Oh look what’s coming back: Two Sony APS-C cameras to be announced in late August?

The past years Sony has mainly focused all efforts on developing their Full Frame system. But not everyone likes to spend $2,000+ for a camera or a lot of money on BIG and EXPENSIVE FE glass.

Finally it seems like a glimpse of reason struck the Sony managers: SonyAlphaRumors reports that in late August Sony will launch two new APS-C E-mount cameras. One of them will be the A6500 successor. There is no info about the second model.

No specs are rumored yet but would it be too much to ask to get a Fuji X or Olympus OMD alike body??? Something that’s not a pain in the butt…ergonomically speaking?

This will be the first of the many late summer Camera/Lens announcements: Panasonic might announce new S lenses on August 14

We are going to get a ton of new cameras and lenses in August/September! And now we know where all will start:

L-rumors.com reports:

I just got word that there might be an official Panasonic event on August 14. No details yet about WHAT will be announced. But there is a chance we might get the 24-70mm f/2.8 S lens…

After the Panasonic announcement we will have Leica and Sony announcements in August. With Nikon-Canon announcements happening in September too!

Three new E-mount cameras to be announced very soon!

It was weird to see Sony not announce any new cameras back at Photokina 2018. Nikon, Canon, Panasonic had launched their first FF mirrorless cameras and Sony reacted with zero products. I guess they went back to the table to discuss what they could do to fight back. And finally we are going to see their answer:

Nokishita reports that Sony will launch three new E-mount cameras very soon. SonyAlpharumors reports that the first two cameras will be announced in late August with another camera announcement likely to follow in September/October.

There is no info about WHAT they might announce: But these two cameras would despereitely be needed: A7sIII and A6700!
