FUTURE Sony cameras: The A6xxx, A9III, A7sIII and many more need a replacement in 2023!
We ain’t getting any new camera in November-December. But in 2023 a lot of Sony Alpha cameras are due for a replacement:
- Sony A6600 (August 28, 2019) 3 years and 4 months old
- Sony A6100 (August 28, 2019) 3 years and 4 months old
- Sony A9II (October 3, 2019) 3 years and 2 months old
- Sony A7sIII (July 28, 2020) 2 years and 4 months old
- Sony A7c (September 15, 2020) 2 years and 2 months old
- Sony A1 (January 26, 2021) 1 year and 11 months old
Consider that on average Sony announces a camera replacement after 3 years and you will quickly notice a surprisingly large number of cameras will be 3+ year old in 2023!
- A6xxx:
The A6xxx line has to be updated in 2023 if Sony still wants to be considered as a serious APS-C contender. And recently Sony stated clearly that they have to release new APS-C bodies: “Unfortunately, I can’t mention future products in detail, but yes, we understand the market demand for APS-C models as well, and we’ve never stopped development of them.” - A9III:
I also do believe the A9III is coming in 2023. I have no solid specs yet but I discussed some wild rumors on my latest youtube video. - A7sIV:
I got no info about a possible A7sIV in 2023. But maybe towards the end of the year we will get an 8K A7sIV too? - A7cII:
I see this likely to be announced in 2023. Basically again a copy paste model of the current A7IV. - Sony A1II:
I think it’s more likely we will get this camera in 2024.
In this list I didn’t mention possible ZV or RX fixed lens cameras…but this is worth to be talked about in a future new post :)
