Some hope Sony might re-launch the RX1 lineup?

Share

Sony made a private survey among professional Alpha Shooters asking what specs they would love to see on a new RX1 Full Frame Fixed lens camera. This is by no means evidence such a camera will be made for real. But I think there is a small market for this. Leica is selling a ton of their Q3 cameras (See article on MR). And maybe making a sort of RX camera that has a more appealing design and definitely lower pricing than the Q3 would make sense?

Sony invited sports photographers at a big event happening in Istanbul in November

Share

A couple of weeks ago I told you that Sony should announce new product(s) on November 7/8 at the Creative Space Event in NYC. Now I have been told that European Sports Photographer have been invited to an event that takes place in Istanbul at around the same time of the NYC event.

An interesting additional info is that also some Canon/Nikon sports photographers have been invited.I still do not have a 100% confirmation…but hints are getting stronger we might be getting the new A9III indeed!
