Sony has registered a new camera under the code name WW942051

By PR admin | Published: September 2, 2019


A month ago Nokishita reported (also covered here on PhotoRumors) that Sony registered a new camera under the code name WW942051 (with 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth). There is no indication if this will be a high-end model or just a regular point and shoot. SonyAddict speculates that this registration could be for the Sony a7S III or Sony a9 II models, but as usual we don’t have any reliable leaks or rumors to confirm this.
