Two new Nikon Z patents spotted by MirrorlessRumors do show what  could be coming as next  from Nikon:

Nikon Z9 could have a built-in grip for better heat dissipation  when  recording pro quality video and faster frame rate. It would compete against the Sony A9

Nikon Z5  with APS-C sensor and with out the EVF. It would compete against the Sony A6700

UPDATE: Answer to a troll competition site :)

Some  composition website claimed these images are from him and that  I watermarked them afterwards.  Two proofs this is not the  case:

1) He posted 10 images and I posted 12 images. So where the heck did I copy the two more images if he didn’t post them? Example image he did not post is here.

2) The second proof is that my source posted these images 11 days before his post!  Here is the screenshot of the source. I will  not  share the link as he might stop posting  if companies will find it out and contact him!

Oh yes  and the source is legit because they  have a famous track on patents and REAL image leaks. I gave  the link to the source  to some of our long time trusted commenters so that they can be testimony that the source is SUPER real ;)

Gosh, I probably wasted 30 minutes of my  life answering a troll  :)

We know for a fact that Sony registered a new camera model with 5,8 GHz Wifi capability. This suggest Sony will announce a new High End Model this summer. We don’t know yet if this is the new A9II or A7sIII or A6700 (A7000).

An interesting tidbits is the fact that BHphoto is spending money to capture the “Sony A7sIII” search term in the USA. The site redirects you to this empty BHphoto page.

Thanks Rob Satrom Owner of Feedbackwrench for sharing this!

A new source told me this:

Sony will be releasing a successor to the FS7 camera with a 6k full frame sensor and dual-base ISO this December, the current prototype’s name is the FX9. Announcement is coming in mid September.

Let’s see if this becomes true…

I got word that there is a major press event on August 29/30. We will get at least two new APS-C E-mount cameras. I have no infoo about lenses yet and no info about the third camera that is rumored to be announced in September/October.

I hope to get some info about the two new APS-C E-mount cameras soon…if you have any info please send me an anonymous message using this contact form (Click here). Thanks!

I got this rumor from a first time source. So there is no way yet to tell if there is anything solid behind this rumor. But let’s hear what he has to say:

SONY will release a new 4K ENG Camera w/ Global Shutter and Video Codec at 2019-08-21

Not many here care about camcorders but having a Global Shutter sensor is quite a big deal! Also Sony is rumored to use a new Codec which might be used by the future A7sIII too.

You remember that in beginning of July I did post this rumor about the conflicting info I got about the new APS-C E-mount camera. You will see “Source 2” was spot on when he said a new High End Camera (not APS-C) and RX camera would be announced in July.

That very same source now told me this:

Sony will announce two new APS-C E-mount cameras in late August

And today a second source confirmed it:

Two APS-C E-mount cameras to be announced soon. The A6500 is EOL (End of life).

This rumors is ranked with SR4 which means there is a good 70% chance it’s correct.

So far I got no camera specs…but this is indeed a big surprise from Sony. Wouldn’t have expected to get two APS-C cameras at once!

The two APS-C cameras:

1) I expect the A6500 successor to be a sort of “cheaper” A9 version. I am not sure yet about the following info I got but someone told me the A6500 successor will more or less have the same A6500 design with a bigger grip to fit the new Sony NP-FZ100 battery.

2) I have no info about the second APS-C camera. My dream would be to finally get something that is very different. Not an A5100 successor but a more robust Fuji X-T3 alike camera. But rationally I know I will be disappointed :)

One more thing:
I heard about another announcement in September/October and there will be a third new Full Frame camera coming!

Also Sony China confirmed in this interview that a new A7s camera is in development. Sony already did say in the past that the A7sIII “will exceed expectations” their customers with features that are unexpected…

If what I am receiving is true this fall we should finally have the new A7sIII in our hands. And the main reason of the delays seems to be the fact that the A7sIII will use a new Sony codec which is still in final testing.
