Sony A7000 and A9 to be announced as next?

Sony rumors are growing lately and there seems to be two new E-mount cameras on the pipeline:

Sony A7000:
APS-C E-mount camera with 5 axis stabilization and priced above the A6000 but still way less than $1,000 with kit lens. Announcement at CP+ in February?

Sony A9:
Placed above the current A7 series. Full Frame sensor with almost 50 megapixel resolution (Bayer sensor). 4D tracking af and 5 axis included. Coming early or mid 2015.

Both sound like very attractive packages. Me personally think the A7000 coul be the best bet for the buck here!

Olympus E-M5 mark II camera name officially registered (means it’s coming soon for real).

This is a 100% valid proof the rumors about an upcoming Olympus E-M5 markII are correct. The name of the camera got officially registered in Taiwan. That registration is needed for every new product with WiFi that will go on sale in Taiwan within the next few months.

The camera is rumored to have no(!) 4K recording, same E-M5 sensor and one single major new feature: Sensor shift shooting which combines up to 8 images to create 40MP image on the fly.

Updated Samsung NX400 specs: Will compete against the Sony A6000!

Current NX300 vs A6000 (CameraSize).

Redcrow and SamsungCameraRumors are spilling out info about the next Samsung NX400 camera that should be announced in January/February.

– Same 28MP NX1 sensor
– Same NX1 autofous system
– Built-in EVF
– smaller buffer than nx1 but triple than nx300.
– 4K recording (although not 100% sure yet)
– no weather sealed body
– Price around $900 with kit lens.

Those features would push the NX400 in direct competition with the Sony A6000. But if the price gets confirmed it’s quite above the $798 you spend now for the A6000 double lens kit!
