New Year brings us the first new fake rumors too :)
An anonymous source sent us this picture of the A6 with the following message:
“Sony A6 to replace A6500. 2018.”
And than there is this pure speculative rumor about the A6700 posted by Fotografia.it (via Dpreview forum).
The design will follow that of the A6500, but with a new 24 Mpxl APS-C sensor, and a processor that will solve the problem of overheating.
The new mirrorless will offer a wide 16-stop dynamic range and a 15-fps burst rate with 16-bit Raw file saving.
Improvements will affect the autofocus system and video, with the 4K format at 60 fps
The current A6500 has great problems of autonomy with 310 viewfinder shots; logical therefore expect improvements on the front of battery life.
The announcement could be given in the second half of 2018.
These are the expected characteristics:
Better AF, like accuracy and sensitivity
1 / 8000s shutter
Faster gust
Flash sync 1 / 250s
Improved electronic shutter
A better stabilizer
Two memory card slots, with UHS-II support
Raw processing in the car
Double exposure
Wi-Fi connectivity
Greater speed in startup, and greater reactivity
Adjustable touchscreen monitor
Just my two cent: First of all I don’t think this A6 kind of designed camera would make sense at all. The A6xxx series should keep the current form factor whcih is just fine! And call me crazy, but I think the A6700 will have a new Higher resolution sensor. This ebcause I alreayd heard about some new Sony APS-C sensor with close to 30+ MP sensor…
