Two new Sony cameras rumored: RX0 replacement and another mirrorless in the first half of 2019

We finally have some reliable Sony rumors to report – Sony registered a new fixed camera under the code name WW151602:

WW151602

  • Digital camera
  • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed
  • Battery: NP-BJ1
  • AC adapter: AC-UUD12

The WW151602 is most likely a replacement for the current RX0 model (because of the Sony NP-BJ1 battery listed in the registration).

Nokishita also reports that Sony will announce at least one more mirrorless camera in the first half of 2019.

I updated the list of upcoming cameras/lenses.
