Nova DSLR camera concept

By PR admin | Published: November 28, 2009

I am a big fan of camera concepts – in previous posts you can see a Leica S5 concept, Nikon 3M Coolpix concept, Nikon Coolpix 360 and another Coolpix concept. Keep in mind that those concept are created by designers and have nothing to do with real life camera manufacturers (but  they are still so cool). Today I present to you the Nova DSLR camera concept by Erin Fong:

Yes, Sony a700 is discontinued but what is the replacement?

By PR admin | Published: November 27, 2009

sony-a850The previous report about the Sony a700 being discontinued came back in August. Now, Sony Europe (Netherlands) confirms that directly in an email – the a700 is replaced by the “Alpha 8 series”. Do they mean the a850? Not sure why they would replace a 1.5x crop sensor DSLR with a full frame DSLR. Maybe they mean the rumored a800?

Dear mr. V.,
Regarding your request, I have investigated the matter.
It is true that the DSLR-A700 is no longer available.
The replacement of the DSLR-A700 will after all be the Alpha 8-series.
I hope to have informed you sufficiently,

Kind regards,
Sony Support

Tamron keeps us guessing

By PR admin | Published: November 24, 2009

Update: the long awaited secret was a new website for Tamron.eu.

Tamron.de does have a sense of humor – they keep responding to the Internet rumors by updating the banner on their front page:

tamron-rumors-banner

previous banners:

tamron-rumor-update

new-tamron-lens-rumor

So, what is it going to be? I say webpage re-design (they need one). If I am correct, I expect a free lens from you Tamron.de! I would like that new SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di-II VC LD Aspherical (IF) lens please. Thank you very much. I am waiting…
