Sony has teased the launch of a new camera set to be announced on January 26 at 7 AM Pacific Time. No details other than the timing of the announcement have been revealed, but rumors claim it to be a new a9 series camera.
There are reports that multiple Sony E-Mount cameras are going to come to market this year, with at least two recently registered in Japan. That said, a recent factory fire may be delaying their launch.
Two unnamed Sony cameras have reportedly passed FCC Certification for Wi-Fi compliance in the United States. While very short on details, the filing does give some indication of what to expect from Sony early next year.
Astrophotographers take note: according to a new report, Sony is working on "the world's fastest 16mm full-frame lens." The rumored 16mm f/1.8 GM will be the fastest and widest prime lens in the Sony G Master arsenal, and one of the fastest ultra-wide primes on the market.
Over the past week, multiple rumor sites have reported that Sony is actively developing a new Sony a9 full-frame mirrorless camera that could be described as a "Canon R5 Killer." The camera will allegedly feature a 50MP sensor, shoot 8K video, and be released in Q1 of 2021.
Sony might have some interesting gear in the works. According to the latest rumors, the company is planning to debut a new line-up of "super-compact" full-frame a7 and a9 cameras aimed at vlogging and travel. And the first one, dubbed the "Sony a7C", will arrive next month.
According to proven sources cited by Sony Alpha Rumors, Sony management have decided to delay the rumored announcement of the long-awaited Sony a7S III full-frame mirrorless camera until mid-to-end of July. This will allow Sony to announce their camera after Canon is expected to release the EOS R5 and R6, instead of the other way around.
The Sony a7S III has been anticipated for so long that it's become a myth in and of itself. It's the unicorn camera. A symbol for infinite delay and a victim of impossibly high expectations. But if the latest round of reports from "trusted sources" are to be believed, it's finally almost here.
Sony is preparing to add an ultra-wide "holy trinity" lens to its G Master lineup, the 12-24mm f/2.8 GM, but don't get too excited. According to the most recent rumors, not only will the lens be delayed, it also slated to cost thousands more than its direct competitors.
Over the past year, the Sony a7S III has been elevated from "long-awaited" to "unicorn" or "mythical" status. Many are wondering if it'll ever be released at this point. But if the latest leak is to be believed, the camera is in the works and currently being tested in the wild.
The end of August is going to be a busy time for the APS-C market. Not only will Canon reportedly announce the EOS 90D and an EOS M6 successor, it seems Sony is planning to release not one, but two new APS-C E-Mount cameras, including the long-awaited a6500 successor.
A highly reliable source revealed something exciting for Sony full-frame E-Mount shooters. Apparently, the company is planning to debut an affordable 85mm FE lens, very likely f/1.8, for all of you portrait shooters on a budget.
It's easy to forget that Sony doesn't just make full-frame mirrorless cameras, but they do. And it sounds like Sony is about to remind you that they do with an impressive successor to the Sony a99 that they plan to release "very soon."
We weren't kidding when we said the Sony rumor mill was roiling. Hours after more details surfaced about Sony's upcoming 'pro' FF E-Mount camera (possibly called the a9), an intriguing list of specs for a Sony a7 replacement appeared online.
And the best part? It's possible this a7 replacement will arrive officially within the next few days!
After a rather bland Photokina and PhotoPlus for Sony, it’s no surprise that they’re cooking up something really great for the photography world behind the scenes. And while we don't have any more concrete news about the rumored medium format camera in the works, a very reliable rumor says to expect a new, pro level full-frame E-Mount within the next 3 months!
New whisperings in the rumor mill are giving fans of Sony's E-Mount APS-C cameras (you know, the ones that used to be called NEX) something to look forward to in 2015. No, it's not the a6100, we're talking about a true-blue followup to the NEX-7, supposedly called the a7000.
It looks like Canon isn't the only one ready to re-start the dreaded Megapixel Wars with a high megapixel camera that has been all but confirmed to exist. Nope, fresh info from highly trusted sources claims that Sony will be jumping into the fray as well with a 46MP full-frame camera to be announced at the beginning of 2015.
When the Panasonic FZ-1000 was announced, it was obvious to everybody that Panasonic was going for the Sony RX20's jugular... metaphorically speaking. It was cheaper, could shoot 4K and had a longer (albeit darker) lens.
Well, it seems Sony is ready to fight back, and soon, with a 4K-capable RX20.
In a rumor that is either wishful thinking at its best, or a preview of a VERY exciting Photokina announcement from Sony, an anonymous source told sonyalpharumors that the massive electronics company -- which, by the way, has made a name for itself as an innovator in the world of photography -- is working on a $1,000 NEX-sized full-frame camera.
With only a 12-megapixel sensor and ISO expandable all the way up to 409,600 for both stills and video, everybody knew that that the Sony A7s was going to be a low-light beast... and yet the performance is still taking us by surprise.
Yesterday a short demo video shot at NAB was shared online to a plethora of "oohs" and "aahs," and today, the Sony How To YouTube channel released yet another mind-blowing demonstration of the camera's night-vision capabilities.
It's been a very interesting 48 hours for rumors, and it may have just reached its climax. According to sonyalpharumors, there is a brand spankin' new Sony full-frame E-Mount camera set to launch on Sunday!
One of the stranger/more exciting rumors we've run across in 2014 just surfaced over at sonyalpharumors. According to the website, two separate sources have received information about a Sony medium format camera to be announced in 5-6 months -- a camera that will be 'completely different' from the other CMOS medium format shooters revealed in recent months.
Well that was quick... only seven months after the E-Mount a3000 made its debut, it looks like Sony already has a followup ready to release. And thank to sonyalpharumors we get to look at a few product shots of the camera and what looks to be a full official list of specs.
It's been over a year since the last Sony A-Mount camera was announced, but it looks like that dry spell may be over soon. According to the ever-reliable sonyalpharumors, a successor to Sony's A77 SLT is on the way, and it's going to pack some serious speed.
It seems Sony's intent on raining all over Leica's parade. First, the company releases the A7 and A7R -- AF-equipped mirrorless full-frame alternatives to Leica's cameras -- and now Sony is supposedly working on a black & white-only full-frame shooter of its own to compete against the M Monochrome.
No doubt there are both Sony fans and detractors reading this right now. But if there's one thing even the detractors can't say about Sony at the moment, it's that the company isn't innovating.
Sony's upcoming lens cameras (SmartShots?) are so out there CNET didn't even believe they were real, the rumored full-frame NEX camera has the mirrorless crowd abuzz, and now, it seems the company has yet another "extraordinary" invention on the way.
