Reminder: Sony press event on January 7 and another press meeting around mid January

Share

We are getting closer to two major Sony events:

Event ONE:
Sony will have an official press conference and product announcement day on January 7 at 5pm Las Vegas time. Usually Sony doesn’t announce new E-mount gear at CES. Last time this happened was in 2014 for the A5000. But you never know and at least the BeAlpha event on Jan 8 hints at “possible surprises”. We heard Sony’s focus will be on unveiling a full 8K platform which includes:

8K Television/CLEDIS
8K Laser projector
8K camera/camcorder
8K postprocessing platform

Event TWO:
Sony has organized a major journalist meeting around mid January. There is no 100% guarantee they will announce new products but in most cases those events lead to some kind of lens or camera announcement.

I will hopefully be able to embed a CES press event live stream on SAR. Stay tuned!
