Posted on by

Sony A9 High End E-mount Mirrorless Camera and FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM Lens are expected to be announced sometime in 2017.

According to the report from SonyAlphaRumors, the sources that shared the correct information about the newly announced FE 100mm f/2.8 STF GM OSS & FE 85mm f/1.8 lenses also confirmed that the Sony A9 (name is not confirmed yet) high end E-mount mirrorless camera and FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM lens will be announced this year! And the Sony Chinese Photographer QianLi Zhang also confirmed that a new camera with “Very Fast Burst Rate & AF Speed” is coming! In addition, Sony USA already dropped the prices of Sony a7RII and a7SII ($300 off), maybe this is another sign that Sony is planning to announce a new high-end E-mount camera.
