Sony has an event in Japan on October 12th and 13th in Tokyo. Some fake news/clickbait websites cut out the portion of the banner that says this event will be for the already announced Sony APS-C cameras and the a7RIV and presented it as an upcoming Sony announcement. Here is a Google translation of the […]
A new Sony camera is always two weeks away… Sony has press conferences scheduled for September 5th (IFA) and September 13 (IBC) and expectations are again running high. Of course, we don’t have any leaks or anything worth reporting… stay tuned in case something really gets announced this time.
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 […]
In addition to making full frame sensors for Panasonic (?) and coming back with their own new mirrorless camera (?), Samsung is apparently now also making APS-C sensors for… Fujifilm and also Ricoh/Pentax… The source? 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 […]
A known clickbait site today “debunked” a “fake rumor” about a new Sony camera with a 36MP APS-C sensor. The only problem here is that this same site reported that exact same rumor last year, twice: So yea, don’t believe everything you read on the Internet, especially when it’s coming from clickbait sites with a well-established history […]
In a recent AP interview, Dirk Jesper (Product Manager for Professional Products and Product Planning at Nikon Europe) called the speculation that Nikon bought Samsung’s NX camera business a “hoax” and added that there was never even a talk about it:
Samsung announced many new gadgets at CES today, but in their presentation there was no word on any new cameras or lenses. Of course Nikon did not announce any acquisition/purchase of Samsung technologies or camera division either (in case somebody still believes this non-sense). So there you have it, I think Samsung is now done with […]
