They believe that Sony is likely to announce a new 100MP camera in 2022. This would have to be the new A7rV. I am not so sure about this yet. But we know Sony already has such kind of sensors in the works. Two years ago I reported about this new Sony sensor having 102 Megapixels and 6k recording. The specs are stunning:

2.91um pixel architecture, 100MP @ 10fps, 6K video using 12bit ADC with on-chip binning/line-skipping. 4K RGB 4:4:4 video with on-chip colour-aware binning.

This 12288 x 8192 100MP sensor employs a unique, CFA-based column-parallel ADC design:

The sensor is said to perform better than A7III in terms of dynamic range, sensitivity (QE) and readout speed. Here is the 4K RGB 4:4:4 readout mode:

A trusted source confirmed the launch of the new Sigma 20mm f/2.0 DG DN lens. And he also said two more primes will be announced shortly after the 20mm lens. Will share some details as soon as I double checked the info I got.

CameraBeta leaked the image of this new Yongnuo 20mm f/1.8 FE lens. You cans ee the aperture ring and AF switch. Price and release date are yet unknown.

Our source “M.” sent us the specs of the soon to be announced new Samyang 135mm f/1.8 FE lens:

13 elements in 11 Groups
Shortest shooting distance：0.7m
Filter :82mm
size:  Φ93.4 x 129.6 mm
weight:764g

Announcement should be in January (P.S.: Somebody knows the exact date?).

Viltrox is teasing the launch of the X-mount 13mm f/1.4 APS-C lens on January 3rd. The lens is already listed at Viltrox store. A couple of months ago they also displayed the E-mount version of this lens. I don’t know yet if the E-mount version will be announced on the same day or sometimes later.

Following the three existing DG DN primes Sigma will very soon launch their new 20mm f/2.0 DG DN E-mount lens. Here are the specs:

• 13 lenses in 11 groups
• minimum shooting distance 22cm
• maximum shooting magnification 1: 6.7
• filter diameter 62mm
• size φ70 × 72.4mm
• weight 370g
• Suggested retail price the same as the 65mm F2

Image of one of the patented Sony medium format lenses

Then only thing I know for sure, is that Sony patented some medium format lenses. But all the rest is purely speculation and very wild rumors. One wild rumors I got is this one:

the medium format system Sony will release in 2 years has not curved sensor, its a new developed 200mp 54×36 sensor in a new mount, Sony will release an adapter to use E lenses (just they can say it had a lot of compatibility lenses cause the system will be released with only 3 primes) and will be a system without mechanical shutter with flash sync faster than anything in the market by far, its a system targeted for ultimate studio work

Now, this is not from one of my trusted source so there is a high chance it’s wrong. Still I post this because I would damn love it to be true!
