Sony launched a teaser for a product launch on Jan 26: “The one never seen“. I guess it’s their new 8K camera….named A9III or A9x or whatever :)

Rumored Sony A9III specs:

• Sony will launch a new High End camera in Q1 2021.
• 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 sources will try to give me some more hints the coming weeks…stay tuned on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and chat with me live on Discord to not miss any rumors!

Fujirumors keeps spoiling all details about the super announcement day from Fuji (on Jan 27). Here are the latest rumors:

Fujifilm GFX100S No Vertical Battery Grip Option
Next Fujifilm Film Simulation to be Called NOSTALGIC NEGATIVE
Fujifilm GFX100S Explained: Fixed EVF, Only One Top Dial (PSAM), No D-Pad, Top LCD, No Humpback and More

CameraJabber guessed these Sony A7IV specs. I bet it is going to be very close to the real deal. Question is only…when will Sony announce the camera? I guess it will be here in Spring!

Here is a roundup of the latest rumors we haven’t published on MR:

Fujirumors reports the Fujifilm X-E4 Will Not Have IBIS.
Dclife doubts Panasonic will announce a new G9 successor due to new strict marketing goals (43rumors).
35mm f/0.95 Lenses Coming For Canon RF and EF-M Mounts (CanonWatch).
No Fujinon XF300mmF4 and XF500mmF5.6 Coming in 2021 (Fujirumors).
Irix f/1.4 lens for Fujifilm GFX Additional Specs, Product Images and Sample Images (Fujirumors).

DpreviewTV accidentally leaked the new 35mm f/1.4 GM lens. They tried to hide their mistake by blurring the focal length info. But you see that it has a f/1.4 aperture but this isn’t the 24mm GM because the close focus of the 24mm lens is 0,24cm while this one shows 0,27cm.

Fujirumors reports the new GFX100S will cost $5,999. Full info so far:

102 Megapixel BSI sensor
phase detection
IBIS
$5,999
Announcement Jan 27?

this is getting closer to Full Frame price territory…do you think it will be enough to compete against the Canon EOS-R5 and Sony A7rIV?

SonyAlphaRumors shared the first possible A7IV specs:

All we will get from Sony this year is the full FX6 E-mount camcorder specs announcement on November 17. I know it’s disappointing but the good news I can give you is that our sources shared correctly the FX6 launch date. And the very same sources are sure 2021 will be exciting! They all confirm the first camera we will get is a new A9 model (rumors here). There will be also a new 16mm f/1.8 GM lens (rumors here). There will be also a new entry level camera…maybe RX? (rumors here).

IN Q2 at earliest (Q3 more likely) we will also get the new A7IV. Here are the specs I got today from a usually very good source:

• A74 will have a new sensor with faster readout and will not recycle the 24 MP one. My source told me it will be in the 30-32 MP region
• The EVF will have 3,69 Mdots and not 5,76 Mdots
• Most probably the LCD will also be on the cheap side but the image quality and AF will be top notch
• The video will certainly be 4K 60p and will feature the new menus.
• The price will be in the $2499 region

Makes sense…and I am happy to hear we will finally step up from the usual 24MP sensor!
