Oh look what’s coming back: Two Sony APS-C cameras to be announced in late August?
The past years Sony has mainly focused all efforts on developing their Full Frame system. But not everyone likes to spend $2,000+ for a camera or a lot of money on BIG and EXPENSIVE FE glass.
Finally it seems like a glimpse of reason struck the Sony managers: SonyAlphaRumors reports that in late August Sony will launch two new APS-C E-mount cameras. One of them will be the A6500 successor. There is no info about the second model.
No specs are rumored yet but would it be too much to ask to get a Fuji X or Olympus OMD alike body??? Something that’s not a pain in the butt…ergonomically speaking?
