Back to some Sony rumors!
ILCE-QX1:
Tomorrow (Sept. 3) at 16:30 Berlin time Sony will announce the new ILCE-QX1 smartphone mount module. It likely has the current A6000 24 megapixel APS-C sensor and will cost 300 Euro (450 Euro with the 16-50mm zoom lens). Don’t know if such a “thing” will sell or not. But Chapeau to Sony for being that innovative!
FS700II:
Filmaker.cn leaked the first image of the $10,000 E-mount 4K FS700II camcorder. 
A part of those two new cameras Sony/Zeiss will announce plenty of E-mount lenses at Photokina:
16-35mm f/4.0 Zeiss
28-135mm powerzoom
85mm FE prime Zeiss (available 2015)
35mm f/2.0 Loxia
50mm f/2.0 Loxia

I will for sure buy one, this is what I was waiting for, since it is in some way similar to a Gopro system with interchangeable lenses. Hope it will be able to shoot raw and not overheat on video recording. If it stays cool, my quadcopter will get one attached.
If qx1 can shoot raw, it will sell a lot. It’s a great innovation indeed.
more lenses – when will we see a 24-70mm F2.8 and 70-200mm F2.8 for the Emount – not the FE mount – so a smaller and less expensive version of the FE 70-200mm F4.0 – and F2.8 for the A6000 etc
On the one hand, you can’t help but marvel at the imagination and boldness in releasing products like this.
But on the other, if you’re still waiting for lenses you want or need to get the most out of a Sony camera, I don’t see how not to feel anger at the company for spending resources on an adapter to attach lenses that don’t yet exist to a cell phone that few would prefer to use than the camera they just purchased.
