RUMOR: Sigma is very, very unhappy with the progress of L-Mount

L-rumors reports:

This info is from trusted sources that shared many correct rumors in the past. So I am 99% confident it’s true. This is what they said:

  • Sigma is very, very unhappy with the progress of L-Mount. They are urging Panasonic to focus much more on this system
  • They are really thinking of an APS-C entry level system based on L-Mount
  • They now see Canon as biggest competitor in Video segment

Panasonic stated a couple of times they do not plan to make an APS-C L-mount camera to not cannibalize the MFT system. Well…they might change their mind soon enough and it would be bad news for the MFT folks.

The Sony A7c is real and Sony will announce it on September 15

All those Sony A7c rumors are likely to be true: Sony has officially confirmed that September 15 they will announce a “new concept”. The A7c is rumored to be a Sony A7III in the body of an A6600. I like the idea but I have the problem with the rumored price: 2100 Euro! Way too high! It would have been a real killer camera if the price would have been udner 1500 Euro/Dollar :(
