Sony A7rV (and another Zv-1 similar camera) will be launched before the A9III

Share

We are still in the midst of the worldwide sensor shipment crisis, so timing still is a bit unsure. But from what I gathered til now this is what we can expect in 2022:

  1. A new ZV-1 alike styled camera and a new A7rIV are going to be announced before the A9III
  2. And only if sensor supply issues permit it, the A9III will come as last camera of the year (or in early 2023 if things go bad)

I have been told there is room for some surprises, but I don’t know what’s meant with this. I hope to get more tidbits about this soon.

Ahead of the busy Sony A7rV and A9III announcement year…You can make first contact with me on youtube :)

It’s 14 years I work on the rumor websites, and I kept my person and life always private. But something changed the past year. A couple of events that made me change my mind. I think it’s time to create a clear interactive community. I am tired of sitting alone in the dark :)

Please subscribe my youtube channel and also follow our community on Discord. Thanks!

CIPA expects camera market to shrink further this year: minus 6.1%

CIPA published their market forecast and it is grim! The camera market is expected to shrink further by 6.1%:

  • CIPA announced on the 22nd that the worldwide shipment of digital cameras in 2022 will decrease 6.1% from 2009 to 7.85 million units. It is expected to fall below the previous year’s level for the fifth consecutive year. The shortage of parts such as semiconductors is expected to continue to affect production for 22 years. Compared to the peak of 10 years, it will be about 1/15.
  • The number of integrated lenses such as compact digital cameras is expected to decrease by 15% to 2.56 million units, and the number of interchangeable lens cameras such as single-lens reflex cameras and mirrorless cameras is expected to decrease by 1.1% to 5.29 million units.

Indeed I told you many times already that Sony had to push forward their product releases. The new ZV styled camera, the A7rV and A9III are all expected to be on market from second half of the year at best (the A9III might even be on market by early next year).
