Two sources now told me that we can expect a lot more features to be implemented than previously disclosed by Sony. This should bring both the Sony A1 and Sony A7sIII on par or ahead of the competition.
The bad news of this rumor is that it might means that the A1II (and A7sIV) might not going to be released any time soon.
A source (Thanks a lot!) just told me the DJI MIC 2 will be announced on January 17th at 15:00 Berlin time. As you might know the DJI Mic 2 has been “silently” launched as part of DJi Osmo 3 combo kit (Click here). What we are getting now on Jan 15 is the possibility to buy the Mic only for our Sony cameras.
UPDATE: Some specs:
32 bit float recording
bigger battery
No timecode
Intelligent Noise Canceling
250m reach
Shadow Black and Pearl White colors
To the source: Thanks for sharing the info! Let me know if you have more DJI news!
Chinese leaker E8M_8888 has shared many correct info on Sony sensor releases and camera registrations. He now attempted to guess a possible Sony camera roadmap for 2024. I see people took this “wishlist” as more serious than it is…so please take it with a huge dose of sepsis. He wrote:
The price of the 10mm f/2.8 FF AF lens has been leaked through google shop. This contains a link to this “private” Venus Optics URL: https://www.venuslens.net/product/private-laowa-10mm-f-2-8-ff-zero-d/ref/5/. The lens is coming to your home on Jan 31.
I guess official preorders will open any time soon!
On January 24 Hasselblad will announce the new 907X 100 Megapixel X-mount back. It’s the same 100MP Sony sensor of the Hasselblad X2D. I have no info about the price but it will definitely be more expensive than their current 907x 50MP.
I am still waiting the day Sony will make a medium format camera too!
Two trusted sources confirmed that this year we will get a ton of FX/ZV cameras and powerzoom lenses. The sources didn’t want to spoil the fun with the detailed names of the cameras but I hope this list includes the Sony FX3 and Sony A7sIII successors. While I am near certain we are getting the ZV-E10 successor. Also to be expected are new E-mount camcorders. If you are waiting for the A7IV and A1 successors you likely have to wait til 2025.
But if you don’t care about video are now depressed about this news, I think there is room for some surprises for you…stay tuned because “focused on video” doesn’t mean we will not get something nice for pure photographer ;)
