POLL: What kind of new Sony camera would “wow” you?

Share

In June/July we will get the new ZV-E10II. The real interesting cameras will be announced in second half of 2024:

  • In Q3 a new FX camera (likely FX9 successor) and a new Alpha camera (maybe new A7sIV)
  • In Q4 probably another Alpha (A7V?) and maybe another “Unexpected” camera.

So one of the cameras might be “unexpected”. This is still an unconfirmed rumor (trusted sources did not say a word yet). But for the sake of discussion let Sony know what you would like to get that is “different” than the camera series we have now:

I definitely would love to get...

Curiosity: New Pentax 17 Film Camera!

Share

Pentax officially announced the new Pentax 17 film camera. You can reorder it now at BHphoto, Adorama, FotoErhardt. A hands-on report can be read on Explora.

Call me crazy, but I have always dreamed of a Sony E-mount film camera. Imagine being able to use all the superb E-mount glass on a film camera. I think it would create instant excitement among the community. Feel free to laugh at my proposal in the comment system, but I remain convinced that Sony needs some out-of-the-box thinking. And whether we like it or not, young people today love to buy film cameras.

Competition news: Nikon announced the new Z6III…Sony to hasten the release of the new Sony A7V?

Share

Nikon announced the new Z6III (specs and preorders at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, FotoErhardt, WexUK). The one curious new feature is that it features the world’s first “partially stacked CMOS sensor”. PetaPixel writes:

While highly performant, a fully stacked image sensor is also costly. Nikon says a partially stacked design offers some of the benefits of a stacked sensor without all the expense. These benefits include faster autofocus performance, reduced rolling shutter, a smoother electronic viewfinder experience, swifter shooting speeds, and expanded video modes with higher frame rates.

This camera aims to compete with the Sony A7IV. A specification comparison table is available on the BHphoto page (Click here). I beliebe the Z6II edges the Sony in the video features. The Z6III is only the second mid-range camera to feature internal RAW recording (first was the Lumix GH7 announced last week). Below I will post the review from Chris Niccols and Gerald Undone. But here comes the big question:

Do you think the Nikon Z6III is so darn good that it will force Sony to hasten the release of the new Sony A7V?

Weird rumor about the Nikon Z6III using the same future Sony A7sIV sensor

Share

Today Nikon will announce the new Nikon Z6III (here is the BHphoto page). I will post some information about it when it becomes official at 2 p.m. Berlin time. A Chinese account has leaked images and specifications.

But there is another rumor circulating that seems quite unusual: the Nikon Z6III will use a new 24MP sensor from Sony that will also be used on the future Sony A7sIV. This seems strange because so far Sony has always exclusively used the new sensors on their cameras, while Nikon followed more than 6 months later. I cannot imagine a scenario where Nikon uses a new Sony sensor and Sony, months later, announces a camera with the same sensor. That would take a lot of interest away from this future Sony camera!

So while I am certain the Z6III will use a Sony sensor I do believe the future A7sIV will have a different sensor from the Z6III.
