Sony teases the CES show conference

Sony published this special CES page. It has a countdown to tease the press conference which will be video streamed live at 5:00 pm PST on Monday 8th January. All it say is “See our President and CEO, Kaz Hirai, unveil a new generation of Sony innovations

Usually at CES there is no Alpha stuff announcement. But I am not giving up the hope yet. And there is still a Sony registered camera with the code “WW 541200” that has yet NOT be announced. But like I said, this camera might as well be announced in February before the CP+ show start.

Thanks Dan!
