Once again, I’d like to emphasize that Sony really missed out on this momentum. Kudos to Fujifilm for taking the risk of making a fixed lens medium format camera. I’m not sure how well this camera will sell: It lacks IBIS, it has a slow lens (28mm f/3.1 full-frame equivalent), and it’s larger than comparable full-frame fixed-lens cameras like the Sony RX1rII.
I still think that the improvement in image quality of this ‘small’ medium format sensor over full-frame is hardly noticeable in practice. That’s why I hope that when Sony enter the medium format sector, they use the much larger 53x40mm sensor instead:

However, the real highlight of this year for Sony would be the release of a new RX1 camera with an improved menu, battery life and autofocus. It has the same form factor, even the same Zeiss lens and a 61 MP sensor inside. I think that would be a real big seller, don’t you?

On March 26 Sony will announce the new Venice Extension System Mini. One of our readers (Thanks!) shared this insight on the camera:
Sony has announced that it will release a scaled-down VENICE expansion module on March 26, 2025, designed to deliver next-generation visual content in an ultra-compact form factor. The VENICE Extension System Mini (model CBK-3621XS) has a built-in 8.6K full-frame CMOS sensor that retains the image quality of VENICE 2, but is approximately 70% smaller than the VENICE Extension System 2 (image block volume ratio). Flexibility is built into every corner of the compact design. A slim, soft, detachable cable brings greater freedom to filmmaking, while also opening up XR content creation and stitching shooting.

The PL mount adapter supports more lens selection and metadata recording. Assignable buttons and numerous mounting holes allow photographers to mount and shoot to their preferences. This compact system is ideal for handheld, gimbal, and POV shooting.
That’s all we can expect from this announcement. The next interesting announcement from Sony should come soon with the release of a new lens!
