And now finally Sony: Press announcement on October 25 at 10am

In the past years Sony used to give us plenty of new cameras every year. But these times are over and also Sony has slowed down their mad product release cylce. This year we only got two cameras: The Sony A9 and the Sony RX10m4 (we don’t count the RX0 as a camera for the mass market).

But finally there is something more to be announced on October 25 at 10am in NYC. New A7 camera(s) coming?
