On Vimeo you can find those pictures of a FS5II. It really looks like the original FS5 with some minor cosmetic color changes and the FS5II logo on it. I am not sure these images are from the real camera!
Anyway, we will soon know the answer: The camera will be announced soon at 3pm Las Vegas time. Stay tuned on SonyAlphaRumors.com to see the video live stream!
On Sunday at 3pm Las Vegas time (23:00 in London) Sony will have their NABshow products announcement. You can follow the video live stream here on SonyAlphaRumors.com.
That said, what can we hope to get?
60% chance: Sony FS-5II E-mount camcorder
The chances are increasing Sony will introduce the new FS-5II E-mount camcorder. No specs have been rumored so far but this camera is long due for a release
30% chance: Sony A7sIII
NABshow would be the perfect place for the Sony A7sIII announcement but so far we did not get any reliable info that it will be announced on Sunday. All we know are some specs shared by trusted sources: New kind o sensor with integrated memory, 4k60fps, and same kind of A7III body improvements.
Lenses:
Top sources confirmed the 24mm f/1.4 GM lens will be announced soon. But this lens might be presented at one of the two upcoming shows (Worldphoto or Kando Trip) in April-May.
Paul Antico spotted an interesting detail: Atomos now claims that it officially support the Sony FS-5II. Could be a hint that on Sunday at 3pm Las Vegas time Sony will announce the new E-mount camcorder!

There is a small chance Sony will announce the new A7sIII. There is also a new 24mm f/1.4 GM that will be announced soon. But this lens might be announced in a next event (Kando trip?) in May-June only.
Note: For 3 hours we reported the wrong hour. We now corrected it :)
It’s completely uncertain if Sony will show the new A7sIII at the NABshow

The following rumor is from the same source whom shared the correct 100mm STF lens rumor. He told me this:
α7sⅢ will have new stacked image sensor with integral memory and will have High ISO sensitivity and improved AF.
I know this doesn’t tell us anything useful yet. I hope to get some solid specs soon.

Just some fun: The First April A7sIII specs from Filmmakers.pro:
Tokina 20mm f/2.0 FE autofocus lens listed here at BHphoto.
Nokishita reports that preorders for the new Tokina lens will be open from April 6.
At first I thought this would be an April’s Fools Joke. But you can really preorder this book at Amazon Germany! And if that would be a joke they would have to reimburse all those who ordered the book. And if this isn’t a joke and just a guess from the authors they would get in trouble too: Just imagine people buying this book as a guide for the future A7sIII and then it turns out the real A7sIII works not as the book says it should. And at last: the book is from serious company and from serious writers.
So honestly, this is a bit confusing…and if it’s a joke it’s a seriously good one.
