(SR3) Is the Sony A6xxx finally going to be announced soon?

Share

By end of this week (probably Thursday) Sony will announce the new Sony A68. But two trusted sources just gave me some hints about a possible second announcement from Sony.

Trusted source 1:
He told me there is a major Sony invitation for an event around mid November. Usually that kind of invitations are made for a product launch. And he doesn’t belive that’s for the A68.

Trusted source 2:
Sony told us an A6000 successor is about to be announced soon. And  it will ship already by end December or early January.

After a major delay we may finally see the A6xxx at last?

Pmgongpal modified the Sony A7r into a “Contax” version. I really like it! And I am sure you are curious to know what lens is fitted on the camera: The [shoplink 41386 ebay]Hexanon 50/1.2 (see them on eBay)[/shoplink].
Lovely combo! Now I want Sony to give us a Silver A7 version too :)
