I have been told the Sony ZV E-mount camera price will be around $899 (900 Euro). Journalists are already testing it and they told me the announcement was expected to happen on May 26 but for unknown reasons it was postponed by a couple of days (maybe because of the Panasonic announcement?).
Below some quick thoughts by Gaston Shutters about the new camera:
Sony A1 at BHphoto . Adorama . Amazon . Focuscamera . FotoErhardt DE . Calumet DE . Fotokoch DE . Park UK . WexUK . Join the Sony A1 Facebook group here .
While many of us are still waiting for the A1 to be in Stock here are two new reviews:
3D-Kraft published their take on the Sony A1:
The Sony A1 was not just a minor incremental step, like we saw before in the A7 / A7R / A7S / A9
Today only you save $120 on the Samyang 45mm FE lens sold by Adorama (Click here) . There are also a ton of photo deals at BHphoto (Click here) .
Multiple journalists were first told the camera would be announced on May 26th. But the announcement has been postponed by a bit. So the camera will NOT be announced next week. Unlike my previous mistake on rumors this isn’t a mistake….it’s Sony that changed the date and journalists out there know it ;)
I also have been told the camera name starts with “ZV” and is followed by three numbers. So it really is a sort of E-mount version of the ZV

Press text:

Next week Sony will announce their first of the line new APS-C E-mount Vlogger branded camera. It has a compact A5xxx shape with no integrated viewfinder, it has similar A6xxx features (24MP sensor, IBIS and so forth) and the new A7c fully articulating screen.
So it’s not a successor or replacement of any current cameras. This is branded as a new High End Vlogger camera.
The one part that was wrong of my Sony APS-C camera rumors was that this would be a new High End camera. But indeed my source got mislead by Sony marketing that will present this camera as a higher end vlogger camera and the first of a new line. So this is not the A6660 replacement. And as far as I know there is no A6600 replacement coming any time soon.
So again, my apologies for that piece of wrong rumor. Understand that Sony
The past weeks there was a heavy fight between comment users. I tried to remove those comments all times I could find some spare time. But now to all of them my last warning: Whoever keeps writing personal insults to other commenters will be banned as from now.
So please let’s keep it civilized.
Thanks ;)
