Here is a short roundup of latest Honami leaks: As you know this is a high-end smartphone with built-in 20 Megapixel 1/2.3 inch sensor and 28mm f/2.0 G lens. This smartphone is also supposed to feature a new JPEG engine that could find his way in future A and E mount cameras too and it will also shot 4K video! GSMarena posted new images of the Smartphone while Xperiablog posted the first full size image sample (Click here to see it). The image sample doesn’t really look that good. But it’s hard to say if 1) the image is real and 2) this has been taken with a pre or final production camera.

The new NEX, the Honami, the Lens Camera and the new Action Cameras…there is a lot to come from Sony!

ThePhoBlographer received that Sony invitation for a September 4th press event. according to our sources this event is very likely for the new Honami i1 smartphone (with G lens and 1/2.3 inch sensor) and for the QX “lens-cameras” series. The new NEX-5t and 16-70mm Zeiss E-mount lens will be announced earlier (probably August 29). While I expect the NEX-FF (and A-mount stuff?) to be announced in late September.

Trusted sources told me (with my huge surprise) that Sony and Zeiss worked much closer than expected on the soon to come new NEX-FF system. I now have been told that along the Zeiss 35mm f/2.8 FF E-mount lens there will be two more Zeiss lenses! A source also told me there would be a Sony branded G zoom lens too. This makes a total of four lenses that will be unveiled along the NEX-FF camera (in September?). I am now trying to convince sources to share the detailed Lens specs.

The rumor is marked SR4 until I get a clear evidence that these lenses are real. Someone has a picture to share? :=)

And finally we will get our first high quality zoom for the NEX system. Sony will launch the new Zeiss 16-70mm f/4.0 E-mount lens by End of August (likely August 29)! It will be unveiled along the new NEX-5T camera. This is a completely different lens than the 16-80mm Zeiss A-mount version (here at Amazon). But the price will be more or less similar (around $1,000).

One more NEX-FF thing: Still working on the camera specs. But I was able to get lens info from one source. I am now trying to double check the info I got. If it’s true than the lenses are GREAT! And that is not me being Sony fanboy or over emotional. Stay tuned on SAR!

AKorean agency just registered two new Sonu camcorders in their database. These are NEX-FS700R and NEX-FS700RH E-mount camcorders that will replace the current [shoplink 20324 ebay]Sony NEX-FS700 (here on eBay)[/shoplink]. Specs are yet unkown but the camera will be announced within the next few weeks.

And one more thing: Sonyactioncam2 also spotted the Action Camera name registration. It’s the AS30V.

Time for a short roundup of what’s going to be announced soon. As usual be sure to follow SAR the next days and week. Now mark these dates on your calendar:

Late August (the 29?): Sony NEX-5t, 16-70mm E-mount lens and a third product (the ILC-3000?) will be announced.
September 4: Sony Honami i1, The two QX lens cameras and new action cameras.
Late September (24?): Sony first Full Frame NEX photocamera with first Zeiss Full Frame lenses!

Possible surprises could be: New A-mount mirrorless strategy presentation (Still not sure about that yet!), NEX-7 successor, more A and E-mount lenses.

Personal note: Because of all this rumor work my vacation was a mess :( Anyway, I have to look at the bright side. Sony is on the verge to announce two possible game changing products. The QX series and the NEX-FF series. You rarely can live moments of innovation like this! And watch out SAR for the next rumors, I already know there is some terrific surprise :)
