Sony ASP-C camera future

Hi José

As I can't afford to marry a new set of lenses ... I'll have to wait for a new dateable E-mount body. In the meantime, do you know anything about the Canon EF 40mm/2.8 STM? Seems as though it would be cheaper than any of the mainstream brand native 40mms, even if I have to buy a metabones adapter. This isn't a lens I am considering for BIF, sport, or speeding grandsons, so AF speed isn't all that much of an issue.

Cheers

Mike

From Dpreview

"The Sony a6600 also falls into similar territory as the R7: it can't match the build quality or ergonomics of the Fujifilm, nor can it match its resolution in stills or video mode. But it is an easier camera to set and forget, and also sports the best AF system of the bunch."

My comments

It seems to me that Sony doesn't need to do too much to make the A6600 even better. Just make it 2023 ready i.e. 1/8000 sec. shutter speed, mechanical and electronic shutter of at least 15 fps and +30MP.

It's sad, now that DPReview is closing, we'll have to read about new releases from Sony (hopefully the A6600 replacement) from another source.
