Sony WW638397 Update

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 3, 2020


I received some follow-up contacts about the Sony WW638397 that leaked and they believe it to be a new Sony RX100VIII, but I can’t verify the people contacting me with the info. The Sony RX100VII was announced a little over one year ago so it is possible, but not likely imo. I personally think it is more likely to be the long-awaited Sony RX10V as I stated in the original post since the Sony RX10IV was announced in 2017.

Maybe someone is rumoring the RX100VIII on their website with the WW638397 leak, but I haven’t come across anything to support that beyond recent emails, but after looking into it more I believe it will be the Sony RX10V more than I did previously. The Sony a7IV and Professional Sony camera are certainly coming, but the RX10 hasn’t been refreshed in years and I know a lot of photographers that love it and recommend it to friends for travel so this could be a great update.
