(SR5) Confirmed by Sony China: New RX camera coming within 24 hours!

Sony China wrote this message on Weibo: “which RX camera do you expect?”. This confirms a new RX camera will be announced within 24 hours. When the 35F1.8 and A7R4 were announced they posted the same kind of teaser 24 hours before the official launch!

UPDATE: This time Sony China was well ahead of the announcement. It will take 72 hours instead of the usual 24hours and then we will get the new RX100VII.

(SR0) 99% chance this is a fake new Sony Evil S E-mount 8K camera :)

Important: I got this image from an anonymous source. So it could (and should) be completely bullshit. So stop to read here if you only care about more “realistic” rumors.

Still, even if this has a 99% chance to be a fake let’s discuss the features :)

The camera appears to a Sony A7sII successor in form of a new RX camera. The camera seems to have a fully articulating screen too. And here are the “leaked” specs:

But like I said, please threat this rumor with a grain of salt and with a 99% chance it’s wrong. If anyone knows who made this drop me a message!

Sony manager reassures: We are working to give you 4k60p and 10bit 4:2:2 on a Sony Alpha camera!
