Fake or Real? Sony A6000II specs

From unknown source…which means it easily can be wrong:

As you might have noticed the A6000 bundles are discounted right now by $200-300 to clear stock.
Wanted to share some specs of the upcoming Sony A6000 Mark II which should be announced soon.

24mp sensor (from A6300)
Same AF system as A6300 – 425 PDAF points
Silent Shooting mode
4k Video 30fps
3″ LCD Touchscreen
2.3M dot OLED EVF
Polycarbonate body
No weather sealing
$749 body only/$849 with 16-50mm

As you can see the specs are very similar to the A6300 but it is missing weather sealing and mag-alloy body.
I will share more information as I confirm. The launch should be soon, in time for holiday season availablity.

Techart unveils the Canon EF lens to Fujifilm GFX 50S adapter with Autofocus & Aperture control

Techart unveils the Canon EF lens to Fujifilm GFX 50S adapter with Autofocus & Aperture control

Guangzhou China, Sep 20, 2017 – The innovative adapter developer, Techart, who has previously launched the first autofocus adapter for manual lenses, has unveiled the world’s first Autofocus adapter for Canon EF lenses & Fujifilm GFX 50S camera. The Techart EF-GFX adapter provides autofocus function as well as in-body aperture control for using Canon /Sigma EF-mount lenses on the Fujifilm GFX body.

Techart has tested extensively on the modern Canon / Sigma EF-mount lenses in the market and found the autofocus performance on the GFX is satisfactory. Aperture of the lenses can also be adjusted on the camera by simply turning the command dial. The EF- GFX adapter currently supports AF-S mode for shooting and supports the lens Image Stabilization function (if applicable). Focal length and aperture data will also be saved into the adapter.

Techart is also working to unlock the AF-C and video-shooting feature. It is expected to be seen in future firmware release. The firmware of the adapter is user-upgradable and can be done by simply plugging the adapter into a computer via the Micro USB cable and running the update program.

The short flange distance of Fujifilm GFX 50S provides a perfect platform for adapting different mount lenses. Although not every one of the full frame EF-mount lenses has a big enough image circle to cover the GFX sensor, Techart EF-GFX adapter still opens up a wide range of lenses options for GFX users to consider.

Pricing and Availability

The Techart Canon EF – Fujifilm GFX Autofocus Adapter is currently available for pre- order at our official website (http://www.techartpro.com). The recommended retail price is USD 499/pc. Free shipping will be provided during the promotion period. Delivery will commence from mid Oct onwards. 1-year warranty is included.

Nikon confirms their new mirrorless sytem camera will be Full Frame

In an interview with Xitek Nikon confirmed that Full Frame will be the way to go for their new mirrorless system camera. They also said this:

  1. The design will be inspired by their long history of mirrorless film cameras. It will neither be fully retro nor fully modern
  2. They said they don’t like the Sony camera design
  3. They will appeal professional photographers. They think only few professionals currently use Sony-Fuji-Olympus mirrorless cameras

I don’t think it will be easy for Nikon to succeed in this market when they will launch their FF camera in 2018…
