Finally I have a clue about the exact announcement time. The A77M2 and RX100M3 will be announced on May 1 at 10 am London time. In other time zones this will be:
– 2am (02:00) San Francisco
– 5am (05:00) New York time
– 10 am (10:00) London time
– 11 am (11:00) Berlin time
– 8 pm (20:00) Tokyo time
The most important correction I have to make is quite surprising because one of my trusted sources corrected the RX100M3 info. It doesn’t have the Sony patented 28-100mm f/1.8-2.8 lens! The RX100M3 has a new 24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 lens! Sony decided to take away some mm at the tele end in favour of a much more wide angle lens. I am a bit surprised I was wrong on this because two trusted sources told me it was a 28-100mm lenses. I actually suspect Sony itself shared wrong specs without knowing it. Possible seen that they often copy and past from previous generation cameras :) One more thing: It’s confirmed the new RX has a builtin EVF!
Be sure to be online on may 1 at SAR to follow the event live!
Reminder A77MII specs:
new 24 MP Sensor
79 af points, 15 cross points
very Fast Tracking performance
12fps up to 60 Frames/ 25 frames RAW & JPG, RAW 26 frames
Low light AF, f/2.8 vertical line sensor, new algorithm

A77M2
Some of you had the fear the next A-mount camera would never come? So here is an image leaking the “ILCA-A77M2” name. It’s coming from a Sony site (thanks NEXblog) and the “A” in “ILCA” means it’s A-mount :)

These are the Sony A77MII A-mount camera specs I got from a trusted source. Notice he said “A77MII” while another source called it “A77II” (without the “M”):
new Sensor
79 af points, 15 cross points
very Fast Tracking performance
12fps up to 60 Frames/ 25 frames RAW & JPG, RAW 26 frames
Low light AF, f/2.8 vertical line sensor, new algorithm
From previous rumors I got the sensor should likely have 24MP just like the predecessor (but with new design). And we know the camera has been trimmed for speed (super fast AF, no EVF lag and so on) and has built-in WiFi.
In summary this is what Sony could launch on May 1 10am (London time):
Sony A77II: An “upgraded” version of the current A-mount A77. With new 24MP sensor and Wifi, faster Af and EVF.
Sony RX100M3: Features an amazing 24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 lens and a pop-up viewfinder
Sony A7s: pricing.
Two lenses: Likely two new FE Zeiss?

Samyang announced two new E-mount and one new A-mount lens. Full specs can be read by clicking those links:
Specification – Samyang 10mm T3.1 Cine E-mount (specs here)
Specification – Samyang 12mm T2.2 Cine E-mount (specs here)
Samyang 300mm f/6.3 Mirror UMC CS A-mount (specs here)
Here is the official Samyang press text:
10 and 12mm E-mount:
Nearly a month after their market release, Samyang 10mm f/2.8 ED AS NCS CS and Samyang 12 mm f/2.0 NCS CS lenses are now available in their equivalent cine versions: Samyang 10mm T3.1 Cine and 12mm T2.2 Cine. Samyang VDSLR cine lenses feature aperture and focus rings with sprocket wheels controlling their work through Follow Focus systems. This allows for noiseless and smooth adjustment of the above parameters during filming.
Samyang 10mm T3.1 Cine and 12mm T2.2 Cine have nanocrystal anti-reflective layer (NCS) that ensures better light transmission, increased resistance to light reflections and higher contrast, which improves optical resolution of the lenses.
Samyang 12 mm in photo and cine versions fills the gap among lenses dedicated for mirrorless cameras with APS-C sensor, large angle of view and high brightness. The lens has been designed for cameras fitted with a high resolution sensor (above 24 mln pixels). Samyang Optics company is renowned among clients for great quality optics offered at affordable prices. And this is also the case with 10mm and 12 lenses which provide technical parameters and optical potential that can easily compete with the best wide-angle prime and zoom lenses available on the market.
300mm A-mount:
Samyang offers light and compact 300mm f/6.3 Mirror UMC CS mirror lens in DSLR version with Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony A and Micro 4/3 mounts. Optical construction includes 8 lens elements arranged in 8 groups. The lens elements have been covered with anti-reflective, multi-layer (UMC) coatings of new generation to minimize light reflections and increase contrast. Owing to large focal length, really affordable price and small sizes (the lens weighs only 260g), your lens will become inseparable companion for all reflex camera users in “the field”.
