Sony will live stream the CES product presentation on January 5th. Traditionally Sony uses the CES event to announce Cybershot cameras. Only once they announced a mirrorless system camera (the A5000 two years ago). And there is yet no hint or rumor about a possible A5200 or A6000 announcement at CES. I guess CP+ in February is the far more likely event to introduce new E-mount cameras and lenses.

I am also wondering what happened to the “large prime” release teased for late 2015 on the official Sony roadmap…
