Several readers asked me where the “rumored” high-end Sony APS-C mirrorless camera with a built-in EVF is. Before the a6400 announcement, the Japanese website Nikkei clearly reported that Sony is going to release a cheap, mid-level mirrorless camera. In an interview, Sony’s manager also confirmed that they are planning to announce a new APS-C mirrorless camera before the CP+ show […]
The Internet is flooded with fake pictures and made-up specifications of the upcoming Sony APS-C camera. The model names are also all over the place (a6700, a7000, a5500 etc). This clickbait practice has been going for a few years now and has become the only way to drive traffic for certain websites. A new Sony APS-C […]
The new 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS sensor inside the new Fuji X-T3 camera is made by Sony and not by Samsung as some websites have wrongly reported (see this post). This information is coming from Theo Georgiades, Managing Director of Fujifilm UK in a recent interview with PGN:

A random comment made by somebody on a forum. Then another forum referenced the first forum, then another website quoted two sources, then a desperate […]
As I already reported, the Sony product announcement at the IBC 2018 show yesterday was not photography related: Sony announced only two new camcorders (HXR-NX200 and HDC-3500). No new Sony a6500 replacement or a Sony a7sIII cameras were announced at the IBC show yesterday as some websites have suggested. There was also no Zeiss Batis 40mm f/2 CF […]
As I reported a few days ago, there is a new Leica 1546 camera model registered in Asia that will have built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and will use the same radio parts as the Panasonic TX2 and Panasonic GX7 cameras, as well as a new ACA-DC 16-E power adapter. The new Leica 1546 camera will be manufactured by Panasonic AVC […]
I asked some of my Samsung sources about the recently “rumored” comeback of the NX mirrorless camera line and they all laughed… Samsung is not getting back in the camera business just like Nikon did not buy Samsung’s camera business and many other fake news stories made up over the years (see also Sony buying Nikon […]
