Sony Cameras and Backyard

[jolasa1]

Any plans for a BackyardSony to control the newer Sony mirrorless cameras (A7, etc.)?

 

I suspect Sony's SDK leaves a lot to be desired?

No plans, no enough demand... + the Sony SDK is at its infancy, not stable and way less feature rich than Nikon and Canon.

Well, I know 3 people who have the Sony A7s for Astro imaging use and love it. And I just ordered one. I would encourage reconsidering a Sony version. The camera is also being showcased in a talk at the 2016 NEIAC.

Then I suggest you start putting pressure on Sony to augment and their SDK offering.  As far as I know you can not even take pictures with their SDK.

What features do you need in the Sony SDK to port Backyard to Sony?   Would you like a collaborator?
