Again: those ZV-E10II and A6900 specs are just a made up wishlist
So folks, there is again a round of ZV-E10II and A6900 specs being published as “rumor” by other websites. The source of that spec list is E8M on Weibo. He does a great job when spotting real camera registrations but when it comes to predicting the specs…well he is just guessing and he doesn’t have any trusted source. In the past years he published many such spec list about Fuji, Sony and so forth and they turned out to be wrong most of the time with only some small parts being correct because well..sometimes a guess can be partially correct.
Today some “rumor” websites took his “guess list” and sold this as a “reliable rumor”. SAR readers asked me about this and therefore I felt obliged to post this article.
The ZV-E10II specs he posted for example are based by the rational assumption it will use the same A6700 sensor. I told you myself months ago that while I do not have reliable Z-E10II specs I assume it will use the same A6700s sensor. E8M makes now the same assumption and guessed the possible specs. He also speculated about a new A6900 using the same Fuji X-T5 40MP sensor (which is made by Sony). But I have not hear of any possibility about the A6900 coming any time soon. The A6700 was announced last year and usually Sony does update their cameras after 4 year…which means a new A6900 might be coming in 2027 only!
Therefore I repeat…the following spec list is just a guess and not a rumor coming from a reliable source:
