The next Sony announcement is scheduled for September 3. And it’s likely that after that we will have one more Sony announcement for new A and E-mount stuff. And there will be an exciting Zeiss E-mount lens announcement to follow too (announcement date yet unknown).
On September 3 Sony will announce:
1) QX30: with 30x zoom lens
2) QX1: E-mount QX module with APS-C sensor.

1st bloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
Here is something for you:

Those aren’t just tampons.
They’re olympic tampons!
><"
oh wait….QX E mount has APS-C sensor?
Now that’s something. Imagine that… with the 24mm E.. much better than anything Samsung made with their Galaxy cams….if, they can shoot RAW it will be a major thing.
Could you imagine the lag after each shot and then having the damn thing disconnect in the middle of the transfer. And generating enough heat to brand your hand with SONY in the process.
I actually start to really like the idea of having an extremely pocketable, yet powerful, APS-C sized camera with a prime glass (SEL35F18 or such).
This is not thing special, instead of wasting time. Sony please straight go with FF smartphone
I’d take an RX100 with a smartphone capabilities on Android for $1000 any day. Been waiting for 2 years 🙂
The phone function really needs to be addressed. Perhaps some iphone apps for flashes (the ones that emit light for illumination) as well?
My heart be still! I’ll probably have to visit my cardiologist prior to September 3rd to double-up on my heart meds. Not sure I can handle this excitement.
So what’s the final announcement? The head of Sony marketing to declare “F**k you, a-mount owners?” At least they’d stop beating around the bushes. ;^)
From what distance can you controle this units? Raw files? Is it silent? If Sony do this right, we could actually have some fun with this thing.
The pancake patents make a lot of sense if they are intended for the QX1. I think a complete pancake range would be good. 16, 20, 24, 35, 50, and if possible 85.
these pancakes lenses are stupid because the control of it is very slow.
sony should focus on something more important to us like IBIS, touchscreen display with 360 degrees flipping body on Full Frame body or A7000. Better lenses such as a high quality wide angle CZ lenses like 16mm F2 for APS-C sensors with mind blowing sharpness and little distortion.
Is this the new Flagship Sony camera?
Either the QX, the selfie curved sensor one, or the a5100 is since it’s what they plan to feature center stage at Photokina.
Seems like Sony is keeping the best till the last. I’m waiting for A99II.
Prepare to wait patiently for months…
Sure, an a99II pre-Photokina announcement could still happen but the trend line isn’t very encouraging. A couple months out that was the general buzz but I’ve noticed Andrea’s recent coverage now that we’re within Photokina’s shadow is to observe a-mount mentions become an afterthought, just a pro forma inclusion. This all started with the rumor of a possible 4th FE body coming out soon.
Sony has a lot of e-mount lens announcements expected pre-Photokina. That’s what I expect us to hear about maybe 5-10 days before the show starts. Maybe a single a-mount lens will pop up in that crowd yet won’t get my hopes up. But I wouldn’t think Sony would want to announce an a-mount body in a presser showcasing e-mount lenses which would steal the thunder of a system they’re putting all of their emphasis to pimp.
If Sony stiff-arms the a-mount at another major show I predict some wishful thinking it’s actually good news because Sony is obviously taking its time to do something really cool, really special. 4k! World-class high ISO! An espresso dispenser! The reality is they probably will release an a99II derivative of tech found in e-mounts and Nikons (e.g., d800/d810) for a long time. The real timing, of course, will be likely late fall just in time for a last minute rush to retailers for the Christmas season.
If Sony comes up with A99II and some new A-mount lenses at Photokina will be good enough for me. E-mount has helped Sony to gain interchangeable-lens-camera market share and I think it would be a fatal mistake if Sony now focuses its resources on A-mount – though I am an A-mount user.
I agree. Sony’s making a mistake in how they market a-mounts and I really hope I’m wrong. However, a year of getting pi$$ed on by Sony as an a-mount fan has made me pretty cynical.
It could be the Flag Chip.
It think it’s a typo. He needs to change the “p” to a “t”.
Hmm… Flagshit..?
Imagine that… a QX with E-mount and APS-C sensor .. How big it will be? How about I mount my E18-200 on it? Or a 70-200G via LA-EA4? 😎
(Again) who cares…. Where is the A99II ?
In our dreams…
You know nothing John snow
They will show you a hundred A99II, poor Ygritte T_T
Is this the Z3? That would be awesome.
Some lenses for E and A would not do too much bad.
As cameras go I only see need for A58 refresh. A99 & A7 are just right.
This is so terribly exciting
