Back in May I told you that Sony delayed all the announcement roadmap by up to 2 months. So the 85mm f/1.4 GM II that was scheduled for a late June announcement would come later. I now got 100% solid confirmation that Sony plan an announcement by end of August! I don’t have yet 100% certainty on the products to be announced but I believe:

• 99% chance we are getting the Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM II
• 80% chance we might be getting the Sony FX9 successor
• 20% chance we are getting the 24-70mm f/2.0 GM

The 24-70mm f/2.0 GM is more likely to be announced in September and the first Alpha Full Frame camera should be coming in September/October. 

One more thing: TWO trusted sources now confirmed there is no Sony A7V coming in late 2024.

I have already told you that my reliable sources seem to indicate that the A7V will be on the market only in 2025. They have not yet shared any possible specifications. All I am getting are specifications from other new or anonymous sources. Here I share one of them, but of course keep in mind that it could be completely wrong. That said, let me know if a camera like this might be of interest to you:

• Alpha 7 Mark V is a 36 megapixels camera with a comparatively slight low-pass filter. The actual resolution of the photos is significantly higher than the Alpha 7 Mark VI.
• It features Generation II suite of BIONZ XR Processor x AI Processing Unit which supported fast 120fps AE/AF, dynamic attitude- and rate-based object tracking on a slow BSI sensor.
• The screen performance is great, with drastically improved brightness, contrast, and color gamut.
• But the 10fps burst shooting is a little behind all the competition.
• The excessive yet insufficient UHD8K resolution causes it to record only oversampled 4K video. And full-frame 4K/60p video requires a 1.2x crop.

Like I told you, not an info from my trusted sources and I am highly skeptical about those specs…
