I don’t know how reliable this info is. But rumor has it two cine cameras will be announced ahead of the IBC show in Amsterdam

Sony Z380
The Sony Z380 is a newly developed 3CMOS BIONZ XR XDCAM camcorder that features internal variable ND, which supports 4K120p recording in all RGB Tricolor.
The image quality of the Z380 is significantly higher than that of the , thanks to the BIONZ XR, AI unit, and new high-speed, high-saturation, and high-sensitivity Exmor RS 3CMOS.
Based on test information, the image quality of the PXW-Z380 is superior to that of the . It has a low base ISO and a high sensitivity mode ISO, which is consistent with the .
The Z380’s autofocus performance is a vast improvement over the previous generation , relieving the operator of the pressure of focusing and allowing them to shift their attention entirely to composition and following the subject.

Sony FX8
The New full-frame product, named FX8, will feature a resolution of 12K, which is four times that of the . It uses a 16:9 cropped 12K full-frame (3:2 aspect ratio, 96M total pixels) CMOS image sensor.
It doesn’t have internal RAW or X-OCN recording capabilities. Like the , it outputs full-frame crop 3.8K 16-bit RAW to a third-party recorder via SDI at a maximum of 120fps.
The only recording format available is XAVC, which offers 8K30p or 4K60p recording in full-frame and S35 modes. And the full-frame crop 3.8K mode provides 4K120p recording.
The readout specifications are not as good as the URSA Cine 12K, as the processor limits it, but it is still a reliable and easy-to-use camcorder that offers high-speed 4K (for users) and full-frame/Super35 dual-format 8K30p/4K60p (for users) for creative freedom.

In the past days I got two messages from tow different sources claiming a new Cine E-mount camera will be announced soon:

Source 1:

Sony’s sales claims that it will launch a Cinema Line camera that support XAVC 8K. It is positioned below BURANO, so it may be the FX9 II.

Source 2:

Likely with global shutter… he said he couldn’t really specifics right now but I’ll find out soon… 

What you see here on top is the size comparison between the “old” Sigma 35mm f/1.2 and the new version that will be announced soon. As you see the new version is more compact (I would guess around 1cm less longer) and is rumored to have a Filter Size of 72mm compared ot the older 82mm.

Still don’t know what the price will be but it could be a tiny bit more expensive than this first generation lens. Probably also because of the tariffs…and I can’t wait to read the comments about this :)

Sigma is rumored to launch a total of four new Full Frame lenses this year. And I will soon share info about those on SAR and on my youtube channel (subscribe here).

And, what do you think about this lens?

On this image you see both, the upcoming  new 16mm f/2.8 and 85mm f/1.8 PRIMA lenses from Samyang. On the very left the already available 35mm f/1.4 Prima lens.

Here are the first leaked images of the new Samyang 85mm f/1.8 “Prima” FE lens. This lens is going to be announced very soon. This would be the 35th E-mount lens with this focal length (list here at BH). Don’t know why this lens is actually needed :)

How2Fly reports:

Sony is testing a new full-frame macro lens, the FE 100mm F2.8 Macro GM OSS.

It means soon this lens will be announced. It’s going ot be the official replacement for the 90mm macro. However, unlike the original 90mm lens, this one will carry the GM branding, indicating superior optical performance.What do you think about this lens?

Sony registered new camera closed in May. From trusted sources, we can be almost certain that one of them is for the new Sony A7V. But I don’t know the specs yet and all I get are rumors from anonymous messengers. This one sounds reasonable, but of course it could just be conjecture:

I saw some prototypes,
44mpx 20fps non stacked sensor 100% confirmed.
same body as A1II
same screen as A1II
AI chip
New improved evf compared to A7IV – could not really confirm
better heat management

The Sony A7V is expected to be announced in Summer at earliest…
