Time for a recap before we post some new rumors: Sony A7000: One source heard the camera might be announced before Christmas. But so far I got no confirmation from other sources and no new Sony camera has yet been registered in Asia neither.
An anonymous source sent us this first image of the new 7Artisans 60mm f/2. 8 macro APS-C E-mount lens. There is no info on the pricing and availability date yet. Just recently 7Artisans launched the 35mm f/1.
The current Sony 100-400 GM vs the Tamron 100-400mm EF lens (CameraSize). A source told me this: I got some info that Tamron should release native 100-400/5-6. 3 mid next year. Would be nice to get a cheaper alternative of the Sony 100-400mm GM lens! The post (SR3) First rumors about a new Tamron 100-400/5-6.
Well I just found a brand newly published Sony patent describing a foldable drone camera. And it’s quite innovative as you will see: The image below shows you the Drone folded: You then detach the cover part which is actually a full touchscreen remote device! The touchscreen device is used to fly the drone: And […] The post This patent shows the first images of the new Sony Drone camera! appeared first on sonyalpharumors.
One trusted source gave us a posisble timeline of the next Sony announcement. He heard the new Sony High End APS-C camera will be announced within weeks. It’s unclear yet if that means it’s coming at PhotoPlus next week or if it will be announced sometimes in November.
While I am confident the High End APS-C camera rumor is correct I still got no reliable confirmation about the possible announcement day. All I know is that this is the next camera Sony is likely to announce.
Zeiss claims the Otus line is the best lenses you can have on the market. And we will soon get a new addition with this new 100mm f/1. 4. The first images have been leaked via Nokishita. There is yet no info about pricing and official release date.
Nokishita made a recap of all cameras that have been registered in Asia and that yet have to be announced. There are two Sony compact camera models named WX700 and WX800. We noticed that latel Sony registered Higher End cameras only few days before the launch.
From trusted sources we know there is still one major announcement coming soon. Today one good source told me that he got unofficial rumors about a Sony evtn on or around October 16. Still, I rate this rumor with 50% reliability for now because I will need further confirmation.
UPDATE: Trusted sources told us this screenshot showing the A7000 specs and that’s going around the web is FAKE. – From trusted sources we know a new High End APS-C camera and new lenses (plural!) will be announced soon.
Image on top is just a mockup I made that should give you the idea of how this could look Two reliable sources confirmed that Sony is ready to launch a new High End APS-C E-mount Camera.

Cinema5D interviewed Sony Senior Manager Yutaka Iwatsuki. And there are two important take aways about the future Sony A7sIII: 1) Mr. Yutaka said that “for time frame, it may require longer than you probably imagine” 2) This long waiting time is necessary because Sony wants to “go beyond the customers expectations” 3) 8K is not […] The post Sony says it will take time to see the A7sIII but it will go beyond the customers expectations! appeared first on sonyalpharumors.
There is one more thing at Photokina: Tomorrow (Sept 27) Zeiss will announce a new Full Frame fixed lens camera with 35mm lens and a new Batis 40mm CF. I have been told the event starts at 18:30 Berlin time and we can expect press release to be official at 19:00 or max 19:30.
In a few hours at 10am Berlin time Sony will have a one hour press conference at Photokina. I hope I can find a livestream to embed here on SAR. So what will happen in that one hour? Well, I have been told to not expect anything, but I would be glad to be proven […] The post Sony press event at 10am Berlin time! appeared first on sonyalpharumors.
Sony regsitered a new WX800 compact camera in Korea. It’s unlcear what improvements we can expect over the current WX500 model. Note that Sony recently also has registered a new WX700 code.
The web is a crazy thing. There is now a picture showing a Sony camera at the Ayumi Hamasaki “Just the beginning” tour. And some people believes this is the new A7sIII. UPDATE: I am only posting this to be clear that I dthis is NOT the A7sIII.
Well this is a kind of news that really is unexpected! L-rumors reports that Leica-Panasonic-Sigma created a new partnership to develop Full Frame cameras and lenses around the current Leica SL mount.
Next Tuesday at 10am Berlin time Sony will have a one hour press conference. The same trusted sources that correctly gave us the 24mm GM lens rumors confirmed that we shouldn’t expect any new product announcement (camera or lens).
Sigma 56mm f/1. 4 DC APS-C E-mount lens Here you have the leaked specs of the upcoming five new Sigma lenses. And we have some bad news. The zooms will NOT be available for E-mount right from the start.

Leaked image of the new Sony 24mm f/1. 4 GM We got the very solid confirmation that tomorrow (Sept 20) at around 15:00 London time Sony will announce the new 24mm f/1. 4 GM lens only! The crazy story: They paid for the journalists flight ticket, 2-3 days stay in a hotel…for just ONE LENS.
Logo for the Sony CI cloud for filmmakers. Something similar might be coming for photographers too? I just got this weird rumor saying that Sony will announce something “cloud based”.
Sony did launch a special Photokina page (Click here to see it). They will have an official Press conference on September 25 at 10am Berlin time. But the new 24mm f/1. 4 FE GM lens will be announced tomorrow on September 20.
Wow! Sigma is coming big! Note that the images don’t show the E-mount version yet (except for the 56mm f/1. 4). But this is what they will announce for Photokina: Sigma 28mm f/1. 4 (should be available as E-mount version too).
The final specs and pricing of the new Voigtlander Color Skopar 21mm f/3.5 E-mount lens will be announced tomorrow (Sept 19). via Nokishita The post Color Skopar 21mm f/3.5 E-mount lens will be released tomorrow appeared first on sonyalpharumors.
A readers spotted this image of a 24mm f/1. 4 GM lens from one of the journalists present at the Sony event. Looks like it’s the real thing! This lens should be announced between today and Sept 20.
If you believe what’s reported on Korean forums like Clien. net and SLRclub things will start to get very interesting soon. Samsung is rumored to have partnered with Fuji and Ricoh-Pentax to deliver them new APS-C and FF sensors.
We got an update on the new Sony E-mount Lens announcement. Today and Tomorrow Sony will have a E-mount lens hands-on meeting with journalist (see bealpha event on Instagram). But the official Lens announcement should be a bit later on Thursday September 20.
And the big Sony week finally arrived! We can confirm Sony has a major press conference on Thursday September 20. SAR note: We updated the rumor. While journalists are invited to test the lenses on Tuesday Sept 18 the lens news will go out on Thursday 20.
A new source contacted me to tell me an interesting new rumor. I couldn’t confirm or deny this info with other sources and I therefore ranked it SR1 only (10% chance this is right). The source said: Two months ago Sony-folks told me that they will wait for Canon and Nikon’s announcement before to decide […] The post (SR1) First wild rumors about a new entry level Sony FF E-mount camera priced at $1,500 appeared first on sonyalpharumors.
You can watch the Sony IBC livestream here: https://pro. sony/en_TH/event-ibc. Like I told you before it’s extremely unlikely that Sony will announce some E-mount stuff. The key announcements will happen between Sept 18 and Sept 27 when Sony has two conferences and Zeiss also another one.
Just a reminder for those who have missed to read the past rumors on SAR. This is the 90% reliable recap of what’s coming next from Sony and Zeiss: Sony announcement on Sept 14 at 9. 30am CET time.
Zeiss will have a major announcement on September 27. And that’s when they will show us the new Full Frame fixed lens camera and the new Batis 40mm f/2. 0 CF FE lens. Nokishita spilled out some additional info on the lens: “ZEISS Batis 2/40 CF” announced soon will weigh 361 g.
A source (Thanks) sent us this leaked image and specs of the new Profoto B10. It will work on Sony cameras too! The B10 will be announced tomorrow. The post Leaked: This is the new Profoto B10 for Sony appeared first on sonyalpharumors.
There is an exciting time ahead and first let me recap what’s SR5 so far (SR5 means 90% chance the rumor is correct): Sony announcement on Sept 14 will give us a new camcorder. And there is only 10% chance to see the A7sIII Sony announcement around September 18 (could be +/- 1 day).
A correction and a confirmation on the two upcoming Zeiss events: Correction: It seems like the rumor about the Batis 40mm f/2.0 launch on Sept 10 is inaccurate. I hope to be able to give you the new date soon but it may be a matter of a few days delay only Confirmation: As […] The post A correction and a confirmation on Zeiss Batis and FF camera launch appeared first on sonyalpharumors.
Trusted sources confirmed the September 18 event (+/- 1 day depending on time zone). They also confirmed Sony will announce new E-mount lenses. They have NO info yet about new camera announcements.
The image on tops shows the new Sigma 28mm T1. 5 FF, 40mm T1. 5 FF and 105mm T1. 5 FF Cine lenses. The image shows the Canon EF mount version but they will also be available as native E-mount version.
Canon and Nikon you had your time of glory. Now Sony is smelling blood… In a surprise move YESTERDAY Sony communicated to the Photokina team that they decided at the very last moment to have a press conference on September 25 at 10am Berlin time.
Canon and Nikon managers reactions the moment they realized Sony is now going to announce their next E-mount camera soon ;) After all that Canon and Nikon buzz we can now confirm Sony is 100% ready to make their move.
Nokishita spotted a new Sony WX700 camera registration. No info yet about the possible updates over the current WX500 camera. But expect the new WX700 to be announced very soon. The post (SR5) Sony will soon announce the new WX700 compact camera appeared first on sonyalpharumors.
Sony confirmed it will have a live press conference at 9. 30am CET on Friday 14. Trusted sources told us Sony will announce a new PRO camcorder. They have no info yet about a possible E-mount announcement.
A SAR reader asked IRIX if they will release native e-mount lenses anytime soon, they replied: “Dear XXX, Thank you for contacting us. We plan to release lenses equipped with Sony E’s native mount in the near future.
Just a fictive rendering of a new High End APS-C camera One of the few testers of the new APS-C High End E-mount camera told me this: this is a whole new camera Of course he cannot share more details but this sounds like we will get a completely new body design too.
This is the bad news: I got informed that Sony has NO(!) scheduled press conference at this years Photokina. I don’t know if there will be a last minute change on this. But Sony has not occupied any press conference “slot” available at Photokina.
One of our trusted sources confirmed the Zeiss camera teaser is a real deal. The camera will be announced in the midst of the ongoing Photokina show on September 27. Smart move to avoid all the press buzz that will go one before the Photokina show.
The full Canon EOS-R specification sheet has been leaked (PDF file here). And here are some Canon PRO points versus Sony: 1) 5,655 Autofocus points (693 for the A7III): I am actually not sure if that’s a typo in their spec sheet.
Sony A7sIII: Two very reliable sources told me that Sony has zero need to rush the A7sIII launch. A7III is still selling hot and the A7sII has no competitor yet. That’s why they didn’t launch the A7sIII yet.
