Likely wrong A7000 rumor from China: 24Mp, $1699, 4k30p

Share

Some Chinese forum shared those A7000 specs that are 99% likely to be NOT true. But just for the sake of clickbait…sorry… “discussion” I will share them for you :)

A7000
24MP  CMOS
BIONZ XR
11fps continuous shooting
6K full-pixel hypersampling 4K/30fps
Super Sampling 1080p
XAVC SI / HS recording function
USB live broadcast function
Lossless compression 14bit RAW
5.5 stops IBIS
New menu
FZ100 battery
3.69 million dots EVF
3.0 inches screen

Price of A7000 in China would be 10999 yuans.  Something like 1732 american dollars.

New Sigma 16-28mm review at SonyAlphaBlog: “Overall it is a bit better than the Tamron 17-28mm”

Share

The new Sigma lens is now in Stock at BHphoto. Adorama. Amazon. FocusCamera. Fotokoch DE. Erhardt DE. Calumet DE. WexUK.

Marc from SonyAlphaBlog tested the new Sigma lens and concluded:

The Sigma 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN provide a very good lens for a 24/33/42Mpix camera. Overall it is a bit better than the Tamron 17-28mm F2.8 Di III RXD : wider , more consistent from centre to corners and a little bit sharper at the wide position (16mm). If compactness and max sharpness are the most important for you then the Sony PZ 16-35mm F4 G will be the best choice (both in photo and in video). If you want the best one for 50/61Mpix sensor then stick to Sony FE 16-35 mm F2.8 GM or the Sony PZ 16-35mm F4 G
