There is now some chatter that Sony will unveil “something” this week (Correction: announcement in 2-3 weeks!). I am now sure we will not get a new A7 or A9 camera but rather something else.

Let’s speculate: This could be a new E-mount camcorder, E-mount lens or E-mount accessory (LAE adapter?). Or maybe a major firmware update? Or what else could it be?

Tamron keeps patenting designs for Full Frame mirrorless system cameras (aka Sony FE). Egami spotted a new 60mm f/2.8 FE lens design patent. The recent months Tamron published five FE lens designs:
28mm f/2.8
28-70mm f/3.5-5.6
28-320mm f/3.5-6.3
50mm f/2.8
60mm f/2.8

It’s not clear if Tamron planes to introduce these lenses with their own name or if they will sell the design to Sony or Zeiss.

Kazuo Hirai, president and CEO of Sony Corporation, will deliver the Media Mastermind Keynote at MIPCOM, on Monday October 17, in the Grand Auditorium at 11.30am. It’s not about a new product launch!

Reminder: This week Sony will have an announcement. But I am almost sure now it’s nto abotu a new A7 or A9 camera but rather about something else E-mount (camcorder?).

UPDATE: The announcement will take place in 2-3 weeks and not this week as reported earlier.
I don’t think we are going to see a new A7 or A9 camera. There are many hints that this might be for “something different”. This is one the of thints I received. A source contaced a close Sony friend:

I told him I have feeling it’s not going to be lenses or a series cameras but it’s going to be Fs camcorder like fs7ii or fs5ii. And he said I am very close. So based on him it’s going to be Camcorder

On of our trusted sources said this announcement is about E-mount. Speculation: Could this be a new FF E-mount camcorder? A sort of A7sII on steroids? :)
