About those rumors: I have no idea who sent them and 90% of the times they turn out to be wrong. But, it happened in the past that a couple of those were right. So I will post them today, and we all together can eventually keep track of this. If one of the sources turns out to be right than we will know we can trust it a bit more!

Source 1:

SONY’s New ”Speed” Camera ILCE-9S will be released after Canon EOS R3. Cause Both the EOS R3 and ILCE-9S are using a 20 MP level Sensor and cheaper than the ILCE-1.

Source 2:

Alpha’s New Hi-End APS-C features 36MP Exmor R Sensor

Source 3:

soon the sony lens with a 200 mm focal length will be available. The Lens comes in 2 different versions, and it will be distributed to the first amabossers very soon. The first demo models and press models are already prefabricated

Source 4:

Looks like it is not impossible sony brings A7S3a and A1a before A7iv ..

Back in February Sigma CEO hinted that a 70-200mm f/2.8 FE lens would come. But we haven’t heard anything about this until now. One source now appears to have gotten some info about the lens. All he sent me was the weight info:

The new sigma S 70-200 weights only 1050g!!

No idea when this will be announced….but I guess that if his info is correct the lens should be announced within the end of the year.

I have been told the A7IV has basically the same A7SIII body. It means it also has the same heatsink and a HDMI type A port and can take both UHS-II SD-cards and CF Xpress A cards

Sony A7IV rumored specs:

• launch in October (if chip supply permits this)
• Newly developed 33MP sensor
• 4k30 video is oversampled from 7K
• 5.5 stops of IBIS (+ AS)
• Same A7sIII body design
• Full size HDMi
• UHS-II SD-cards and CF Xpress cards

Within hours we will get a new Laowa FE lens!

I can now add one more solid rumors: full frame 4k30 video is over sampled from 7K

Sony A7IV rumored specs:

• launch in October (if chip supply permits this)
• Newly developed 33MP sensor
• 4k30 video is oversampled from 7K
• 5.5 stops of IBIS (+ AS)

So we got three new items coming the next week and months:

1. The new Sony A7IV should be the next FF camera to be announced in late October
2. The new Sony 28-75mm f/2.8 G to compete against the Tamron 28-75mm FE and Sigma 28-70mm FE.
3. New 28-75mm f/2.8 FE and a new 100mm f/1.4 GM?

No info on the other cameras and lenses yet…
