Next Sony press events: What do you hope to get? A9, A7sIII, RX1III or….

Share

We heard of three possible Sony announcements:

  1. 60% chance to see a product announcement in London 20 April at the Sony World Photo Awards (Three years ago Sony announced the A77II at the World Photo Award).
  2. 100% chance to see new products (likely camcorders) at the Las Vegas 23 April at 2pm at NAB show (Three years ago Sony announced the A7s at the NAB).
  3. 70% chance to see new products at the June announcement (Date still to be confirmed).

My guts tell me that June is the more “natural” timing for major FF E-mount announcements unless Sony surprises us on April 20-23. So far we got rumors about:

  1. Sony High End and High Speed E-mount camera (Around 20fps and around 20MP, dual SD card slot, joystick, A6500 similar touchscreen/menu/autofocus)
  2. New camcorders (maybe new E-mount camcorder too?)
  3. New 16-35mm f/2.8 GM
  4. New 100-400mm FE GM
  5. RX1rIII (42MP sensor, IBIS, same 3.68MP Leica Q EVF and 4K video)

We know Sony sometimes makes a big press event for literally nothing. So be prepared to be disappointed or to be surprised :)

Now the BIG question for SAR readers:

Competition news: Nikon announced the D7500. Ricoh-Pentax camera business shrinking?

Share

We got two news from the competition:

1) Nikon today announced the D7500 (specs here on Amazon). It has the same D500 20 megapixel Sony sensor. This is basically a D7200 upgraded with the new D500 features. A bit surprising is that Nikon did get rid of the dual SD slot from the D7200 (the D7500 has one slot only). And the battery life is 15% shorter.

2) Ricoh-Pentax seems to be in trouble with their camera business (as so many do). They had to revise down the profit forecast and also announced that they will reduce their camera business to focus on High Value cameras only. Full story at Mirrorlessrumors.

(SR4) A comeback rumor from a trusted source hints a possible London 20 product launch event too?

Share

Four years ago a source named “”Y… u… s…”” shared to me the correct QX, RX100II info and the first A7 and A7r hints. Well after four years that source just sent me a message right now to tell me this:

I heard there is a very important announcement around April 20 at London”

So maybe we will get two announcements within 3 days? An E-mount Camera in London (Sony World Photo Award event) and a Camcorder focused release event on April 23 in Las Vegas (NAB).

Message to “Y… u… s…”: Thanks for coming back! And I hope you will grab some details about the London event soon :)
