Sony Alpha group. Sony A1 group. Sony A9 series group. Sony A7r series group. Sony A7s series group. Sony A7 series group.

We are now in November and this means that 12 months passed without a Sony Full Frame E-mount camera announcement. The last FF camera Sony announced was the Sony A9III back in November 2023.

The past 7 years Sony always did announce at least 1 new FF E-mount camera. 2016 was the exception although they did announce a new A-mount FF camera (the Sony A99II).

2023: A9III, A7cR, A7cII, ZV-E1
2022: A7rV
2021: A7IV, FX3, A1
2020: A7c, A7sIII
2019: A9II, A7rIV
2018: A7III
2017: A7rIII, A9

I was afraid that this would be the first year in a long time that Sony wouldn’t announce a new FF camera. But now I know for sure we are getting the Sony A1 successor on November 19 :)

I have never seen this before: The Sony A1II reorder page is already being promoted by BHphoto (Click here). They writes:

Stay tuned! Sony is announcing their newest flagship mirrorless camera, the a1 II, on Tuesday, November 19, 2024 at 9AM EST.

And this is the live stream video:

On that day also the 28-70mm f/2.0 GM will be announced and I leaked both specs and images in the past weeks:

Sony A1II rumored specs:

• Sony A9III body
• Same 50MP A1 sensor
• Pre-Capture
• 3.2 inch vari angle screen
• 8 stops stabilization (Sony A1 has 5.5 stops)

Tokina has discontinued production of the atx-m 85mm F1.8 FE lens. Rumor has it that this lens was actually manufactured by Viltrox. Now that the Chinese company has a good reputation, I think they no longer need the partnership with Tokina. Viltrox already sells its own 85mm lens under its own name.
