(SR5) Sony will announce a new E-mount mirrorless “in the first half of 2019”

Share

Today Sony registered a new camera code which is 99% likely to become the new RX0. But Nokishita added one more info. Sony will announce a new E-mount mirrorless camera “in the first half of 2019”

From the info I gathered this is highly unlikely to be the new Sony A7sIII. Top candidate so far is the new High End APS-C camera which for now we love to name “A7000”. And if you still think a professional APS-C camera is just a phantasy please don’t forget that Sony confirmed it in this Dpreview interview:

“APS-C cameras for professional use must exist.“

But of course nothing is confirmed. I don’t think A7III and A7rIII will be replaced soon. If it’s not the A7sIII and not the A7000 I don’t know what it could be else…

To recap what we heard so far:
SR5: Sony RX0II to be announced within the next 2-3 months
SR5: New APS-C E-mount mirrorless camera coming within June
SR4: New E-mount lens announcement in February (probably 135mm f/1.8 GM and another lens).

Press text:

We are starting 2019 with the introduction of a new generation of Primers for Sony.

This is a massive overhaul affecting all Sony camera models in our Primers lineup. Through further research, findings and advancements we are now able to achieve further improvements of image in multiple parameters, bringing more accurate, stable, thicker, richer, more cinematic and organic looking image. New generation now also offers easier look matching between different cameras and improved creative range in post production, especially with S-Log2 in 8 bits, where the tendency of banding has been greatly reduced.
Newest generation is online for F55, FS7, FS5, A7R2 and A7S2 and updates are hitting emails soon. Update is free of charge, as our way of saying thank you to all the Creatives worldwide who recognized the potential of our tools and helped this project grow. A6300/6500, RX10mk2 and A7S1 are soon to follow.

Primers project info:
Primers are per-sensor and base colour science designed, scene-independent image transformations, embodied into a set of high precision 3DLUTs, which improve imaging performance of a camera. Each set is designed on professional, in-depth camera signal analysis, to provide superior imaging results with organic and stable image basis. The optimization of the image provides multiple improvements in aesthetic and technical parameters, further empowering post production.
