement on November 18. We asked our sources if they know something more. The original source which told us that there will be a new Sony camera didn’t answer our latest mails. In the meanwhile another trusted source told us that Sony will not present a new DSLR tomorrow. The “business solution” Sony will unveil tomorrow could be a new videocamera or a new camera roadmap.

Stay tuned!
