More info about the next three new Sony cameras: A9III, new FX camera and maybe the A7sIV

As you know back in September Sony registered three new Sony cameras. I think I now know nearly for certain what 2 out of these 3 cameras are:

• Sony A9III (100% certain)
• Sony video focused camera (100% certain)…it might be a new FX camera (70% chance).
• Maybe a Sony A7sIV (50% chance)

A more technical analysis of the Sony registrations:

I thank our Chinese reader E8M for sharing valuable information on how to interpret correctly the China registration codes. In short:

• Multi band models have “A” in the code (which means they support both 2.4 and 5.1 Ghz) and short range models have “D” in the code (2.4Ghz)
• Devices produced in China have the “P” code and imported devices have the “J” code

Nearly all mid to high end models from Sony have multi band support (“A” code). And Sony produces most (not all!) higher end camera in Thailand/Japan and therefore they have the code “J”.
That’s why most of the higher end cameras are labeled “AJ”. Most of the mid label camera the “AP” code (multi band device produced in China).

This isn’t 100% accurate because there are exceptions (like FX30 and A7rIII). But it’s most of the time a good indication of what to expect. Hope it’s clear now :)
