Sony 85mm f/1.4 GMII still confirmed to be announced very soon

Share

So folks, lately I have been silent on Sony rumors because of two reasons:

  1. The personal stuff that is keep me busy, told you about here and I can tell you know this will take a lot of more time than expected
  2. Sony has postponed the release of most gear and I am awaiting new info on the new launch dates

I don’t know why Sony postponed the ZV-E10II launch and other product launches. But this is not unique to Sony! Also Canon (read here) and Nikon delayed some of their product launches. Possible reasons could be the worldwide shipment havoc but that’s just one of the possible causes.

So I am awaiting to get confirmation on the new roadmap and these are the small updates I can give you today:

Sony 85mm f/1.4 GMII

All one trusted source told me is that it still seems the 85mm f/1.4 GMII might be announced very soon (possibly within early July)

Sony ZV-E10II and kit lens

Another trusted sources told me this camera should start shipping out in August. He has no info yet when the camera will be available for reorder (If June or in July).

24-70mm f/2.0

No info at all when this lens will be released but I am 100% sure we are getting it with or soon after the ZV-E10II launch

Exciting prospects ins second half of the year

The second half of the year will be finally exciting!

  • We are getting a new FX Full Frame camera between July and September. Shoudl be an FX9 successor
  • We are getting a new Alpha camera in August/September. Could be the A7sIV but I have no confirmation yet
  • We could get another Alpha camera in October/November. No info about this model
  • Small chance to see an “unexpected” model in October/November. More info about that soon!

Wrap up:

So that’s it for now, hope that I can sort my shit in the next days and find some more time to work on rumors soon! You can help me out on this and share the rumors you find or hear by using this contact box or by contacting me at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com. Thanks!

Sony’s new tutorial videos explain how their Electronic Variable ND works

Share

A couple of Sony Cine E-mount cameras use Electronic Variable ND technology. In these videos you can find out how it works and why it’s important. I imagine some of you are wondering if this technology will ever make it into the more compact A7s or FX3/30 line of cameras. I hope the A7sIV will feature it, as it would add a lot of attention to this camera! Let’s keep our fingers crossed!
