You know the drill about leaks so if you haven’t already, have yourself some grains of salt prior to reading this. According to a source who has been fairly accurate in the past, the successor to the full-frame Sony a99 (pictured above) is bound to have some big impacts on the photography world.

 The next generation flagship mirrorless camera from Sony will be a giant leap. It will drop a huge bomb in the imaging industry. It will not be A7III or A7RIII. It will be a new model above A7 series. I would say A9 (let’s name it as the new model). So the new A9 will have dual XQD card slot, no CFast version, only XQD. A9 can do UNLIMITED RAW burst, UNLIMITED. The camera wont pause for buffering 

Many including yours truly believe that we’ll see a Sony a99 successor likely around September and this wouldn’t be a bad feature to kick things off with. Other obvious features to expect will be native 4K video and Sony’s 4D autofocus system which has been praised in the a6300. I do wonder if Sony will stick with their current naming strategy and call the successor the Sony a99 II or if we’ll see it as an entirely new camera.
