RUMOR: New Sony A7c: yes it has a 24MP sensor and comes with a new compact pancake zoom kit lens

Another trusted source confirmed (and added) the following Sony A7c specs:

1. Fully movable LCD screen
2. Eye tracking in video.
3. 24Mpix matrix
4. Body like A6600
5. New lens included (something like 28-60 4.5-5.6 – Note: source doesn’t remember the exact specs).

I also got more info about this new pancake zoom

This new lens from the set is to have a construction similar to that used in the Nikkor 24-50. So the lens is compact in “resting” form, in order to use it, you have to pull it out with the appropriate button (lock).

Here is the look of the Nikon lens:

RUMOR correction: Seems like the Sony A7c EVF is fixed and not pop-up. Price is 2.100 Euro!

It looks like there was a misunderstanding with a source. He said the A7c has no popup Flash but instead a popup EVF. The corrected himself. Yes there is no pop-up Flash but the EVF is fixed!

And one more new info: The exact price  of the body is 2.100 Euro!

Surprising little A-mount rumor: Sony might announce a new updated A to E-mount adapter?

One single source told me he heard something unexpected. That Sony would release a new LA-EA (A to E-mount) adapter. UPDATE: I have been told more about this adapter:

This adapter doesn’t have mirror (same like LA-EA3) so it works with sensor AF from E-mount body.
However, it also have motor integrated like LA-EA4.
They call it “LA-EA5” and sounds like its natural naming ;-)

The biggest surprise is that this would be the first A-mount related product announcement since 2015 :)

CONFIRMED: The next new Full Frame E-mount compact camera will be named “Sony A7c”

Two solid source confirmed Sony will soon announce a super compact FF E-mount camera and that it will be named “Sony A7c“. The “c” obviously standing for “compact”. This camera will be the first and entry level camera of the new “c” line that will run on parallel to the current A7-A9 cameras. A third source (THANKS!) also told me this:

“pre-launch codes for bodies start CX, lenses start VX.”

So what he says is there will be a new line of cameras and new line of lenses. My guess is the “V” lenses will be very compact for this compact “Sony A7C” camera. Sony’s goal is to make a super compact FF series for vloggers and travelers. The camera having a popup EVF smaller than A7III body size and a new line of compact lenses.

Sony A7c specs:

  • In mid September Sony will announce the new “Sony A7c” entry level Full Frame compact camera
  • similar Sony A7III specs (SAR note: I guess it means same 24MP sensor and same AF performance)
  • It has the same A7sIII fully articulating screen
  • body size of the A6600
  • The camera will be marketed for vloggers and youtubers
  • Battery is NP-FZ100,
  • USB is Type-C.
  • it has a single SD card slot
  • It has both a mic-in and a headphone jack
  • Wi-Fi (11a/b/g/n/ac) and Bluetooth
  • price will be above A7III (slightly above $2,000)
  • New lens line will be announced too: The compact lenses will have the code “V”

RUMOR: New FF camera will be entry level of a new camera line….but price will be above $2,000!

For months I got the rumor saying Sony would announce a new entry level camera. I supposed this would mean it would be priced below the A7III. I was wrong! I am now 100% sure of the info I will share now:

  • YES this is an entry level camera of a “new line of FF E-mount cameras”
  • NO the price will not be below the A7III but higher than the A7III !!!

The new line will define a series of compact and tiny FF E-mount cameras for vloggers, youtubers and travellers. This is a weird strategy from Sony…don’t know why they think this new kind of cameras would have to be priced above the A7III.

All other rumored specs are pretty solid:

  • In mid September Sony will announce a new entry level Full Frame camera (entry level of a new line…price will be above A7III)
  • similar Sony A7III specs (SAR note: I guess sit means same 24MP sensor and same AF performance)
  • It has the same A7sIII fully articulating screen
  • body size of the A6600
  • The camera will be marketed for vloggers and youtubers
  • Battery is NP-FZ100,
  • USB is Type-C.
  • it has a single SD card slot
  • It has both a mic-in and a headphone jack
  • Wi-Fi (11a/b/g/n/ac) and Bluetooth

RUMOR: The new entry level Full Frame E-mount camera will have a completely new kind of naming structure (no A5 or A6)

I got a rumor from a solid source. He said Sony decided to give the new entry level Full Frame E-mount camera a completely new kind of name. I know “A5” or “A6” are not new but they resemble to much the APS-C “A5xxx” and “A6xxx” naming structure. Expect something new like the ZV-1 name that changed the RX100 naming history.
