Sony did not announce any photography products at the CES and CP+ shows

By PR admin | Published: February 13, 2015

Sony-CES-2012
Sony did not announce any new products during their press conference yesterday at the CP+ show in Japan.

The company’s last “serious” announcement was the a7II camera at the end of November.

I personally would love to see a new Sony RX2 camera or at least a firmware update for the RX1.

Update – here are few videos of the new Sony FE lenses:
