From experience I know that you don’t have to take official Sony social messages as a holy grail. It happened in the past that they made incorrect statements. That said it’s worrying that they release messages like this on from Sony UK (Source: Twitter and also on Facebook). Asked if A-mount camera development is dead they answered:
We have no A-mounts planned. We recommend our A7 range. E-mount but with an adapter (LA-EA4, LA-EA3), A-mount lenses can be used.
That certainly doesn’t create any confidence at all in A-mount. I beg Sony to finally make a clear PRO A-mount statement. Or if they plan to “fade out” A-mount just give current A-mount owners a plan to switch. Like a free A7 camera in exchange of their used A-mount camera. But I know they will not do that :(

Brad: “Wanted to share with you an unboxing video I just did of the new Sony A7s ii. I run LStopMedia.com and we received our copy a bit after noon central time today in Chicago. I captured the unboxing using the Sony a7r ii, at 4K, 30p using the Zeiss 24-70, with audio captured using the rodelink wireless system connected into the xlr-k2m. It just uploaded and is still processing, so the 4K may not be available yet. Please feel free to share and spread this video around if interested. Let me know if you have any comments or questions. http://youtu.be/-0UaeU-QWW4“
