Sony rumored to reveal full-frame NEX-FF on September 24th

[Dennis.Carlson]

Think this might be my last digital camera ever.

9 minutes to the live announcement. I've never waited for a live product announcement coverage from Sony (or anyone other than Apple) before.

I have to confess I'm also watching the countdown! 😱

 

[Frank Petronio]

eh I am starting to warm up a bit myself but like I said, version two... you all can buy the X100 beta... I'll wait for the X100s ;-p

resembles the film om. the true OM-5

 

[coelacanth]

Pre-ordered A7 and 35mm at B&H. I have some time think over. 😉

 

[Classique]

Hmm from the vid it sounds like A7R is the one with adjusted microlenses but A7 doesn't?

 

[coelacanth]

Well, I canceled the A7 order.









And Pre-ordered A7R instead. 😀

One nice touch is that the both primes (55mm and 35mm) use 49mm filter which was the common size for the good old OM Zuikos.

Btw the rx10 announcement was just plain disappointing. I was so hoping for an apsc camera.

I was hoping for ibis. Otherwise nice specs on the camera. But like Frank, this one I am in no hurry. I want to c how Fuji reacts..

Congrats and have fun w/ it...

Camera is not important, only lenses.

 

[Classique]

I want it but I'm not preordering 😀. I need to make sure that the differences between the two include the microlens array and how RF lenses work on them.

Life is short, Frank.

I have to confess I'm also watching the countdown! 😱

OMG!!! Well at least you admit it 🙂

Downsides:

poor FPS, very loud shutter.

I'm pre-ordered. Wake me in December 😉

 

[gavinlg]

Those lenses are very expensive...

 

[gavinlg]

I will add - if they can keep the lenses small and high quality, this thing is the same size as the om-d e-m1. I feel kind of sorry for the m4/3 partners right now...

 

[taemo]

well people, please start selling your M9 for $3200 to me please and get yourself an A7R 🙂

We'll see!

Camera is not important, only lenses.

I think this camera is quite possibly one of the best platforms to play with all sorts of lenses out there.

I want it but I'm not preordering . I need to make sure that the differences between the two include the microlens array and how RF lenses work on them.

According to the announcement video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfSrsqn3ESc
(see around 20 min mark for A7 vs A7R talk.)

Byond sensor pixel count, low-pass filter and focus mechanism,

A7:
• Top and chassis made of magnesium
• Plastic/rubber covered dials with aluminum top cover.
• Updated version of A99 sensor (conventional microlens design?)

A7R:
• Top, chassis, and front plate made of magnesium for extra rigidity
• Dials are one-piece billet aluminum
• Gapless and Offset microlens design
