Well, unlike the existing Gs this one is weather-sealed and it shares the SSM drive.
However, based on the few images that I've seen it seems to have rather soft corners at 16mm (on the A77). Possibly a reason for the non-G designation. Makes you wonder what to mount to a 24mp APS-C cameras somehow.

Corner sharpness on FF 24-70/2.8s from all brands also have weak corners in the wide part.
Canon/Nikon 17-55/2.8s have better corners but cost much more than the Sony.
