As I told you many times in these weeks Sony has a big announcement in early May. There will be definitely a new A77 successor but I was confident Sony would announce more stuff. And well, Mark Weir from Sony just confirmed new FE lenses will be announced “very soon”. And I think some A-mount lenses will come too. But that’s still not SR5 confirmed yet. Mark also says some “unique cameras will come too! These are some key info he shares on the BH video posted on top:

38:00 min Mark confirms Sony will launch very fast FE lenses.
39:40 min Mark confirms we won’t have long to wait to see the new lenses! And he said the people who makes Sony suggestions about lenses will be very happy :)
47:30 min Mark answers about the light leak issue
54:50 min Mark says Sony wants to make cameras that have been never made before. And you will see more of that shortly!
1:14:00 min Mark says they will be releasing more “Servo-based” zoom lenses.

This means I have now seriously go back to work and contact all sources to try to get some SR5 rumors! And you readers may help me to keep an eye on forums and sites to see if we can catch some info about the next Sony announcement! This is going to be an exciting time once again here on SAR!
