Sony CES press conference on January 6 at 5:00 pm PST time

Sony will have a CES press conference on January 6 at 5:00 pm PST time. I do not expect any new Alpha gear on that event. But you never now…and I will embed the video livestream just to be sure we don’t miss anything.

My guess is that we will see a new A7IV camera at the CP+ show in Japan. And probably the A7sIII at NABshow in April.
