A saw that readers spotted a Russian Store (Fotosklad.ru) listing the Sony A7000. Those specs are likely to not be true. So don’t take it too seriously.
All I heard os far about the new High End APS-C E-mount camera is that it will ship in February-March.

As you know on January 5 Sony will have a livestreaming to announce new products. I am trying to figure out what’s coming but so far I only heard about new smartphones, camcorders and actioncameras.
Actioncameras are the most sold kind of cameras and therefore very important for Sony. We Alpha users probably couldn’t care less…But some of the new actioncamera tech may will find his way in Alpha or RX cameras too.
So far I have been told there will be two new actioncameras: AS50 and FDRX2000.
I got this from an anonymous source about the FDRX2000:
It will be the best action cam on the market. The improvements are mainly a better sensor with improved frame rates and low light capabilities
And those AS50 specs and image from a trusted source:
-Same as usually Zeiss lens
-XAVC-S 50mbps codec
-FullHd recording 60p
-New menu with icons (much easier and faster to navigiate)
-Waterproof up to 60m with included case
-Batery compartement is similar to the one in az1, but as50 works with same battery as as20
-Bluetooth (to power on camera with the remote)
-Electronic zoom
-There will be new remote rm-lvr3 but will not be sold with as50 and will be released later in 2016
So what can we hope to get in 2016 by Sony?
Here is the possible list of cameras:
A6000 successor (95% chance to get this for real)
High End Sony A9 camera (75% chance to get this for real)
A99 successor (75% chance to get this for real)
A5100 successor (60% chance to get this for real)
RX100IV successor (60% chance to get this for real)
Here is the possible list of lenses:
Wide angle Zeiss Batis (99% chance to get this for real)
FE telephoto zoom lens (95% chance to get this for real)
Loxia tele lens (80% chance to get this for real)
FE 24-70mm f/2.8 (80% chance to get this for real)
FE 85mm f/1.4 (80% chance to get this for real)
FE 50mm f/1.4 (60% chance to get this for real)
Of course there will be also some stuff we have no clue about yet. Let’s hope Sony will surprise us all!
And now the poll:
Loading ... Loading ...
Today I got a rumor about the upcoming A-mount stuff:
“Spoke with the head of Sony camera sales in “xxx” (Editor’s note: country name removed). He said 2016 is going to be a great year for A-mount and that it’s certainly not dead. E-mount won’t replace (and kill) it since there are things you can do with the longer flange distance in A mount that you can’t with E mount… Other than that I couldn’t get anything out of him….. Very tight lipped ;-)”
Would be a great start if by CES or CP+ we would finally get the A99II !
Reminder: Today Gold Box deal on the Sony A99 at Amazon Germany.
Olympus is “rumored” to use the new Sony 20 Megapixel MFT sensor on the PEN-F that will be launched in January/February.
Source: 43rumors.
Short update to the new A68 US release: A source told me the camera will ship in April in USA. As mentioned previously camera preorders will start on March 1 at BHphoto (Click here).
On January 5th Sony will livestream their CES product announcement. You can follow it live here on SAR. And what can we expect to get?
Our sources confirmed there will be a new Action Camera and new Handycameras. They also confirmed Sony is ready to launch a new A99 successor but it’s unconfirmed if that’s coming at CES or a month later at CP+.
But today I got the full AS50 action camera specs. So here they are:
-Same as usually Zeiss lens
-XAVC-S 50mbps codec
-FullHd recording 60p
-New menu with icons (much easier and faster to navigiate)
-Waterproof up to 60m with included case
-Batery compartement is similar to the one in az1, but as50 works with same batery as as20
-Bluetooth (to power on camera with the remote)
-Electronic zoom
-There will be new remote rm-lvr3 but will not be sold with as50 and will be relised later in 2016
