A6000 sensor gets tested at DxOmark and confirms Sony can do sensors :)
DxOmark (Click here) posted the full Sony A6000 sensor test and confirms once again that Sony is doing terrific sensors! Despite "loosing" some space for the phase detection pixels the A6000 still achieves to be on top of the DxO score along the NEX-7 and the best APS-C Nikon (also using Sony sensor). Too bad the new A7s doesn't feature the same ultra fast hybrid AF!
And the camera will ship tomorrow in USA too:
Sony A6000 at Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto, SonyStore. In Europe at Sony DE, UK, FR, IT, ES, AT, NL, BE, CH, FI, SE, PT, WexUK. Silver A6000 at Amazon US, BHphoto, WexUK.

SLRgear test: Zeiss Otus 55mm beats Sigma 50mm ART only by a hair! And new 85mm Otus confirmed
Let's talk about the best lenses you can use on your mirrorless cameras. On the video on top (minute 18:25) Zeiss confirms they will release a new 85mm f/1.4 Otus as next. But there is also another good news. If you want a Otus quality for a fourth of the price watch these tests at SLRgear:

Zeiss 55mm f/1.4 Otus review (Click here)
The Zeiss beats the Sigma ART only by a very small margin! Cannot wait Sigma to make more fast ART lenses with proper design for mirrorless cameras!

Sony A7s NAB coverage. Has stainless steel mount!
Here are a couple of videos and news from the NABshow in Las Vegas. From a mirrorless point of view the most interesting news is the Sony A7s Full Frame 4K camera. Actually it's the first Full Frame 4K camera with true pixel readout (no pixel binning and line skipping).
Sony explained the camera cannot record 4K internally because of the too much power it would use because of the large FF sensor. And there would be heating issues too.
Interesting: The new A7s has also a new stainless steal mount. Wondering if that has been introduced also to fix the light leak issue on the mount...

First real world Leica T picture!
Leicarumors posted the first real world Leica T picture! And those should be the camera specs:
- APS-C sensor (likely 16 MP)
- Without rangefinder and without built-in EVF (uses optional EVF)
- interchangeable mount for T lenses.
- touchsreen, Wifi
- $3000 for camera + kit lens
Sounds expensive!

Something unique to be announced by Sony soon...
We got words from trusted sources that Sony has some kind of unique surprise for all of us. It should be announced within the next couple of weeks. It is something that no camera manufacturer has done before...
What it is we don't know. But that Sony does that kind of things is not impossible. They did the RX series, the A7 series and I can certainly expect something like a medium format camera from them too :)
