Sony is set to announce new RX, A7 and A6000 cameras series between now and June.

Just to keep you up to date: Today Sony has a press event and so far the only certain news is that they will show two cameras and that there will be no A-mount cameras. And another press event for E-mount is scheduled for May. So what we can expect today at around 14:00 London time is:

1) Sony just introduces the two 30x compact cameras in Europe (X90V and the WX500).
2) Sony announces new RX cameras.
3) Sony announces some other surprise too.

So far I am almost certain the new A7rII and A6100 cameras will be announced in 2-3 weeks around mid May. I guess either option 1 or 2 will happen today. Option 1 would be really a joke but hey…it’s Sony :)

I know you are all happy because of the great Zeiss announcement (full press here on SAR). But do not forget that within a few hours (April 23 at 13.00 London time) Sony will announce new cameras!

UPDATE: This was a BOGUS announcement. Sony used the press event to ontroduce the two 30x cameras :(

If true it really looks like Sony engineers could win a Nobel Prize in Miniaturization technology :)
A trusted source told me that the RX100m4 with much larger Four Thirds sensor manages to have the same weight of the RX100m3. And the size is just a tiny bit larger. The camera will remain perfectly pocketable.

It’s still unconfirmed if the camera will be announced tomorrow (April 23) or in May (with the new E-mount cam announcement).

I am 100% sure tomorrow at 13.00 London time Sony will announce new cameras! So stay tuned on SAR to get live coverage about the new cameras!

It’s now the third source within weeks that tells me this. Zeiss has a huge surprise for the FE system. They are going to launch a new autofocus lens line system for the FE mount! This is the latest message I got:

New Zeiss Batis lenses will be announced today. This is a new line for FF E-Mount. Like the Touits for APS-C.  2/25 and 1,8/85 will be available in summer 2015.

UPDATE: Zeiss is rumored to announce those lenses at 11.00 Berlin time. Stay tuned on SAR!!!!!

AND STAY tuned all day and remember that tomorrow (April12) at 12-13.00 London time there will be a BIG Sony announcement!

Zeiss posted a teaser of a new lens on their Facebook page. It’s a new “smooth” lens for mirrorless system cameras. UPDATE: Zeiss said they would launch a wide angle Loxia later this year. So I am not sure this is the wide angle lens he is holding. And I also don’t think it’s a Touit lens.
And the past weeks I already got a quite surprising rumor about a complete new line of lenses. Give me some time to check it out!

A trusted source got news from Sony saying that they will display two new cameras on Thursday April 23. No E-mount. And if the Sony roadmap is still valid also no A-mount cameras. So this has to be the new RX stuff. RX100m4 and/or RX1X or maybe something else not “rumored” yet? I certainly would love to get a medium format Sony camera and you? I know, my dreams sometimes go too far…

Sony has a scheduled press briefing on Thursday April 23. And Wikileaks hinted that new RX and A7 and A6xxx cameras would be announced within April and June. So far this is what we can hope to get soon:

To be announced on April 23?
– RX1-X camera (specs unclear but likely a FF camera with 35mm f/1.8 Zeiss lens).
– RX100m4 (20MP Four Thirds sensor camera with 4K recording)

To be announced in May?
– A7rII (36Mp, 5 axis and same A7II body improvements)
– A6xxx (24MP APS-C sensor and 3 or 5 axis stabilization).

P.S.: A-mount news (camera and lenses) will follow in August/September?

By the way. Also the Sony Canada marketing roadmap seems to confirm there will be new cameras. Their RX (late April) and Alpha (mid May) campaign would match those announcements.
