Sony like Canon and Nikon will not release any new major camera at the CP+ show. Sony particularly has always preferred to get the full spotlight outside of such events. Therefore the real star of the CP+ will be this Fuji X100VI. A long time classic refreshed with new sensor and other nice tidbits. We will have to wait til March/April to get our first Sony camera….the ZV-E10II.
