(SR5) No joke. Sony decides to split the announcement. A77M2 on May 1 and RX100M3 a couple of weeks later (likely May 15).


A77MII invitation from Hong Kong


Well, this is really a surprise. I have been told by many trusted sources that Sony decided the very last days to split the announcement of the new cameras! The A77M2 is coming in a couple of hours (10am London time) while the RX100M3 will be announced later (likely May 15).


Add to this that Sony also decided to make different announcements in different regions. As you can see from the Hong Kong flyer (image below) the A77MII will be announced on may 7 in Hong Kong. A bit of a mess I know :)

(SR5) A77M2 and RX100M3 specs reminder. Lens mystery.


Tomorrow (May 1) Sony will announce the new A77M2 (first A-mount camera after the 14 months old A58), RX100M3 and likely the final A7s pricing (around $3499 AUSD). I am still not sure about the two “new” lenses mentioned by one trusted source. The other sources haven’t seen them and it may be the source just meant the slightly updated 18-55mm kit lens and the FE Powerzoom. The best thing we can hope is that he might meant two new FE lenses that Sony could unveil on their updated roadmap. Anyway, these are the specs about the two upcoming cameras:


A77M2 A-mount:

new 24 megapixel Sensor

79 af points, 15 cross points

very Fast Tracking performance

12fps up to 60 Frames/ 25 frames RAW & JPG, RAW 26 frames

Low light AF, f/2.8 vertical line sensor, new algorithm


RX100M3:

20MP sensor (same as RX100M2 model)

ISO 125-25600

24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 lens

Built in View finder (SVGA OLED Tru-Finder 1440k dots)

Tiltable screen (180 degrees up)

Record in XAVC S format (Same format of the Sony A7s but with no 4K output option).

Almost same size and weight as the current RX100/M2 models.

I have been told all other specs are the same of the current RX100II model.

Price is said to be around 800-850 Euro in Europe. Should be around $800-850 in USA (US price is my guess)
