(SR5) Confirmed Sony announcement within the next 7-8 days! Lenses for sure but no new camera?

Share

I can now confirm with 99,999% reliability that Sony will announced new products within the next 7-8 days. Journalists have been invited to various locations for a Sony product launch event.

What to expect:
New 135mm f/1.8 GM lens
Hopefully some other new E-mount lens (100mm f/1.4, 500mm f/4.0 and 600mm f/4.0 have been patented by Sony. Also rumored are a possible launch in 2019 of the 35mm f/1.8 G and a new APS-C zoom.

What to NOT expect:
No A7sIII yet
There is a reliable rumor about a new E-mount camera launch within June. But it shouldn’t be announced yet at the WPPI show. My guess is that it will be announced in May-June.

Daniel: “As before i helped smallrig in the co-design of their new l-bracket/half-cage. The last one the smallrig 2122 is used a lot. The new one at current pre-order prices comes with many new features and extra (free) parts to make it a half-cage and is only 5 euro or dollars more called the smallrig 2236.. I did a review (long) and even a update with some extra tips on a pre-production unit. My guess is many of your viewers might want to save some money since the 30% off will be gone once they start shipping 19feb.

Jon: “Hi, So many say Sony’s codec is bad and they hope the a7s III has 10-bit 4:2:2. I shot with Panasonic for years, and those 10-bit files take up lots of hard drive space. Not only that, but I could never get the colors I wanted. I’m not saying Sony shouldn’t have 10-bit on their next camera, but since I shoot for Web delivery, 8-bit is more  than sufficient for my needs.
