World’s first image taken with the famous new Sony curved sensor!

That image doesn’t look exciting at all but it’s precious because it’s actually the first photo taken with a Sony curved sensor!

Rumors are getting stronger around a new surprising camera from Panasonic. A fixed lens compact with Four Thirds sensor, fixed prime lens and 4K video recording. A cameras smaller than the GM1 and therefore pockeatable!

The camera would be of higher quality of the Sony RX100M3. It will be announced on July 16 already! Sounds great!
