Hasta La Gadget!

Photographers if you are looking forward to some full-frame E-mount cameras from Sony, word on the street has it that Sony could be announcing three such models in the next 5 months. This is according to the folks at Sony Alpha Rumors who seem pretty convinced that the three models could be announced by then. According to the information they have received, two of the models are expected to be part of Sony’s NEX category of E-mount devices, while the third model is expected to be part of Sony’s new ILC category of E-mount cameras, and just like the ILC-3000, it will be shaped like a DSLR as well.

The first model is expected to be announced soon and should be available for purchase before Christmas. Out of the three models, one is expected to be a cheaper model, and the other is expected to be a more expensive one, so it looks like Sony could be appealing to professionals and those who might have a smaller budget. No specific dates were mentioned but we’ll keep our eyes peeled, but until we hear the official word from Sony themselves, do take it with a grain of salt for now. In the meantime who else is looking forward to getting their hands on some full-frame E-mount cameras?

Earlier today Sony finally announced the much rumored DSC-QX10 and DSC-QX100 “Lens Style Cameras.” They are standalone cameras that look like lenses, but they can actually be mounted on a phone and be used as a grip, remote control and a viewfinder. If you were wondering when Sony will release these cameras, wonder no more. Pre-orders for both lens cameras are now live at Amazon, they will be shipped on September 27th.

The Sony DSC-QX100 has a 1 inch 20.2 megapixel sensor, F/1.8 lens and 3.6x optical zoom. It also has a manual focus and zoom ring. This particular camera costs $500, Amazon offers a $1.99 discount with Prime shipping. Sony DSC-QX10 is relatively cheaper. It has the 18.2 megapixel sensor instead of the 20.2 one, and a slower F/3.3 lens.. However, the cheaper options makes up for its shortcomings with 10x optical zoom. Amazon is offering it for $248. Both cameras are available in black and white colors. It can’t really be speculated right now how these lens cameras will perform in the market. Sony has thought out of the box quite evidently, but it remains to be seen if consumers adapt to them at a large scale. We’ve already posted our hands-on review of Sony’s new lens cameras, do stop by if you want to know more about the product.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC QX10

We all know that a large part of photos and videos are shot from smartphones, and the point and shoot camera market share is shrinking. According to a NPD Group study published in December 2011, consumers now take more than a quarter of all photos and videos on smartphones.

Inventing the next generation camera that will be competitive in the smartphone market has become a necessity for manufacturers. Sony has often been at the forefront of product innovation in the past, and with the release of its new “Lens Style Camera”, the company exceeded our expectations. Basically, the Cyber-shot DSC QX100 and DSC-QX10 are stand-alone cameras that look like lenses and that can be attached to a phone to use it as a grip, a view finder and a remote control.

We have been hearing rumors that Canon is set to launch a new EOS M camera, and according to the folks at Canon Rumors, they have been tipped off that a launch for the alleged device is coming soon. Apparently Canon will be announcing two new EOS M cameras, one of them being a slight upgrade over the current EOS M, while the other will be a more higher-end device, although the exact specifications of either camera remain unknown at this point in time. For those familiar with the current EOS M, we guess a slight upgrade will not be hard to imagine, while the alleged higher-end EOS M could come with an EVF as one of its features.

The new EOS M is also expected to be priced much lower than the current model, making it more accessible to the masses, not to mention probably providing a nice price contrast compared to the higher-end model. It has also been rumored to come in a variety of colors which we guess would make it more appealing to consumers who are a bit sick of the regular black finish. Take it with a grain of salt for now, but no word on when we could be seeing an announcement ,but hopefully “coming soon” means in the next couple of weeks, not months, but do check back with us at a later date for the details.
