SO in the end…it’s possible! You can fit a large FF sensor inside that E-mount. Now I am really wondering why they did it on a camcorder but not on a NEX-7 alike camera. We really have to ask Sony managers what they are waiting for…
After all those massive leaks the camera has now been officially announced. Specs and preorders are up on BHphoto:
RED Q10
Silver Q10
New 15-45mm lens
K to Q mount adapter
What you see here on top is the first picture of the new Sony NEX 16-50mm pancake zoom.
And Pentax will soon announce that K to Q mount adapter for your tiny little Q camera.
OG sent us this picture that shows how far Sony went with the camera miniaturization. The Full Frame RX1 body is as small as the Panasonic GX1 body which uses a much smaller Four Thirds sensor. Of course the RX1 is not an interchangeable system camera like the Panasonic but I guess a RX1 alike NEX camera is on the horizon as well!
Photoprice Canada leaked two pictures of the new Sony RX1 compact Full Frame camera with Carl Zeiss 35mm f/2.0 fixed(!) lens. It is the big (and expensive) brother of the RX100 compact camera. Price should be close to $3000. But…there is one big but….Sony would have killed Leica and Fuji if that would have been an interchangeable lens camera. What the heck is Sony waiting for?
It’s always hard and honestly impossible to define what a “PRO camera” is. You can take superb pictures with any camera so I guess it has to do more with a mix of features, sensor size and price. Currently most of us may would agree that the only real PRO mirrorless camera may be the Leica M series. At least the price could be defined as PRO :) An it is the only mirrorless camera using a “larger than APS-C sensor”…precisely a Full Frame sensor.
Now, Photokina may bring us the first real Leica M alternatives. Andrea at SonyAlphaRumors reports that Sony managed to keep a super secret around a mysterious professional mirrorless Sony camera. No specs are given but the camera is supposed to be announced on Wednesday!
And curiously CSCmagazine reports that the new Hassleblad mirrorless camera may use a new “larger than Full Frame” Sony sensor!
This is going to be interesting!
Here are some new images of the PEntax Q10 with the new Pentax Q 15-45mm f/2.8 lens.
