In August, camera manufacturers are working hard.

Sony images of several new products have been sent continuously, and a new wave of new products will be ushered in next week. Image Information Blog SonyAlphaRumors SAR Represented , Sony will release two 6 series machines this time.

According to SAR reports, Sony will hold a new product launch event between September 29 and September 30. This release may be the two APS-C format without a camera, the name may be α6700 and 66200. According to Sony’s forgotten naming rules, the Sony α6700 should be positioned higher than the α6500, and the α6200 might be the new entry-level machine to replace the α6000.

According to Sony’s previous release mode, the parameters and shape of the machine will not be exposed in advance, so SAR did not disclose too much on the parameters this time. However, SAR said that the α6700 is not exactly a newer version of the α6500, it is more like a combination of α6500 and α6400.

As seen from the speculation chart published by SAR, the α6700 has a richer key distribution than the α6500.

The button is added to the mode dial and dial of the α6700. The button on the mode dial is responsible for locking the dial, and the button on the dial is not marked. It may be a multi-function custom button. In addition, the space in front of the turntable is also added to the class.It is like the α7 series 3 generation body and the α6500 C1 and C2 two custom buttons, which is convenient for users to set more custom functions.

The shutter and switch are still placed in the handle position on the front of the turntable, and the video recording button is also transferred from the side of the finger to the side of the shutter. This position may be a bit crowded, but sometimes it is more convenient than placing it behind the finger handle.

Although the handle position is squeezed with the shutter and video recording button, the handle does not feel bigger. In addition, there is no sign of adding one more turntable in front of the handle. It seems that the front and rear double turntable design can only be the exclusive benefits of the α7 series body, and the flagship of the α6X00 series is also difficult to have this design.

The SAR guess is that the α6700 is a combination of α6400 and α6400. New opportunities to support HLG video capture and five-axis anti-shake, the “real-time eye focus (real-time eye AF)” and “real-time tracking” functions on the α6400, as well as the newly developed focus recognition algorithm should also be integrated into the α6700 on. If you add the self-timer flip screen that appears on the α6400, the α6700 should be the most complete α6500.

The specifications of the sensor, image quality, and video should not change much. There are things on the α6500 and α6400 that should be completely preserved.

In addition, the lens that appeared in the SAR’s guess map is the APS-C GM lens that was previously shown in rumors. According to Sony’s current pace and the strategy of “full frame as the main frame”, it is unrealistic to develop a flagship lens of APS-C format of GM specification, so this is a good idea.

In general, the α6700 should be a more comprehensive update. Compared with the α6400, the α6700 complements the five-axis anti-shake that users expect, as well as the latest focusing system and new design. If the α6700 can open the eye-focusing function in video shooting like the α7R IV, the α6700 will definitely become a more comprehensive VLOG camera.

It is true that the α6700 born under this “fantasy” is attractive enough, but it is still a bit different from the Sony APS-C flag we expected.

According to the previous exposure of SAR, Sony recently registered a machine that supports 5.8GHz Wi-Fi, which is likely to be equipped with α7 fourth-generation body (also known as α7R IV). The new machine. If Sony waits until the Olympic year to update α9, and the α7S III is not updated, then this new machine with α7 fourth-generation body and NP-FZ100 battery, as well as a new machine supporting 5.8GHz Wi-Fi, is likely to be APS-C flagship camera with Sony E-mount.

But from the news of the current exposure, this APS-C flagship camera should not be the α6700, it may also borrow the name of the Minolta era, directly called α7000. Only the current news is not much, and the guess is still not accurate.

In addition to the α6700, Sony may launch a machine called α6200 this time. For this new machine, SAR did not disclose too much parameter information, only said:

“This is a machine with lower parameters and specifications than the α6400.”

According to this speculation, the α6200 can only replace the α6000 or α6300, becoming the next-generation E-mount entry machine. If the α6200 can also be added to the 3.5mm microphone interface and is afraid of flipping the screen, it is also attractive for users who are just getting started and want to use the camera to pat the video.
