Correction:
A trusted source told me the specs of the new ZV-E1 camera but he said the camera name was “ZV-E”. But after posting my article another source said the camera name is “ZV-E1”. So maybe the first source only made a typing error and forgot to add the “1”. Just so you know that I am now a bit uncertain about the name yet “Sony ZV-E1” or “Sony ZV-E“?

Additional info:

• The Sony ZV-E1 body is a mix between the FX3 and A7c.
• The autofocus is from the Sony A7rV
• 4k120 will NOT be launch at first, will come with firmware update after the summer

I hope to get soon more details about this camera but also about the next Sony High End APS-C model!

The new ZV-E1 should have a similar body size of the A7c pictured above

I can finally confirm that on March 29 we will get the new Sony ZV-E1. This will be Sony’s first Full Frame E-mount Blogger focused camera. Here are the specs I think are 99,999% correct :)

• New ZV-E1 E-mount camera is based on the Sony As7III
• Similar body of the Sony A7c (but it’s not an A7c replacement!)
• Same A7sIII 12 Megapixel sensor
• 4k60 & 4k 120 (no crop)
• no pixel binning
• 409k ISO
• Same Sony A7IV autofocus (although another source said it has Sony A7rV autofocus system…so there might be an misunderstanding here).
• Cheaper than the A7sIII (now over 3000 dollars/Euro)

UPDATE: I corrected a single info! Looks like the camera name is ZV-E1 and not ZV-E as initially stated (have to correct my info in the video below)

Tamron manager Kota Misawa chatted with Phototrend and shared many interesting insights:

• We also receive many requests for prime lenses, including a 90mm macro lens, and consider them. Other competitors, however, already produce macro lenses for mirrorless systems, so we have to think about how to develop much more attractive macro lenses. I invite you to stay tuned for our next announcements.
• Our performance shows that there is a market beyond so-called traditional focal lengths. After launching the 28-75mm, we were convinced that if we thought about customer needs and came up with a product that aligned with our philosophy, we could reduce the risk of developing unique lenses.
• The next step will be to plan new APS-C lenses.
• Of course, we always focus on designing compact and lightweight lenses. But now we also consider video-oriented users.
• We are thinking of a direct connection to the lens, with an integrated wireless chip, which is very difficult.
• Considering the geopolitical risks and supply chain aspects, we decided to build another factory in Hanoi.
• We believe the number of avid photographers is growing as the photography market shrinks. Therefore, we believe that the demand for high-end lenses will increase, and we are happy to continue to develop new products such as the 35-150mm f/2-2.8. At the moment, we are thinking about new high-end lenses. I invite you to stay tuned for our next announcements.

Summary: Tamron made it clear that they will keep focusing on making real unique lenses. APS-C E-mount lenses and likely also high quality FF lenses are coming soon too! More talk about what I think is going to happen with Tamron in this video:

The last real “photocentric” APS-C E-mount cameras were announced back in 2019. They were the A6100 and A6600. We got two more APS-C cameras after them but they were made for Bloggers (ZV-E10) and the Filmmakers (FX30).

Now a trusted source told me there is definitely a new APS-C E-mount camera coming right before or max early Summer! He said this would be a new High End model! That’s all I got as RELIABLE info for now. I don’t know yet if this will be a new A6700 (Similar A6600 sized body with maybe the 26Mp FX30 sensor) or a A7000 (bigger A7 styled body with Sony A1 alike features).

In y video below I discuss what I think about the A6700 vs the A7000:

So now it’s time for you to let us know:

I got confirmation Sony will announce another E-mount camera after the ZV FF E-mount launch in late March. The camera is rumored to be announced before the start of the hot Summer. I will post a bit more details today at 15:00 London time here on SAR. The video about this will be posted at 14:45 London time on my Youtube channel (kindly subscribe!).

About the ZV FF camera: I will posted something more about it soon too…

P.S.: I know you hate these teasers, but many do copy my rumors without to credit me. So I have ot make it clear who makes all the job to gather this information. Thanks for your understanding!
