Sony 12-24mm f/2.8 GM

No info yet about the price but I guess it will be $3000+??? The lens is rumored ot be announced tomorrow (July 7) at 15:00 London time.

UPDATE:  I now have been told the lens will be announced tomorrow (July 7) at 15:00 London time!

Note: I previously reported the lens will be announced on Friday but it might be that the source confused the preorder open time with launch time.

Back in February I told you Sony would announce this lens in summer and here it is!

I guess the likely Sony announcement roadmap is this:

1. Sony 12-24mm GM lens maybe to be announced next week?
2. Sony A7sII successor sometimes in late July
3. “mysterious” new kind of Full Frame E-mount camera in late August/early September

Stay tuned folks!

As you know the Panasonic S1H has a cooling vent avoid overheating (image on top). Well I now have been told the Sony A7sII successor will have a new kind of passive cooling system to avoid overheating. I guess it means there will be indeed NO noisy cooling vent. Also…as expected it has UHS-II card support.

Confirmed A7sII successor specs so far:

– world’s highest resolution new 9.44 million dot EVF (QXGA resolution)
– passive (noise free) cooling system
– UHSII card support

I don’t even post this as a rumor because I got a proof (sorry I cannot share here) that this is true :) More over two other reliable sources confirmed it! This makes it officially the first spec we leak about the new Sony As7II successor:

It has the world’s highest resolution new 9.44 million dot EVF!!!

By comparison the new Canon EOS-R5 will have a 5 million EVF “Only”.

I shall get some more info soon!

In a brand new interview release in Japan Sony manager Tanaka once more said the new A7sII successor will “exceed everyone’s expectations“.  I really do hope Sony marketing isn’t pushing this too far. Also because the Canon EOS-R5 has considerably raised the bar. If the A7sII successor won’t be exceptional SAR readers will get very angry on our comment system…and we don’t want that Sony right? :)

Tanaka also said: “In order to make the camera exceed everyone’s expectations, all the people concerned have taken particular care of it“. So it sounds like many engineers worked a long time on this camera.

I am looking forward to it Mr. Tanaka!

Although a bit vague in it’s meaning the one statement that got me most excited yesterday is that the As7III will have “SUPREME” image quality. This suggest it will have a new kind of sensor and performance that beats the rest of the competition.

The question for you is: What do you expect this Supreme Image Quality to be?
