————————

Like it happened with the A77II announcement there seems to be slighty changes on the exact announcement hour and date. I just have learned that unlike the previous rumor I got the RX100M3 and A7s (pricing) announcement will take place on May 16 and not tomorrow May 15.

So please spread the word. that there is a 24 hours delay. Will let you know as soon as I know the exact announcement hour although usually this kind of announcements happen at around 5-6am London time.

Note: After the May 16 announcement I will start to work more “deeply” on the Photokina rumors which means new A-mount FF cameras, new RX2, new Medium format camera rumors and the next generation E-mount cameras.

RX100M3 specs reminder:
20MP sensor (same as RX100M2 model)
ISO 125-25600
24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 lens
Built in View finder (SVGA OLED Tru-Finder 1440k dots)
Tiltable screen (180 degrees up)
Record in XAVC S format (Same format of the Sony A7s but with no 4K output option).
Almost same size and weight as the current RX100/M2 models.
I have been told all other specs are the same of the current RX100II model.
Price is said to be around 800-850 Euro in Europe. Should be around $800-850 in USA (US price is my guess)
