Sony CEO Hirai talked a lot about the A7s, A7 and great Sony sensor technique. But there were no new A and E-mount announcements today (as expected). For that we have to wait just 4 weeks more (early February).

The focus at CES was on TV’s and other stuff including the new 4K actioncamera and 4K camcorders. All that stuff can be seen on that Sony special CES page (Click here).

(SR5) First image leak of the new Sony 4K actioncamera.

Dvinfo found images of the new Sony stuff. This is the first image of the Sony 4K Actioncamera. The $500 X100V is a 4K actioncamera with image stabilization which will be in Store by February. It costs $100 more than the GoPRO4 but unlike the GoPro the Sony comes with on lens stabilization. Keep in mind that the GoPRO Hero4 is the most sold overall(!) camera at Amazon US (ranking here). Let’s see if Sony can succeed to dethrone that hotseller!

There is also a new AX33 4K camcorder that will go on sale for $1,100 AX33 in February.

No E or E-mount stuff will be announced today. But we will not have to wait a long time. Only 4 weeks until the next Sony press announcement before CP+ ;)

Thanks Cliff!
