Sony A7s should have same body design as A7 (image on top shows current A7).

Over a month ago I got a rumor about a new Sony FE camera. I was pretty sure it wouldn’t come any time soon but I proved to be wrong! Within a couple of hours I got confirmation via five(!) trusted sources that Sony worked on a very secret kept project. And this brand new camera will be unveiled on Sunday (April 6) in Las Vegas!!!!!!!!!!! I will embedd the live stream on SAR!

UPDATE: A7s will be unveiled live at 2pm in Las Vegas (on Sunday). You cna follow the live video stream on SAR!!! This is the time in other time zones:
– 5pm New York time on Sunday April 6
– 10pm (22:00) London time on Sunday April 6
– 11pm (23:00) Berlin time on Sunday April 6
– 6am (06:00) Tokyo time on Monday April 7

I am continually working to try to grab some specs. All I can tell you for now is that the camera name is “A7s“. It’s not a Silver A7 as some suggested :) And it will not replace the A7 or A7r. It’s a brand new Full Frame Emount camera. Only few know about it and that’s why it is hard to get specs. So please be patient and follow SAR via RSS feed (Click here), Twitter (Click here) or Facebook fan page (Click here) to not miss any rumor that will be posted between now and the announcement!

Stay tuned!!!!!!!!

I got these suprising rumor from two sources! The “Sony A7s” will be announced on Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just be sure to subscribe the RSS feed (Click here) and Twitter (Click here) stream and the Facebook fan page (Click here) in order to not miss any news! It’s going to be a hot time here on SAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

UPDATE: It’s not a silver A7 :) It’s a “new” camera. UPDATE_2: It’s based on the current A7 but has one unique feature.

P.S.: Apparently this was a super secret project. I am working to get the specs yet…

Zeiss just posted that video showing what you can do with the new Zeiss Touit 50mm macro lens which is available for Fuji X or Sony E-mount (APS-C) cameras. The lens will ship in late April and preorders can be taken here:
50mm macro Touit at BHphoto (Click here) or Adorama (Click here).
Lens Hood at BHphoto (Click here) or Adorama (Click here).

Image on top shows the silhoutte of the current Sony A77.

Well, let’s start with some serious rumor about the next Sony announcement! Multiple sources confirmed an announcement is scheduled for very early May. We are still not how many products Sony will announce. For sure there will be a new A77II A-mount camera. But I still hope there will be some major surprises too (FE lenses, RX cameras and so on…).

A77II:
14 months after the A58 announcement we will finally get a new A-mount camera! We already know the name of the A77 successor is “A77II“. And now one of our trusted sources said he “heard” the A77II will use a new 24 Megapixel sensor. The source didn’t confirm yet if it’s the same 24 MP sensor with the super fast Hybrid AF used by the newly announced A6000 sensor. The source also said the camera has NFC and WiFi and while he didn’t share any AF specs he said it should be extremely fast.

As usual I ask for help from sources to gather more info about the next Sony announcement. You can contact me anonymously by using the contact form you see on the very top-right of your browser. You can also contact me directly at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com.

Thank You all for the help!

As I guess most of you find out by now the previous rumor about the A91 and A9 cameras was a fool days joke :) But I have a bad and good news for you:

Bad: The rumor is obviously false. There will be no A91 and A9 on May 1.

Good: Foveon sensor, 50+ megapixel sensor, Super fast AF. All the info I shared is based on rumors I really got. So there is a big hope Sony will make that fool camera specs…for real!

And now I am at work to get and post some “real” rumors :)

The Sony A77 is now officially marked as “Sold out” at Sony UK, Sony Germany, Sony France, Sony Italy, Sony Spain and all other Sony EU stores!
