Here are the very first manual images form the new RX100MKII!It has the same sensor as the current RX100. What’s new is the titling screen, Hot Shoe and built-in WiFi features. It will be announced on June 27 along the also brand new “High Resolution” RX1-R!!!

Stay tuned because I got tons of new material. I would need help from Japanese readers to translate the manual. Please send me an email at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com and I will share the text to translate. Thanks!

Soon Sony will announce the new RX100MKII and maybe a new FF RX and Mobile Cyberhsot camera too. But what about the NEX-7 successor? I just got an info form one source. It’s marked as “SR3” and I ask my trusted sources to check the info (Thanks!).

According to the source the cause of the delay of the NEX-7 successor launch is a manufacturing problem that was discovered with prototype runs of the “NEX 7 replacement camera”. Sony is now looking for an economical solution that does not compromise the camera. There seems to be no ETA yet (no defined release date).

The source also told me a surprising news: Design team focus right now is definitely on mirrorless A-mount cameras, not NEX, as E-mount is seen as a consumer product and A-mount as a top end product.

Thanks to the source!

Reminder (SR = Sonyrumor):
SR1=probably fake rumor
SR2=rumor from unknown sources
SR3=50% chance it is correct
SR4=rumor from known sources
SR5=almost certainly correct!

I just got a hint by an anonymous source. The new RX100 MKII should be announced the 27th of June! I have no info yet about other camera or lens release. The new RX Full Frame is likely going to be announced in August.

In these days I also got frequent info from a new source sharing me some info about an “astonishing” Mobile Cybershot camera that will be announced soon. It may be the Honami camera that we talked about for days a couple of weeks ago. It may be that both, the RX100MKII and the Mobile Cybershot will be announced the same day on June 27. This will also be interesting for A and E camera owners because the new Cybershot Smartphone will also use a new JPG engine.

Message to all sources: I got an impressive amount of NEX, A-mount and RX rumors. Please excuse me if It takes time to post them on SAR. I always try to double check info because I got wrong rumors in the past. And I try to be as reliable as possible :) A particular thanks goes to the one source named “untrusted source” (LOL). Wanted to ask him…are you sure about the NEX-FF info? I dind’t get an info from my trusted sources about that!
