Sony confirms again [see previous post of confirmations] that they are actively working on enthusiast APS-C camera. This is not the first time we are getting confirmation from the makers itself, few days back we have published a Sony interview in which Sony rep. said.. but as development team we would like to do our best to “be able to” exceed customers’ requests.
Take a look at some parts of interview
Now focus goes on APS-C and FF telephoto lenses (for Olympics):
Of course we are trying to expand the APS-C series of cameras. That maybe implies not only one product. We have the opportunity to develop a type of enthusiast APS-C model, and the enthusiasts, especially the US ones are waiting for this type of model. We are trying to increase our APS-C customers
And we implied we are working on the sports area, that implied not only a 400mm f/2.8 lens is coming. So we are implying many things, but not directly saying “next model is this one, the next model is this one”. But we’re focusing on sports and we’re focusing on the APS-C area.
1. It’s already too late Sony, Wake up
It’s already too late since, as you can see the first Sony A6000 series camera was introduced back on Feb 2014 and just after a year of gap we have the successor of Sony A6000 camera, the Sony A6300.
The Sony A6300 was introduced on Feb 2016, [after 1+ year of gap] but due to the sensor overheating issues in that particular model. Sony quickly announced the A6300 camera update in the same year (October 2016) the Sony A6500 camera.
2. Sony You have the Tech
The Fuji X-T3 and X-T30 sensor us made by Sony, And as we all know that X-T3 sensor performance is beating up Sony A6500 flagship camera. You can notice color noise in Sony A6500 camera sample image at ISO 25600.

3. Sony 26 MP APS-C Sensor in Sony Next Flasghip Camera – Sony A6700?
Yes, it’s the most advance APS-C sensor Sony have right now in its arsenal. And as you can see Sony developer team said they want to exceed customer expectations this time.
We have received leaked Sony A6700 leaked specification in past and they look feasible too. I do expect, Sony next flagship camera coming with brand new sensor and image processor to exceed still shooters exceptions with and addition of 4K 60p 4:2:2 10 bit Video mode, S-log, log2, log3, HLG profiles.
Photos to photo website published on sensor data of Sony A6400 mirrorless camera made for vloggers, so we are trying to find out with the test scores is this camera is also suitable of still shooters or not..
Fuji X-T20 vs Sony A6400
Now we have compared the sensor test score of Sony A6400 with Fuji XT20 mirrorless camera and surprisingly, We have found that the Sony A6400 camera is more better for low light shooting compared to the Fuji X T20.
And not only low light shooting the PDR score that is the photographic dynamic range score of Sony a6400 camera is better than Fuji X-T20. Hence, if you wish to get a good still camera then also Sony 6400 camera is better for you compared to Fuji mid-range mirrorless camera.
Now, it’s time to compare the Sony A6400 camera with its own siblings, we have selected the Sony A6500 camera to see which one is more better for still shooting. We all know that the Sony A6500 camera is bit more pricey compared to the A6400 camera at the same time Sony A6500 camera features built-in 5 axis image stabilization system which is A6400 camera is missing.
But, it’s time to check out the major difference in image quality of both the camera.
Now you can see that test score of both the camera in your screen and you can see the sony A6400 camera scored more points in low light when compared to Sony A6500 camera. And at the same time the PDR score of the Sony A6400 camera is more better compared to Sony A6500.
Finally after looking at the test scores of Sony A6400 camera versus Sony A6500 camera, it’s very clear that the sensor used inside the sony A6400 camera is a bit better quality and some credit also goes to the image processing engine used inside a new camera. Because the image processing engine is also responsible for uplifting the image quality of the entire camera due to the new processing algorithm and enhanced processing power.
At the same time the test score of Fuji XT-30 is not out yet, but we can compare the camera test score with the Fuji XT-3 since as we know both camera uses same 26 MP X-Tran 4th gen sensor.
Now while comparing with the Fuji X-T3 camera against the Sony 6400 camera have found that the photographic dynamic range is for Sony A6400 camera is slightly better compared to the Fuji X-T3 and that’s also means the photographic dynamic range score of the sony A6400 camera will going to remain better when compared to the Fuji X-T30 camera.
Don’t blame me, that’s what a Cinematography channel reveled today. They have posted a photo saying it’s shot by a 8K 25P camera. Now, again the same channel in their weibo account mentioned, ” its a Mirrorless camera “.
Now what the heck we can understand from these lines ?, If someone talks about a super cool Sony Mirrorless camera with 8K recording capability then we can only hope its a Sony A7S III camera, yes or no ? Or may be they are testing out Sony A9S camera.. who knows.
BTW, take a look what a reader of rumor mill shared today
A very well-known and highly respected cinematography channel in China posted this photo saying it’s shot by a 8K 25P camera. And then they said on Weibo that it’s a Sony mirrorless camera. Then they deleted everything before the internet stirs. I couldn’t get a screenshot from their Weibo account saying it’s a Sony mirrorless. I’m not quite sure what’s happening here.
If you want to use 4K video mode then go with Sony A6400 otherwise for Full HD video recording EOS RP is the best option out there. More details just look at the video below.
According to latest version for Sony A7 SIII camera arrive before October 2019. Information is coming from the trusted sources of veteran rumor mill, the camera will carry a newly developed stacked CMOS sensor. [this is not the first time we have received this information, check here]
Not only Sony, Canikon Also Preparing for Flagship Announcement

So, there is a possibility that Sony will also going to announce one of its best camera just before DSLR makers flagship product announcement to flush out their announcement.
Sony A7S III Specification hints from Sony
Sony representative told us during the interviews that they are working hard on Sony A7S III camera to go beyond customer expectations. Take a look what they said.

According to latest rumors, Sony will announce dedicated vlogging compacts camera very soon. The rumors are coming from anonymous sources do take it with grain of salt.
The camera isn’t a RX100 or RX10 series camera. It’s a brand new camera with with dedicated vlogging screen, built-in MIC and dual card slots. Take a look at the rumored specification of the camera
Sony Vlogging Compact Camera
– compact camera with optical zoom -Dual slot -Lots of video features including, brand new video codec, colour grading video -Custom function key button set up (e.g different set up for photo and video – WiFi options (2.4 / 5 GHz) – made for Vloggers
BTW, We have published a Sony Patent Sony Working on Vlogging Compacts Camera ? – Patent Spotted back on Feb 2019, you can clearly look at designs of these compact camera with different style of display screens.
It’s look like the patent is getting shape very quickly. BTW, we are looking for further confirmation and we will update you soon once we have any new information related to Sony RX series Vlogging Compacts.
Dpreview team done a short test to show up the the difference between the Nikon and Sony Eye AF tech. BTW, it’s nice to see Nikon Z7 eye AF works almost same as of Sony.
However I am not happy with the entire test that dpreview staff conducted, since I was expecting a test which shows more detailed comparison and analysis between the two, expectation increases when something coming out from world leading website like dpreview.
Nikon Z7 is first generation of Nikon Mirrorless camera, where as the Sony A7 III is the third generation of Mirrorless cameras. Despite of that the Nikon Z7 AF is working very effectively.
With the future firmware updates we do hope that Nikon Z7 eye AF will gradually improve.
