In a couple of hours Sigma will announce the new 35mm f/1.4 FE lens (see video embedded below). Nokishita reports the planned release date is May 14, 2021. 

I unveiled this info last week:

$899
Compare to Sony GM,At the center of resolution, it is good as Sony GM.
At the corner of resolution,Sony GM is better.
AF speed is slower than Sony GM.
Sigma Art is much lighter and cheaper.
Due to issue of 28-70 Art, Announcement is delayed.
Sigma will start to sell this new lens July or June in this year.

Image on top shows the A6600. The new camera will replace it.

Three reliable sources told me all the same one rumor: End of May Sony will announce a new High End APS-C E-mount camera. It will be the successor of the A6600. I don’t have detailed specs yet but I have been promised I will get them soon ;)

What I also can tell is that the body of the new camera will only have smaller tweaks and changes while the sensor should be really new and one source wasn’t yet sure but he thinks it will have around 30MP.

After six months of hard work inside the intensive care unit I am now fully back on SAR! To celebrate that I will post a 99,999%% accurate rumor about the next Sony E-mount camera. I know what it is, I know when it’s coming….

Ahead of the full rumor publishing on Monday 15:00 London time I will post some tidbits about the new camera on my social networks on Facebook, Instagram and Discord.

P.S.: My private work inside the intensive care unit can be seen on my website andreapizzini.com, on my Instagram channel, Flickr and 500px. Feel free to follow me there!

P.P.S.: I know it’s annoying to make a teaser for a rumor and you are free to express your frustration in the comment system ;)

Here you see the new Sigma 35mm f/1.4 FE lens (on the right) next to the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 EF mount version. The lens will be announced on April 27.

CineD published their full Sony A1 review along the mini-doc video I embedded at the bottom. Their conclusions is:

The Alpha 1 is the best all-round flagship mirrorless camera ever produced by Sony. Yes, it comes with a price, but it can easily replace two separate camera bodies. So in the end, it can makes perfect (purchasing) sense to content creators, who are equally dedicating time to take photos and videos. (And the proof is in the pudding as we are being told by our site sponsors that “within a week of it’s announcement, there were as many preorders for the A1 as for the a7S III). I’m sure you guys can agree, that Sony made an amazing leap from being a company who manufacturer “just another camera that can shoot videos and high quality photos” to one of the leaders in this field. Merging the Alpha team together with Sony’s professional division is certainly starting to show its footprint and us, the users, can only benefit from it.

This is the first leaked image of the new Sigma 35mm f/1.4 FE lens that will be announced on April 27. It will cost $899 which is $500 cheaper than the Sony 35mm GM. Another source previously told us this about the new lens:

Compare to Sony GM,At the center of resolution, it is good as Sony GM.
At the corner of resolution,Sony GM is better.
AF speed is slower than Sony GM.
Sigma Art is much lighter and cheaper.
Due to issue of 28-70 Art, Announcement is delayed.
Sigma will start to sell this new lens July or June in this year.

Thanks J.!!!!

The new Sony 35mm GM is still not in Stock but it will already get a new competition soon. Sigma is about to announce their new 35mm f/1.4 DG DN lens and a source told us this about the new lens:

Compare to Sony GM,At the center of resolution, it is good as Sony GM.
At the corner of resolution,Sony GM is better.
AF speed is slower than Sony GM.
Sigma Art is much lighter and cheaper.
Due to issue of 28-70 Art, Announcement is delayed.
Sigma will start to sell this new lens July or June in this year.

I wonder what the price will be… I guess around $899. Would you buy it instead of the Sony at that price?

UPDATE: A first time source claims to know this about the new Sigma:

$899
640g
And it will be announced on April 27.
