Wild rumors roundup: A9III, new Sony 92MP APS-C sensor, new RX and new macro lenses
About those rumors: I have no idea who sent them and 90% of the times they turn out to be wrong. But, it happened in the past that a couple of those were right. So I will post them today, and we all together can eventually keep track of this. If one of the sources turns out to be right than we will know we can trust it a bit more!
Source 1:
There is a chance A9iii keeps using same imx310.
Not even Bionz XR can use full potential of this sensor.
310 is extremely overpowered, many functions are blocked on A9/9ii because heat and lack of power to use.
Source 2:
Sony semicon has an apsc sensor with 92MP.
Source 3:
Exmor imx710
Full frame : 2 ms
Apsc mode : 1.3msImx310 = a9
Imx410 = a7iii (not exclusive)
Imx510 = 7s3
Imx610 = a1I imagine 710 is for sony electronics as well.
