Today Sony officially registered a new camera in China. It has the code “WW293541” and 5.1GHz/2.4GHz wireless network & Bluetooth support. I am 100% sure this is for the new ZV-E10II. Which means announcement will happen within the next 2-3 months!

Today is Monday and tomorrow (March 26) at 13:00 Berlin time we will get the new Sigma 50mm f/1.2 E-mount lens. It will be the lightest Full Frame autofocus f/1.2 lens ever made. And maybe after that Sony will also announce the new A1/A7sIII firmware update on March 27 (or ma March 28). this is still an unconfirmed rumor but I still see a fair chance this might happen. There are also announcement from the competition. Nikon will announce the new 28-400mm f/4.0-8.0 lens on March 28 and I also heard about a possible announcement from another manufacturer (no details on this yet).
After this week I wills hare the next bunch of rumors regarding Sony’s mid April announcement! And there is much more to come from Sigma before summer starts…stay tuned ;)
Sigma 50mm f/1.2 lens specs:
There is more and more “chatter” about a possible firmware update going to be released on March 27 or max March 28. I am still not 100% sure but there seems to be a Sony event for this coming week. Fingers crossed the long wait is soon going to be over!
So far I got NO reliable rumor about the possible release date of the upcoming A7sIII and A1 firmware update. All we know is that Sony said they would launch it from “March 2024 or later”.
The latest super wild rumor I got in my inbox is this one:
I have informations by my Sony dealer that the a1 firmware update will be Launched on March 28th
Fingers crossed this rumor turns out to be real…but like I told you…it’s a wild rumor :(
I just got a message through the anonymous contact box. The only way to contact the spruce back is to write this post.
First of all Thank You for sharing the info! I will now try to double check the info you sent me. Hopefully we are finally REALLY there! Two more questions:
1) You know the camera names for this?
2) Any evidence you can share?
Three sources now confirmed Sony will have a product announcement event around April 16/17 (depending on your timezone). So far I only got confirmation about one specific product that will be announced on that day.
To be announced on April 16/17
Rumored to be announced within the next 2-3 months:
I would find it odd if Sony would only announce the 16-25mm G…so I hope at leas one more product of this list will be announced on that very same day. If I could choose I would want that 24-70mm f/2.0 to be announced first :)
I know that the first half of the year is not that exciting regarding the Sony announcements. But like I told major new camera announcement will be coming the second half of 2024! Don’t worry ;)
I am now 100% sure that Sony will have a new product announcement event in April. I am working to get a final confirmation on the date and product(s) announced. But for sure you should NOT expect to get a new A7sIV or A1II…
The most exciting thing we can hope for is to get the 24-70mm f/2.0…but I am not sure this lens is coming yet or before summer.

Competition rumor: As reported on Nikoneye.com on March 26/27 (depending on your time zone) Nikon will announce the new 28-400mm f/4.0-8.0 Z lens!
