Sony Digital Camera WW111327 Registration Found. Sony now has three new cameras coming soon!
Nokishita has spotted another camera registration with the code “WW111327”. We know there is one high end camera coming (A9III?) soon and the A7IV a bit later. There may be a new RX camera too. In total Sony now has three registred codes for yet unreleased new cameras:
- WW186333 (no 5Ghx Wifi which suggests this might be an RX camera)
- WW728473
- WW111327
Stay tuned on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and chat with me live on Discord to not miss any rumors!

Rumored Sony A9III specs:
- Sony will launch a new High End camera in Q1 2021. Maybe at the January 11 CES show (which is all digital this year).
- It will be named as an A9x series camera and not A7x (not sure if it’s “A9s” or “A9III”)
- It has a new ~50 megapixel sensor
- 8k30p video confirmed with no overheating. It’s still an “infant” 8k mode…meaning it’s not 8k60 which would be crazy and there will be limitations in the quality you can record internally.
- Other specs similar to A7sIII (EVF, autofocus, and so forth)
- At least $1,500 more expensive than the EOS-R5 (but price hasn’t be finalized yet) Expect something like $4,999.

The new Meike 50mm f/1.2 FE lens is now in Stock at Amazon US and EU with fist $20 discount (and new review by Marc Alhadeff)
The new Meike 50mm f/1.2 FE lens is now in Stock at Amazon US, Amazon DE, Amazon UK, Amazon IT and Amazon FR.
A first review has been posted by Marc Alhadeff:
The Meike 50mm F1.2 (300 euros) is a nice 50mm that you will choose for its dreamy atmosphere at F1.2 and for the possibility to get tack sharp images as of F2.8. Compared to traditional 50mm F1.4, it will give you a smoother background blur at all apertures but will maybe be a little bit less sharp at F1.4 vs 50mm F1.4 competitor
