About two months ago I got hints that Sony would not announce any new camera at Photokina (with the exception of the 4K E-mount camcorder coming on Friday). But I really hoped that my sources would be wrong and that Sony simply kept the new camera(s) hidden in secret. But my sources are good and my hope proved to be misplaced. I am now 100% sure there will be no other new camera after the recent A5100 and QX1 launch and the soon to be announced 4K E-mount camcorder. To be honest it’s not like the competition is doing any better. Companies like Canon/Nikon/Fuji/Olympus will only unveil camera reiterations and no real innovative stuff.

Here are in detail the info I got from highly trusted sources:
1) No new A or E-mount camera at Photokina. There will be new A and E-mount lenses only.
2) Sony “revised” the strategy for late 2014. They decided to avoid the release of small upgraded cameras (A99II?).
3) Sony’s goal is to focus on strong impact releases. Products with “WOW” factor.

And now the big 100% reliable rumor:

(SR5) Sony is preparing a BIG event in January! They will release a complete new generation of cameras with a new generation sensor. Cameras have those two features:
1) Very high resolution and dynamic range. One of them is a 46 megapixel FF sensor.
2) Very fast AF speed

I know it’s strange they did not announce those at Photokina. But that it is. I Thank All trusted sources for the info they shared the last couple of weeks. I hope you sources can help me to feed SAR readers with some reliable rumor about the next generation cameras coming in January!

A couple of notes: January announcement is 100% correct as it really got confirmed by highly trusted sources. So trust me on this :)

I posted many QX and lens rumors lately and little about cameras. The reason why I did so is because the last weeks I got plenty of “unexpected” rumors from sources saying that Sony is literally “skipping” Photokina and planning to release their big A and E-mount cameras some time AFTER Photokina.

The last weeks plenty of sources shared more and more hints about that “big” event. And now I can finally tell you with 100% reliability that this is exactly what’s going to happen. Sony will announce “minor” stuff at Photokina like the QX, new A and E-mount lenses, E-mount 4K and maybe maybe a new A99II and RX camera…but I am not sure about that yet.

What is really hot is that Sony decided to release the big stuff 3-4 months after Photkina. I am now working to get details about those new cameras. I am sure there is a brand new sensor in use in those cameras capable of shooting in very high resolution!

But before that I hope that Sony will at least launch the A99II at Photokina….

Sorry readers: That’s a message for a source who just shared another info anonymously. And this is the only way he can read me. Message for him:

Thanks for the QX30 and the last new rumor. Short question. Can you “investigate” about” the next camera launch coming in 3-4 months. I have been told it’s very BIG.  And if you wnat you can contact me directly with a fake gmail account at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com. Thanks!!!!

An anonymous source told me Sony will announce a 90mm macro FE lens at Photokina. Asking now my sources if they can confirm this or not. Thanks!

P.S.: According to Sony’s roadmap that kind of lens is really coming. Hope the fast (85mm 1.4?) prime is going to be announced too!

You may have noticed that I posted many lens and QX rumors and little about cameras. But I actually did (and  I am still doing) a lot of “behind the scene” camera rumor work! The reason why I have been quiet the last weeks is because I got major news with some surprises and I wanted to spill out the rumors only when I was sure about the rumors I got. I am now very close to get some final answers and I ask you just a bit of patience.

All I can tell for now is that Photokina is not the place for these “BIG” Sony surprises. But I have damn good news: You will not have to wait a long time after Photokina either…

Message to all sources: Thanks for all the rumors you sent me the last weeks about Sony cameras, prototypes and long-term strategy. I will post your rumors as soon as I have double checked them with my trusted sources :)
