Brace for impact: Sony will announce a new Alpha camera on Monday!

With Nikon and Canon NOT announcing a Full Frame camera at the CP+ show it will be Sony taking once more the lead: They will announce a new Alpha camera on Monday afternoon in Las Vegas. It’s still a secret what could be announced but we know the choice is between the new A7III and a new A6xxx model.

A major announcement will be made next week by Sigma: They will show their first FE lens prototypes at the CP+ show!

Samsung teases a new Galaxy launch as a “reimagined camera”

Samsung posted a new teaser for the new Galaxy launch on February 25. There are two interesting hints they gave us:

1) Their text says “The Camera reimagined”

2) The image on their newsletter shows an NX lens

The message of this teaser is clear: highlight the fact that the new Galaxy may have a new class leading camera module. Still, it’s nice to see them reuse a NX lens image. I still hope the day will come they will revive the NX system (just a tiny tiny tiny hope of mine).

Sony will announce a new Alpha Camera on February 26

After Fuji, Olympus and Panasonic we will also get a new camera from Sony!

On February 26 they will announce a new Alpha camera model. This should be finally the long awaited A7 mark III. Specs shouldn’t be revolutionary. 24MP, same or similar A9 autofocus sensor, 7fps and a price tag at or just under $2,000.

There is yet no word about a possible new FE lens announcement too.
