Sony A6700 Confirmations from Sony. In a latest interview Sony confirmed that the Sony A6700 camera in works and will exceed people expectations.
– Are you talking about updating the α 6500? There is no content to talk specifically at the present time.
– Although it is a lens for APS – C who does not listen for a long time about the new product, what will happen in the future? We have received various requests as a request. Future talks and concrete lineups can not be mentioned in this place, but as development team we would like to do our best to “be able to” exceed customers’ requests.
It’s the same answer we are getting for Sony Upcoming cameras ?
Do you remember EOS HD interview ? for Sony A7S III camera..
Take a look at the 4Min interview, where Sony confirms nothing. But the only one thing they confirm in 4min interview is that Sony A7S III will go beyond people expectations but it will take time.
But the big question is how much time ?
At the time I am writing this post, We have no new Sony Mirrorless camera registered in Wireless certification agency across the globe.
Sony Only registered RX0 successor few months back and we have spotted it in FCCID too. Once the camera is registered in any wireless certification agency it roughly takes at least 3 months of time to become official.
And the entire situation confirms us, no Sony Fullframe Mirrorless or Compact APS-C camera coming in next three months / Before May of 2019.
The best platform to announce or showcase Sony A7S III camera is of-course NAB 2019 show. So, the set of information we have right now, we may see a Sony A7S III prototype at NAB / development announcement during the show.
Latest rumors coming from Anonymous sources suggest the Sony A7S III camera prototypes doesn’t have 30min recording limit even in 4K HDR mode. It can record 4K HDR upto 2+ hours with Beta version firmware in camera.
We have already told you earlier that Sony A7S III will be Sony’s first A7 series camera to have Dual Base ISO.
Sony A7S III camera announcement is likely to to happen on Q3 or Q4 of 2019.

Newest model in the popular RICOH GR series delivers exceptional image quality in a smaller, lightweight body, making it ideal for street photography
WEST CALDWELL, NJ, February 21, 2019 – Ricoh Imaging Americas Corporation today announced the launch of the highly anticipated RICOH GR III camera. The new camera is the latest model in the RICOH GR series, a lineup of high-end digital cameras providing exceptional image quality in a compact, lightweight body ideal for street photography, travel and capturing candid images.
The RICOH GR III features a newly designed lens, image sensor and imaging engine that further upgrade image quality, enhance functionality and improve usability. The 18.3mm F2.8 lens delivers exceptional imaging performance with a slim design, consisting of six optical elements in four groups, while retaining the 28mm angle of view. It produces the clearest, sharpest images in GR-series history while reducing distortion and chromatic aberration. It also comes equipped with a macro shooting capability with a minimum focusing distance of six centimeters.
In keeping with the GR-series concept of packaging high image quality in a compact design, the RICOH GR III camera body is smaller than its predecessor, and is equipped with a large APS-C-size CMOS image sensor with approximately 24.24 effective megapixels to produce high-resolution images. Its short start-up time of approximately 0.8 seconds allows for quick, responsive shooting. The camera’s high-definition LCD monitor features touchscreen operation, offering intuitive control of various camera functions right on the screen.
The camera also features a high-speed hybrid autofocus system, built-in shake reduction, in- camera image finishing options, USB Type-CTM, Bluetooth and wireless LAN connectivity options. An accessory wide-angle conversion lens designed exclusively for use with the RICOH GR III is also available. The GW-4 Wide Conversion Lens expands the angle of view to 21mm ultra-wide angle.
“The Ricoh GR III is the ultimate street camera,” said William Hereford, a Brooklyn-based pro photographer, who has been shooting with GR series cameras for years. “The image quality and ease of use are equally amazing. I literally don’t leave my house without this camera. The GR III fits perfectly both in my hand and my pocket, so it is always available to capture a moment.”
Hereford says that the image quality is so great, that photos taken with his GR cameras have the potential to be used in national ad campaigns and magazine articles.

One of the best lens announcement I have ever seen after Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD Lens, however tamron lens was specifically made for Sony fullframe Mirrorless camera but Tokina today announced the ultra wide angle 16-28mm lens for fullframe Canon and Nikon DSLRs camera. The Lens features constant F2.8 aperture throughout the Zoom Range and also features AutoFocus Motor inside for quick focusing.

As we all know that Canon EOS RP uses the same sensor as of Canon 6D Mark II camera. So, expecting a better dynamic range from Canon 6D Mark II as we have in Sony A7 II isn’t fair.
What actually improved from Canon 6D Mark II vs Sony A7 II ? By the Introduction of new DIGIC 8 image processor the Canon also implemented new noise processing algorithms with the camera. So, the noise of the camera is bit more controlled compared to Canon 6D Mark II.

As you can see Canon EOS RP features extended ISO range compared to Sony A7 II Camera. Canon EOS RP features ISO range starting from 100-40,000 in standard Range and 50-102400 in Extended Range.
Whereas, Sony A7II camera features Standard ISO range from 100-25600 and you also have a option to push your ISO range to ISO 50.
In general more ISO range means better low-light performance. But with Sony A7 II camera you are also getting 5 axis Image stabilization system. So, when you are shooting in low light environment you can hit more lower shutter speed (upto 5 stop) when compared to Canon EOS RP camera.
One of the best thing is you don’t have to worry about a bit while using Prime lenses or third party lenses with your camera. Since, image stabilization will help you all the time despite of type of lenses you are using.

Canon EOS RP camera features better touch screen and viewfinder, compared to Sony A7II camera.
Other Features
Sony A7 II camera features better battery life (100+ shots), You will be also getting Environmental sealing with Sony A7 II camera. No weather sealing in Canon EOS RP.
Comparatively if we talk about list of lenses available, then we don’t have more than 10 lenses for Canon EOS RF Mount camera at the time I am writing this post. Whereas, Sony A7II camera have 100+ lenses out there specifically made for Sony FE Mount cameras.
Verdict:
For Hybrid Shooters we have no option other than Canon EOS RP, nature of display Canon EOS RP is more user friendly compared to Sony A7 II. For still shooters we recommend Sony A7 II camera, since the camera features better dynamic range, In-body 5 axis Image Stabilization system and better continuous drive.
Finally the rumored compacts of Panasonic camera announced today. Let’s have a look at the details of the announcement
Panasonic announces TZ80/95
The compact camera will cost you $447 and features a Vlogging screen with 4K recording option. Let’s have a look at the Major features of the camera as well as a little comparison to find out what’s new inside the camera.
As you can see from the core specification of both the camera, only the specs of Viewfinder has been improved in the newer version of the camera. otherwise, the sensor resolution, optical zoom, ISO speed and Continuous shooting speed of the camera remains same.
So, if you are thinking to get a compact 4K vlogging camera then ZS70 is still a better option.
Panasonic FZ1000 II
Panasonic FZ1000 II camera also announced, it’s a little refresh from its predecessor. Let’s have a look at the Major specification and difference between the two camera ( Panasonic FZ1000 II vs Predecessor )
