Important: I got this image from an anonymous source. So it could (and should) be completely bullshit. So stop to read here if you only care about more “realistic” rumors.

Still, even if this has a 99% chance to be a fake let’s discuss the features :)

The camera appears to a Sony A7sII successor in form of a new RX camera. The camera seems to have a fully articulating screen too. And here are the “leaked” specs:

But like I said, please threat this rumor with a grain of salt and with a 99% chance it’s wrong. If anyone knows who made this drop me a message!

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.)
