So far I got NO reliable rumor about the possible release date of the upcoming A7sIII and A1 firmware update. All we know is that Sony said they would launch it from “March 2024 or later”.
The latest super wild rumor I got in my inbox is this one:
I have informations by my Sony dealer that the a1 firmware update will be Launched on March 28th
Fingers crossed this rumor turns out to be real…but like I told you…it’s a wild rumor :(

I just got a message through the anonymous contact box. The only way to contact the spruce back is to write this post.
First of all Thank You for sharing the info! I will now try to double check the info you sent me. Hopefully we are finally REALLY there! Two more questions:
1) You know the camera names for this?
2) Any evidence you can share?
Sony A9III at BHphoto. Amazon. Adorama. FotoErhardt.
ThePhoBlographer reviewed the A9III and focused particularly on the Flash photography aspect:
By far, the Sony a9 III is the single best camera that Sony has made thus far. Nearly every issue that I’ve had with the company’s cameras over the years has been resolved in some way or another. Ergonomically speaking, this is the most perfect Sony camera I’ve held. It truly feels like the evolution of a Minolta camera for mirrorless. It’s simple enough to use, and anything that you really need can be wired to a button or two. But perhaps the greatest innovation is the global shutter. While I miss the fact that I could physically feel the shutter, I’ll accept that it comes with new technology that makes strobism even better. If you’re a photographer that uses a lot of off-camera flash, then this is the single best camera you can get on the market right now.
If you happen to read those info…know those are completely MADE UP by the author of this “rumor”. So I repeat that 24-70mm f/2.0 info you see now is FAKE:
What’s real is that Sony will have an announcement on April 16/17 and that we will get the 16-25mm f/2.8 G. As usual they will soon copy me without to credit me (and credit “Weibo” as usual). Hey, that’s how they choose to fool you because they don’t care ;)

Three sources now confirmed Sony will have a product announcement event around April 16/17 (depending on your timezone). So far I only got confirmation about one specific product that will be announced on that day.
To be announced on April 16/17
Rumored to be announced within the next 2-3 months:
I would find it odd if Sony would only announce the 16-25mm G…so I hope at leas one more product of this list will be announced on that very same day. If I could choose I would want that 24-70mm f/2.0 to be announced first :)
I know that the first half of the year is not that exciting regarding the Sony announcements. But like I told major new camera announcement will be coming the second half of 2024! Don’t worry ;)
