Walking through battery park Manhattan around 5:35pm, I came across someone walking towards 1 world trade, with a graphite looking camera with no markings or paint in a slightly larger and boxier shape than my a7r ii, when I realized it was too large to be a Fuji XT1 but too small to be a Leica T, I looked closer and noticed the user (short chubby guy with red goatee) was using a Sony GM 24-70mm 2.8 lens on the body.
The photographer was pretty uncomfortable when I started asking questions. But I can say this. It was in fact a Sony A9(?!?) proto type, it is slightly larger than the A7Rii however it does not have a built in battery grip. Good things are it does have dual card slots, definitely sd maybe cfast, I really don’t know much about different cards, but he did say it has 2. It has a joystick for autofocus point moving. But most importantly, when he showed me the joystick, the spot where it would say 42M on my a7rii, it said Extra Fine 72M!!
He said this was one of a few prototypes out there and that it was due out end of summer for early fall release (can’t say this is real or not).
I know I am not a source or anything, but this thing was legit!!!

- a7r2보다 크고 더 박스형으로 생겼고, 후지 xt1이라기엔 너무 크고, 라이카 T라고 보기엔 작았음.
- 소니 24-70GM을 쓰고 있었음
- 포토그래퍼가 내 질문에 불편해했음. A9의 프로토타입같음.
- 다른 카드(xqd)인진 모르겠지만 적어도 듀얼슬롯은 맞음.
- AF를 조이스틱으로 옮길수 있음.
- 포토그래퍼가 이번 가을중에 출시하기 위해 여름중에 프로토타입이 몇개 더 나올거라고 말해줌. (믿거나 말거나겠지만)
