Shipping November 5: Sony RX1 R II FF BSP for $3300
Sony’s taking a page from the Apple book by separating (in time) the announcement from the ordering. Officially it is for Big Sensor Prime fans, the Sony RX1 R II with a starting price of $3300 and a 42mp full frame Exmor R sensor BSI CMOS (once upon a time Sony’s own people said BSI technology was best suited to make the most out of 1/2.x” sensors – ha!), and 35mm f2 Zeiss lens. Pre-orders are not accepted yet, but the camera has a page with specs and details at B&H Photo which says “Item will be available for purchase on Thu, Nov 5 8AM”.
This too has been added to the New Cameras of 2015 Tracking page.

Speaking of eBay, if you want to be among the first to get the official Android 6.0 release, and your current Nexus device (Nexus 10 or 7 (first gen) or 4 or earlier) will not get the official 6.0, and you are looking to get a device that will get that, the new condition factory unlocked Nexus 6 by Motorola in the blue color scheme is on sale for $300 with free shipping and a one year warranty by MobilePros1 (97.9%) on eBay. Limit five per customer. Over 3500 units sold so far from this listing. (the Nexus 5 will also get Android 6.0 but it will probably be its last official major release, while the Nexus 6 will likely get two more official major releases – this is based on previous patterns, by no means guaranteed).

Blog Update & How to Quickly Catch Up with Bursts of Posts
Two quick housekeeping updates before we start with the “PM edition”.
First, I am (finally!) switching to a new desktop PC. This will help a lot in the long run, especially for more long-form type of posts and more sustained burst-mode posts, but in the very short term, you may see some more inconsistency in posting patterns, as I try to get it fully operational. The priority here is to make sure all is well long before the Black Friday 2015 madness begins. Had I missed this window, I would probably have to wait until after CES 2016 🙂
The last few weeks we increased the number of posts, often 20+ per day. So if you are checking intermittently and want to make sure you don’t miss any posts, here’s some easy ways to catch up:
+ in the blue menu line, the “HOME” button has quick links to the first five pages of posts. These typically cover about a week of posts
+ filter by brand or product category – use the blue menu line to filter by “Manufacturers” (Canon, Nikon, etc) or “Camera Mounts” (Canon DSLR Gear, Nikon DSLR Gear, Fuji X, M43rds, etc), and “Camera Types” (DSLRs, Mirrorless, Lenses, Superzooms, etc)
+ if you are only monitoring by email, I believe the Feedburner email has a limit of 25 posts per day. I have to figure out a good service for email subscribers but I am all of the “departments” and there’s only so much I can do per day (if you have any to recommend to use (or recommend to avoid) please let us know. Given the time sensitive nature of many deals, once-a-day email is not an efficient way to keep up
