The very same three sources who shared ot us the Zv1 specs and images (leaked yesterday here) also told us that in July (Note: updated timeline info) Sony will announce this:
At the moment I have received no A7sII successor specs. But let’s hope it has the fully articulating screen on the side like the ZV1 has.
But wait…there is more!
There is also a rumor about a “third surprise” product. But it’s not clear yet if this product will be announced together with the A7sII or on a second event in June/July. What I can tell you yet about this “surprise” product is that it’s not an A7IV.
I am working to be able to give you soon the info about this “surprise” product!

Sony reconsidered published those two graphs that highlight the negative impact of the COVID-19 outbreak. He writes:
I could see a scenario where Alpha sales collapse by more than 50% to 1.2 million for FY20.
The only saving grace for Sony will be if the world is back to some semblance of normalcy by fall and that consumer appetite and spending roars back during Q3 FY20, the ever-important holiday season. Even then, will global or local travel have recovered to a meaningful degree? What if there is the feared second wave of COVID-19? For that very same reason, Sony and other companies are holding back future projections for Q1 though I could see that expending till 2021.
I should also point out, it’s the optimist in me that’s predicting 1.2 million sales. I can envision a scenario in which Sony ships 800K cameras total in FY20. If that were to happen, it would trigger a significant roadmap shift within Sony (and other camera makers) as they face a market that went from have a light appetite for cameras to nearly none. Suddenly, Sony wouldn’t need five different cameras not because there aren’t meaningful differences between the lines, but because the costs to maintain them wouldn’t justify the market.

This is the first blurry picture of the Sony ZV1 !!!
You clearly see the bigger grip and the fully articulating screen on the side. The source also told me this: It has an integrated ND filter!!!
Thanks a lot to the source! Hope to hear more from you in the future :)
Like I told you many times before a much bigger announcement will follow in June. More about that next week on SAR!
