Likely Sony ZV-E10II launch has been slightly delayed: Will be in Stock in August only!

A trusted source contacted me and told me that it seems that the launch of the ZV-E10II is slightly delayed. He does not know the reason for this. He added that it is likely that the ZV-E10II will only be available in August!

This is not the first time this has happened this year, the launch of the 16-25mm G was also delayed by over a month! It was supposed to be announced at the end of February, but was delayed and was announced in mid-April.

The 85mm GM II is still scheduled for launch in June, while I don’t know when the 24-70mm f/2.0 will be announced (it was supposed to be on the market in early summer).

Wild rumors about possible Reasons:
Sony has not announced a camera for more than six months now. But Nikon and Canon have also been silent for a long time. This is the first time I have seen such a long break from announcements by the big three. I have received absolutely unconfirmed rumors about a regulatory reason for the EU market. Maybe it’s related to the new AI law coming up. But that doesn’t make much sense to me, knowing that Fuji keeps announcing new cameras… unless, of course, Fuji makes no use of certain technologies that Sony and other new cameras are supposed to use in these new cameras.

Sony ZV-E10 still selling hot:
On all Japanese sales charts and on Amazon Bestseller list the ZV-E10 is still selling hot. So Sony can afford to introduce the successor a bit later than expected. Maybe Sony scrambled the roadmap in favor of other model that might be announced sooner? The hype on fixed lens camera might convinced Sony to launch a new R1X FF compact fixed lens camera as soon as it gets? But hey folks, that’s just me dreaming and speculating :)
