The Sony Alpha A1, launched all the way back in January 2021, has no successor yet. Sony's camera department has had an unusually quiet year. For the entirety of 2024, we've seen just one new Sony mirrorless camera.
And, as impressive as the Sony ZV-E10 II is with its 26MP APS-C sensor and 4K video features, the sub $1,000 beginner video camera – that's an iterative update – isn't much for Sony fans to get excited about. As TechRadar's Cameras Editor, I can't remember Sony ever being so quiet, In fact, I had started to pen a piece about Sony's inactivity – surely it couldn't just be related to reported global supply chain issues, could it? Turns out, I may have to stand down, at least if the latest rumors are true. According to Sony Alpha Rumors, Sony will announce its first full-frame camera of the year, as soon as the end of November.
That wouldn't be long to wait, but which camera could it be and how plausible is this rumor? Sony Alpha Rumors listed the most likely candidates for what it says will be a November launch, speculating that there could be two new cameras and an exciting new lens in the next six months or so. It has also poured cold water over other potential camera updates from Sony's existing line up. I should make it clear that rumors from this source have been circulating for a little while.
