Got a couple of feedbacks from trusted source about the next CES (January 6) and CP+ (February 12) events. They do confirm new camcorder(s) are going to be announced at CES in Las Vegas while new Cameras and Lenses will be announced at CP+ show in Yokohama.

While I am yet not sure which camera will be announced at CP+ (A7000 or A9 or both?) the FE lenses that Sony will release are known. The rumored price info is (source SAR article with VBL):
– 28mm f/2.0 G should cost 499 Euro (February shipment)
– 35mm f/1.4 Zeiss should cost 1399 Euro (March shipment)
– 90mm f/2.8 G macro should cost 999 Euro (March shipment)
– 24-240mm f/3.5-6.4 should cost 1099 Euro (March shipment)
– both converters should cost 229 Euro each (March shipment)

Take the price info as a SR3 rumor only. Click on the image to see a full size version:

UPDATED: Sony will announce a new camcorder before the start of the CES show in las Vegas (January 6-9). I have yet no (SR5 ranked) info about that camera but I am 100% sure it’s not the rumored A7000 or A9 camera! Those cameras (one or both of them we don’t know) are more likely to be introduced in early February at the CP+ show in Japan.

Message to anonymous sources who sent me info the last 3-4 days: Please can you tell me what camera is going to be announced when? Use the anonymous box below to send info…Thanks :)

First price info for the Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 lens?

The Dutch Store DeWinkel (found via DL) listed the first price info for the new Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 lens. The US price still has not been unveiled at BHphoto (it’s listed with no preorder option). If the price info from the Dutch Store is real that’s quite cheaper than the 2.089 Euro you have to pay for the 16-35mm Zeiss A-mount lens at Sony Germany.

(SR4) Trusted source: There is a new High End APS-C E-mount camera to come in (early?) 2015.

At last a trusted source confirmed that Sony should launch a new High End APS-C E-mount camera in 2015. The source didn’t share specs but he said the camera is definitely placed above the current A6000. This very much sounds like the long-awaited NEX-7 successor. There is yet no exact timing for the release but the source said the camera was pretty much final when he saw it.

–

Months ago an anonymous source shared that A7000 info but please take that part of the rumor with a huge grain of salt:

2015 will see the release of the a7000. It will include a new version of the 16-50 powerzoom dubbed version II with much improved quality. The camera itself will feature full tethering capabilities, 4k video (uncompressed output), 1/8000 shutter speed, weather sealing, and maintain its rangefinder style. Above all this, a new 16-70 zeiss will be released that will be weather sealed as well. The 16-50 will not be weather sealed.
The sensor will be a new one, but still 24 mpx.

You will save plenty of $$$ on the Gold box deal running today on the 256 GigaByte(!) PNY SD card sold at Amazon (Click here). Only issue using such cards is the big F…! you will express if the card dies with tons of pictures on it! So good to hear there is a Gold Box also on the smaller 64GB card (Click here).
