What to expect from Sony in 2017: new 70+ Megapixel camera, Dual card slot A7III, STF lens and 16-35mm GM
In 2016 Sony had quite a weird release strategy. We did not get any new FF E-mount camera but instead we got two very similar APS-C E-mount cameras. First the A6300 and then the A6500. Well 2017 promises to be quite different with a focus on FF cameras. These are the new cameras and lenses we can hope to get in 2017:
- Sony A7 mark III. Release before Summer. Has new 24MP sensor with improved AF and dual card slot
- Sony High End Professional camera (named A7rIII or A9): 70+ Megapixel sensor, duals slot card. Priced like the 1DX2 and D5.
- 16-35mm f/2.8 GM lens
- STF FE autofocus lens
- Telephoto zoom lens (like 70-400mm f4-5.6 G)
- telephoto prime lens (like 300mm f2.8G)
- wideangle lens (like 24mm zeiss)
- standard zoom lens (like 24-105mm)
And quite some folks on the web is joking about a new A6700 release too :)
