from Phase One's Facebook WallHere 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...

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!
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 :)
