Another Sony A7sIII leak ahead of todays announcement:

L-rumors spotted a new rumor posted by the Japanese blog Nomadly. This website claims to have found a Panasonic document accidentally listening a new unreleased DC-S5 camera. No other info was shared on the document.

I am pretty certain such a camera is in the works….also because Panasonic has said they are working on this :)

As expected Sony continues with the philosophy of small incremental updates on their A7 bodies. I will run naked on the street the day they come out with something really new :)
