On Sony’s press release for the Creative Cloud app you can read the following line:

Creators’ App will be compatible with Alpha 7 IV, ZV-1F. Spring 2023: FX3, FX30. Alpha7 IV, Alpha 7R V, FX3, FX30 will need software update.

Probably a confirmation the A7IV firmware update is coming soon?

Sony Electronics has announced the next generation of its Creators’ Cloud platform, opening a host of new cloud-based applications and features designed for individual content creators and small content teams.

The Creators’ Cloud platform includes Ci Media Cloud for collaborative media workflows, and Discover, a platform to discover and connect with peers. The Creators’ Cloud platform, aimed at independent professionals, will soon include Creators’ App, a content transfer application from camera to cloud.

Creators’ App will be the successor of Imaging Edge Mobile Plus​ and will act as an extension of a camera to upload, view, and manage photo and video content shot on select Sony cameras and stored in the cloud. Sony offers 5GB of cloud storage free for any Creators’ Cloud account user, and 25GB for owners of select Sony cameras.

VERIFIED RUMORS:

Back in January I got word that Sony would announce a Vlogger focused ZV FF camera. I really assumed this was a fixed lens model but I was wrong! Trusted sources now confirmed this is an E-mount camera.  More reliable info: It will definitely be announced in late March and the price will be below $3,000!

I hope to get some VERIFIED specs soon!

UNVERIFIED RUMORS:

As of now I can only share this UNVERIFIED specs from a two new sources. So it might be wrong. But for the sake of discussion let me know what you would think about this:

• New ZV FF E-mount camera is based on the Sony As7III
• Name might be ZV-E100
• 12MP sensor
• 4k60 & 4k 120 (no crop)
• No EVF
• Cheaper than the A7sIII (now over 3000 dollars/Euro)

So this seems to be something like a baby A7sIII for Vloggers. What do you think about this? Personally I don’t care much about it but apparently the vlogger market is booming and Sony has to fill the niche!

More RUMORS to come:

In this video I share some more tidbits and a hin about another rumor I will post tomorrow:

Sony has announced the digital camera “DSC-HX99 RNV kit” that uses laser retinal projection technology that makes it easy for people with low vision (amblyopia) to see images on conventional viewfinders and monitors.

Gogole translated text from Digicameinfo:

• On February 21, Sony announced that it will sell a limited number of the digital camera kit “DSC-HX99 RNV kit” that combines a laser retina projection type viewfinder that is not easily affected by the focusing ability of the eyes with its own digital camera. The price was reduced to 109,800 yen by Sony bearing some of the costs.
• It is combined with the viewfinder “RETISSA NEOVIEWER” that applies QD Laser’s laser retinal projection technology and the Cyber-shot series “DSC-HX99”.
• Laser retinal projection technology is a mechanism that reflects the weak light of RGB lasers emitted by an ultra-compact projector on MEMS mirrors (microscopic mirrors that vibrate at high speed) and projects images directly onto the retina. It is characterized by being able to see images regardless of the condition of the anterior eye, making it easier for people with low vision, who had difficulty seeing images with conventional viewfinders and monitors, to take photos and videos.
• “Laser retinal projection is a completely new technology that has been put to practical use ahead of the rest of the world. We hope that this product will enable people with low vision to enjoy taking pictures, expand their range of activities, and discover new worlds.” President Mitsuru Sugawara)
