One more leaked image of the new Sony ZV-E1: No EVF and similar ZV-E10 layout

I got one more image of the new Sony ZV-E1 that will be announced on March 29. It has no EVF (as suspected) and also similar ZV-E10 layout:

Summary of the Sony ZV-E1 specs:

  • New ZV-E1 E-mount camera is based on the Sony As7III
  • Same A7sIII 12 Megapixel sensor
  • 4k60 & 4k 120 (no crop). But it appears 120p might be coming later via firmware update
  • no pixel binning
  • 409k ISO
  • AF from a7r V but it has even better detection
  • Body overheats a lot at the moment
  • Lots of new AI features, very innovative
  • Similar body style of the ZV-E10, but in the size of the Sony A7c and with some FX3 elements
  • Price slightly below $2,500
  • Announcement on March 29, 3pm London time

There will be plenty of rumors and also possibly image leaks. So be sure to follow my new Youtube channel, Discord channel, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter to not miss news and rumors.

Thanks to the soruce ;)

Sigma will announce three new E-mount lenses on April 3: First leaked image of the new 23mm f/1.4 E lens!

A trusted spruce confirmed that Sigma will announce the 17mm f/4, 50mm f/2 and 23mm f/1.4 on April 3. After those three lenses I expect Sigma to focus on more unique “one of a kind lenses” (my article about this here). There will be also a different version of the classic 70-20mm f/2.8 lens (my article about this here). I also got a first image of the new Sigma 23mm lens!

Will soon Samyang announce a new E-mount zoom?

The only zoom in Samyang’s lineup is this 24-70mm f/2.8 lens

I just got this from a new source (Thanks!):

Samyang is going to announce a new lens end of this month. It’s new to Samyang but it is not new to Sony users. It’s a zoom and it’s a portrait champion.

This sounds like we are getting a 70-200mm f/2.8 E-mount lens…what do you think?
