As you know Zeiss removed the teasers for their camera launch. Some people were worried this means Zeiss will not announce this camera. But a reliable source told me this:
Some press in China have already received an official notification from Zeiss about the new product, so I expect it to come very soon.
A source just sent me this:
a7siii to be announced at IBC 2018 on Sept. 14
UPDATE: I had to downgrade the rumor after getting new information: A highly trusted source and another new source told me Sony will definitely announce a new PRO camcorder on September 14. But although they know the A7sIII is ready to go they cannot confirm yet it will be announced on September 14. For both sources it seems unlikely the A7sIII is coming :(
Sorry for the disappointment folks, but the trusted source stressed to say the A7sIII is definitely ready to be announced. And Sony has two more press events scheduled after the 14 September (one for Photokina and one for Photolus). Still, we cannot exclude the A7sIII might be announced on Sept 14. So let’s hope the trusted source didn’t know about it :)
What about the possible Sony A7sIII specs?
Very likely:
– New 5.6 million dot EVF
– 4k60p
– 10 bit 4:2:2 external (not internal!)
– new color science
– dual SD card slot, Z-battery, chunkier gripUnconfirmed:
– New 24 Megapixel Quad pixel sensor
One more thing:
Back in March a new source sent me a rumor I didn’t post because it did sound to good to be true. But fact is that the a part of the rumor he sent me related to the RX100M6 rumor proved to be correct. I still think this rumor isn’t correct and he may only had a lucky guess. But anyway, I figured I should now post it with the warning to take this with a grain of salt ok?
A6800 aps c camera and rx100 mark 6.rx to be released first around may juin.
A7s iii coming later this year around october november with new G master prime lens. the camera will record:
5k 24 fps.4k 60 fps.1080p 180 fps.10 bit 4:2:2 via hdmi out.+ new log profile slog 4.
Sounds good so far. What do you think?

Zeiss removed their two camera teased from their official Weixin account. I repeat that this is the OFFICIAL Zeiss account so it’s quite strange they are doing that.
I hope this camera doesn’t “disappear” like their 40mmf /2.0 Batis leaked we leaked nearly 2 months ago!
A trusted source just sent us this leaked images of the new DSC-HX95/DSC-HX99 compact cameras that Sony will announce on August 30 at 13:00 Berlin time.
Known specs:
These will be the only camera announced tomorrow by Sony. So do not expect a new A7sIII or A6xxx yet. But don’t worry folks, we already have been told a new Sony announcement is coming very soon and this should be for E-mount only!
The Sony countdown for the compact camera announcement
We told it to you yesterday and today Nokishita confirmed it: Tomorrow Sony will only announce two new fixed lens compact cameras, the DSC-HX 95 and the DSC-HX 99. Here are the specs:
The full German press text can be downloaded here. The good news is that our sources were spot on and it means A7sIII and A6xxx (or A7xxx) rumors are likely to be true too!
Here is a bit of a timeline of when to expect the new Sony gear:
Tomorrow:
Tomorrow Sony will only announce some 4k compact cameras
Before Photokina:
(SR3) Sony A7sIII with 4k60p, 10bit 4:2:2, 5.6 million dot EVF
(SR4) 24mm f/1.4 GM
(SR3) 135mm f/1.8 GM
(SR4) Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 FE lens
(SR4) Sigma 50mm f/1.4 APS-C E-mount lens
(SR3) Zeiss fixed lens camera?
(SR4) Zeiss 40mm Batis
Before Photoplus (could be earlier too):
(SR4) New “mini-A9” High End APS-C E-mount camera. Not a direct A6500 successor but a new line! 4k60p and 20fps.
(SR3) New APS-C E-mount lens.
Sony just launched this countdown teaser for a press conference they will have tomorrow at 1:00PM CET. Our sources told us that Sony could announce two 4k compact cameras only.
Stay tuned anyway! I will embed the live stream here on SAR. Just know that it’s too early to expect some new Alpha gear tomorrow. But I promise you folks, you will only have to wait a couple of weeks to get some exciting stuff ;)
