New Sony FF E-mount camera to be announced on May 28. And one more camera coming later!

On 9 May, Sony registered another new camera in China. We now have a total of two cameras that have been registered and should be announced soon:

  • Registered on April 21: Code “WW934774” with dual band Wifi support and manufactured in China
  • Registered on May 9: Code “WW697160” with dual band Wifi support and manufactured in Japan

One of the codes is for the new camera with integrated tilting EVF (just like on this GX9), which is to be announced on May 28. We don’t yet know what this second camera will be: A7V, FX3II or finally a successor of this dream camera. What do you want?
