Sony registered the unannounced WW491229 camera, which uses an NP-SA100 battery, with an overseas certification body. Registration in the United States has been completed, and testing was conducted for Wi-Fi 6 compatibility, use of an NP-SA100 battery and the XQZ-UC1 charger.
WW491229 was registered with an overseas certification body as an unannounced Sony camera. The registration indicates that it uses an NP-SA100 battery and supports Wi-Fi 6. It has been reported that registration in the United States has been completed.
Speculation has also been reported regarding successor models to the α7 V and α7R VI, but the series to which the registered camera belongs remains unclear based on the registration information. An interpretation that registration in the United States means the product will be launched within 60 days has also been presented.
While there is a view that an announcement by year-end is highly unlikely, the possibility of some movement toward CP+ in February 2027 has also been mentioned.
