Sony has announced a rescheduled launch event for its new vlogging camera, following its announcement being postponed a few weeks ago.
The event, which was originally scheduled to take place on July 7, will now take place on July 27 (tomorrow) at 10 a.m. EDT / 3 p.m. BST. For those in Australia, that's midnight AEST on July 28.
As before, the teaser doesn't go into too many details about what the "new camera" will be, but does include the tagline "capture more of your world" above an image of a "dead cat" windshield. for a microphone.
These tips, plus the inclusion of a background very similar to that used by Sony for the launch of the p>
Sony ZV-1
in May 2020 (see below), suggest that the new announcement may well be a video-focused model.

Could it succeed the Sony ZV-1? We'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out for sure, but given that this pattern is still relatively new, it's perhaps more likely that we'll see an alternate pattern with similar tendencies.
Either way, we hope there won't be any last-minute hiccups this time around. Sony told us that the original event had been postponed "due to the availability status of some parts." It certainly wouldn't be the first tech product to run into supply chain issues or chip shortages, but those seem to have been resolved fairly quickly.

That said, it's possible that initial stock of Sony's new announcement will be quite limited - so if you're looking for a new camera video-focused product for vlogging or your YouTube channel, it might be worth the Please tune in to the event tomorrow in case pre-orders become available.

If Sony's new announcement is indeed another video-focused camera, as the teaser suggests, that wouldn't be a huge surprise given the camera giant's launches over the past 18 months.
The grand “video first” strategy seemed to kick off in May 2020 with the Sony ZV-1, a compact vlogging camera that launched very similar in styling to the new incoming model (as you can see below).
This was quickly followed by the arrival of the popular
Sony A7S III
in July 2020 (a full-frame model that is our top pick for the title of
best 4k camera
), then the more compact Sony A7C full-framer in September 2020. Since then we've also seen the Sony FX3, a camera that straddles the line between its Alpha and Cinema ranges.
This frame from Sony's ZV-1 launch is very similar to Sony's new camera teaser.

It's not impossible that we'll hear news of these at tomorrow's event, but given the launch teaser's striking similarity to that of the Sony ZV-1 reveal, it looks like photographers may have to -be waiting a little longer for a successor to the
Sony A7III
