Marcio Kabke Pinheiro Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 First picture leaked. Looks like the result of a Panasonic GX85 and a Sony A7III having a date and forgetting to use condoms. Talking seriously - as in the A6xxx line, no front dial AGAIN, Sony?

noone Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Nice to see it DOES have an EVF after all. Never mind the camera. That lens 28-60 f4-5.6??? If it was 24-60 I would be getting one as a body cap (price depending) I think but at 28-60 only if it is really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntblowz Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 And this thing cost more than A7III with way less spec!? What was Sony thinking?! I bet price will drop to below A7III next year. And 28mm?! Good luck try to vlog with it, too bad Panasonic have the best lens for vlogger but the crappiest AF. Geoff CB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Hill Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 If they surprise us and the video specs are a decent middle ground between the a7s3 and the a7iii, I'll get one because I really like that form factor but the video specs need to be improved upon in 2020.

Geoff CB Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Lack of front dial is a mistake. Especially at the rumored price. Trek of Joy, Kisaha, Amazeballs and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially at the rumored price. That's what I don't understand with Sony (and sometimes Canon). Why on hell do they make choices like this? I mean, it's obviously an ergonomic disater design choice ! How could at least one guy involved in the decision about design approve this kind of thing? Even Panasonic on their GX80/85 put a front dial, a rear dial without sacrificing the exposure comp dial (wich in modern cameras like this is a waste of space in my opinion, except for some Fuji or Leica wich have all the ergonomics of vintage cameras) with the very same form factor but at a much lower price and target audience ! That's insane to me ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JurijTurnsek Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Sony should've gone with a wide prime kit lens with a plastic build to keep the cost down and used clear-zoom on the 24mp sensor for video zooming. I really like the A6XXX series look, but they've could have had added a microSD slot for a backup card (how many times would you even have to remove it?). The price does look steep for what seems like a new spin on a A7III. I'm guessing it will also get the postprocessing EIS tech from A7SIII.

Snowfun Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 What are they saying about build quality? For the price one might anticipate something reasonably solid. At the other end of the scale the A6000 is something of a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcio Kabke Pinheiro Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 Holy shit, in full flesh is even worse. No front dial, no joystick, almost no custom buttons, af-on in a very bad spot... Sony was always kind of a ergo nightmare, but they outdone themselves.

PannySVHS Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I liked the design of the A6000. This one looks very unattractive to me. Panny on the other hand knows how to build handsome big and small cameras as well. S1, Gx85, GM1, S5, all pretty looking items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted September 11, 2020 Administrators Share Posted September 11, 2020 Seems like the most unnecessary camera release ever! A7 III is just fine at affordable full frame prices. And they want $2K for this ugly monstrosity?! Wouldn't A7000 make more sense for the name as well.

elgabogomez Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 The sigma fp is more appealing/intriguing and a straight competition. I really like small form factors and once Panasonic s5 and this are available and compared, they are going to fight to be my next personal camera.

Kisaha Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 https://wccftech.com/sony-a7c-mirrorless-camera-leaks-ahead-of-official-announcement/ 2400euros for this and that lens?! I am confused.. The a6xxx cameras are the worst cameras in terms of ergonomics that I have used in my whole life. How can anyone like something so wrong? NX500 in 2016 was way better (full touch screen capabilities, double wheels , e.t.c) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bowgett Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 It's like Sony hastily came up with something to compete with the Panasonic G100, then realized that they already had a G100 competitor in the shape of the ZV1, and then just said "eh, screw it" and released it anyway.

noone Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I do not mind the look of it and while it will STILL be too expensive for me, I bet it will sell very well (actual performance depending). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpc Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 re: appeal The Sony NEX 6 has the most perfect size-feature balance for small hands and spectacles of all digital cameras I've tried. A7 series is big and heavy, particularly so after the first iteration (the main reason I still use an A7s mark I as a primary photo camera), and EVF position is worse (for me) than on the NEX series. This camera on the other hand... color me interested. The position of the EVF alone is an insta-win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgabogomez Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 It does have appeal (for me at least). The evf in it and the s5 are a big point in its favor, but the fp is so versatile and small... The 10 bit ipb in the s5 is the perfect size/quality ratio, I’m hoping the a7c can match it. External when you want all i/raw is a great compromise and I don’t see Sony allowing ext raw on the 7c so that is a point for the fp and the panny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
