Foreign news websites have updated rumors about several new Sony equipment in the future, including the much-anticipated A7S IV, FX50, FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS II, etc.
Even though CP+ 2024 has ended, rumors about Sony’s new equipment still show no signs of stopping. Only a few days ago, news of four new lenses came out, and now there are even more rumors about several new cameras and lenses. Foreign news websites have updated rumors about Sony’s new future equipment, including the much-anticipated A7S IV, FX50, FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS II, etc. The following is a summary of news about several new equipment.
FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS II
Foreign sources claimed that they received information from two employees in Sony’s support department that Sony will release a new FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS lens that is smaller, lighter, and has sharper image quality. It may be the FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS II, but there is no detailed release date and price information yet.
The current FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS was released in 2017. Judging from the time, it is not surprising at all that there are rumors of a successor version. However, considering that Sony only launched the FE 20-70mm F4 G last year, will the FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS II be released this year? To be honest, I still have to raise a question mark.
A7S IV
Foreign sources claim that Sony has developed a new sensor that will be used in new cameras such as A7S IV, FX4, and FX8 in the future. It adopts a stacked design and has very good high ISO image purity and better dynamic range performance. . And it can also support up to 4K 240P and FHD 480P recording.
Currently in the Sony camp, the products that use stacked photosensitive elements are mainly the A9 and A1 series, and the A7 series has so far been equipped with back-illuminated photosensitive elements. If the A7S IV is indeed equipped with a stacked photosensitive element in the future, it will be the first in the A7 series. As for whether the result is really like this? Let us wait and see together!
FX50
Foreign sources claimed that they talked with Sony Cinema Line product managers and learned that there should be no new plans for FX3 II or FX6 II in the short term. After all, the current FX3 and FX6 are still highly competitive in terms of specifications, and they still have considerable potential after firmware updates. However, when asked whether Cinema Line’s next product would be an FX50 or S35 format camera, the other party replied: “No comment!”
The current FX3 and FX6 will be released in 2021 and 2020 respectively. As rumored, these two cameras are still very competitive today, but they have built-in AI processing units for rising newcomers. The new FX series The camera does need this update. Combined with previous rumors, we believe that the probability of FX50 being released this year should be high. As for how credible the rumors are? Let time prove everything!
