the teaser is bit different from current generation of A6xxx series camera.
Also take a look at current Sony A6500 camera, if you watch both of the images carefully the design of the camera is completely different. Even the sensor area of the teaser image looks big.
Why we think the image may be fake
Since this teaser image surfaced on a Chinese forum, Teasers are officially announced by companies on social media platforms prior to the announcement of products
Sony NEX Camera with Fullframe Sensor
We have published a article on October 31st, 2013, In which we can clearly see Sony is working on Affordable Fullframe Camera, the image you see above is a Sony Patent (Design number 1482630,1482630) shows up a NEX body with FF sensor.
Sony A5 rumor isn’t new, we have published this news 4 years ago. In general patent comes into reality in 2 to 3 years. It may be possible that Sony postponed the development of Nex body based FF camera.
stay with us (FACEBOOK | TWITTER | GOOGLE+) and we will update you soon as we get any new information / see more Sony Rumor.
Sony A5 is a wonder cam for many people out there, If Sony announces Under $1K FF camera then it will sure kill the demand of APS-C DSLRs in the market.
Is there a good reason for this worship of larger sensors?
Imho, the disadvantages of FF outweigh the benefits. The larger sensor allows greater sensitivity and reduced noise, at the price of much larger, heavier and more costly lenses.
Given the ongoing solid improvements in sensor performance, spearheaded by Sony, the market niche for such dinosaur optics must be shrinking.
Sony A7 is dead-end cheap FF camera. Why someone waiting for A5 ?
