RUMOR: Sony ZV1II will feature a newly designed 18-50mm lens!
On May 23 Sony will announce a new vlogger camera. Trusted sources now confirmed the following info:
- The camera is the ZV1II (ZV1 successor)
- It will feature a newly designed 18-50mm lens (compared to the ZV1 24-70mm lens)
- It will have a plethora of AI features
- It will be expensive with a price close to 1000 Dollars/Euro
UPDATE: I corrected this post after learning it actually has a 18-50mm and not 18-70mm lens.
I got no other specs yet but I suspect the new AI features and new lens are the main major changes. All the rest should be minor improvements (better AF, better IQ and so forth).
