UPDATE: Like I told you previously no trusted sources had confirmed an announcement for today. So we have to wait a bit longer to get the real lens announcement. But here comes an interesting note:
For a short moment a Youtuber uploaded a video with the title naming these two lenses (see screenshot on top):
24-50mm f/2.8 G
16-25mm f/2.8 G
I did hide the name of the channel….we don’t want to get him into any in trouble.
P.S.: What’s 100% confirmed via trusted sources is that Sigma will have an announcement in early February.
Right now a readers sent me a “leak” of two new lenses that are coming soon…possibly even in the next 48 hours:
16-25mm f/2.8 G
24-50mm f/2.8 G
I already have leaked the 24-50mm f/2.8 G lens back in December (see image on top). I still have no image of the 16-25mm G lens. If you have details and leaks to share use this anonymous contact form or contact me at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com
To protect the source I cannot share the “leak” I got today. But I can share a HUGE teaser!
Two week ago a NEW source sent me info about these two f/2.8 G zooms but also an additional info about a CRAZY WOW product. I didn’t post this on SAR because obviously I don’t like to post those kind of SUPER WOW rumors without at least some shred of rational hope. But if these two lenses will be indeed announced that it’s reasonable enough to believe there is a fair chance that crazy part will become true too! So here is the deal, if these lenses will be announced (possibly this week) than a couple of days after I will share that crazy part of the rumor. And yes, this is a kind of rumor that will make you talk about it the whole year…even A LOT more exciting than the Sony A9III buzz :)
So stay tuned and subscribe my newsletter and my other social channels:
Through trusted sources, I can now confirm with certainty that we will get the new ZV-E10II before the summer. I have not yet received an exact announcement date… but I suspect we’ll see the new camera sometime between February and April.
The sources haven’t revealed any details yet, so we can only speculate on the specs. My best guess:
To recap: We should get a new E-mount cine camera first, followed by the new ZV-E10II vlogger camera. But just like last year, we expect more interesting Alpha bodies to be announced after the ZV announcement. See this screenshot of the 2023 announcement from Dpreview:
I don’t have anything solid yet about those Alpha bodies but my guess is that the A7sIV is coming next…some times after the ZV-E10II announcement.
One trusted source told me that Sigma will have a press event in very early February (likely in the days between Feb 4 and 8). He didn’t share yet what Sigma will announce and I am working to get some info in this.
But I hope that Mr Yamaki will hold on his promise made exactly one year ago that they are now going to focus on announcing more “unique” lenses. After all the past 12 months we had a bunch of exciting lens patents. Now, those patents are by no means final proof that it will make it into mass production. But just for the sake of discussion I will list you those lens specs and you can vote which one you would love to get for real:
I am working on a bunch of reliable rumors. First small RELIABLE rumor will be posted today (UPDATE: tomorrow…have to work on one aspect of the rumor today). Many more coming the days after ;)

About those rumors: I have no idea who sent them and 90% of the times they turn out to be wrong. But, it happened in the past that a couple of those were right. So I will post them today, and we all together can eventually keep track of this. If one of the sources turns out to be right than we will know we can trust it a bit more!

A6700 R coming in 2024

New FX50 you mentioned, has the highest dynamic range of almost all Sony full frame sensors. it is 35mm. Has : Autofocus, IBIS, electronic variable ND. Same style of body like Canon C70 but slimmer and lighter. Around 3000$ launch price. Not FX 30 sensor. Higher dynamic range at least 15. Very cheap rival to Arri Alexa and C70.

2024 will be a video year with two major announcements. Even the lenses will be video oriented. Tell the video people that they will be satisfied
