This is the first leaked image of the new Sony A9II !!! The camera will be announced in October. UPDATE. It will NOT be displayed at the PhotoPlus show but on a separate event because Sony decided to NOT be present at the show this year.

I got three images of the new Sony A9II and I am now allowed to post this one only :) And yes:

The new Sony A9II looks exactly like the new Sony A7rIV but with the additional dial on the left.

This is not a photoshopped image and indeed there will be only one minor change to prove you this is the real deal:

– Gone is the “Focus mode dial lock release button” of the previous Sony A9

Now before you rant about the disappointment of this news :) I have been assured that all the WOW elements are INSIDE the camera. The sensor should be the most advanced one on the market yet! Hope to get some info about this soon :)

The only yet NON-confirmed info I got is that it uses a new generation 36MP sensor. But I repeat this is NOT confirmed yet!

Sony A9II rumor recap:
– The camera will be announced in October and displayed at the PhotoPlus show in NYC (October  23-25)
– The camera has the same A7rIV body with additional dial on the left.
– The big improvements are INSIDE the camera with a very new generation Sony sensor and improved autofocus
– Unconfirmed: The sensor could have 36MP resolution

Stay tuned on SAR!

Sony has registered six new Full Frame sensors. Below you can find the full spec sheets. What’s particular is that the sensor named IMX521 uses the Quad Bayer Structure. Sony writes:

HDR function is available by dividing exposure time in the 4 same color pixels into long exposure pixels and short exposure pixels. or dividing conversion gain in the 4 same color pixels into LCG pixels and HCG pixels.
Quad Bayer RAW function makes it possible to readout 4 same color pixels without addition.
When normal operation. 4 same color pixels are added and made 1 pixel, and output as bayer pixel array. In addition, a group of divided 4 same color pixels is defined as 1 pixel unit in this product specification.

Here are the short sensor specs:
IMX311: 48,9MP (45° deg. square pix array)
IMX313: 48,9MP (16bit A/D, stacked 3:2, 30p at 16:9 FULL 8k readout. 60p at 6k with crop.)
IMX409: 55MP
IMX410: 24.6MP (24mpix, 19fps for photography. 6k 40fps, 4k crop 100fps.)
