Sony A7s priced at $1800?
On May 7 Sony will announce the A7s pricing. According to one of our trusted sources the price could be surprisingly low: $1800! That’s about the same price of the Panasonic GH4.
Likely two more Sony announcements on May 7 and May 15.
I know it sounds weird but we heard that there will be two more Sony announcements. On next week on May 7 to unveil the final A7s pricing and the two new Sony FE lenses (28-135mm Powerzoom and 16-35mm Zeiss).
The week after (May 15) Sony will then unveil the RX100M3 whichs specs have been already leaked:
20MP sensor (same as RX100/M2 models)
ISO 125-25600
24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 lens
Built in View finder (SVGA OLED Tru-Finder 1440k dots)
Tiltable screen (180 degrees up)
Record in XAVC S format (Same format of the Sony A7s but with no 4K output option).
Almost same size and weight as the current RX100/M2 models.
I have been told all other specs are the same of the current RX100II model.
Price is said to be around 800-850 Euro in Europe. Should be around $800-850 in USA (US price is my guess)
Busy time at Sony!

A Large Zeiss aperture prime lens and a Sony G macro will be announced at Photokina:

Fuji to launch the impressive 16mm f/1.4 and 140-400mm lenses!
Fujirumors unveiled the updated roadmap according to their trusted sources. First of all Fuji will launch an impressive XF 16mm f/1.4 lens at Photokina!
And they will also launch a 120-400mm OIS lens which surely will become popular among bird photographers and spies :)
The third good news is that the soon to come 18-135mm lens will become 1 stop faster at the tele end. Instead of the expected f/5.6 the lens will have a f/4.8 aperture at 135mm!
Fuji really knows what lenses has to be done to make a system popular!
