So this is not new. On May 27, 2024 [check previous post], we received strong hints that DJI and their team are working on an interchangeable lens setup, we thought at the time it could be a BIG brother of DJI POCKET CREATOR Kit, and Most Probably the creator kit with DJI L Mount lenses support will be called PRO KIT.The camera will feature an L-mount and will have a new set of lenses coming with it. Initially, we thought it would be a type of DJI professional creator kit, but the latest information suggests it’s slightly different.
But, now these rumors surfaced again on the web and again the rumor mill has no clue what is coming next, if DJI announced a completely new interchangeable Lens mirrorless system cameras, for sure it will create a big threat to Canikon and Sony.
A surprising video surfaced on the web., that shows Sony customer care representatives charged approx $700 for reversing a faulty firmware update on the FX3 camera
The video comes from the Camera Nerds Media YouTube channel. According to him, the camera was running on firmware update 2.0, was functioning perfectly without any issues. However, Nerds Media (he) decided to update the camera to firmware 5.0, and problems started just after that update. The camera began automatically stopping during recordings and behaving erratically, eventually becoming unusable.
He then contacted Sony’s US support center and given his camera to reverse the update and fix it asap. Shockingly, they charged him approximately $700 to fix the issue.
TNC takes: OMG, that’s a big amount if they have charged for just reversing a firmware.
This is quite a strange situation, and camera makers should learn from this incident. If any firmware update causes problems, there should always be an option to revert to the previous firmware version.
Here is the Full Video, let me know what do you think about this
According to Chinese source E88_888 (translated) the ZV-E10 Mark II camera sale is not going well in the USA and their successful strategy of creating a Highly popular Vlogging camera is halted or you can say it has failed this time to impress the consumer base, and means that ZV series lost its effectiveness to impress the consumer base out there.
The ZV-E10 Mark II camera’s price is somewhat close to the Sony A6700 camera, but it lacks the AI processing unit as well as sensor-shift image stabilization. Additionally, it doesn’t support the video frame rates available in the A6700 camera. Sony has crippled many of the specifications inside the ZV-E10 Mark II camera to protect the sales of the A6700 camera. At the same time, due to its high price tag, the camera was not able to directly replace its predecessor, the ZV-E10, whose sales are still going well.
It looks like Sony’s strategies have failed this time to read out the actual requirements of consumers out there.
According to the latest information from Chinese sources, the upcoming Sony A75 camera will have a crop in 4K 60fps mode for a unique reason. Let us see the reasoning in their own words.
Cross-checking the information:
All professional cameras like the SONY FX9, BURANO, and VENICE 2 8K, which don’t use the IMX510 sensor, have 60fps cropping. I don’t think the A7M5 will generously offer uncropped 4K/60fps, even with pixel binning and downsampling, it’s impossible.
Facts
Yes, the Sony FX9 has a crop when shooting in 4K 60FPS mode. The camera uses a 6K full-frame sensor but crops to Super 35mm mode (approximately a 1.5x crop) when recording in 4K at 60FPS.
No, the Sony VENICE 2 8K does not have a crop when shooting in 4K 60FPS mode. The sensor supports oversampling from 8.6 to 4K, or you can window in the camera to output 4K
So, the fact is something else, we cannot believe this information that the camera will surely have a crop. But sure we will analyze in our upcoming articles the type of sensor that the Sony A7V camera may use, but let us consider these situations
Types of Options SONY HAVE RIGHT N O W
IF Sony uses the Stacked version of the 33MP sensor, OR 30MP IMX554 and 48.9MP IMX313 stacked sensors, allowing the Sony A7 IV camera to capture images at HFR and uncropped 4k 60FPS videos. Other options that create the possibility of keeping the 4k 60FPS crop mode active by using the 40.2MP A7R IIIA sensor in the upcoming camera, OR maybe they can use a 55MP IMG409 in A7V camera.
So, of course, we have a lot of options out there, The best is Sony should use a 30MP IMX554 stacked CMOS sensor in their upcoming camera
Retractable to approximately 1.25 inches when powered off
Lightweight: approximately 3.8 oz. (107 grams)

SAN DIEGO, July 10, 2024. Sony Electronics launches the ZV-E10 II, the second generation of the top-selling mirrorless ZV-E10 camerai. The original ZV-E10 is a staple APS-C camera in Sony’s ZV content creation camera series, designed to provide an easy, compact, and versatile tool for content creators of any level. The new ZV-E10 II maintains all the features creators love about the original, such as Creative Looks, Product Showcase Setting, Background Defocus function, and the vari-angle flip screen – and builds on it to increase sophistication and ease of use.
The ZV-E10 II’s internal hardware has been improved from its predecessor with an upgraded 26-megapixel (MP) (approx. effective) Exmor R™ CMOS sensor and adoption of Sony’s latest BIONZ XR™ image processing engine. A few additional updates to this model include improved autofocus and video capturing capabilities: Cinematic Vlog Settingii, a new vertical format user interface (UI), an upgraded large-capacity Sony Z battery for improved stamina and improved connectivity for easy live streaming and data transfer. Staying true to the ethos of the ZV Series, this camera has been redesigned to streamline the content creation process even further, enabling creators to focus less on camera settings and more on their art and creativity. It is compact and lightweight and fits into a creator’s hand with ease, weighing in at approximately 377 gramsiii.
In addition, the E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS II (SEL1650/2) is announced, a compact APS-C power zoom lens which will be available separately or as part of the ZV-E10 II’s camera kit. The upgraded kit lens is lightweight and offers improved autofocus (AF) and video performance compared to the first-generation model.
“From the beginning, the goal of the Sony ZV line was to create cameras that produced high-quality results while being extremely easy to use. Today, the ZV line continues to uphold that standard, but we’re taking it a step further,” says Yang Cheng, Vice President, Imaging Solutions, Sony Electronics Inc. “Our aim with the advancements of the ZV-E10 II is to inspire creators to develop or recreate their own unique style through features like personalized Creative Looks and Cinematic Vlog Setting. We are continually evolving our technology to help creators of all skill levels bring their visions to life.”

Each of these looks are further customizable and can be edited through eight different parameters, allowing creators to fine-tune their content. Once customized, creators can save up to six custom styles directly in the camera for easy access and reuse.
The ZV-E10 II allows creators to produce premium, cinematic video content with a single touch using the Cinematic Vlog Setting. This feature automatically adjusts the aspect ratio, frame rate, and AF transition speed to optimal settings for cinematic video capture.

It will soon be discontinued worldwide as soon as the stock lasts or as soon as the stock by plans gets depleted. This camera will be in a discontinued state all over the world very soon.
The Sony A9 Mark II was Sony’s second-generation camera released back in 2019. The camera used the BIONZ X image processor and was one of the best high-speed cameras of its time. However, right now we have the Sony A9 III, which was released at the end of 2023. It features a fully global shutter sensor and is one of the fastest cameras on the planet, without having a rolling shutter effect. Although its sales are not as good as those of the A9 II because the low-light performance of the A9 III is not as good as its predecessor, the A9 III’s global shutter sensor speed is unmatched. For those shooting wildlife and sports in perfect daylight conditions, will get the best image possible from this camera.
Sony ZV-E10 Mark II camera teaser was posted by Sony itself on their creator app (or maybe accidentally leaked). Still, the creator app was displaying an image that the camera was coming on July 10, 2024. You can also see the screenshot of the mentioned items where the ZV-E10 Mark II is very clearly listed.
So now you are a hundred percent confirmed that the ZV-E10 Mark II camera is coming on July 10. We also have the rumored set of specifications of the upcoming camera. Take a look at the specs below and the expected pricing of the camera.
