Sony A7rIV will ship in the USA from Sept 12 at BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon.

CanonWatch reports about a new high-resolution EOS-R camera:

the upcoming EOS R will have a resolution “way beyond the Sony a7R IV“.

There are wild guesses that Sony launched the A7rIV earlier than expected because they knew Canon would launch a new High Resolution EOS-R camera in September/October. This is a wild guess but I know that Sony had rushed the launch of the previous A7rIII after Nikon had launched the D850.

two Sony cameras still have to be announced soon (via Nokishita)

Sony’s new strategy is to announce a single product every 1-2 weeks. in June we got the 600mm and 200-600m lenses. Two weeks ago we got the 35mm f/1.8 FE. Last week the A7rVII and this week the RX100VII. And we know there is more to come!

Within the next weeks we shall see two more Sony camera announcements. This because Sony had registered two camera codes of yet to be announced cameras. Both cameras will not be High End E-mount cameras. As they don’t have the 5GHZ Wifi as the A7rIV does. I am pretty sure both the A9II and A7sIII would have fast Wifi. Told you many times before that the A9II and A7sIII are scheduled for a fall announcement at best.

What to expect?
I heard from one source that one of the new cameras should be the RX10V. If the sources is right we have one more entry-level camera to get. Could be a new APS-C E-mount camera or another Cybershot/RX model.

I have no info about new lens announcements so far…
