Sony rumors

Arrive soon. (Image credit: Sony)The Sony A7C is a camera that divides opinion and we don't yet know if these A7C II rumors are completely accurate. So, if you're in the market for a full-frame travel camera, it's definitely one to keep an eye on.In our Sony A7C review, we felt the camera's shooting experience was just too compromised to justify the price tag ($1,799.99 / £1,850.00 / AU$2,399.00). We noted that "the EVF is clear enough in use, but the display is simply too small for a full-frame camera and is uncomfortable to use". When you combine this with the small grip and the fact that the Sony A7 IV can now be found for less than its original $2,499 / £2,400 / AU$$4,299 asking price, the A7C (and perhaps the A7C II) can be a compromise too far for many photographers and video shooters.Then again, the A7C is one of the world's smallest and lightest full-frame mirrorless cameras (only the Sigma fp and fp L beat it here), and that could be the most important factor for you. The camera has found favor among street photographers who like its inconspicuous size and image quality, and the rumors suggest the A7C II could bring important video boosts, too.While the Sony A6700 offers a good alternative to the A7C, then, we'll be keeping an eye out for the expected A7C II announcement. Sony Alpha Rumors is pretty confident that the camera (plus an A7CR sibling, with the Sony A7R V's 61MP sensor) will be launched on August 29. Mark is TechRadar's Senior news editor.

New rumors suggest Sekiro and even Ghost of Tsushima could receive anime adaptations, and while nobody has stepped up to confirm that, Sony has now said it wants to do more anime in general.Sony released a round-up of its latest corporate strategy meeting the same day these anime rumors truly began to swirl, and anime is a recurring topic. Chairman and CEO Kenichiro Yoshida reiterates the company's overarching goal to "fill the world with emotion (or Kando) through the power of creativity and technology," and this is important to remember because this amusingly literal "Kando" theory comes up repeatedly. For example, Sony says it's "investing in the ability to create Kando" by looking to "strengthen its creativity in areas such as music, pictures, games and anime." "Under the long-term vision of expanding the number of people directly connected to the Sony Group to one billion people," the report continues, "Sony aims to continue delivering Kando in specific areas where communities are born, such as anime, games, and in India, learning from its users, and making use of them in its creations."

Perhaps most importantly, anime is mentioned as a key point for "maximizing value by deepening the deployment of IP," which is squarely in the realm of multimedia adaptations. In particular, Sony mentions the "expansion of game IP" through known adaptations like The Last of Us season 2, the Gran Turismo movie, and the Twisted Metal TV show. It also commits to "accelerating the growth of anime," citing collaboration between Crunchyroll and Demon Slayer anime producer Aniplex. Does any of this outright reveal a Sekiro or Ghost of Tsushima anime? No, but it does make those rumors a little more realistic. With an anime announcement allegedly coming soon, next week's big PlayStation Showcase is looking extra interesting. While Sony doesn't control the IP like it does Ghost of Tsushima, PlayStation Studios boss Hermen Hulst has

Sony a9 IIBased on latest rumors and leaks, the upcoming Sony a9 III seems to be announced in next few weeks. Here’s an in-depth look at what we can realistically expect from the Sony a9 III based on rumors, Sony’s history, and the competitive landscape.New Stacked CMOS SensorAt the heart of any new camera is its image sensor, and this will likely be one of the biggest upgrades in the a9 III. The original a9 featured a 24.2MP stacked CMOS sensor, which allowed for incredibly fast readout speeds and enabled its blazing 20fps continuous shooting with no viewfinder lag. For the Mark III, rumors point to a completely new stacked sensor in the 30-40MP range. This matches what we’ve seen in other Sony lines like the a7R V (61MP) and would give a nice resolution boost while still optimizing the sensor for speed.Along with more megapixels, we can expect further improvements to the sensor’s speed and readout capabilities. On-sensor phase detection AF points will likely increase from the a9 II’s 693 points, helping accuracy and coverage through the frame. Low light performance should get a bump as well, especially if the new sensor utilizes the latest technologies like the a7S III‘s Dual Gain Output. Overall, expect a sensor tailored for sports and action with bleeding-edge speed and AF features.Next-Gen BIONZ XR ProcessorTo handle all that new sensor data, Sony will need to pair it with an upgraded processor. They will likely utilize their latest BIONZ XR, introduced in the a7S III and also used in the new FX3. This engine can process data 3x faster than the previous generation, enabling huge improvements in processing power. The BIONZ XR would allow the a9 III to harness the full potential of its new sensor and maintain blazing fast performance.We can expect buttery smooth blackout-free shooting at up to 30fps, lightning fast sensor readout for minimal rolling shutter, and advanced features like 8K video recording and oversampled 4K video from the full sensor width. The BIONZ XR gives the a9 III tons of headroom to enable reliable performance even under the most demanding conditions.Refined Body DesignWhile not a revolutionary change, the a9 III will surely receive design tweaks and refinements over its predecessor. We can expect improved weather sealing, perhaps introducing full magnesium alloy construction to match flagship DSLRs. The handgrip will receive subtle sculpting changes for better ergonomics, as we’ve seen with

The internet is going crazy today over rumours that Sony is buying Take-Two and the studios that reside within it, including Rockstar Games, Firaxis, Hangar 13 and more.“Take-Two Interactive Software stock climbed 4.7% on rumors that Sony Corp. ‘is in advanced board level discussions to acquire Take-Two Interactive in a mostly cash deal,’ that would value the company at $130 share, according to Joel Kulina, head of technology and media trading at Wedbush Securities,” a report from Market Watch originally read.GamesIndustry.biz has since spoken to Kulina, who has distanced himself from the comment attributed to him.“This is purely unconfirmed market speculation that is making the rounds,” Kulina said. “I am not the source of this story in any regard. And not sure who quoted me as I didn’t speak with anyone over the phone (unless someone saw a trading note that I wrote).”Bizarrely, the duo who wrote Market Watch’s original report have distanced themselves from it as well, confirming that Kulina’s comment was the only source they’d heard the rumour from.“The stock shot up at the start of trade today to lead the S&P 500 and I was simply looking for plausible explanations,” Matthews told GamesIndustry. “Joel’s in a good position to know what’s moving individual tech stocks, even if they are just rumors. In terms of timing, [Take-Two] stock was well up before his email went out, so it was not his dissemination of the rumor that sparked the move.”We’ll highly doubtful that Sony’s in the process of buying Take-Two, but we’ll keep you informed as we learn more.

Experience, with cartoon-style graphics and accessible gameplay. RBI Baseball 19 is another option, featuring realistic visuals and an authentic MLB experience. If you're looking for a more retro experience, then check out Super Baseball 2020, an SNES-style title with 8-bit graphics and classic gameplay. Finally, Retro Baseball, also available on the Switch, is a classic-style game that features polygonal graphics and an arcade-style playing experience.Will MLB The Show 23 be on switch?At this time, there is no official confirmation as to whether or not MLB The Show 23 will be released on the Nintendo Switch. While there has been speculation and rumors, Sony has not released any official statement on the matter. Therefore, until Sony makes an official announcement, it is impossible to definitively answer this question. That being said, given the success of MLB The Show 21 on the Nintendo Switch, it is possible that Sony could decide to release a version of the game on the Switch in the future.

Stabilization. Improving stabilization also hints at even higher resolution sensors coming down the road.Dual Pro Media SlotsRight now, Sony remains stubbornly committed to its single Pro media slot configuration of one CFexpress Type A and one UHS-II SD. However, with the CFexpress Type A format now firmly established and prices dropping, the a9 III presents a golden opportunity for Sony to “give the people what they want” – two pro-level card slots.This could mean dual CFexpress Type A slots or one CFexpress Type A and one CFexpress Type B. Dual slots with the latest protocols would allow uncompromising performance and redundancy. While not a sure bet, there is a good chance Sony will finally adopt dual Pro slots to stay competitive with the Nikon D6, Canon R3, and upcoming mirrorless rivals.Opportunity to Lead the PackWith its dominance in market share, Sony has some freedom to dictate pricing in the mirrorless space. The biggest potential disruption coming is Canon’s EOS R1, slated for release around the same time. If Sony wants to stay on top, it would be wise not to cede too much ground on specs or pricing.Look for the a9 III to have a price tag around $4500, similar to the Nikon Z8. This lets them stay competitive for high-end action shooters. Expect cutting-edge performance and features rather than leaving room for others to claim technological superiority. After all, Sony is just hitting its stride while rivals are playing catch-up. The a9 III represents an opportunity to cement its status as the leader in mirrorless technology.ConclusionWhile Sony keeps product plans close to the vest, these rumored updates give a realistic picture of what to expect from the a9 III. Combine a new high-res stacked sensor, powerful BIONZ XR processor, refined body design, and bleeding-edge focusing with AI integration, and the a9 III looks poised to deliver a significant jump in speed, resolution, and accuracy for action photographers. If the rumors hold true, the a9 III will set the benchmark for mirrorless performance once again.
