100% confirmed: Sony 16-25mm f/2.8 G to be announced next week! And ZV-E10II coming in May/June

Share

Four reliable sources confirm to me that the Sony 16-25mm f/2.8 G will be announced next week. And that should be it, there doesn’t seem to be anything else at that press event. The next big Sony event is scheduled for May (June at the latest). We will have the ZV-E10II, the 85mm f/1.4GMII and hopefully the 24-70mm f/2.0 GM.

But like I told you before, there is going to be MAJOR announcements right after the ZV-E10II. One of the cameras coming is a new FX, but there are also new Alpha cameras and maybe also one “surprise” ;)

Swiss store openly shared the sales data of the past years: “Canon, the former king of cameras, ceded its crown to Sony”

Above you can see how Sony took over the lead in 2019. Not they hold a market share of 28.1 per cent. The real suprise here is that Kodak and Agfa are selling more cameras than Panasonic, Fuji or Nikon! The reason might be the recent increase in interest for disposable film cameras.

When it comes to lenses Canon leads the pack. Obviously Canon has a closed mount system and Sigma/Tamron cannot make lenses for them. So it’s kind of obvious that Sony doens’t take the lead because of the many E-mount lenses that Sigma and Tamron are selling right now.
