Asobinet made a summary of all Sony rumors posted mostly by me :)

Here i am going to repost it and add some comments about what’s likely and not likely:

α7R V

• Appears in 2022 (likely in the second half)
• Appeared in the latter half of 2022 due to the shortage of semiconductors
• 8K 30p full width Super35
• 4K 60p full width Super35

SAR comment: I can confirm it’s coming late 2022. 8K I cannot confirm but I think it’s highly likely.

α9 III

• Appears in 2022 (likely in the second half)
• Appeared in the latter half of 2022 due to the shortage of semiconductors
• Appears in the fourth quarter of 2022
• Later than the new α7R V and ZV-1
• 24 million pixels
• Significant upgrade of core specs
• Wild specs:
  ・24MP
  ・ New menu
  ・ Tilt monitor
  ・ 4K 60p
  ・ $ 4999
  ・ 32000 yuan

SAR comment: I think that it will be released in 2023 only due the persistent chip shortages.

others

• An unknown model will appear in 2022
  ・ It is not a successor model to the existing camera
  ・ It will appear in 2022.3-2023.3
• ZV-1 derivative model will appear in Q2 2022

SAR comment: ZV camera will now arrive in late 2022 only! As of the “unknown” model this is still unclear if it will be announced in 2022.

Today at 4pm London time (10am New York) and 17:00 Berlin time) I will post a complete Sony rumor roadmap and recap video.

One reliable source now told me that Sony will have a product announcement on April 27 at 16:00 Berlin time. I am pretty sure we will get the new Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II lens!

Rumored lens specs:

• it’s extremely sharp
• designed like the current 70-200 GM II
• it’s the lightest 24-70mm f/2.8 on the market
• it’s also smaller than the previous version
