Earlier this month, we caught our first glimpse of what might be Sony’s next flagship full-frame camera, the ‘a9 II.’ Now, a new photo has been leaked showing the mystery camera out in the wild yet again.
The leaked photo, seen below and shared by Sony Alpha Rumors, features what could be an a9 II attached to a taped-up battery grip and a Sony FE 400mm F2.8 GM OSS lens. The button placement and overall look is identical to the header image, which was leaked earlier this month.
As noted when the first image emerged, one noticeable change is the lack of the Focus Mode dial lock release button found on the a9. Aside from that, the externals of the camera appear largely unchanged from its predecessor.
As for internals, we don’t know much. Sony Alpha Rumors is reporting the camera will feature a 36-megapixel sensor, but that rumor has yet to be confirmed.
PhotoPlus 2019 is being held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center roughly a block away from the Creative Space NYC location where Sony is hosting its event. |
If it’s indeed real, we’ll no doubt find out soon enough. Sony has shared the details for an event at ’Creative Space NYC,’ that will take place just around the corner from the convention center where PhotoPlus 2019 is going on. The ‘Creators’ Playground,’ as Sony is calling it, will be open from October 24 through the 26.
