One of the best thing I have noticed today is the announcement of Sony E-mount 18-135mm lens. This lens is so important that Canon and Nikon DSLRs offer this lens as a kit lens with APS-C sensor based DSLRs after 18-55mm lens. The lens covers a perfect range that eliminates the need of zoom and standard lens alone and perfect companion for travel photographers.
This new APS-C lens features a versatile 18-135mm focal length, aperture range of F3.5-F5.6 and Optical SteadyShot™ stabilization. The lens is an ideal fit for Sony’s popular APS-C sensor cameras including α6500, α6300 and α6000, and is an extremely useful tool for a wide range of shooting situations ranging from daily life to portraiture, landscape, nature and travel photography.
Additionally, the 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 OSS Zoom Lens offers fast, precise, quiet AF performance thanks to a linear motor, making it a perfect complement to the high-speed shooting and impressive video capabilities of many of Sony’s mirrorless cameras.

So, in near future the upcoming we do hope that next Sony announcement (possibly Sony A6700 or Sony A7000) will carry 18-135mm lens as a kit lens option.

Request to Sony, I am not talking about FF / F-mount users here. But for APS-C / E-mount users they should announce something affordable then current DSLR makers offering.

2018 was a awesome year for Sony camera division And all of us also. Sony A7, A9 series camera raised the temperature of FF camera section. Being a Canon user I do appreciate the speed of development that Sony showed the world. Sony is the only FF camera maker that offers Fullframe Mirrorless camera under $1000 with kit lens. Now Sony is the only company that makes Fullframe BSI CMOS sensor and Sony A9 is world first camera to offer Fullframe Stacked CMOS senor.
1. Sony A7S III – ISO 3.2 – 6.5 Million ISO range
Probably three months after the announcement of GH5s as I feel so. Since, Panasonic is trying to mimic the Sony A7 series pattern of cameras and as the information we have received the GH5s core specs will dominate the A7S II camera. But Panasonic forget that, Sony A7s II is using same sensor of A7S camera announced back on April 2014. The Sony A7SII sensor is based on FSI and NOT a BSI tech, So I personally believe that if Sony introduces BSI or BSI + Stacked CMOS tech in next version of A7S III camera by having the same resolution they will touch 3.2 OR +1 stop that’s 6.5 Million ISO. It’s necessary also to beat the Nikon D5. The camera is expected to arrive sometime before Photokina 20180.
2. Sony RX100 VI (NEW)
Now we are expecting the update of Sony RX100 IV camera in next few months. Sony already registered a compact camera with model code WW 771132 at Indonesian wireless agency. And we are expecting the announcement of the camera in next few months. Because as we have told you earlier also once the camera gets registered at wireless agencies it hardly 3 to 4 months to get official.
3. Sony A9R – 70-80MP | 600+ AF points | 5-7FPS | 4K | 5axis IS
Sony A9R isn’t dead yet. We may see a long rumored 70-80MP Stacked CMOS sensor based camera sometime in September to flush out the Canikon FF Mirrorless announcement. I am not sure but Sony is also preparing for a big announcement sometime in Sep 2018. The next gen of A7R IV / Sony A9R will get a massive high resolution sensor with 600+ AF points and 5-7 FPS of continuous shooting speed.
Sony A7R IV Camera isn’t coming anytime soon. But as the initial set of information we have. The camera is set to arrive in late 2019. We will update you soon as we get any new information.
5. Sony at Photokina 2018
Sony A7S III and Sony RX100 VI camera is rumored to arrive on or before the Photokina event 2018. Although we have recieved rumors in past that Sony may do a surprise announcement during the event. However, based on the details of Japanese sources Sony compact camera [of course we are talking about Sony RX100 VI] is scheduled to arrive soon, since it already cleared the WiFi certification test so official announcement may happen soon.

The most interesting thing related to Sony A7 R III (Amazon B&H) camera is its dynamic range increases over 1 stop when the camera captures images in pixels shift mode.
In the graph (created by Photons to photos) you can clearly see that the dynamic range of the camera increases over 1 Stop. Which is really a surprise gift for A7R III Landscape shooters.
So, if we put one more stop of dynamic range at A7R III test scores then Nikon D850 fails miserably. If I have to choose between these two camera I will sure pic the A7R III, since this mighty camera features better low-light ISO score and do provide us a option to increase the dynamic range of the camera to 1-stop when it requires. A excellent tool for Landscape shooters.

DXO mark just published the Sony A7 R III test results and surprisingly the score of Sony 7R III camera is exactly same of Nikon D850. All test scores of the camera exactly same but due to the mirrorless properties Sony A7R III, the A7R 3 camera is able to perform better during low light environment and hence the score of Sony A7 R3 in low light ISO score is better.
Take a look at the DXO Mark Lab Conclusion
Comparing the A7R III sensor to the Nikon D850’s reveals the advantage that the Nikon camera’s lower minimum sensitivity (ISO) value brings. Photographers who predominantly shoot in bright light or capture motionless subjects with the camera on a tripod will record the most information, be it color, tone, or detail with the Nikon D850 set to ISO32. However, if they require values above that, the Sony A7R III sensor produces marginally better images.
