Nikon Pakistan listed the void Z 8 product page. As this camera is going to compete with the Sony A7rV I was interested to see the specs. But to my uprise all they did display for a short period of time is a well known FAKE image :)
Image on top shows the FX30
I got this rumor from a new source. Which means I don’t know if it’s reliable, but I hope it is correct. The source claims the new FX10 is coming this year:
I share in my latest video why I think this would be a great addition to the FX lineup (don’t forget to subscribe my youtube channel):
If my trusted sources are spot on than we might get up to five new E-mount cameras this year! Here is what to expect:
But there might be even 1-2 more if you consider the Venice series and or other niche products (remember Sony also made a PTZ E-mount camera).
What do you hope to get?
This is a lens still missing int he E-mount lens range. But at $9499 it’s also quite expensive!
What do you think, should Sony develop such a lens while you try to save the money for it? :)
This info comes from one reliable and one new source: Sony will soon announce a completely redesigned 70-200mm f/4.0 G lens. It has two important new features:
I believe this could be a real hotseller!
According to a trusted Weibo source a yet not named Chinese manufacturer will soon announce a new 85mm f/1.4 autofocus FE lens.
I got this from a new source:
Every time a camera with a new sensor comes out, we (Sony) prioritize new production lots with new process routes into the system. This is happening more recently with new stacked sensor. I don’t know the details, but what I can say for sure is that we are prioritizing the new full-frame stacked sensor. The way the route is seen is quite different from other stacked sensors, so it can be said that it uses new technology. This sort of thing usually happens in our fab about three months before a new camera launches. So I guess we can expect a new full frame stack camera coming soon (maybe a9iii?) Hope this information is useful!
And this is from a second new source:
Had a chat with a sony rep at a university event who seemed to suggest that a new a9III wouldn’t have the articulating screen that a7rV has as stills photographer seemed to prefer the older style. With this in mind, he seemed to suggest that proRes for video won’t be included. He framed it like there was gonna be a move with the a9 and a1 series to purely pro stills cameras dropping decent support for video.
