Sony ZV-E10II got registered in China…announcement soon!
Today Sony officially registered a new camera in China. It has the code “WW293541” and 5.1GHz/2.4GHz wireless network & Bluetooth support. I am 100% sure this is for the new ZV-E10II. Which means announcement will happen within the next 2-3 months!

I actually heard there might be one more announcement btu I got no details about what exactly to expect…
First (likely fake) Canon Ql fixed lens camera rumors are going around the web…but is Canon truly going to make a retro model?
My take on the latest Canon QL rumor is that the source is very unreliable. So while Canon might be really developing a retro model I do not think the spec we read are true. They are probably just a good guess made by” someone” to get som traffic :)
