Sony rumors 2026
The Sony rumors are flying thick and fast – and so are the cameras that they relate to!
After the Sony RX1R III and Sony FX2 went from rumor to reality, this year we've seen the Sony RX10 V bridge camera, the record-setting Sony A7R VI with its 66.8MP sensor and the Sony FX5 "not-an-FX3-successor".
And now, for the umpteenth but perhaps most reliable time, there are fresh Sony rumors about the A7S series…
Sony A7S IV
No, you're not experiencing déjà vu – there's fresh chatter about the Sony A7S IV!
Sony has registered a new camera that looks like it might be the latest A7S model, which is rumored to feature the same sensor as the FX5 with the processor and autofocus system of the A7R VI.
It's being reported that an announcement is planned for November but, given Sony's issues shipping the FX5, there could be a delay to the announcement and / or the shipping date.
Sony RX100 VIII
Sony has already resurrected two RX camera lines: the Sony RX1R III (a full frame compact camera) and the Sony RX10 V (a bridge camera).
Now it seems that the company could complete the trifecta by renewing one of its most enduring products, with a successor to the Sony RX100 VII – still one of the best compact cameras you can buy.
Everyone knows that compacts are selling faster than anyone can make them, and the demand for premium compacts has been proven by the success of everything from the Fujifilm X100 VI to the Leica Q3.
The Sony RX100 VIII would be competing with the Panasonic Lumix L10 and the (similarly enduring) Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III and, truth be told, already bests them in a number of categories.
Which means that Sony would have to do little other than give the last model a light refresh (see the RX10 V) with a new AF system and it would be ready to bring to a very hungry market.
