Has Sony just registered another new Alpha camera?

Sony threw us lately with the announcement of the Alpha A7R IV (above), just as everybody had their hopes raised for an A7S III, A7000 or an A9 Mark II – and that was earlier than launching the seventh iteration in its RX100 line, the RX100 Mark VII. But it appears the corporate is not executed with unveiling new package just but.

Multiple sources, together with Mirrorless Rumors, report that Sony has just registered a digital camera with the codename WW942051. Details are scant proper now, however the registration particulars state that the new mannequin is registered for five.8GHz, 5.1GHz and a couple of.4GHz wi-fi frequencies along with Bluetooth.

The A7R IV was the primary digital camera to reach with 5GHz wi-fi frequency help, so it is smart {that a} future mannequin will pack greater than just the two.4GHz band. Thing is, Sony already registered cameras earlier this yr with the codenames WW594724, WW716189 and WW246025, along with a WW642826 mannequin, solely for two.4GHz frequencies.

We can assume that one in every of these is the RX100 VII, which solely works on the two.4GHz band. The absence of another bands right here might be defined by the truth that such a digital camera wouldn’t be utilized in the identical means because the A7R IV, resembling for wi-fi tethered taking pictures, the place a quick and steady connection is paramount. 

So, information of extra Wi-Fi bands on this new registration data actually factors to a fairly highly effective mannequin on the horizon.
