On July 10 Sony will announce the new ZV-E10II and the new Sony E 16-50mm F/3.5-5.6 OSS II. The New 85mm f/1.4 GM II is coming very soon too but I don’t have confirmation on the announcement date. Here are the specs for the new gear:

Sony ZV-E10II

• 26MP sensor (same of the A6700 and FX30)
• larger grip to accommodate the NP-FZ100 battery
• no EVF
• no mechanical shutter
• no AI chip (Human and Animal AF recognition still included)
• no IBIS
• active stabilization (with 1.5x crop)
• 4k 10bit 4.2.2
• 5.6k oversampling
• LUT support
• Same Audio mic of the ZV-E1
• Price slightly above $1000

Sony E 16-50mm F/3.5-5.6 OSS II lens

• lighter
• new polished look
• can now track while zooming

And a Weibo account also shared some additional data which I don’t know if they are just an abvisous good guess (because the ZV-E10II has same A6700 sensor the specs are obviously about the same). This is what they write:

• 26MP back-illuminated sensor
• BIONZ XR processor
• 4K120p, Full HD240p, 10bit 4:2:2
• Continuous shooting at 11fps
• 759-point phase-detection AF covering 93% of the screen
• S-Log3, S-Gamut3, S-Cinetone
• User LUTs
• Built-in microphone + input terminal
• USB streaming
• 1MP 3-inch touch panel
• Price: about 5,800 RMB (about 128,000 yen)
• It is speculated that the APS-C motorized zoom will also be renewed and announced at the same time.

Asobinet spotted a newly published Tamron patent that discloses the specs and design of a new 50-200mm f/2.8 Full Frame lens. It’s a kind of lens that I really hope will come on the market. Why? Because usually these standard zoom types start at 70mm at the wide end. The 50mm adds a lot of flexibility. What do you think of this one?
