Surprise: No Sony Creative Space event in October?

In recent years, Sony has often announced new cameras at its Creative Space events, usually held in late October or early November. But this year Sony seems to not have planned such an event. It might be that in very last minute they will announce it but this is really odd and a sign that they might have NO camera ot announce this year? If you happen to have some info about that please drop me a message using this contact box or at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com. Thanks!

As I reported last week, the Sony A7V will be launched in the first quarter of 2025. The Sony A1II will also be on the market in 2025. But I’m keeping my fingers crossed that there’s something I don’t know yet and we might get an announcement in October-November, like every year!
