RUMOR: 4k120 will be available later via firmware update on the A6700

I got a minor update on the A6700 from a new source:

A6700-4k120 is true. But will come in FW update along with zve1

While this is not coming from one of my trusted sources it sounds possible the A6700 will have the same fate of the ZV-E1. Probably they use the same new engine and software updates and it makes sense that the 4k120p feature will have the same kind of “delay” as on the just announced ZV-E1.

Very WILD rumor: Sony 300mm f/2.8 GM to be announced in May?

Back on January Sony announced the 300mm f/2.8 GM development with a target launch date in early 2024. ​I now got a wild rumors about an anticipated launch of this lens. To me this sounds very unlikely but hey…I would be happy to be proven wrong!

An anonymous source is sharing this across the web:

Sony 300 2.8 GM will be announced end of May.
Lightest 300/2.8 with fastest AF and closest minimum focus distance on the market.

I would be very surprised if this turns out to be true, therefore take it with a big grain of salt!

First Sony A6700 rumored specs

By end of May Sony will announce a new ZV1 successor. But you will not have to wait long time to see the new High End APS-C camera announcement.

TRUSTED sources told us the new High End camera will start shipping out in August. Announcement will obviously happen before that.

TWO NEW sources shared following info on this camera:

  • Name: a6700
  • Sensor: 26mp (same FX30 sensor).
  • IBIS: 7 stops
  • Ai processor (same Sony ZV-E1 processor)
  • 4k120 (1.19 crop)
  • The body will be a new design. It will still have the evf on the left, but it will have a scroll wheel on the front under the shutter button. The grip is redesigned and  more ergonomic. The body will be about 3mm deeper and 4mm taller.
  • Announcement date: beginning of July.

I am yet not 100% sure if those specs are correct, hope trusted sources will give me their feedback after reading this post. But to me those specs sound very reasonable and I explain you in my latest video why these might be correct:

Sony will announce a new ZV1 successor by end of May! New lenses in June and new A6700 in early July?

A trusted source told me that Sony will have a product announcement by end of May. We will get the new ZV1 successor. So this isn’t really the camera we were all waiting for. But hold on with me, there will be more Sony product announcements in June/July! We will get new lenses and after that also the A6700 in early July.

One other trusted source told me that Sony actually anticipated some product announcements. He didn’t share more details but it may means that the original early July announcement for the A6700 might be anticipated. I also got some possible A6700 specs I will post soon. Stay tuned folks, don’t despair, many great lenses and cameras will be announced in June/July and, September/October ;)
