won't be long now.

prior three models were announced between may 10 and may 15.

So we should expect teasers to be posted to sony social media sometime this weekend, maybe?

Excited!

Amazon UK is posting the phones and bundles already.

pricing is more expensive than the VII and includes the XM6s as a promo bundle.

even so, crazy pricing.



I can't see the pricing but supposedly it is 329 pounds more than the VII

That price .. . If true, it's such a huge jump compared to last year. Were the very latest headphones bundled last year?

I'll be away on holiday from Sunday, for ten days, so it should be a very interesting week.

They were bundled with the XM5 last year. It was announced a bit before the XM6 was announced, I think.

Are you still in the UK now? did you try searching amazon to see if it's still listed?

I couldn't see anything on Amazon about it.

Edit: No, it's still there.

Would Sony ditch the adjustable - telephoto lens this time around? As has been rumoured?

70mm fixed focal length, I suspect it can also do 140mm with in sensor zoom.

the biggest gain is the sensor size, 4x larger than the outgoing zoom sensor. from the specs, it is probably the same sensor as the ultra wide, 48mp, 1/1.56".

will be interesting to see the comparisons with the current model.

Are you guys saying they're ditching the periscope telephoto?

well that is disappointing. i would have loved if they had done both. keep the periscope lens for optical zooming and increased the sensor size for digital super zooming.

i suppose as long as performance is the same or better, it's fine. we'll just have to wait and see.

The periscope is what made it really unique.
