On June 26 Sony will have a press conference Like I told you before I am yet not sure if this means the public announcement will be made on the same day or if the press will have to sign a NDA agreement. But I  have been assured the A7sII successor and the 12-24mm GM lens will be presented to the press on this day.

I still got no reliable specs about the A7sII successor. All I am receiving is wild rumors from unknown sources. And all we know for sure is that this camera will at least have 4k120p, 10bit 4:2:2, similar A9II AF performance.

So let’s go on with speculations:
If the camera indeed has no 8K recording that it might use that new Sony 15.36MP sensor:

Here are some more speculations:

In summary: We can only speculate this camera to be oriented for professionals videographers. Unlike the Canon EOS_R5 it might not have 8K. But for pros this doesn’t matter at all. All they want is top notch 4k performance. Of course, from a pure “bla bla bla” marketing point Canon will get the credit to have made the first 8K FF compact mirrorless camera.

A source told me this:

Sony A7sII successor and 12-24mm f/2.8 GM will be presented to the press and store managers on June 26th.

IMPORTANT: It’s yet not clear if on June 26 the Sony A7sII successor will also be officially presented to the general public or if there will be a short period of NDA agreement for the press and store managers. Usually Sony does make the new camera info public disclosure on the same day. But I got no information yet if that’s the case again with the A7sII successor. I still got no specs but Sony told us that it will have at least 4k120p, 10bit 4:2:2 and similar A9II AF performance.

One more thing: The source didn’t get any info yet about that second Full Frame camera that was recently registered in China and USA. It may be that this camera will be announced a couple of weeks later as I reported previously.

Here are the specs of the new Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS lens for Sony E-mount:
