There is a turnaround with many Fujifilm cameras selling well at the expense of the big three. You will also notice that two fixed lens compact cameras are selling well. Hopefully a new Sony RX camera will be launched to conquer the top of this table!
Lenstip tested the new Sony 28-70mm f/2.0 GM and concluded:
In a nutshell the Sony FE 28-70 mm f/2 GM test showed that you get here an outstanding 2/50 standard lens along with three very good, momentarily even excellent 2/28, 2/35, and 2/70 primes in just one instrument. Of course you have to remember that you deal here with a big and heavy zoom lens, although Sony tried their best to make it easier to handle and to use than the rival Canon device.
Still, if you wanted to get almost exactly the performance offered by the Sony you would have to buy as many as four primes. There is also another problem – no producer has 2/28, 2/35, 2/50, and 2/70 models in their line-up although it seems Sigma is the closest to that goal, offering you in their C line the following lenses. It’s easy to add up their weight – it would amount to 1440 grams so over half a kilo more than the weight of the tested Sony model.
The Sony A1II is finally shipping out through US stores like BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, BestBuy. But unlike the new 28-70mm f/2.0 GM the camera is NOT in Stock if you order it today. Sony officially said the demand was higher than expected.
