Sony Rumored To Announce New A And E-Mount Cameras In The Coming Weeks

Sony Rumored To Announce New A And E Mount Cameras In The Coming WeeksWhile Sony did show off some new products at CES 2014, their camera lineup seemed aimed more towards the hobbyist and the videographer, as opposed to the more professional photographer who might be look for more “serious” gear. Well fret not because according to a report from Sony Alpha Rumors, they claim that they have been tipped off by a couple of their sources that Sony is expected to make more camera announcements in the upcoming weeks, three weeks to be exact, and that these announcements are related to A and E-mount devices, so if you’re not a fan of compact digital cameras and wanted more professional gear, then perhaps this announcement could be of interest to you.

Assuming the information is accurate (SAR has been pretty spot on as far as these tips goes), Sony could be announcing the NEX-7’s successor which is apparently going to be known as the A7000, which seems to corroborate what we have heard in terms of the rumors. Sony is also expected to announce the A79 and possibly a full-frame A-mount camera as well. Take it with a grain of salt for now, but with word that Sony has scheduled an event for the upcoming weeks, we guess we won’t have to wait too long to see if Sony starts handing out invites for said event. In the meantime which device are you most looking forward to? Personally the successor to the NEX-7 would be most intriguing.

    Panasonic’s Upcoming GH Mirrorless Camera Will Have 4K Video Recording

    Panasonics Upcoming GH Mirrorless Camera Will Have 4K Video RecordingIs 4K the way of the future? Will the new UHD resolution replace FHD? We guess it’s only a matter of time before it does, given the way of things, and perhaps hoping to encourage more 4K video is none other than Panasonic who teased a new GH mirrorless camera at CES 2014 which the company promises will allow for recording of 4K video. We’re afraid to think how much memory/storage 4K videos will take up, but we guess for those looking to embrace the format, the upcoming Panasonic GH camera will be able to get the job done, and then some. According to Panasonic, the video can be recorded at 200 Mbps and output them as a live feed via a mini HDMI port onto a computer or a hard drive.

    Of course one can always save the footage onto a SDXC card, but as we said earlier, there is a good chance you will run out storage fairly quickly due to the file size being extremely large. Unfortunately the rest of Panasonic’s GH camera remains a mystery for now, but according to the company, they plan on unveiling the camera in full come February 2014. Pricing will presumably be announced then as well, but for now some have speculated that such a device could be priced anywhere up to $2,000. Either way check back with us in February for all the details. In the meantime who else is looking forward to a camera capable of 4K video capture?

    Canon PowerShot SX600 HS And ELPH 340 HS Unveiled

    Canon PowerShot SX600 HS And ELPH 340 HS Unveiled[CES 2014] Looking for a camera with zoom? There are a few options that you could explore. One of them involves getting a DSLR and a huge and chunky zoom lens that will probably set you back a couple of hundred, if not a few thousand dollars. Alternatively you could opt for something a little more compact, and while compact zoom cameras might not necessarily have the same level of control and quality one might expect from a dedicated zoom lens, we guess it will do in a pinch, especially if you’re shopping on a budget, which is exactly what Canon had in mind when they unveiled two new compact cameras with optical zoom lenses: the Canon PowerShot SX600 HS and the PowerShot ELPH 340 HS.

    [CES 2014] JVC today unveiled a new lineup of Everio camcorders that are immune to the elements. These rugged camcorders are water, dust, shock and freeze-proof, making them perfect companions to document your extreme adventures. Both models, GZ-R70 and GZR-10, feature JVC’s quad-proof structure which makes them water resistant up to 5m and able to withstand drops from as high as 1.5m.

Apart from that they feature 40x optical zoom, a 2.5 megapixel back-illuminated CMOS image sensor, audio that zooms along with the picture, and compatibility with popular editing softwares such as Final Cut Pro X and iMovie.

    Sony AS100V: Wearable Action Camcorder Reloaded

    Sony AS100V: Wearable Action Camcorder Reloaded[CES 2014] While we expect that regular camcorders are more than capable of taking action videos, such as during sporting events, action camcorders might do a better job due to their durability and also because sometimes these action camcorders can be worn, allowing athletes to film their stunts from a first-person perspective. One of those cameras would be the Sony HDR-AS100V which is the company’s latest high-end wearable action camcorder. (more…)

    Sony FDR-AX100: Semi-Pro 4K HandyCam

    Sony FDR AX100: Semi Pro 4K HandyCam[CES 2014] Ever since the FDR-AX1 4K (3840×2160) camcorder was announced, we knew that Sony would eventually put a high-performance 4K recorder in the palm of your hand. The question was “when”, and now we have the answer: “now” (almost). The Sony FDR-AX100 is a compact 4K camcorder that supplements the 4K line up from Sony. The AX1 will continue to exist because its form-factor can cater to professionals, but the AX100 bring many of the same features down to a size (66% smaller), and a price ($1999) that is much more approachable for semi-pros, enthusiasts and consumers.

    Sony Announces Cyber-shot W830 Compact Digital Zoom Camera

    Sony Announces Cyber shot W830 Compact Digital Zoom Camera[CES 2014] When it comes to zoom cameras, there are a few options available to photographers. They can get themselves a DSLR and a set of zoom lenses which can go incredibly far, but the drawback is that DSLR cameras tend to be bulky and good zoom lenses tend to be extremely expensive. If you have no need to a super zoom lens, perhaps a compact zoom digital camera might suit you better and Sony might have the answer for you in the form of the Cyber-shot W830 compact zoom digital camera.

    Socialmatic Camera To Launch In Fall 2014

    Socialmatic Camera To Launch In Fall 2014Remember the Socialmatic camera concept that was unveiled back in 2012? Well you might have heard that the camera would be made a reality by none other than Polaroid, and now thanks to an announcement made by the company, it has been revealed that the Socialmatic camera would be seeing a release in the fall of 2014. Full specifications of the camera along with its pricing and a more specific release date have not been mentioned, but according to Polaroid’s press release, they expect to share some of these details in the coming months as the release date gets closer.

    For those hearing about the Socialmatic camera for the first time, this is a camera that was originally inspired by Instagram whereby users could take photos with filters and upload them in a square format. The camera concept took that idea but added a feature that would allow users to print photos instantly, much like Polaroid’s cameras, and with the rather unique design which is somewhat reminiscent of Instagram’s logo, but thankfully changed to avoid a potential lawsuit (which we’re guessing Polaroid has had enough of).

    The camera is expected to sport a 14MP main camera and will feature a secondary 2MP camera, along with built-in WiFi to post photos onto social networking websites. The camera will also feature Bluetooth technology to allow the sharing of photos through smartphones or tablets, and will be powered by Android. If anything it looks like a fun camera to have, so if you’d like to know more, check back with us at a later date for additional details such as pricing and availability!
