Now that weâre a few days into October, itâs time to start getting ready for some serious camera announcement mania. And, if your comments are to be trusted, the camera that will make the biggest splash will be Sonyâs NEX full-frame (or rather full-frames). So hereâs a rumor roundup that brings together everything we know so far.
As you probably guessed from that italicized âSâ above, Sony is planning on releasing more than one full-frame model â this is 100% trustworthy according to sonyalpharumors. The two models are both E-Mounts and will be announced in mid-October, with one being the cheap(er) entry-level model (price around $2,000) and the other picking up the flagship mantle.
Up until about yesterday, this was all we knew, but now that âmid-Octoberâ isnât that far away, a few other juicy tidbits have come to light. For one, we now know the resolution (again, 100% trustworthy according to SAR) of both cameras.
The cheaper model, which is supposedly named the A7 (nope, not NEX-9), will clock in at 24MP, while the more expensive A7r will tip the scales at 36MP. Both will be pretty speedy, but the A7 is said to offer faster burst mode shooting and âdifferentâ AF â make of that what you will.
Finally, the last of what we know has to do with the camerasâ design. It seems Sony is taking a leaf out of Olympusâ OM-D book, putting the EVF for both cameras in the middle and making them both, according to 43 Rumorsâ sources, very âOMD-alike.â
For now thatâs all we know, but stay tuned as more rolls in. Hopefully before long weâll have some leaked photos to share with you, and before you know it itâll be mid-October and the official announcement will be here!
