If you want a chance to play with the new Sony cameras and other new models that will be announces soon (like the Nikon ZF) than be sure to join the Bild Expo 2023.

Sony added two more cameras to its line of interchangeable cameras which brought the line to no less than 18 total choices from entry-level through professional. That is just too many. Sony has made it a company policy to discontinue camera bodies and lenses as infrequently as possible, which has the advantage of giving buyers more choice when it comes to determining how to spend their money. Continuing to sell the Sony a7 II, for example, even though there a7 IV is the most recent addition to that section of the line allows a photographer to decide to spend less on a camera if they don’t think they need as many features. But on the flip side, it results in a camera line that has an amorphous beginning and end. Seeing so many choices ends up becoming more of a detriment than a benefit. In this week’s PetaPixel Podcast, Chris, Jordan, and Jaron talk about this problem and do their best to point out how difficult it has become to recommend a specific camera for a specific use case given the bloated nature of Sony’s camera line.

What’s alaso interesting is that they hint at a big announcement next Tuesday…but I do believe this might be for the Nikon ZF…

Dear Sources,
I am now collecting feedback on the upcoming A9III, Venice E-mount camera and new Sony lenses. If you know “something” and want to share the info use this anonymous contact box (Click here) or send me an email at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com.

I got some A9III “proof” of existence and would love to get some details about the exact announcement date and obviously specs ;)

Thanks!

As usual Sony did hand over new cameras to a massive amount of youtubers. Here is all the reviews I could find (but there are surely more I missed):

I talked to the stores I am in contact with in the USA and EU. They shared some early stats about the sales:

• All three products do not sell in crazy numbers compared to the very good sales of the A7rV (the last Sony camera that sold very well).
• On top of the sales we have the A7cR slightly ahead of the 16-35GMII which again is only slightly ahead of the A7cII.

This isn’t much different from our POLL which shows that more or less the preorders are equally distributed, except for the A7cR which is a bit behind:
