This has been a relatively slow year for Sony. With only 2 cameras announced (ZV-E10II and Sony A1II) and 5 lenses (28-70GM, 85GM, 16-50PZII, 16-25G and 25-50G). By comparison in 2023 we got:
Cameras: A9III, A7cR, A7cII, ZV-E1, ZV-1II
Lenses: 300GM, 16-35GMII, 70-200GII, 50GM, 20-70G.
It has happened in the past that Sony has had a weak year, usually followed by a year with numerous camera announcements… so we have high hopes for 2025 and I will soon write an article (and a Youtube video) about what we can expect.
But back to 2024: Petapixel-TV tried to rank the camera/lens releases of 2024 for each company. Sony still managed to score well, mainly because of their great lens releases. They also review the Sony A1II, which they say is a very solid release whose only ‘problem’ is the camera’s high price.
Let me know in the comments section if you agree with the reviews. My task now is to buckle up for the 2025 rumor era. With the Sony A7V and the new FX9 successor coming out very soon, we’re going to have a lot of exciting things to talk about!
