The last real “photocentric” APS-C E-mount cameras were announced back in 2019. They were the A6100 and A6600 . We got two more APS-C cameras after them but they were made for Bloggers ( ZV-E10 ) and the Filmmakers ( FX30 ).

Photographyblog tested the new Sony lens and concluded:
We can still remember the days when a 24-70mm lens was considered to be daringly wide in comparison with the usual 28-70mm models, so it’s perhaps no surprise to see the debut of a standard zoom that starts at 20mm in the form of the new Sony FE 20-7
