Latest rumor we got suggest that Sony is actually planing to release two new APS-C E-mount cameras this year. One is the A6100 and one is the high end A7000.

SonyAlphaRumors got some specs about the A7000 but I don’t know if these are really the final correct features:

Still ironing out the last kinks is needed, but it is likely to be announced soon. A possible date would be aug/sep.
•    The specifications showcase
•    Upgrade of the widely famed APS-C alpha6000
•    Newly developed 24MP sensor featuring backside illumination for increased sensitivity.  
•    In sensor HDR function including video for dynamic range up to 15.5EVs
•    196 phase detect auto focus points
•    Blazing 16fps continuous autofocus burst rate
•    Unlimited 4k video recording
•    Refined pop out  XGA OLED Tru-Finder
•    180 degree tilting 2.36M Dot  LCD monitor
•    Weather-Resistant Magnesium Alloy Body

By default the Camera will come with a new and improved Kit lens featuring 16-50mm F2.4-3.6
The camera set will be targeted to the professional consumer demanding uncompromised image quality in a small body. The target retail price will be set at1499$

Panasonic announced their new GX8 and as a rumor site we cannot rest and we have to talk about what’s next :)

So far we heard rumors about a late August (or early September) announcement from Olympus and very likely also from Sony.

While Olympus is almost certainly going to introduce the E-M10II it’s still unclear if Sony will at last announce the A7000 or announce something else (RX or so).

Let me know if you got some info about those announcements :)
