Sony CES page and livestreaming. What do you hope to get: A99II, A6xxx or FE lenses?

Share

CES

An anonymous source sent me the link to that special Sony CES page: https://blog.sony.com/CES/. Sony will announce new products on January 5. And you can watch the announcement live via UStream here on SonyAlphaRumors.

He also added: “Sony will announce a new APS Camera at the CES next year according to their blog at“. But I have not found such a statement on any Sony site or social network. I may ask the source to send me the link to it?

Keep in mind the CP+ photography show will take place in February. So we don’t know yet what of the rumored new FE lenses, A6xxx and maybe new A-mount stuff will be announced at CES or at CP+.

Just curious:

What do you hope to see announced at CES on January 5?

Gary:http://www.f8photography.com.hk/blog/2015/11/20/apec2015. I used only Sony A7RII and A7SII to shoot exclusive images ‘behind the scenes’ at APEC 2015 of 20 Heads of State. The Sony cameras were perfect for this job with great low light capability and small size for discretion when working in close proximity to these VVIPs.

Derrick:This is first 4K Pregnant Video using Sony A7R II from our team. https://vimeo.com/147101024

Sebastian: I thought I could at least contribute at least a little:
There are currently some A7R and A7S available in Switzerland for as low as CHF1498.-! -> http://www.fotopro.ch
