I don't see it being an A9, not with the announcement of that A99 II at Photokina. I would expect them to wait at least until the Spring for an A9. If they are going to update a camera, the one that really needs updating is the A7 II. The sensor and the video in that camera is a bit underwhelming and yet it should be a very good selling camera. If that camera had a 36MP Native ISO 50 4th generation Sony sensor (like the D810) and had 4K video, it would be a lot more attractive. They could also add the touch screen from the A6500. If they priced that at $2,000, which wouldn't be unthinkable as it isn't that new of a sensor, then I think that would be a stellar product.
I think the 16-35 GM is a likely new lens, and a 24 f/1.4 GM could come as well. Then there is 135mm that definitely needs to be addressed. An E-mount revision of the 135 f/1.8 would be much welcomed. Finally on the cheaper side a inexpensive 85 f/2.8 based on the A mount lens I think would sell well and give a cheap trio of 28 f/2, 50 f/1.8, and 85 f/2.8 that would not only be cheap but quite small and still have decent performance.
We'll see, but if they could do all that then I think they would have improved their position considerably....Show more →
Yes, this makes sense also. The A7II could sell well and it is very long in the tooth.
