A trusted source gave me a clear indication the new 12mm f/1.4 APS-C E-mount lens will be announced very soon. What I don’t know is if also the Sigma 35mm f/1.2 FE II lens is going to be announced along this lens.

Just a weird mockup of a non-existing Sony camera

Digitalcameraworld shared their speculation about the Sony cameras that are in the works and could be released in 2025:

Sony 

• Camera: Sony A7 V (successor to A7 IV)
• Sensor: 44MP (potentially Sony’s new sensor)
• Resolution: Likely to rival Canon EOS R5 (45MP) and Nikon Z8, but not surpass Sony A1 (50MP) or A7R V (61MP)
• AI Features: Significant AI-driven features expected (similar to Canon EOS R1 and R5 Mark II)
• Burst Speed: Improvement to the current 10fps, aligning with competitors
• Video: Removal of crop in 4K 60p video
• Release: Delayed; now expected in 2025

Sony A7sIV

• Camera: Sony A7S III launched in October 2020, overdue for a refresh
• Successor: The A7S IV is rumored for release in 2024, likely syncing with the October launch of the A7S III’s predecessor
• Sensor: Potential debut of a new dual-layer sensor, possibly the same as the partially stacked sensor seen in the Nikon Z6 III
• Resolution: The 24.5MP sensor capable of internal full-frame 6K 60p RAW, full-frame 1080p 240p, and APS-C 4K 120p
• 8K Omission: Rumored absence of 8K recording, a deviation from typical flagship features
• Video Features: The A7S IV is expected to focus on improving low-light and dynamic range performance while maintaining high-quality video recording
• Other Models: The A7S III has had indirect successors in the form of the Sony FX3, Sony FX6, and Sony ZV-E1

Sony FX3II

• Upcoming Camera: The Sony FX3 II is rumored to be the next camera in the FX series, potentially replacing the A7S IV rather than being released in addition to it.
• Shared Architecture: It’s suggested that both the FX3 and FX6 may share the same architecture as the A7S III due to their similar design.
• Sensor Rumors: Some rumors indicate the new camera could feature a 12MP global shutter sensor, although this seems unlikely given Sony’s focus on global shutter technology. Chinese whispers tend to be unreliable, but it’s not entirely out of the question.
• Potential New Sensor: The rumored Nikon Z6 III partially stacked sensor, a 24.5MP option, could also make sense for the new FX camera, which would match the trend of improving low-light and dynamic range performance.

Sony A6200

• Camera: The Sony A6200 was originally expected to arrive in the summer and is said to feature the same excellent 26MP image sensor as the Sony A6700.
• Shared Sensor: The same sensor has also been used in the Sony ZV-E10 II, which raises the question of whether Sony or consumers really need both the A6200 and A6700, especially with the ZV camera as a third option.

Sony RX1rIII

• Affordable Alternative: If you’ve been waiting for an affordable alternative to the Leica Q3, you might be in luck.
• New RX1: Sony Rumors has speculated that Sony could resurrect its full-frame compact camera line with a new RX1, the first since the 2016 RX1R II.
• Resurgence of Compact Cameras: Compact cameras have been seeing a resurgence lately, thanks to the success of the Leica Q3 and the Fujifilm X100VI, making it interesting to see what Sony will bring to the market.

I don’t know how reliable this info is. But rumor has it two cine cameras will be announced ahead of the IBC show in Amsterdam

Sony Z380
The Sony Z380 is a newly developed 3CMOS BIONZ XR XDCAM camcorder that features internal variable ND, which supports 4K120p recording in all RGB Tricolor.
The image quality of the Z380 is significantly higher than that of the , thanks to the BIONZ XR, AI unit, and new high-speed, high-saturation, and high-sensitivity Exmor RS 3CMOS.
Based on test information, the image quality of the PXW-Z380 is superior to that of the . It has a low base ISO and a high sensitivity mode ISO, which is consistent with the .
The Z380’s autofocus performance is a vast improvement over the previous generation , relieving the operator of the pressure of focusing and allowing them to shift their attention entirely to composition and following the subject.

Sony FX8
The New full-frame product, named FX8, will feature a resolution of 12K, which is four times that of the . It uses a 16:9 cropped 12K full-frame (3:2 aspect ratio, 96M total pixels) CMOS image sensor.
It doesn’t have internal RAW or X-OCN recording capabilities. Like the , it outputs full-frame crop 3.8K 16-bit RAW to a third-party recorder via SDI at a maximum of 120fps.
The only recording format available is XAVC, which offers 8K30p or 4K60p recording in full-frame and S35 modes. And the full-frame crop 3.8K mode provides 4K120p recording.
The readout specifications are not as good as the URSA Cine 12K, as the processor limits it, but it is still a reliable and easy-to-use camcorder that offers high-speed 4K (for users) and full-frame/Super35 dual-format 8K30p/4K60p (for users) for creative freedom.

In the past days I got two messages from tow different sources claiming a new Cine E-mount camera will be announced soon:

Source 1:

Sony’s sales claims that it will launch a Cinema Line camera that support XAVC 8K. It is positioned below BURANO, so it may be the FX9 II.

Source 2:

Likely with global shutter… he said he couldn’t really specifics right now but I’ll find out soon… 

On this image you see both, the upcoming  new 16mm f/2.8 and 85mm f/1.8 PRIMA lenses from Samyang. On the very left the already available 35mm f/1.4 Prima lens.

Here are the first leaked images of the new Samyang 85mm f/1.8 “Prima” FE lens. This lens is going to be announced very soon. This would be the 35th E-mount lens with this focal length (list here at BH). Don’t know why this lens is actually needed :)
