Mapcamera listed the top 10 best selling cameras in February:
Sony is starting to fall behind with no new affordable camera in the past 8 months: No A7V, no fixed lens RX, no true vintage model. We need something new from Sony don’t you agree?
Note: And this is their ranking for USED cameras:

Recently I reported to you that Sony has decided to postpone the launch of the Sony A7V, even though my sources told me that this camera is ready and in production. Sony executives also said that they are behind on production of the Sony A1II because demand is much higher than expected. Now a Russian photography channel shared some more info that yet has to be verified:
At CP+ behind the close doors Sony stated that they could show A7V by the end of 2025 and release it in 2026 in ideal conditions. The ideal conditions means a supply chains that are undergoing serious corrections because most photo mfrs (i assume he means not native Chinese but Japanese) are leaving China due to very high tariffs that are being placed on parts made in China. Every mfr is moving factories to places like Vietnam or Thailand or South Korea, there are serious delays with implementing something new. Behind the closed doors Sony said A7V will get a new sensor and will be a pretty interesting camera. Nothing else was said.
If what they are writing is true than the Sony A7V will be announced at latest in November with availability in January/February. I still hope the Sony A7V is coming before fall.
The polish website Optyczne spotted two more prime lenses in development by Samyang and Schneider Kreuznach. These images show that we will get two zooms and two primes this year:

About those rumors: I have no idea who sent them and 90% of the times they turn out to be wrong. But, it happened in the past that a couple of those were right. So I will post them today, and we all together can eventually keep track of this. If one of the sources turns out to be right than we will know we can trust it a bit more!

I was at my local Sony store in NZ, all the physical stores are closing here and in Australia, due to sales being down 15%, economy isn’t doing the greatest at the moment. All sales will be done online after March when the stores close.
But one of the staff at the store told me the A7V will be 51 mp?! That can’t be true, but you never know.
