Todays Stockholm Sony surprise event is for the A68 launch. As reported by SAR in these days the E-mount stuff will likely be announced in another separate event coming sometimes between mid and end November.

Thomas Ludwig from Cosyspeed sent me those images of the A68 displayed at Salon De La Photo. He also told me he can give you a free ticket if you contact him at info@cosyspeed.com. Chassimages also posted many photos from the Sony booth. And there is plenty of A-mount stuff to see (finally!).

And now stay tuned for the next E-mount lens and camera rumors! There could be some surprise ;)
