What to expect at the Sony event on Sunday: FS-5II and no new A7sIII?

Share

On Sunday at 3pm Las Vegas time (23:00 in London) Sony will have their NABshow products announcement. You can follow the video live stream here on SonyAlphaRumors.com.

That said, what can we hope to get?

60% chance: Sony FS-5II E-mount camcorder 
The chances are increasing Sony will introduce the new FS-5II E-mount camcorder. No specs have been rumored so far but this camera is long due for a release

30% chance: Sony A7sIII
NABshow would be the perfect place for the Sony A7sIII announcement but so far we did not get any reliable info that it will be announced on Sunday. All we know are some specs shared by trusted sources: New kind o sensor with integrated memory, 4k60fps, and same kind of A7III body improvements.

Lenses:
Top sources confirmed the 24mm f/1.4 GM lens will be announced soon. But this lens might be presented at one of the two upcoming shows (Worldphoto or Kando Trip) in April-May.

Chuck: “I added a video showing some images I got while shooting a Division 1 College Football Game this fall using the Sony A9 + 300 2.8 A-Mount Lens and the 100-400 GM Lens.  Also shot with the A99II. https://youtu.be/IaCOpgym0bU“

Horshack: “I found a quick and easy way to avoid the “Writing to Memory card. Unable to operate” error seen on Sony cameras whenever a user attempts to review a photo they’ve just taken. As you know, Sony eliminated this issue on their newest cameras like the A7rIII, A9, and A6500 with their faster front-end LSI chip, but the error still occurs on very popular models like the A7rII, A7II, A6300, RX10 II/II, RX100 IV and earlier, etc… My workaround addresses these cameras. Here is a short video demonstrating the workaround: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmJyMk2KLcs“
