You can follow  the video livestream of  the Sony  APS-C E-mount cameras and lens announcement on alphauniverse.com/live/. They blocked the possibility to embed the video directly  on SAR so you have to go on their site to see it. But stay on SAR for live comments and the big news and test roundup post!

Just a new Sony A6200 rendering with 3.2 inch touchscreen

On Weibo someone imagined the new Sony A6200 having a new 3.2 inch touchscreen. I don’t think Sony will put a larger screen and improve the touchscreen operation. Not going to happen…sadly :(

What we know so far is this:
Sony has a product launch  event on August 29/30
It’s rumored that they will announce  two new APS-C E-mount cameras
Those cameras could be the new A6200 (low specs A6400 version) and  the new A6700 (has IBIS).
A third (A7sIII?) camera will be announced on a new soon to follow press event…
