Here are some updates on Sony Rumors for the upcoming Sony A7R V and Sony A9 III camera. As we have often mentioned in previous articles, Sony is expected to make two big full-frame mirrorless announcements in 2022.
One of them is Sony a7R V and due to the release of the super hot Canon EOS R5 and Nikon Z9 8K mirrorless cameras, Sony has decided to accelerate the development speed of the Sony a7R V with enhanced video core specifications. The other one will be the third iteration of Sony A9 camera.
According to recent reports, Sony is rumored to announce the Sony a7R V and a new ZV-1 styled camera before the Sony A9 III camera (successor of Sony A9 II). In addition, the Sony a9 III is expected to be released before the end of 2022 (or early 2023).

In terms of lenses, Sony is likely to release the FE 85mm F1.2 GM and FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM II in 2022. Sony FE 85mm f/1.2 GM lens will be more compact in size, just like the FE 50mm F1.2 GM lens. The US price for FE 85mm f/1.2 GM lens will probably be over $2,000. According to Sony Rumors, we expect the company alo unveil the FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II lens in 2022.
