??The new Sony A9 with the ability to record 8K video 30 p could get to the beginning 2021. In particular, the context chosen by the Japanese manufacturer would be that of the CES technology fair 2021 to be held by 11 January.??

The camera market is evolving with increasingly advanced hybrid solutions (designed for photos and videos). For example the new Canon EOS R5 and EOS R6 or the Sony A7S series (now in its third generation). In the 2021, however, there will be room for further evolution and it will be Sony A9 designed to be able to shoot at the resolution of 8K 30 p .

Sony A9 : Will the new version arrive at CES 2021?

We had already talked about it some time ago, when the first rumors about this new model emerged which should aim to rival Canon’s proposals. Now comes further confirmation that he would give his presentation at start 2021 , more precisely the 11 January, in the frame of the CES in Las Vegas (which will be held in the first days of month).

The source would be reliable and it would not be such an unlikely possibility both for timing and for the chosen stage (even if still influenced by the pandemic). Furthermore, a potential price has also emerged for this Sony A9 with support for 8K 30 p : it would be 4999 dollars for the camera body only.

We do not yet know how it will be officially called, while it seems certain that it will be part of the A9 range and not A7, so as to distinguish it from other models (such as A7S) and give it an even more professional connotation. Inside there will then be a new sensor from 50 MPixel of resolution while the design will allow not to have overheating problems (but it is not known whether there will be active or passive cooling).
