First important news:
The best part of my job is when I can give you very good rumors from trusted sources…It has something to do with this lens :)  So I am going to post this rumor today at 19:00 Berlin time (1pm New York City). I will post the youtube video about this rumor 15min earlier (so please subscribe).

Second important thing:
I am working to redo the website, cut ADS and try to focus more on content. This will be a long work and I can only do it now because the past 11 years I had to fight along a rare “pathology” that affected my son’s life.
I will share this story on my Youtube channel soon (subscribe to support my efforts and get exciting rumors).

Third important thing:
If you want to support my efforts consider using those affiliated links to buy your gear…like when you preorder the A9III: BHphoto. Amazon. Adorama. You will help me to cover the cost of the new design and coding of the website. I also do have a Amazon storefront with the best gear selected by me Thanks!

This is the new Godox V1 PRO that will be announced very soon!

Two sources now told me that we can expect a lot more features to be implemented than previously disclosed by Sony. This should bring both the Sony A1 and Sony A7sIII on par or ahead of the competition.

The bad news of this rumor is that it might means that the A1II (and A7sIV) might not going to be released any time soon.

A source (Thanks a lot!) just told me the DJI MIC 2 will be announced on January 17th at 15:00 Berlin time. As you might know the DJI Mic 2 has been “silently” launched as part of DJi Osmo 3 combo kit (Click here). What we are getting now on Jan 15 is the possibility to buy the Mic only for our Sony cameras.

UPDATE: Some specs:

• 32 bit float recording
• bigger battery
• No timecode
• Intelligent Noise Canceling
• 250m reach
• Shadow Black and Pearl White colors

To the source: Thanks for sharing the info! Let me know if you have more DJI news!

Chinese leaker E8M_8888 has shared many correct info on Sony sensor releases and camera registrations. He now attempted to guess a possible Sony camera roadmap for 2024. I see people took this “wishlist” as more serious than it is…so please take it with a huge dose of sepsis. He wrote:

• ZV-E10 II with same A6700 sensor (no mechanical shutter),
• A7M5 49MP
• A6200 26MP
• A7S4 40MP (new processor features)
• FX3 II 12MP (electronic ND + IBIS).
• As for the A1 II, it is more likely to be a selling point together with new processor features.

My thoughts on this rumor list have been shared on my Youtube channel. If you want a more reliable rumor list I published one here: sonyalpharumors.com/sony-2024-roadmap-new-fx-new-zve10ii-new-a7siv-new-a1ii/

The lens will be announced in Spring. No info on pricing yet.
