RUMOR: Sony ZV E-mount camera price will be around $899 (900 Euro)
I have been told the Sony ZV E-mount camera price will be around $899 (900 Euro). Journalists are already testing it and they told me the announcement was expected to happen on May 26 but for unknown reasons it was postponed by a couple of days (maybe because of the Panasonic announcement?).
Below some quick thoughts by Gaston Shutters about the new camera:
New Sony A1 test
Sony A1 at BHphoto. Adorama. Amazon. Focuscamera. FotoErhardt DE. Calumet DE. Fotokoch DE. Park UK. WexUK. Join the Sony A1 Facebook group here.
While many of us are still waiting for the A1 to be in Stock here are two new reviews:
3D-Kraft published their take on the Sony A1:
The Sony A1 was not just a minor incremental step, like we saw before in the A7 / A7R / A7S / A9 series – it’s the sum of all increments merged together in one body. For someone like me, who is creating content in the photo- as well as in the video-section, it allows to reduce the camera bag to just one body now instead of two. Although not earning money with that gear professionally, this was justification enough for me as an enthusiast to spend such a horrific amount of money.
The camera has so much potential – like opening the option to generate even better 4K – 12 bit – 4:4:4 video footage from 8K 10 bit 4:2:0 – that still has to be explored more deeply. 8K video also can replace shooting photo bursts in many situations with almost no time limitation and less storage space consumption. Amazing also the pixel shift modes which are able to deliver stunning 200 MP stills – if you use glass that is capable of that resolution.
I also like the color science improvements, the new picture profiles and the AF performance although there was still some room for improvements in my shooting situations.
And here a new video from Gary Friedman:

The new Sony E-mount vlogger camera name starts with “ZV” and announcement has been postponed form the original May 26 date
Multiple journalists were first told the camera would be announced on May 26th. But the announcement has been postponed by a bit. So the camera will NOT be announced next week. Unlike my previous mistake on rumors this isn’t a mistake….it’s Sony that changed the date and journalists out there know it ;)
I also have been told the camera name starts with “ZV” and is followed by three numbers. So it really is a sort of E-mount version of the ZV-1.
Also, I have been told by those journalists that this camera is really nothing exciting :(
