new Sony mirror-less full frame cam
Full frame, fixed 35mm Zeiss lens, in a compact body. And it does AVCHD 2.0.

Re: new Sony mirror-less full frame cam
Key word: Fixed Lens.
This eliminates tons of potential that this would have with fitting F1.4s or F0.9s. |

Re: new Sony mirror-less full frame cam
The one to look out for is the rumoured A99 mirrorless Full Frame DSLR - should get formally announced in the next few days (There are some supposedly leaked pictures of it on the web - I won't post them here).
It'll be interesting to see how that one might stack up against the 5DMkIII, et al for video.

Re: new Sony mirror-less full frame cam
Two things:
1 - This is still in the rumor mill. I'm doubtful because it says it has an optical viewfinder, yet I don't see where it could fit. 2 - If this is competing against a Leica range finder, I could see the market it is intended for. But HDSLR shooters aren't going to be too interested & Leica is going to be a hard giant to take down. It is like a Hyundai competing with a BMW, a Hyundai could be more luxury than a BMW at a much lower sticker price, but it still won't be a BMW.

Re: new Sony mirror-less full frame cam
The optical VF is an external device if you read the posting, and yep, this seems like a very "limited market" camera, something Sony is doing a lot of lately, searching for a profitable market niche as the consumer gives up their little still and video cameras for the one in their phone... (Sony is also making THOSE sensors, some with quite innovative features)
Personally, the phone cam is the cam of last resort, but it's killing the "traditional" camera market. For companies like Sony, they have to be looking for other profitable market niches. |

Re: new Sony mirror-less full frame cam
Missed the bit about how the optical VF works. Something I'd like to see, because I have no idea how you'd add an optical view finder as an add on.

Re: new Sony mirror-less full frame cam
Official release info:
PHOTOGRAPHIC CENTRAL: Sony Cybershot RX1 Preview There is an option for an OLED EVF or an OVF. But this camera won't be cheap. |

Re: new Sony mirror-less full frame cam
Nice videos, Joe, but those are for the VG900, not the RX1.
