Just recently I told you that it would be nice if Sony would make a lens like the new Canon 24-105mm f/2.8. Well 7Artisans was quick in responding to my request and is teasing the launch of a new 24-96mm T2.9 FE lens ;)
This lens will be announced in December.
I finally got a confirmation from ONE trusted source that the Sony A9III will be announced next week along the 300mm f/2.8 GM.
Another trusted source also told me that while there are events planed on November 8 and 9 all around the world…the actual announcement should happen on November 7th at 15:00 London time.
Still no confirmation about a possible A1 firmware update…but I hope it’s coming!

Note: In video I say that the announcement would happen on November 8th…but this recording was made shortly before the trusted source todl em it would actually happen on Nov 7.
We know for a fact that Sony registered two new High End cameras in China: One is 100% sure to be the A9III ( announcement on November 8th or January at max). But it’s totally unclear yet what the second camera is. An obvious guess would be the this is the A7sIV as it’s the current A7sIII is the oldest Full Frame camera after the A9II. And therefore expected to get a successor sometimes in 2024.
There are some early wild rumors I am receiving about this new A7sIV. Nothing from trusted sources…and therefore highly unreliable. Some of those rumors say the A7sIV would be the first Alpha camera with the new 2-layer sensor from Sony. Check out the video to hear out the specs!
A second source confirmed the Sony 300mm f/2.8 GM will be announced on November 8th.
I still got NO confirmation the A9III will be announced on that same event. All I am sure about is that if it’s not going to be announced next week that with 100% certainty it will be announced on the next Sony event that is scheduled for January. But it simply might be that Sony is incredibly tight lipped on this camera as it I know they spent a lot of advertisement money on this camera.
To recap:
Sony November 8th announcement:
On November 2 Canon will announce three new lenses. And one of them is a lens that has never been done before:
The only thing that comes close to that 24-105mm f/2.8 is the very old Tamron 28-105mm f/2.8

On November 8 Sony will have a major event. Very likely we are getting a new 30mm GM lens. But there is also a fair chance they might announce the A9III. from my trusted sources I know this camera was scheduled to be launched in the November 2023-January 2024 timeframe. One of my sources already saw the camera and told me it’s super fast. He also said that when he asked about the pricing Sony said that it will be priced in the mid $4,000.
The source didn’t want to share the specs yet as he is one of the few knowing them. So I am waiting til more people gets some A9III info before to post the final specs. To recap:
