Watch out Nikon and Canon! Sony has registered two new camera codes and the new 35mm f/1.8 FE

Between Photokina 2018 and now Nikon and Canon had their big time with many new camera and lens releases for their newborn mirrorless systems. But now Sony is definitely ging to answer big! As reported by SonyAlphaRumors Sony has now registered two new cameras and a new lens:

  • WW245025 (probably a new RX or Cybershot camera)
  • WW716189 (probably a new very High End E-mount camera which I believe could be the A9II)
  • Sony 35mm f/1.8 FE lens (SEL35F18F).

And there is likely to be more new lenses and probably even more camera to come this autumn!

 

For Sony E-mount folks: Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 pricing info this week and new Sigma 35mm f/1.2 FE in July!

17-28mm product pages at BHphoto, FocusCamera and Adorama.

We got two lens news for Sony E-mount folks:

1) This week Tamron will finally announce the 17-28mm pricin (999 Euro) and shipment start (late July)
2) Sigma will soon announce a new 35mm f/1.2 FE autofocus lens. This will be the fastest autofocus FE lens ever made and also the first designed for mirrorlesss only (no DSLR version coming for this)

Nice surprise: The Panasonic S1H has IBIS !

The Panasonic S1H had two weak spots when it was announced:

1) It has that big fan you see on the image on top
2) It was rumored to have no IBIS

Well, at last point 2 got debunked! As reported by L-rumors the Panasonic S1H will have IBIS!

Now we have to see if that fan will not make too much noise when recording video :(
