(SR5) This is what Sony could announce on July 17: A new RX camera a new “secret camera which is not APS-C” and the new 35mm f/1.8 FE

Share

The following info comes from reliable sources. On July 17 Sony will announce at least that gear:

– One new RX camera
– The new 35mm f/1.8 FE
– And a new “secret model” which I have been told is not APS-C..which means it’s not a new A6500 successor

The sources could not confirm if the new secret model is a new FF E-mount camera although it’s “highly likely”. They said Sony Tokyo kept maximum secret on this model.

There could be some more stuff…but that’s not an SR5 rumor yet !

Speculation:
From what I heard the A7sIII is not ready to be on market now…and the A9II neither. So what else could this be?

UPDATED: Official White House photographer Sheilah Craighead spotted using the Sony A9 at the Kim Jong meeting

Share
SAR reader Raul sent me these pictures and the following text:
Not sure who she is, but seems to be part of his team considering the exclusive view/location she had when Trump met Kim Jong Un at the DMZ in the Korean Peninsula.
She seems to use at least a pair of a9, 100-400GM, and a 16-35GM
UPDATE: Our reader Nathan just messaged me to tell that this is the Official White House photographer Sheilah Craighead!
 
SAR note: No political comments allowed. We are only here to talk about the gear :)

(SR2) Some more Sony rumors from first time sources…(new sports camera and new cybershot?)

Share

While I am working to get info from my reliable sources I will share to you these rumors from first time sources. It means they have to be taken with BIG caution:

Source 1:

Ran into local pro photographer at XXX (SAR edited) using small camera with tape covering identification markings.
Looked like he was holding a member of the cybershot family.
He was pleasant enough about my inquiries, but said he was testing a new camera and could/would not discuss any aspect of his activities…period.
I saw that all his other visible gear was…Sony.

Source 2:

Sony will announce sports oriented camera body. Because it’s exactly 1 year for the next Olympics 2020…announcing brand new sports-oriented body will give signal to the industry that Sony are going big next year

Basically according to them one RX camera and one (APS-C high end?) camera would be announced on July 17…

Reminder:
Sigma will announce new FE lenses on July 11 and Sony a new camera and new lenses on July 17. Livestream on SAR!
