Sony Hong Kong announcement at 12.15 London time (likely for the A77II).


This is the Sony Hong Kong event flyer which says there will be a product announcement at 19.15-20.30 local time (That’s 12.15-13.30 London time). Like I told you yesterday do not expect too much from it. It may be that they show the A77II only. The A77II also got announced today only(!) in Japan (Source: DC.watch).


The one real big announcement to follow will be made next week on May 15! We will see the new RX100M3 and likely also the final A7s pricing. And hopefully Sony will also shows us the first image of the new Zeiss 16-35mm f/4.0 FE lens too!

Reminder: Sony announcement tomorrow (May 7). And RX100M3 announced on May 15?


So far I got info about two more Sony announcements on May 7 and May 15. From what I heard the Sony A7s pricing and the RX100M3 will be unveiled. But I am yet not sure what exactlyw ill be announced when. The May 7 event flyer from Sony Hong Kong shows a big Alpha Logo. But I don’t know if they will just show the new A77II or also announce the A7s pricing. A trusted source told me he heard the RX100M3 will be unveiled on May 15.


A7s pricing: Sony is spreading different price info that’s why you didn’t see me posting an SR5 rumor yet. Store owners told me prices between $1800 and $5000. And they claim they got the info from Sony managers. So you see, better to wait for the real pricing announcement :)


New Zeiss 16-35mm f/4.0 FE lens: Maybe Sony will show this lens for the first time after tomorrow along the A7s pricing announcement.


RX100M specs: Nothing has changed from the previous info I got. The specs I share now are 99% correct:

20MP sensor (same as RX100M2 model)

ISO 125-25600

24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 lens

Built in View finder (SVGA OLED Tru-Finder 1440k dots)

Tiltable screen (180 degrees up)

Record in XAVC S format (Same format of the Sony A7s but with no 4K output option).

Almost same size and weight as the current RX100/M2 models.

I have been told all other specs are the same of the current RX100II model.

Price is said to be around 800-850 Euro in Europe. Should be around $800-850 in USA (US price is my guess)
