Reminder: Sony will have a CES press conference on January 6 at 5:00 pm PST time. I will try to embed the livestream on SAR. I do not expect any new Alpha gear.

But there is a good chance Zeiss might give us the final specs and pricing info about the new ZX1. About time we get this camera for real :)

One European store shortly listed the new Tamron 70-180mm FE lens with a price tag of 1,149 Euro. Not sure if this is the legit final price. If this indeed is the price it’s about half of what the 70-200mm GM lens costs!

Thanks Scott

It’s just a placeholder for now but it seems the FX6 will be released soon.The FX6 is rumored to  have the same FX9 sensor and be released in very early  2020. Unlike the FX9 the FX6 records on SDXC and resolution is around 5.7K (6k for FX9). FX6 will also use XAVC-L codec only.

Just to be clear: Yesterday I made a big shit in realizing to late that the pictures I got from unkown sources were faked A7sIII images. With the exception of one photo from another source that I don’t know if it’s legit :(

Feeling bad for this and it was incompetent from my side. So deep apologies for that.

On a positive note: I know some of you think the A7sIII might never come. But Sony assured multiple times the camera is coming and that it will “exceed expectations”. And after yesterdays big fail from my side a highly trusted source told me to not worry, the A7sIII is coming during the first half of 2020. And that source I definitely trust as he was right many times.

Again, sorry for yesterday, I was a blinded IDIOT :(

UPDATE: I edited this post and corrected the mistake I made after your suggestion. Feeling an IDIOT for having posted wrongly flipped images :(

Here is the photo I got of a Sony covered camera used just recently by a world known youtuber. The youtuber told him he is testing a new model but I don’t know if:

1) that’s true at all
2) what model this might be

So take this as a “non useful” image. We need more to see what it really is:

SPECS SPECULATION:

This next part is purely speculative: Back in July I posted the full IMX521 sensor specs. This is a 15MP sensor with Quad Array structure. It might be good for the A7sIII but this is purely speculative as of now! Here is the full spec sheet:

But like I said, the new A7sIII sensor might be completely different and use a Higher Resolution (24MP?) sensor…

Additional note: The previously posted A7sIII images were fakes and I removed them after you made me notice them. Thanks and I feel bad for this :(

Sony registered a new camera in Asia. It has the code “WW119533” and 2,4GHx Wifi. Th Wifi capabilities suggest this is NOT a High End model. Maybe a new RX camera? RX10V?

By the way rumors saying the IMX521 sensor data got leaked today are quite off as we reported about that sensor back in July :) I have no clue if this is the sensor that will be used by the A7sIII. Anyway key specs are:

UPDATE: SAR reader helped me to find out this is a FAKE image. Sorry, I made a huge IDIOTIC mistake to not see that for myself!
