(SR3) UPDATED: Sony A9II with new 33-36MP sensor to be announced in late September?

Share

Back in July a new source told me the Sony A7rIV would be announced soon and I didn’t really believe him until the very last second. Now I know better and I will take him a bit more seriously from now on :)

Well today he contacted me again and told me quite some big news. But this time he gave me a warning that unlike the A7rIV rumor he shared this time he is yet not 100% sure about this. This is  what he “heard”:

a9ii announcement should be in about 1-2 weeks. 33-36mp
mind blowing specs, but i don’t know much more than this
want to go big for the olympics phenomenal specs

UPDATE:

Same source said the announcement will be made in late September. While some sports photographers will already see the camera before the announcement in 1-2 weeks in a “closed door” event.

All we know with 100% certainty is that a high end camera will be announced soon. This camera got already officially registered  in Asia:

But I am still completely uncertain if this is the A9II or A7sIII.  Yes we need the A7sIII but it’s also true that Sony has to respond to the new Nikon D6 which will be announced on September 5. I guess that Nikon made everything possible to outshine the current Sony A9. A new Sony A9II with groundbreaking sensor tech could kill it at birth!

Stay tuned for more rumors soon!

Got a rumor to share?

Sony will live stream two press conferences soon: September 5 (IFA) and September 13 (IBC)

Share

Sony has announced two live stream events:

1) At the IFA in Berlin they will announce new consumer products (no new E-mount  gear expected). I will post the livestream video on Sept 5 on SAR (you can already see it at the bottom  of this pots)

2) At the IBC show on September 13 there will be another livestream event. The Sony A7sII was announced at the 2015 IBC show. So “THEORETOCALLY” this could be a candidate for a possible A7sII  successor announcement. But I have heard no rumor that would indicate this is the case. It’s a lot more likely Sony will announce new camcorders and maybe the FX9 FF  E-mount camcorder too.

Still, fact is that I heard a new Full Frame E-mount camera will be announced soon. But it might be that there  will be a special third livestream event especially for this one!

(SR5) One more “high end” Full Frame E-mount camera will be announced very soon! Is it the A7sIII or A9II ?

Share

Nokishita reports that  this camera will have the same Wifi capabilities of the new A7rIV.

Sources confirmed that there will be one more Full Frame camera announcement very soon! They are 100%  sure it’s Full Frame and a new “BIG ONE” camera :)

There are two possible candidates. Place your bet:

I believe the new Highe End FF camera will be the...

I am now unsure if this is the A7sIII (or A7sIV) or the A9II or…crazy speculation: both are the same camera?  Anyway, I got some early unconfirmed specs that I will post soon on SAR. Stay tuned!
