The Oracle rumors: Guys, after two weeks of intense stress, I’m back to 100% on SAR. In my next posts, I’ll publish some reliable rumors, but today I want to give you two “cryptic” messages from my most reliable sources: From mid-2026 to 2027, Sony is expected to launch a major offensive.
How2Fly confirmed that Sony is expected to soon launch the new 16-28mm f/2. 0 GM lens. This will be the world’s fastest wide angle zoom lens! This will be finalize the f/2. 0 zoom trinity that includes the Sony 28-70mm f/2.

Let’s get into the details: This is the world’s highest resolution 33mp partially stacked sensor! The Nikon Z6III and Panasonic Lumix S1II both use a Sony-made 24MP partially stacked sensor.
It’s late night and I am totally exhausted. Right before jumping into my bed a THIRD source confirmed it: Sony A7V has a new 33MP sensor! Now I have zero doubts left, and I’ll share detailed info within 24 hours.
The past horse I got some additional info: Now I am 100% certain the Sony A7V will be announced in very early December (Dec 5?) 100% confirmed the sensor is 33MP (unclear if same or updated version of the Sony A7IV sensor) Improved EVF (unclear about resolution) I got two more leaked images (see below)… The post 100% Confirmed: Sony A7V Launching Early December with 33MP Sensor and New Leaked Images! first appeared on sonyalpharumors.
Viltrox has done an Ask me anything on Reddit. And when asked about the development of zoom lenses this is what they said: About the zoom lens, we’re actively working on it. About the macro lenses, there won’t be any in the near future.
I finally got confirmations form sources (Thanks!) that Sony is going to have a BIG announcement between mid November and early December. Don’t have the exact date yet! But my guess is that we will get this stuff: Sony A7V Sony 100-400mm GMII (?)

Funny how history works — after more than a decade, we’re suddenly getting not one, but two 200mm f/2. 0 FE lenses! Just last week, I leaked the specs and first image of the new Venus Optics 200mm f/2.
Trusted sources (Thanks!) just told us Sigma will have a new press event on August 19. And this is what we are likely to get: 200mm f/2. 0 Full Frame “Sports” lens for Sony E and Leica L 35mm f/1.
What you see here on top is the size comparison between the “old” Sigma 35mm f/1.2 and the new version that will be announced soon.

I can now confirm that Sony will be announcing a new E-mount camera on 21 May. Like I told you before, it will not be a new Sony A7IV successor that is coming. There are rumors that this camera has a new tilting EVF design similar to the GX9.
First a correction: The next Sigma lens will be a 200mm f/2. 0 and not f/1. 8 as previously rumored. Now two trusted sources have confirmed that we will get a 200mm f/2. 0 SPORT FE and L-mount lens before the summer.
A new Sony camera registration was spotted in China yesterday. We now have a total of two Sony cameras to be announced within a few months: WW934774 (registered April 21) manufactured in China. This is highly likely to be a new FX or Cine camera.

One of my sources believes that Sigma might announce a new Sigma 200mm f/1. 8 Full Frame lens for Sony E and Leica L cameras! This would be the first time we get a modern version of the almost 40 year old Canon 200mm f/1.
Recently I reported to you that Sony has decided to postpone the launch of the Sony A7V, even though my sources told me that this camera is ready and in production. Sony executives also said that they are behind on production of the Sony A1II because demand is much higher than expected.
I have two new info for you! The Schneider Kreuznach 14-24mm f/2. 8 FE lens will be priced at around $1100. That’s about $300 lens than this FE lens. Schneider Kreuznach also displayed a lockup for another standard zoom lens.

Sources confirmed that Sony has scheduled a press event for February 26 at around 3-4pm London time. So far I am sure they will announce two new lenses: Sony 400-800mm f/6. 3-8. 0 G Sony 16mm f/1.
Image on top shows the “old” Sigma 800mm f/5. 6 lens According to a Weibo source, Sigma will be presenting two new lenses at CP+. One is a zoom lens and one is a fixed focal length lens.
A source (thank you!) has sent me the first pictures of the new Sony 400-800mm f/6. 3-8. 0 lens in FULL SIZE. It really does look almost like a copy of the current Sony 200-600mm G lens. I was told that the 400-800mm is a little bit bigger and heavier than the 200-600mm.
A source (thank you!) sent me this first leaked image of the new Sony 400-800mm f/6. 3-8. 0 G lens. The image proves that the rumors about Sony announcing two new lenses ahead of the CP+ show were correct: 16mm f/1.

Guys, it’s time to share my opinion on Sony’s possible camera roadmap for 2025. Some things I’m sure about, some things I’m skeptical about, and some things I’m very skeptical about.
The CEO of Sigma, Kazuto Yamaki, shared his personal insights about the company and the photography industry as a whole.
