In addition to the XQ1 lens camera module (the official announcement is tomorrow), Sony will also announce two new lenses at Photokina: a new Zeiss Vario-Tessar 16-35mm f/4.0 ZA OSS FE that will be priced at 1,350 EUR (US price will be lower) and will start shipping at the end of October.

Sony has filed for a “Certificate of Compliance” in Russia for two new cameras labeled as ILCE-QX1 and ILCE-QX1L. I find it strange that the QX1/QX1L are described as “Digital camera / Interchangeable lens digital camera” since the current Sony QX10 and QX100 models are lens camera modules that attach to a smart phone and not […]
