Back in early August we told you three cameras would be announced soon: 2 new APS-C cameras in late August (rumor here) and 1 new FF camera in September October (rumor here). We were spot on with these rumors and today I can share you the most “reliable” rumor I posted this year:
YES the new Sony A9II is coming within weeks!!!
I am now 100% SURE Sony will announce the new Sony A9II in late early October. I got clear evidence supporting this but I cannot for obvious reason share it to you. Trust me on this rumor I will NOT be proven wrong ;)
And now a small correction on yesterday’s SR3 ranked rumor:
Sony has indeed a smaller “closed door” event for professional Sports photographers in mid September (as reported yesterday). But we now heard the official journalist open event will be hold in late September/early October.
What we know so far:
100% chance there will be a journalist press meeting in early October
100% chance Sony will announce the new Sony A9II
60% chance the A9II has a new 36 Megapixel sensor
What else can we expect?
I got no info about new lenses that might be announced on that event. But I think it would make sense if Sony would announce some new sports glass along the A9II.
So please stay tuned, I will tell you more about this A9II as soon as “I can” :)

We got three new “messages” about the possible FX9 and FX6 cameras:
Source 1:
The next generation of XDCAM cameras from Sony are the PXW-FX9 and PXW-FX6. These will feature the next generation of sensor chipset providing much improved AF with face detection and Eye-AF.
These will also be based on the current FS5/7 design and with some features from the Sony Venice cinema camera. First out is the higher end PXW-FX9 this fall and next year a lower end PXW-FX6.
Codecs include XAVC for both cameras with XQD on the PXW-FX9 and SDXC for the PXW-FX6. Both will do 10-bit internal recording and external RAW recording. Resolution for the PXW-FX9 is almost full 6K in full frame and for the PXW-FX6 S35 sized sensor at around 5.7K. PXW-FX9 will use XAVC-I and XAVC-L codecs and PXW-FX6 will use XAVC-L only.

Source 4 (already posted weeks ago):

Back in July a new source told me the Sony A7rIV would be announced soon and I didn’t really believe him until the very last second. Now I know better and I will take him a bit more seriously from now on :)
Well today he contacted me again and told me quite some big news. But this time he gave me a warning that unlike the A7rIV rumor he shared this time he is yet not 100% sure about this. This is what he “heard”:
a9ii announcement should be in about 1-2 weeks. 33-36mp
mind blowing specs, but i don’t know much more than this
want to go big for the olympics phenomenal specs
UPDATE:
Same source said the announcement will be made in late September. While some sports photographers will already see the camera before the announcement in 1-2 weeks in a “closed door” event.
All we know with 100% certainty is that a high end camera will be announced soon. This camera got already officially registered in Asia:
But I am still completely uncertain if this is the A9II or A7sIII. Yes we need the A7sIII but it’s also true that Sony has to respond to the new Nikon D6 which will be announced on September 5. I guess that Nikon made everything possible to outshine the current Sony A9. A new Sony A9II with groundbreaking sensor tech could kill it at birth!
Stay tuned for more rumors soon!

Sony has announced two live stream events:
1) At the IFA in Berlin they will announce new consumer products (no new E-mount gear expected). I will post the livestream video on Sept 5 on SAR (you can already see it at the bottom of this pots)
2) At the IBC show on September 13 there will be another livestream event. The Sony A7sII was announced at the 2015 IBC show. So “THEORETOCALLY” this could be a candidate for a possible A7sII successor announcement. But I have heard no rumor that would indicate this is the case. It’s a lot more likely Sony will announce new camcorders and maybe the FX9 FF E-mount camcorder too.
Still, fact is that I heard a new Full Frame E-mount camera will be announced soon. But it might be that there will be a special third livestream event especially for this one!
