We got word that the new Tamron lens will be “released” by end of April with shipment to start in larger quantity in May. Indeed Amazon updated the 150-600mm lens shipment info to 2-4 weeks. The lens can be preordered at BHphoto too (no shipping date info there).
And this one runs today only: $100 off on the G-RAID mini 1TB Dual-Drive Storage System sold at Bhphoto.
Two anonymous sources hinted about a possible surprising announcement at NAB: A Sony Drone! UPDATE: Two years ago Sony created a new company just for that. Why does it make sense for Sony to join that market?
I can now see the potential for a Sony Drone. But there is also a risk: GoPro failed with their Karma launch and has a huge loss because of that. There is also plenty of good players making drones. So if Sony enters the game they really have to get it right from the start.

Back in October a source told me the FS7II would be announced soon. The rumor was correct. The same source said that there might be a new FS5II at NAB. Well today I got info from another source telling me that this is NOT going to happen. This means the chances to see a new FS5II at NAB is now much less likely then we thought weeks ago.
Reminder: Sony has a press conference scheduled for April 23 at 3 am Las Vegas time (NAB show start).

We heard of three possible Sony announcements:
My guts tell me that June is the more “natural” timing for major FF E-mount announcements unless Sony surprises us on April 20-23. So far we got rumors about:
We know Sony sometimes makes a big press event for literally nothing. So be prepared to be disappointed or to be surprised :)
Now the BIG question for SAR readers:
Loading ...Readers should really follow our RSS feed, follow us on Facebook and Twitter if they don’t want to miss any news about the upcoming Sony announcements!!!
Four years ago a source named “”Y… u… s…”” shared to me the correct QX, RX100II info and the first A7 and A7r hints. Well after four years that source just sent me a message right now to tell me this:
I heard there is a very important announcement around April 20 at London”
So maybe we will get two announcements within 3 days? An E-mount Camera in London (Sony World Photo Award event) and a Camcorder focused release event on April 23 in Las Vegas (NAB).
Message to “Y… u… s…”: Thanks for coming back! And I hope you will grab some details about the London event soon :)
So far we got info about two upcoming announcements from Sony:
1) One on April 23 at the NAB show
2) Another product announcement event around June
Regarding the June announcement: I have no exact date yet. Keep in mind that sometimes Sony shifts products announcements by few weeks in the very last moment. Last year the Zeiss FE 50mm F1.4 was announced on July 11 while the Sony press text contained the June 29 date. So I hope to confirm exact date and the June month in the coming weeks
What to expect?
I still don’t know exactly what new camera and lens will be announced on which event. Of course if there is a new A7sIII it would make sense to announce it on April 23. All we know for sure so far is that Sony registered two new cameras in Asia. One camera is rumored to be a new High Speed Low Megapixel camera (Dual SD card, around 20fps and around 20MP) and one is rumored to be a new RX (maybe RX1III with same 42MP sensor, IBIS, same 3.68MP Leica Q EVF and 4K video???).
