A quick update on my post from yesterday about the lack of Sony rumors – Nokishita now reports that Sony will announce a new DSC-HX95 / DSC-HX99 compact camera on Sunday. The new model should be a replacement for the current Sony HX90 (pictured above). Here are the basic specs:

Over a month ago Sony announced their new RX100VI camera (24-200mm f/2.8-4.5 for $1,198). Three weeks later Sony introduced the RX100VA (RX100M5A) version in Japan and Australia which was basically a paid firmware to the RX100V – have you ever seen another company to sell a second version (A) of the fifth generation (V) of the same […]
