Update: This leaked document is fake !
In addition to new A7R II, new A6100, RX100 IV to be announced soon, Wikileaks leaked another info about Sony A-mount cameras, bad news is that Sony is planing to stop making new A-mount Full frame and entry-level cameras. The rumored A99 II maybe just a joke.
From Wikileaks:
“Sony will scale back production and discontinue their A-mount full-frame and entry level candidates,” the screenshot reads. “The increasing sales of high-end consumer cameras, the ‘Alpha’ line-up, has proven to Sony that the E-mount (and FE segment) of Alpha is worth further investment.”

I like my 99 and have spent a small fortune on a-mount lenses. I have a 7R as well and use both. I’d prefer a 99ii to continue using my a-mount lenses.
It looks more like spam to me; I don’t believe it’s an official Sony document. Looks like it was written by a reporter. Don’t worry Sony don’t rush out new Alpha’s, never have and never will!
Can you give details of the document, who wrote it, date etc. Looks like it was written by a reporter and I cannot find this on wikileaks!
Sorry but it says they will discontinue there “candidates” THAT IN NO WAY MEANS ALL A-MOUNT CAMERAS. IT SIMPLY SAYS THAT THEY ARE NOT PROCEEDING WITH WHATEVER CURRENT A-MOUNT PRODUCTS THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON. SONY AND ALL OTHER MANUFACTURERS ALWAYS HAVE MULTIPLE DESIGNS AND CONCEPTS THEY ARE WORKING ON FOR THE NEXT PRODUCTION MODELS… NOT ALL OF THEM MAKE THE PRODUCTION LINE FOR CONSUMERS….
such a misleading click bait article. read your own facts first before posting such a misleading title.
I’m calling this out as nonsense. I just searched all of the Sony documents and emails for the phrase “scale back production and discontinue their A-Mount” and it returned 0 results. I’d like to see some “FACTS” reported rather than getting “SPAM”!
Hi There!
Firts of all it would have been nice to link me back. But ok, you may “forgot” that. That said the document is FAKE and I wrote that on my article where you article was taken from. Please correct. Thanks 😉
And what about the current investment ?
