Sony A-mount showdown between February and April. 4K A-mount camera coming !

[joe1946]

A-mount camera owners are not happy in these days to see me post many E-mount (A7-A7r) related news. But really shouldn’t be worried! Your time is coming and in a couple of months E-mount camera owners will complain on SAR that I post too many A-mount news

According to multiple sources Sony will have multiple announcement the first half of 2014. And most of them concern new APS-C and FF A-mount camera releases. From what I heard most innovations regard the autofocus and viewfinder tech. Sensors should be the based on the A7-A7r. And one of the FF A-mount cameras will DEFINITELY have 4K recording.

To sum up I heard about:
- Two FF A-mount cameras (one certainly with 4K).
- One new APS-C A-mount camera to replace the A77.
- There will be a new NEX-7 successor too (E-Mount)

Is that a dual A+PL mount?

It looks like it. I think the E mount is a much more flexible mount since B&H shows 34 E mount cine lenses with most of them being full frame like the Zeiss Compact Prime E mount cine lenses along with most APS-C and full frame DSLR lenses using low cost adapters from Canon, Nikon, Pentax etc.
