It was not too long ago when we brought you word that Sony’s full frame NEX cameras which are to be released soon were rumored to be known as the Sony A7 as well as the Sony A7R. Well, I guess all of those rumors have proven themselves to be true, as at least a couple of leaked press shots have been caught in the wild, revealing a whole lot more of the full frame mirrorless cameras in the process. These images will give legs to previous rumors by propping them up with confirmation of a built-in viewfinder, in addition to pointing to options of carrying a Zeiss-branded 35mm f/2.8 prime lens that you can see above as well as a 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 standard zoom.

Not all things are extremely rosy, however, as there are no additional photos for us to ogle over from other angles in order to discover more about the Sony A7 and the Sony A7R. Interestingly enough, however, the folks from Sony Alpha Rumors do lay claim that the A7R’s 36-megapixel sensor will be able to omit the standard anti-aliasing filter so that it can preserve detail instead, similar in manner to the Nikon D800E. Sony has been teasing a possible camera launch for tomorrow in Japan, so chances are we will not have to wait for too long for additional (and official!) information to surface.

The global smartphone market is quite competitive and cutthroat to say the least. Those who don’t evolve get left behind, there are a number of popular examples which substantiate this claim. The U.S. is one of the major markets which manufacturers try to tap extensively but Sony is now taking an entirely different approach to climb from its current position as the seventh largest smartphone manufacturer. Kazuo Hirai, Sony’s CEO, tells Reuters that the company is shifting the focus of its smartphone business from U.S. and China to Japan and Europe, as the latter are “the most important areas for us.”

Its not that Sony will abandon the smartphone market in U.S. and China all together. Hirai says that the company will first put substantial resources in Japan and Europe after which it will “gradually” start in the U.S. Despite the fact that Sony has made a number of impressive smartphones, the Xperia Z and Xperia Z Ultra are fine examples, the reach of these products in the U.S. is quite limited. The company hasn’t opted for a multi-carrier approach in the country, its flagship is exclusive to T-Mobile. Hirai acknowledges that it is “not realistic to try to do everything at once,” so the company will first bolster its efforts in Europe and its home country before moving with a renewed resolve towards the U.S. and Chinese smartphone market.
