Sony FX6 will be announced on November 17. And yes Sony canceled the 16mm f/1.8 November launch :(
Sony officially launched a teaser for the Sony FX6 camcorder launch. The good news is that it means our rumors were spot on. The bad news is that the 16mm f/1.8 GM lens launch has now been confirmed to been delayed from November to very early 2021. Our source reported back on October 28:
The new GM lens that is ready (as you guessed correctly) and was planned to be announced “by surprise” on November 4th has indeed been moved to “early” 2021 due to production issues (production isn’t up to speed and can’t keep up).
On November 17th there will be the official presentation of FX6 and sadly enough that will be it for 2020. Next year will be more exciting.
Let’s speculate specs and release time for the new Sony A7IV. Will it be a “Mini-A7sIII” ?
When it comes to Sony we can be pretty certain the new Sony A7IV will not be a revolutionary camera. I expect this to be a sort of mini Sony A7sIII.
Possible release time:
Canon and Panasonic have released new nice $2,000-$2,500 cameras. But trusted sources told us Sony will announce the A7IV during the second half of 2021 only (no exact time frame given yet)
Possible specs (This should be an easy guess):
- 24MP sensor (there is a version with 30MP sensor but I think 24MP is the safe bet for now).
- 4k60P
- 5.76m-dot (same as A7rIV but not as good as the A7sIII)
- same A7sIII autofocus system
- dual SD slot (it won’t need the new Express mini cards)
- fully articulating selfie screen
- new Sony A7sIII menu system
- in general all expected layout and ergonomic improvements we got with the A7sIII
This would be a solid, expected improvement. And my guts tell me that my specs will be very accurate. What do you think?
