At minute 4.25 of that Zeiss interview from Abel Cine they confirm they will launch a wide angle Loxia later this year. We can expect that wide angle lens to be based on one of the current ZM lenses listed below.

Thanks Stanly for spotting the news!

The store Genustech is already showing the new Mitakon/Zyoptics 85mm f/1.2 lens. And it says it will come for Sony E-mount too but I think that’s a typo because Zyoptics said it’s A-mount.

Reminder: Mitakon-Zyoptics already make a long list of Sony E-mount lenses. You can find them on [shoplink 35366 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink] and BHphoto (Click here).

[shoplink 35425 ebay]LX100[/shoplink] vs RX100m3 by Camerasize.

One trusted source heard from his “Sony sources” that they are “field testing” a new RX camera. It’s  a little bit bigger RX100m3 alike camera with larger sensor. The sensor size is said to be similar to the one used by the [shoplink 35425 ebay]Panasonic LX100 (images on eBay)[/shoplink]. But the camera is a bit more compact than the LX100. And just like it happened with the A6000 successor also the new RX100 large sensor camera “won’t release just yet, due to heat issues with the updated BIONZ X“.

UPDATE: Just lately Sony listed two new Four Thirds sized sensors with 16MP and 20MP. One of them could be used by the new RX100m4 camera:

I got word via Australian Stores that the A6000 is officially discontinued. It means they cannot order new Stock of A6000 cameras. Last week I reported how the camera successor release got delayed because of heating issues. I hope Sony fixed that and the camera will be announced soon anlong the A7rII.

Mitakon said it will soon launch a new Hyperprime lens for Canon, Nikon, Sony A, Pentax SLR users. They didn’t share any specs yet but this is very likely going to be a new 85mm f/1.2 Full Frame lens!

A source told me that Sony is testing a High Resolution mode that works just like on the Olympus E-M5II. The sensor takes multiple shots in slightly different positions moved by the stabilization system and then combines time in one High Res Picture. The source told me he saw it creating 48.9 MP images on the fly. Of course that features works fine when shooting still objects. The source doesn’t know yet if the tested feature will work as hoped by Sony. If yes than it could be introduced in a future firmware upgrade. If you want to check out how good the Olympus solution works check out the test at Imaging Resource.

A trusted source got word from Sony a new E-mount camera will certainly be announced around mid May. And it’s said to ship in June. It’s yet not 100% confirmed but that should be the new A7rII. To sum up the recent rumors:

1) On April 12 Sony will announced the HDC4300 high end camcorder (info here on SAR). There will be no new E or A-mount cameras.
2) On April 23 Sony will announce RX or A-mount cameras (or both). No new E-mount camera will be announced. I am yet not sure what Sony will announce but the “best candidates” are the RX2 and A99II followed by the A58, RX20 and RX100m4. Also likely to be announced are the new HX60 and WX350 successors.
3) Mid May Sony will announce new E-mount camera(s). The A7rII is likely to come while it’s yet unclear if Sony will announced the new A6xxx/A7xxx camera because there was a delay because of some 4K recording heating issues.
