Info on future new the Sony cameras trio: Sony A7III, A7sIII and A5300

Share

The big CP+ show will start on March 1. And there are three Sony cameras due for an update:

  1. Sony A5100.
    Sony discontinued the A5000 and this might be a good sign the new A5300 could be announced soon. Or will Sony’s futur APS-C line just be made of A6xxx cameras?
  2. Sony A7II.
    The A7III is definitely coming in 2018. But we can’t be sure yet if it’s coming at Cp+ already. It will have 24MP, nearly same A9 autofocus system and use the new Sony battery
  3. Sony A7sII.
    The Sony A7sIII will not be announced at CP+. Expect it to see it coming at the NAB show in April.

Fact: Sony registered a new camera code in late 2017. This means at least one camera will be announced soon!

iPhone X failing sales may hurt Sony’s sensor business

Share

Today you may read about Apple cutting 50% of the production of the iPhone X. This could affect Sony’s business too. Bloomberg reports:

The Tokyo-based company’s image sensor business is likely to weaken amid slowing momentum for Apple Inc.’s iPhones, an analyst at JPMorgan Chase & Co. wrote as he downgraded the company to neutral from overweight. IPhone X production will probably fall 50 percent quarter over quarter and the weakness is likely to continue for the first half of the year as demand for high-end smartphones plateaus, according to J.J. Park. Sony shares fell as much as 5.2 percent by midday in Tokyo.

Still, Sony is still doing well:

Despite a correction in Apple supply chain names, Sony has massively outperformed its global peers thanks to the structural trend of dual-cam
