Hey folks! Are you ready for the next Sony announcement tomorrow?

Share

Enjoyed the A9 buzz? Well, it’s already time to look elsewhere. Tomorrow (Sunday) at 3pm Las Vegas time you can follow the video live stream of the Sony NAB press conference here on SAR. Here are a couple of info:

  1. I heard there is really a lot of exciting Broadcast stuff to be announced. “Someone” told me it will be more exciting than the past year.
  2. The Stolen Sony Truck will have no influence on the show as the missing stuff got already replaces with a new shipment
  3. I have no reliable info about a possible new E-mount camera announcement. So it’s hard for me to think tomorrow Sony will announce the new A7sIII. It’s hard…but not impossible! It would make sense for Sony to release such a camera because the new Panasonic GH5 is really a great camera many PRO’s and Vloggers are considering to buy
  4. There may be a new E-mount camcorder (FS9 or so?)
  5. What we know for a fact: Sony registered two new cameras back in February. One is the A9. But the other one? A7sIII or RX1m3?
  6. What we know from reliable sources is that also the 16-35mm f/2.8 GM lens is ready to be announced. Will it be announced tomorrow or in June?

Stay tuned on SAR and come visit us tomorrow at 3pm Las Vegas time to follow the event live!

Quick thanks to our sources for the spot on A9 rumors!

Share

The last months our sources consistently told us the new High End camera would be focused on “High Speed” and have low resolutions sensor (they said around 20Mp), 20fps, Dual SD card, Joystick control, slightly larger A7 body, touchscreen (rumor recap here). The first A9 High Speed camera SR5 rumor got posted on Feb 17 (read here). And our sources also said there would be a new 100-400mm FE lens (rumor here).

These rumors were correct and I have to thank all trusted sources for that!!!

Teaser:
After a difficult two years the last six months SAR got back on track with new trusted sources that correctly shared all recently launched lens specs (85 FE, 100mm STF, 100-400mm) and the A6500 and A9 info. One more great comeback: After 3 years of silence one of my very old trusted sources started to chat back with me about future Sony stuff. He was the one sharing all the full A7 roadmap and camera specs four years ago. So hopes are high he can share some high quality rumors about the future A7 and A9 cameras too.
So thanks again to those sources for sharing the exciting info!

Personal note:
I worked like hell in those weeks. But there is no time to rest. On Sunday we have the NAB show press event and in a few  weeks we will enter a new “rumor time” for the June announcement (16-35mm GM and RX coming?).

This is how creepy silent and super fast the 20fps electronic shutter is!

Photorec just published that mechanical vs electronic shutter noise check. And yes…it’s impressive! And also check out the first part of the A9 video review from Max Yuryev!
