Share

On April 7 at 2pm Las Vegas time Sony will have a product launch event and I will have a video livestream embedded here on SAR!

Like I told you before there is near zero chance they will announce the new A7sIII. Instead we will get new camcorders. The probably most interesting new thing could be some info about the new XEVC 8K codec (article and detailed images here). This might be used by the future A7sIII too.

Anyway, be sure to be here on April 7 to watch the event. We never know that there might be a surprise…
