Again Sony A7xx to be shown at NAB. New entry level cameras without video to come after NAB

Share

We have a small rumor update for you. We had the chance to talk again with our sources and to verify our old rumors. The new Sony A2xx and A3xx will come few weeks after NAB (the NAB takes place on 10 April) and not have video recording. At NAB you will see the A7xx but the camera will not be ready for market release:(
As we already told you there will be a major Sony announcement in May. Sony will launch the two new entry-level cameras, the firmare update and the new mirrorless cameras.

Dear readers,
I take the chance to wish you happy easter! Hope you will enjoy some rest with the people you love.
Thanks again for the help you are giving me to make this site become better and better. Your help really matters!

I have two good news to give you:
1) I am working together with 43rumors friends to redesign the website and create a new SonyAlphaRumors community
2) As I always told you this is a new website and I am still learning to manage the rumors I get. But I can guarantee you that the next two months will be full of much better rumors and Sony will definitely release some awesome new products before June!

Enjoy your easter-time!
