While surprisingly, not a lot of details are known about Sony’s ambitious plans to bring to market a full frame e-mount camera, most indications point to an October announcement. It’s expected that Sony will announce two E-mount models, akin to the NEX series though due to a radical design shift, Sony is likely to opt for a new name. And what will Sony call it? Inside sources have told us that the name being currently used is the A7 and A73 with the latter being the higher end of the two. Now lets talk some specs.
It’s expected that the A7 will offer a 24-megapixel full frame sensor with anti aliasing filter, perfect for capturing fast movements in sports and video capturing. On the other hand, the A73 will opt for a larger, 36-megapixel sensor, target photographers with a taste for landscapes that will offer a large, vivid picture. It’s believed that the A73 will offer no anti aliasing filter. Both models will offer a fixed EVF and will be weather-sealed. The A7 will likely cost between $1500-$1700 while the A73 will likely fall between the $2300-$2500 price tag.
It’s worth noting that the above image is not an actual shot of the Sony A7 or A73 and instead a fan rendering of how the models might look like.
