Reliable rumors about new Sony cameras are basically non-existent and the only way we get small bits and pieces of information for upcoming producsts is from press interviews with Sony executives. Here is what Sony manager Yosuke Aoki said in a recent interview in China about the Sony a7S III mirrorless camera (Google translated):
Question: Sony’s product line “R” series flagship high-pixel high-definition, but this time α7R IV video function also done a promotion, why not upgrade α7S series it?
Yosuke Aoki: α7S series are also in development, we disclose future plans. Different series of video capture products are functional point wide-ranging needs, but the functional characteristics of different video series is not the same. α7R IV pixels is very high, shoot video also brings a lot of advantages.
In previous interviews, Sony managers have given a variety of explanations regarding why the Sony a7S III camera is not yet released: “because all of the technology needed isn’t ready yet”, “still requires a lot of work” and “want to create something that goes beyond the expectations of our customers“.
Sony currently has three registered but not yet officially announced cameras.
