Full Sony A7rV, A9III, ZV, medium format and E-mount lens rumor recap!

Asobinet made a summary of all Sony rumors posted mostly by me :)

Here i am going to repost it and add some comments about what’s likely and not likely:

α7R V

• Appears in 2022 (likely in the second half)
• Appeared in the latter half of 2022 due to the shortage of semiconductors
• 8K 30p full width Super35
• 4K 60p full width Super35

SAR comment: I can confirm it’s coming late 2022. 8K I cannot confirm but I think it’s highly likely.

α9 III

• Appears in 2022 (likely in the second half)
• Appeared in the latter half of 2022 due to the shortage of semiconductors
• Appears in the fourth quarter of 2022
• Later than the new α7R V and ZV-1
• 24 million pixels
• Significant upgrade of core specs
• Wild specs:
  ・24MP
  ・ New menu
  ・ Tilt monitor
  ・ 4K 60p
  ・ $ 4999
  ・ 32000 yuan

SAR comment: I think that it will be released in 2023 only due the persistent chip shortages.

others

• An unknown model will appear in 2022
  ・ It is not a successor model to the existing camera
  ・ It will appear in 2022.3-2023.3
