There is yet no price info about the new FX6 E-mount camcorder. A UK store listed it for 4,999 pounds. Not sure if it’s a place holder or the real final price…

Image on top shows the current two fast wide angle primes: 20mm f/1.8 G and 24mm f/1.4 GM (via CameraSize).

A trusted sources gave me the info about a new Sony GM lens. If the rumor turns out to be true this will be the world’s fastest 16mm FF lens ever made: The new Sony 16mm f/1.8 GM will be announced in early 2021.

The currently widest fast FF lens from Sony is the 20mm f/1.8 G and the widest f/1.8 is the Sigma 14mm f/1.8 FE. I have been told it has about the same size and build quality of the 24mm f/1.4 GM.

I don’t know the price yet but I am sure it’s going to be rather expensive. Landscape and Astro photographers are going to like this lens a lot. Now here is a question for SAR readers:

Let’s go crazy with this rumors I got that have high BS possibilities :)

About those rumors: I have no idea who sent them and 90% of the times they turn out to be wrong. But, it happened in the past that a couple of those were right. So I will post them today, and we all together can eventually keep track of this. If one of the sources turns out to be right than we will know we can trust it a bit more!

Source 1 (A7IV):

I have rumors according to the a7iv from my trusted salesman at Sony which says, the camera will have a 48 MP sensor and will be available for Christmas 2021.

Source 2 (RX1 successor):

They are working on a full frame bridge camera with zoom also on a zeiss  hologon type camera with a 11 mm wide angle lens  two technician said so they work in the Sony dream works

Source 3 (FE lenses):

FE 24-105mm f/2.8 GM will release after FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM.

Source 4 (FE lenses):

Sony will release SEL300F28GM, SEL50F12GM, SEL200F28G this year.

Source 5 (RX10V):

RX10V, released in FY’20 Q4 to FY’21 Q1. It features Bionz XR and new 20 megapixels 1.0-type stacked CMOS image sensor, AF/AE calculations still up to 60 times/s. But the dynamic range extended and supported 14bit uncompressed RAW. And Full-Res 5K Oversampling 4K/60p 10bit 4:2:2 Video in XAVC HS / XAVC S / XAVC SI Mode.

Source 6 (A9r):

Sony a9R: FY21’Q1;
48 Megapixels Special CFA Stacked Sensor.
Internal 96 Megapixels output without Pixel Shift Multi Shooting.
Full green channel resolution’s 24MP 20fps HQ Mode for sport-shooting user.
The oversampled 8K video support HLG curve only.

Two sources told me Tamron will launch a new 17-70mm F/2.8-4.5 Di III RXD lens. The original release time was November/December but due the Covid-19 production reduction (article here) the lens release is now scheduled for early 2021.

This lens should be quite a bit cheaper than the current Zeiss 16-70mm f/4.0 lens. I hoe the size will be a bit smaller too…

As you know last week Sony registered a new camera code in Asia: “WW638397”. I told you before that both the A7IV and the new A9III will be announced in 2021 only so this code cannot be for a new E-mount camera.

Today Nokishita confirmed that the “WW638397” code may be for the FX6 camcorder.

The rumored Sony product launch timeline: We will get one new FE lens in October/November, two new GM primes in early 2021 and a new A9III camera in early 2021

This comes via reliable sources:

• Sony will announce one new FE lens in October/November
• The rumored two super fast FE primes will be on market in early 2021 at earliest.

I may get some more info about all those three lenses soon…stay tuned on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and chat with me live on Discord to not miss any rumors!

UPDATE: About future Sony cameras:

• No new E-mount camera will be announced in October/November
• Sony recently registered a new camera but this may be a new RX model because registration was made in China first (suggesting it’s a low end model).
