Every few months I receive a tip about the end of the Sony A-mount. At the same time rumors about a mystical successor of the Sony a99 camera are being reported by questionable sources/websites.

I can confirm that the picture of the Canon 5D Mark IV camera that circulated the Web few days ago was fake. How do I know? I talked to the person who photoshopped it. The camera and specs are still real and the official announcement should be coming soon (at the end of August).
