The year isn’t over yet: Sony has still a new E-mount camera announcement soon!
If you thought that after Photokina you could sit back and relax your boring no rumor time…well watch out! Sony is preparing one big announcement soon. Sometimes between late October and late November they will announce a new E-mount camera and probably the new 16-35mm f/2.8 FE GM lens too.
There is no info nor specs about the possible camera. it could be the A7III or A5300 or the long time rumored first camera of a new A9 E-mount camera series. Anyway, it’s going to be exciting!
