On April 24, two new Sony cameras were registered in China, adding to the anticipation surrounding upcoming announcements from the company. This brings the total to three newly registered models, with expectations of official releases in the next two to three months.
The first camera expected to debut is the Sony A7R VI, scheduled for May. This model is anticipated to feature a significant upgrade, with a new body and higher resolution. The second camera appears to be a new FX model, produced in Shanghai, a location known for assembling other FX cameras like the FX2. The third model lacks Wi-Fi 6, which indicates it might be an entry-level or compact camera. Speculation surrounds whether this will be a new APS-C camera or another version of the RX100 series.
Looking ahead, key dates for upcoming announcements include the Sony A7R VI in May, followed by either an APS-C or RX100 camera projected for June or July. Additionally, a new FX model, possibly the FX3II, is expected in August before the IBC show. This new model could feature a partially stacked sensor with resolutions of 16 or 18MP.
Sony plans to make further announcements later in the year, including another major camera reveal in November. Enthusiasts are advised to stay informed through updates and newsletters to catch the latest news on these developments.
