New Sony ZV1II specs and a rumor correction: Features 18-50mm and not 18-70mm lens

Small correction on my previous ZV1II spec list. The new ZV1II will have a new 18-50mm and not 18-70mm lens as previously reported. I misinterpreted a message I got from my trusted source. So this mistake is on me!

But I also got some additional info about the camera that will be announced tomorrow:

  • The camera is the ZV1II (ZV1 successor)
  • Same 20MP sensor of the ZV1
  • It will feature a newly designed 18-50mm f/1.8-4.0 lens (compared to the ZV1 24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 lens)
  • cinematic vlog
  • animal eye AF
  • looks nearly the same as the current ZV1
  • It will be expensive with a price close to 1000 Dollars/Euro

Japanese Grand Prix award: The Sony A7rV Camera of the Year

The 2023 camera of the year award did go to the Sony A7rV for the following reason:

The latest generation of the “R” series, which enables high-definition shooting even among Sony’s α7 series, adopts a class-leading effective 61 million-pixel CMOS sensor. It has received praise for significantly improving basic performance, such as autofocus performance and color reproduction, through the newly introduced “AI processing unit” and enhancing the image stabilization mechanism, making it easier to demonstrate the potential of a high-resolution camera in a wide range of shooting scenes. Additionally, comments have been received that the adoption of a 4-axis multi-angle LCD monitor that supports both tilt and vari-angle on the back of the camera has presented a new standard that meets the requirements of both still images and videos.
