Sony announced a bunch of new products at the IFA in Berlin. There is the new 4K action camera but no new A or E-mount stuff (as expected). A full list of the new products can be found at sony.net/SonyInfo/News/Press/201609/16-078E/index.html
P.S.: Don’t be disappointed there are two more Sony press events this month that can bring us some excitement or some more disappointment :)

A trusted source sent me the first images of the new Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 lens! There will be a version with VC (in lens stabilization) for Canon and Nikon and one without VC for Sony A-mount. The images leaked here are the VC version.
I don’t know what kind of optical improvements we can expect over the SP 150-600mm predecessor. But for sure the new version looks much more refined and very much of the same quality of their SP A-mount prime lens series.
