Sony is going to announce a new High End APS-C camera in May…but will it be as good as a Fuji X-T? Unlikely…

There has been a long call for Sony to get serious with their APS-C cameras. Don’t get me wrong, the A6600 (image on top) is a good camera filled with tech. But ergonomically and also feature wise it cannot match the also very beautiful Fuji X-T4.

SAR now reports that Sony will announce the A6600 successor in late May. Question: Will Sony have learned and make a nice handling high end camera? I bet they didn’t :(

There are no rumored specs other than a new 30MP sensor. I guess it will record 4k60p like any higher end camera nowadays…
