Sony A1 Mark II camera leaked image surfaced over the web, via SAR. Very soon we will have an official announcement of the upcoming camera.
But even more interesting, is Sony done with 2024 announcements or do we still have some surprises left? although I am waiting for the Sony A7S III camera and FX3 II, let me know which models or waiting for.

Sony ALpha A II [Confirmed for Sony Nov 19 announcement ]
According to the latest, Sony is about to announce a brand new camera at the end of November. By the way, we told you about the NOV announcement back on September 11; check this out. So everyone is curious about “what it will be?” What we truly expect from Sony right now, at this very moment, is the announcement of the Sony A7 IV successor, the Sony A7 V camera.
After the Nikon Z6 Mark III announcement, we are also concerned that Canon’s R6 Mark III, with the R3-stacked sensor, will surely come next year as per rumor mills. So, a new generation of Sony A7 IV competitors either arrived or is about to arrive, and among all of Sony’s full-frame cameras right now, the Sony A7 IV is the most outdated Alpha Camera. Still waiting to get a dedicated AI chip, which even Sony A6700 has inside it, that upscales the overall still and video AF performance of the camera.
Even if we follow Sony’s announcement pattern, the A7 IV camera was announced back in October 2021, and since then, Sony has updated almost all the models in its current lineup. So here’s a list of cameras that we expect may arrive from Sony at the end of November or December, or maybe sometime in 2025. But out of all these cameras, we personally think the A7 V is the most important, and Sony should release it as soon as possible.
Let me know in the coments which camera you’re most excited to see ?
Compare the Sony ZV-E10 II camera against the recently announced Fuji X-M5. We will be comparing the 10 major differences between the two. Not only that, but these are the differences we have sorted out to make it a bit easier to understand instead of putting all comparisons in front of you in a single table. So we have distributed them into 10 different types of tables, so let’s begin.
In the first section, where we compare the camera design and all the details, you can see that the Fuji X-M5 is slightly smaller and a bit lighter than the Sony ZV-E10 II. The biggest advantage I see with the X-M5 is the weather-sealed design and a more durable body

The next is the ports comparison. More or less, both have similar kinds of ports—micro HDMI input, headphone, and output port, so connectivity-wise both are quite similar to each other.
4. Camera Sensor Comparison

Let’s compare the internal core specifications of the cameras. We have the 26 MP X-Trans sensor on the Fuji side, while the Sony has a 24 MP Bayer pattern BSI CMOS sensor. More or less, we will get similar image quality from both cameras.
No, neither of the cameras has any mechanical stabilization inside them for stills, so you have to be careful while using these cameras.
5. Autofocus Comparison
Feature

425 Phase Detection
Autofocus Sensitivity
-3 to +20 EV
-7 to +7 EV
Autofocus Modes
Auto, Continuous, Single, Manual
Continuous, Single, Manual
The autofocus system of both cameras is super awesome. Still, again, since Sony and Canon are leading in autofocus tracking, as well as if you compare the number of phase-detect autofocus points, the Sony ZV-E10 II has 759 AF points, while the X-M5 remains limited to 425. So, more or less, the tracking performance coming straight out of the Sony camera will be more usable and reliable compared to the Fuji X-M5.
6. Image Stabilization Comparison
Feature

On the other side, we have better autofocus sensitivity in the Fuji X-M5, which means the ability to lock focus in backlit situations is better with the X-M5. But again, AF sensitivity doesn’t help much with tracking performance. So both are completely different in terms of tracking and sensitivity. Generally, we rely more on tracking performance rather than sensitivity.
7. Continuous Shooting Speed Comparison
Feature
Sony ZV-E10 II
Fuji X-M5
Max Continuous Shooting
11 fps (Photo)
30 fps (Photo with electronic shutter)
Max Frames in Burst
59 (RAW) / 1000 (JPEG)
23 (RAW) / 128 (JPEG)
The X-M5 offers 30 fps continuous shooting with the electronic shutter but with some crop. If I select the uncropped mode, the speed drops to 20 fps, which is still better than the Sony ZV-E10 II’s 11 fps continuous shooting mode.
8. Video Resolution Comparison

Before you come to a decision that you are going to buy a camera with 6.2K resolution, you must first look towards your own personal requirements. If your personal requirements fulfill with 4K recording up to 60 frames per second, then without a doubt, a camera with more than 60fps mode is enough for you. But if you are a short filmmaker or someone who likes to get an open gate video in F-Log2 mode and then later on edit in your editing software, then you should buy the Fuji X-M5 camera. Otherwise, if you are a YouTube content creator or create Instagram Reels, then there is no need to buy a camera with 6K open gate recording.
To be very clear, the Fuji X-M5 does not have the same autofocus tracking performance as the Sony ZV-E10 II.

50 Minutes (4K) (Unlimited in 4k LP low Quality)
Sony ZV-E10 Mark II camera, despite the fact that the camera doesn’t have a 6.2K open gate recording, gives you a bitrate option of 600 Mbps, whereas a Fuji X-M5 camera with 6.2K open gate recording limits the bitrate to 200 Mbps. So there is a very simple math calculation: more bitrate means more color coming into your footage.
Another big noticeable difference before we jump to the limitations we have to face with each of the cameras is that the Fuji X-M5 in 4K has a recording limit of 50 minutes. Now, the 50-minute recording can only be extended when you are using an LP mode in 4K, which degrades the quality of 4K recording, but it allows you to record for more than an hour. So you have to decide that if you are into podcasting, then select your camera wisely.

For Photographers
You can buy any one you like since both of them missing EVF and feature the same resolution sensor, but the Sony ZV-E10 offers a better handgrip whereas the Fuji X-M5 is more vlogging-oriented, without a doubt the Sony ZV-E10 II AF tracking performance is better so you can consider that also, on the other side we have film-simulation modes from Fuji which is being loved by many photographers worldwide.
Animal EYE auto-focus feature is now being added to the Sony ZV-E10 camera with the latest firmware 2.01 update. With this update, your camera will start auto-focusing and tracking animal eyes when recording a movie in 4K or Full HD, so that’s a welcome update for the Sony ZV-E10 camera.
Other features include the Sony touch Shutter function, which has been tuned up to perform more accurately. And finally, it has been noted that there are some operational stability fixes for the camera.
Is Sony testing a new camera? According to the latest rumors, a Photographer who works with Sony is on TRIP to TAIWAN to test Sony’s new camera in a few weeks. The Photographer also confirmed that the camera will not be released with the 85mm f/1.4 GM II lens. The Rumor mill speculates, From the timing, this photographer may be testing the FX series E-mount video camera, which is interesting.
Translated version
A new Sony camera with the code name “WW751104” has been registered and may be released in September or October; In addition, we may see a new FX series E-mount camera first, followed by the rumored 24-70mm f/2.0 GM lens, and then another E-mount mirrorless camera. We look forward to more, and you can look forward to our follow-up reports.
Regarding the new camera, there are rumors that a photographer who works with Sony revealed that he will be going to Taiwan to test Sony’s new camera in a few weeks. However, this new camera will not be released with the 85mm f/1.4 GM II lens. From the timing, this photographer may be testing the FX series E-mount video camera expected to be released in September. Are you looking forward to it?
If analyze the above information, then it is very clear that the source is talking about two different cameras, one is a Sony camera with the code name “WW751104”, A E-Mount Mirrorless camera that is also expected to arrive alongside the 24 to 70mm F2.0 Lens in the next few months and the next is full frame sensor based professional cinematography camera, like the FX3.

Conclusion:
So we have the PXW-Z200 from Sony as well as the HXR-NX800 camcorder. The major difference between the two is that the Sony PXW-Z200 offers a 12G-SDI output option as well as timecode functionality, which is not present in the HXR-NX800.
With the help of the 12G-SDI output, which is highly suitable for professional workflows, especially when you are involved in live broadcasting, this feature becomes very useful.
As mentioned earlier, you also have a streaming advantage with the Z200 camcorder. With the timecode functionality, you can use this camera in multi-camera setups, like in newsrooms.
So, technically, almost 95% of the core specifications are the same between the two, but these are the differences.
