Sony 400-800 f8 coming :) now is the time to make the switch Nikon shooters 😊.
Thanks for this video Simon. I recently switched from Sony to Nikon after owning the A1 and an FX3. I don't regret it at all, and this video echoes some my exact thoughts about the A7V and why I switched. I don't understand what Sony is doing and their weird "over-segmentation". Nikon isn't perfect, but I as a consumer understand where they are going and the value they are going to provide to me and my wedding videography business. That is worth much more to me than sensor technology being half a generation ahead.
You do know Nikon uses Sony sensors?
@@contentm3893 Yep, but it appears Sony doesn't allow other companies to use the sensors that appear in their mirrorless line - A1ii, A7Siii, A7V, etc. now that Nikon owns Red, perhaps now we will start to see sensors fully designed by Nikon and just manufactured by Sony or other companies like Tower Jazz (who Nikon has also used in the past).
You make some really good points in this video. What stood out to me was when Andre was talking about the frames per second and how the "full 26 fps would be too close to the A1". You have to wonder just what kinds of cameras the industry could/would be producing if they weren't having to try and segement their extended lines. People love to talk about the Canon "cripple hammer", but it's not limited to just Canon.
Thank you. I'm always analyzing things, looking to see how I can provide value. The bold specs seem out of place with their lineup, but they are missing an R5/Z8 update.
As a previous A7IV hybrid shooter, i do not regret swapping it for the S5II.
😮😮😮😮😮 why? At least for photography the A7IV seems like a better camera overall. The S5II have great things but big limitations too, like focus in high frame rates in video, APSC mode in 4k60fps, AF in photography not at Sony level, lenses are bigger, etc
I'd say the R5 II is currently the best hybrid on the market for the price. The more I use it,, the more I like it. However ISO 12800 does have enough noise to get wildlife photographers to think twice.
@@OrdinaryFilmmaker the R5II is on a complete different level. He is talking about the S5II (Panasonic). Or at least it seems like it for me
@@amermeleitor A7IV has 4k60p in crop mode as well.
@@OrdinaryFilmmaker it's not just wildlife shooters. I find the Canon R5ii too noisy for photojournalism unless the action is happening in really good light. The R5 was better. And, of course, the R1 is better still.
Thanks for the news Simon. As an A7IV user I doubt I´ll be upgrading anytime soon, but it´s very interesting to see what Sony is up to with the V. The only things I miss in A7IV are clean ISO 12800 for video, and AF-C in interval shooting in photo mode.
The A7iv is way cleaner than the A7siii and FX3 at all isos. The FX3 and A7siii use terrible noise reduction to make the image clean at 12800. I had all 3 cameras.
Clean ISO at 12800 is fast becoming a thing here in late 2024;)
45mp and 8k in a $2500 body is not happening. Not only the A7S3 or FX series are affected, that will eat into the sales numbers of the original A1.
This sounds like something gear obsessed people making up their wet dream spec sheet, just like the 80mp canon R1 back then.
Or, kind of like the original Canon R5 . . . now.
If it does it's gonna be slow. Which is the biggest weakness of the A7 IV compared to the competition. So I hope the main improvements happen in terms of speed.
a7 iii was kind of bold.
so now it is time for a7 v 🙂
Kind of bold ? that camera is still one of the best cameras to get into the sony eco system specially if you are a value driven person tbh
@ I fully agree that a7 iii had got one of the best cost/value ratio. But there were always better cameras like even a7r iii and a9 in the time of release. I gave up with a7 iii because of lack of real time tracking and video 30 minutes limit.
Hope that a7 V will be a new cost/value king ;-)
I have a7 iii but thinking to upgrade it! Not too happy about Sony colors compare to canon lol but also watched some videos where they say that a7 iii has an old color palette! Wonder how a7 4 works for you
The A7V sounds awesome! Hope they are BOLD.
10fps is absolutely updated. However, if the sensor is 20fps with slow readout time heavy jello effect, it is useless either.
It's almost as if sony needs to decide if it's time to change their lineup or keep selling outdated stuff
It's like building a sports car, one cannot update just one thing without impacting other parts downstream. A read out speed of less than 10ms is essential if they go 44mp.
@@OrdinaryFilmmaker what makes you say that? The A7RV is pitifully slow. It's the slowest non MF sensor out there but it didn't stop em. Sony logic would say it doesn't matter because it isn't meant to be a speed camera or a video camera. It's why I left Sony when I had my A7iv. Great camera..but slow as molasses and offered no real features outside of just having a FF image
@@noctivagance_imagerywhich new camera did you get or would be getting?
@DayBotKnightBot I switched over to nikon but ultimately ended on the fuji h2s. Dollar for dollar and size beats FF for what I do (wildlife and concerts and real estate)
Agree with your view. Sony is well-known for its strategy of intentionally limiting features in lower-tier models,. It is unlikely that the rumored A7V will introduce bold innovations that could overshadow or cannibalize the product line.
I'd like to be wrong here.
@@OrdinaryFilmmakerThe A7RV kind of made the A1 sort of niche for photographers. There’s a lot of that. The A7S line was basically cannibalized by the A1, A7IV features and the FX3. And even further with the FX30.
They cripple some things irrationally but the reason is that people cry a river anytime they include a feature that is not in the higher end models ie focus breathing compensation came in the FX30 and there was a riot 😂
I have the opposite opinion where Sony seems to be the only one who dont care about cannibalize their previous camera even with lower-end model, before they upgraded it, the A1 was quite far behind in almost every aspect despite it being their flagship. I expect the A7V to have 1-2 features we dont even see on the A1 II
How many sales does Sony make for A7IV vs the FX3 and A7S cameras. I would bet that it is probably 10 to 1, and so I would guess that cannibalization won't be that big of a factor
Thank you for the video! Can’t wait to see what’s they are gonna come up with! I currently have a7 iii. Hope it’s gonna be worthy of upgrading :)
i think they need to be bold because canon is coming out with lot of new cameras.
This isn't 2019, Canon and Nikon have stepped things up a bit. A bit of boldness is needed.
Be prepared to be disappointed 😔 basically a body upgrade with new AI image processor with little change to absolute performance (aka like A1 m2)
Just the new screen of the A7RV and the AI autofocus would be major upgrades... add to that a few minor improvements all across the board and typically a brand new function never seen before and youve got a very good successor IMO... the mirrorless technology has matured a lot since 2020, dont expect game changing improvement every generations...
My presiction. Ai aitofocus, Articulating screen, 4k60 in full frame. Thr digital video stabilizer pf the zve1. @@vacciniumaugustifolium1420
Indeed, the Z6 III and the upcoming R6 III place a lot of pressure on Sony. This camera and this space are truly the hybrid shooter marketplace. The risk is not being bold and potentially losing some of us who have migrated to Sony from either Canon or Nikon. Really one to watch. And no better place to follow the action than this channel. Obviously I need to earmark some funds just in case this is a home run.
It's not a space anyone should overlook. This is a segment many buy into full frame. Let's see what comes of this. We have so few specs as yet.
I think it will come with the same videos options as the Sony a7 IV, however with overheating issues improved. I believe that it will come with higher megapixels sensor (around 40 ish) and AI autofocus like the Sony a7 rV
🙌🏻
Cheers much and we'll just have to wait and see
Curious if Sony will throttle it and use the newly created Sony cripple hammer like the A1ii
What camera is there that can surpass the A1ii?
@@tonygerassi1502 Photo wise nothing. Video specs are less on the specs than other cameras though it also physically the smallest camera out there.
@@83442handle other prosumer hybrid video cameras like what? I’m curious
@@83442handlejust curious, what other prosumer hybrid video camera surpasses it?
Just so you know that isn’t new. The A9 vs A9II was a much smaller upgrade than the A1 to A1ii. And the A1ii being so close to the R5 mkii argument always misses some huge points that are important for sports/wildlife shooters, such as sensor readout time. Viewfinder magnifications and resolution, and that insanely useful LCD screen mechanism. (I don’t think the A1ii should be as much as it is… but still, there are reasons that it’s better than the A1 in very real practical ways.)
No way Sony will cannibalize the A7RV and A7SIII with 40+ megapixel, 8k, 20 fps system.
the A7RV is in end of life, we should get an update regarding the A7RVI by the end of 2025, so IDK if >40MP is out of the window... but Id bet on them reusing the same sensor as the A7IV and upgrading everything else around it
informative news thanks Simon.
Is the new 44mp stacked or is it a jello fest. Because if its stacked, at that megapixel it wont be cheap. If it isnt and has a lot of rolling shutter effects, it wont compete.
I love my A7IV but the moire issue on clothing and architectural work is a major problem! I hope Sony incorporates a OLPF (anti-alias filter) on their new offerings!
It gets better and better.
I’m about to buy the A7RV used - do you think I should wait? I do cinematic portraits, location photography, and video. I need weather sealing and the best AF in the game
Wait, it’s just a 2-3 months away…if it doesn’t match up… u can always buy a7rv
Just wait. With every new model, the old ones lower their prices, even if they aren't in the same line.
Price of the a7RV used keep going down by around $50 per month in average, the news of the A1 II, the A7V and likely the A7RVI will most likely push the price further down soon.
I am on the same decision. Will grab the A7RV as I can get a barely used one for 2500€
Yes, waiting always is better. I too tried out the A7 iv, it's a great camera but too close to the Panasonic S5 I already own and use with my trusty Canon FD collection from the 80's! Love Sony's color and dynamic range, looking to buy the right camera sometime after the announcement too.
Sony Fx3 is just highly optimized, low-light capable, and minimal rolling shutter video camera. I think a75 video capability will prioritize high resolution videos, but with Bad-Moderate rolling shutter performance and okay lowlight capability. What I'd want from a75 is to be faster camera than a74 with good 4k60 video, and good wireless transfer capabilities
Hi, Happy New Year.
I have saved for 2 years to buy a camera.
Now the question is should I buy a7iv or should I wait for a a7v??
Please do give your opinion. I will blindly follow whatever you say.
Can I ask a general question?
I’m using a R5MKii with a RF 200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM, would a battery grips help give me more balance and steadiness hand holding? I am 80 yrs old and maybe nothing will help. I ask you because I love your videos. Thanks
have you tried a monopod? While the grip may help you balance the camera it will def add more weight to it.
If you’re using a tripod or monopod. If your just hand holding the heavier grip DOES NOT help being more steady specially when extending the lens.
It would help balance yes, but you might not like the extra weight. I often walk to my location and you do feel that extra weight. Having a tripod would solve the issue, but again, you'd have more weight to cart to the location.
Help, yes. Totally solve? That 200-800 is considerably longer and heavier than, say, the 100-500. The grip will help with balance, and regardless of what some may say, steadiness. It's about inertia. A big, heavy rifle is easier to keep steady, provided you can handle the extra weight. But if it's too heavy for you, you will always be unsteady.
I hope they announce it soon, my hope is on January…

@@breakfastforyousoul yup
i think the Sony doesn’t has to be afraid of cannibalizing, but the other manufacturers' developments: Canon and Nikon has a lot of improvements. They has to compete their Z6iii and r6ii.
I love competition, the consumer always wins🎉😊
Sony will do a minor update, as always...
But... wish the A7V would had been a big all terrain upgrade...
And, knowing the updrades between the A7 and A7C are not so different, would be nice to release both at same time: A7 V and A7C III
I totally agree with what you said. Sony's marketing strategy is beneficial for them but hurts the consumer by making them buy multiple bodies to obtain certain features that may not overlap. Giving something as simple as 4k 60 uncropped in the A7V will completely eliminate the need for the A7Siii or future A7SV. As a Sony user, I really love what Nikon is doing with the Z8 Z9 and Z6iii as most of the crucial features you need are available between all 3 bodies. We'll see what Sony will do but I dont have high hopes for the A7V as I can almost garantee that Sony will pull something silly and restrict the A7V in some major way. If only Nikon made lighter cameras and lenses then I would have jumped ship a long time ago.
I was thinking about it also, but stumbled across a comparison of A7S3 and Z6 video performance. The sony camera was 10 times better in terms of dynamic range, autofocus and overall image quality.
Do you think they may put PRE-CAPTURE technology in the A7V ?
I'd rather they put this than a higher megapixel count (33 is enough in my opinion)
Right now the only Sony cameras that have pre-capture (A9iii and A1ii) cost 7k+ €. I wish there was one option at the 3k price range
Nice specs...BUT if Sony don't put some type of cooling fan in it, the camera will quickly overheat like my A74 and becomes inadequate for videos
If in the new a7V they introduce a new 44mpx sensor, AI capability in focusing and speed of at least 15fps, they have a new buyer in me ;-)
I’m don’t really understand how everything works with camera technology. Can someone please explain what they need to do to get rid of the crop (4k60). Does the camera need another sensor to be able to record without a crop or why is there a crop to begin with?
I think it has to do with overheating issues.
As I ponder the landscape of consumer digital cameras these last few years the more I feel that each manufacturer marches to the beat of its own drum developing its own long-term strategy rather than continuously looking over its shoulder at what the competition is doing. If Sony was trying to second guess what Canon was going to do with the R1, would they have guessed that Canon would put a 24MP stacked sensor in the thing? As far as I am concerned post- Nikon Z8, only three “Wow” cameras were released: the Canon R5 II, and the Fujifilm GFX-100 II and the Sony A9 III; the rest have been evolutionary rather than revolutionary.
Let’s not forget that the A7 “X” is the entry level to the line. Those hoping for A1 II performance for the same price as the A7 IV is smoking something funny. Moreover, IMHO, the A7 never competed with the A7S especially given the A7S III’s sensitivity and dynamic range which goes unmatched for those Sony cameras not using its sensor. I’d reckon the A7 V will still take a back seat to Sony's more video oriented cameras. Sure, there should be a bump up correcting some of the A7 IV's shortcomings but expecting an 8K killer is simply unrealistic. Rather than that 44 MP sensor, my money is on a semi-stacked implementation of the 33MP sensor; the advantages outweigh its limitations for an entry level A7 model. The inclusion of a CFExpress 4.0 reader along with the matching PCIe 4.0 bus as well as a beefier processor would sure help speed up moving things around; a bold move that should take care of the rolling shutter issues people constantly whine about.
FYI, Simon. I went to order that Angelbird card reader you spoke about several days ago but I was unable to pre-order it so I got a sweet 32” QD-OLED computer monitor instead. I hope that B&H affiliate link was able to give you a cut.
I just think that sony kind of dunked on us with the release of the a9iii for $6000, $500 less than the A1. We are missing, a stacked 24-33 megapixel camera with a fast readout for around $4200-$4800. Nikon chose their route with the z8, canon chose to update their r5 with matching specs (close to z8)... Sony went nuts and gave us a global shutter, in the A9iii that costs wayyy to much to even compete with the other lines, and the a7r5 stays as a high mp, slower camera. if you look at Sony's lineup you can either buy a camera for $2500, $3900, $6000, or $6500 lol. its just insane, so for that reason alone im holding out hope that sony keeps the a7c as the baseline, and then start adding cameras to fill that gaps, if that's a 44mp A75.. so be it, because after the z6iii and z8, im tempted to just buy a nikon body and use my sony lenses on it.
With FX lineup I'm not sure Sony still sells a lot of A7Siii, nor that it will upgrade it to iv.
I agree, but this is the company that sells the A7C II along side the a7C and the A7Cr. They don't mind crowding out the space.
Hmm, Simon .. feels odd when Sony would use the a7v to go after the old R5 while running away from the lower resolution but higher IQ position of the Z6iii and the promising R6iii with a rolling-free stacked sensor. I believe this market place is even more tilted towards video compared to the Z8/R5ii .. so I'm puzzled Sony would have no stacked sensor answer !!
Who knows is the honest answer. We have little validated so far. It needs to compete and has tough competition.
@@OrdinaryFilmmaker indeed, but .. the a7iv seemed for the past years to dominate the segment between $2k and $3k which seems to be the sweet spot for large sales volumes in FF cameras. When it grows up to 8k video, it will move above $3k and distances itself from its competition which remains loyal to 24 megapickles for the foreseeable future. With the spicy pricetag of the a1ii, there's perhaps room for an el-cheapo a1ii with a rolling shutter, but not at the expense of no longer offering a hybrid camera in the sweet spot of the market.
The 8k sensor Andrea Pizzini mentions may will start yet another branch of the a7, like and a7a (for mini a1) but Sony marketing will likely dig up another character from the alphabet 🙈
All Sony needs to do is add 30fps h.265, which is missing for no reason. Oh, and open gate of course. Both of these are trivial..a few lines of code.
I don't think there will be a direct successor to the A7S3. But that out of the way i also don't think the A7V will have a new sensor. It will be like a A7CII in a new body i think because otherwise it is too close to the A1II which has not changed much if it has 42MPX stacked. Or they will cripple the stack sensor to be only used in video.
I think Sony should focus more in simple things that matter and are cheap to develop:
- Open Gate recording, even if it's only 8bit or line skipped 10bit
- Record to an SSD via USB-C, that's a big thing not only for video, but for burst photography too
- Better slowmo / high frame rates for video, with AF, even if it's with a crop, 8bit and line skipped
- Reduce the rolling shutter even if that mean a bit less dynamic range.
Hi!
Who knows really what Sony will do, I understand that people might cross fingers for a 44 mp sensor, would it be stacked, though? I remember that you did a video talking about this sensor and the rumor that it could go to the a9iii. However, having so many high mp cameras could indeed canibalize sales, but that's just what I think. On the other hand, I think people underestimate the versatility that a 24 mp camera offers, like the Z6iii for example: smaller files, faster transfer, less storage space. Event photographers really like these type of cameras. Also, what would be the price? still the 2500$?
Anyway, Sony has a tendency to keep the same sensor for 2 generations, so let's see what happens.
All best!
A brilliant move would be to blow away the 24mp mid-range hybrid full frame segment with uncropped 4K at 24, 30 and 60 fps, all of Sony’s A/I tech plus swivel screen with a 44mp sensor for around $2500 or perhaps a bit more.
Wish list, bigger grip body (like the a9 iii/a1) no crop at 60p 4k, i’m a simple man, and it seems like 33mp is good enough.
I don't know what to think. Sony usually was 4 years in the future compared to the competitors, now Sony is 4 years in the past, except for the A9 III.
Sony needs to make a big step to beat the competitors.
This A7V will obviously have a new body introduced by the A9III, AI Processing unit.
Sony usually keep their sensors during 2 generations. The 33 MP sensor introduced on the A7IV can be used on the A7V with a faster read out speed, improved colours, noise reduction and dynamic range.
Will it have Pre-capture ?
Wait and see.
Yo creo que se quedara con el mismo sensor y solo cambiarán el cpu y implementar su ia chip
Well, idk. We have sony a7RV on the market already, so I don't think that a7V should surpass it so greatly (if we stick to Sony's logic). I think it will be similar to R5, only less megapixels. If we get 4k60 uncropped, it would be nice already (imo). The specs mentioned in this video most likely could be implemented in a7VI model, imho. It's not unreasonable to say that the Simple 7th Series are in a certain price range, and if they put everything in it that's said in this video, the point of the Simple 7 Series will be also lost and out of Sony's logic.
Tbh i would be a lot happier with a 24mp stacked sensor. It’s more than enough megapixels to anyone that wants a hybrid camera til $2500.
And even if they use the same sensor, just the body, af and new tilt-flip screen are all worth the upgrade.
How do we know this new announcement won’t be the a7Rvi?
Too early for A7RV
@
Not sure why you say that. Here are the previous release dates:
Sony A7R - October 2013
Sony A7R II - June 2015 (20 months later)
Sony A7R III - October 2017 (28 months later)
Sony A7R IV - July 2019 (20 months later)
Sony A7R V - October 2022 (40 months later)
The average interim is 27 months - and it’s already been 26 months.
In fact, the only release to take longer than 28 months was the a7Rv, developed during Covid, so it’s arguably a non-representative data point. If you leave it out, the average interim is only 22.7 months.
@@brotherted9212 in 2025 for sure, but Id be surprised if they announced it now, Id bet on the second half of 2025 IMO
The a 7 line is 10 fps dudes. Stop.dreaming.
I believe that Sony and all camera makers should stop teasing and release the technology because technology improves so quickly, that the tech is outdated /surpassed between the time a new camera is released, especially in the case of Sony.
Would A7 V be a worthy contender of the Canon R5M2?
I so much hope this is not happening! What I want from Sony is a camera with the same resolution as the A7 IV maximum but definitely faster read out speed (ideally a stacked sensor) and thus the ability to shoot 4K 60p (ideally 120p) without crop. The AI chip and the new style screen are pretty much a given. In my opinion, the biggest problem with Sony is that they have so many different cameras that it's really hard for them to bring something that can find its place on the market without canibalizing the other cameras.
They really need a new A7 model to compete with Canon and Sony mid class bodies. Which means at least "partly stacked" sensors with at least 15fps stills, 4k/60 no crop and better IBIS, of course without compromising their great DR. If this is not delivered I see many lost customers. Canon started being more open about 3rd party leases policy, let see how it goes..
Yeah, but will it take decent photos?
I feel like the A7CR cannibalized a bit of the A7RV sales. So it wouldn't be out of the question to do it again.
I still can’t believe all the Sony glazers after releasing “new cameras” with previous or old sensors that retail for more 😂
They won't end up cannibalizing A1 II sales even with a bold A7V because people buy A7 series for it's value proposition at ~ $2000. So people will anyway never spend spend $6500. As more and more content creators are moving towards hybrid model, you can no longer keep people interested in a different A7S series. Most filmmakers who purely shoot videos are already on FX series. Rest of the target customers are hybrid shooters and will be considering A7V for next purchase instead of a new A7S model anyway.
With that said, I would actually appreciate if Sony focus on IQ improvement instead of more megapixels. 44MP would be a memory hog and introduce ugly noise levels. I'd rather have ~ 30 MP sensor with better readout, faster AI AF, and faster burst shooting.
This is predictable.
4k sensors are antiquated. This new 8k sensor will be used in their FX cameras, allowing the a7 line to replace the a7s.
Also, the FX3 is a better cinema camera body than the a7s, the line has no purpose.
The upgraded AF was already installed in the Sony a7Cii over a year ago. (The a7V and a7Cii are "under the skin" twins.) It's about time. Does it make any sense to introduce a 45MP sensor in a 33MP camera that competes in the mid-range 24MP segment? No. Not really. Not buying it. I would expect an a7V with an upgraded 33MP sensor. Sony already has a resolution advantage over Nikon and Canon.
Is there any chance price cut of a74 after releasing a75
~1600 if you know where to look
I think this camera may well be an FX3 ii.
Hope sony made cheap full frame camera
I do not see it being this bold 45mp and fast read out at all. It would also effect a7rv sales as well as a1 sales especially if it ends up stacked sensor. Much cheaper for effectively very similar camera minus a slightly smaller mp count
Doesn't make sense. It would cannibalise many lines
Saw the Sony UI/Menu "system" on both stills and FX cine cameras. Not for me :)
I hope that Sony A7 V has a tilt screen.
well Andrea thinks it will have the same 33MPx sensor as A7IV. That 44MPx sensor is an option that he sees less likely. Also it would canibalise nothing. A7SIII is dead line (hopefully) and also its main feature is second base ISO at 1600 instead of 400, giving it much cleaner image in low light. That wasnt canibalised by A7VI, nor would it be canibalised by A7V with higher resolution. Only camera the 44MPx option would canibalise is a 42MPx A7RIII and not even that if they differentiate by cost. Also possibility is to discontinue it completely.
My quess is the same old 33MPx, just add AI chip and upgraded A9III style body. And if they really put that new 44MPx in it, the speed will be 15FPS just to not be too close to A1.
Please release a bad camera so I won't feel bad for not upgrading from my trusty a7 IV.
So
no Flippy tilty 360 screen
no A.I. Exposure stacking like smartphones
no higher megapixels than 33 or do 44 Mp with lower dynamic range and higher rolling shutter.
no 120 fps 4k full frame
no Open gate
I think this is for a new R sensor... Is everyone glossing over the 20ppm on that registration? 20ppm pixel density is roughly 76mp on a 35mm sensor.... If that is actually what that 20ppm actually stands for
It will redefine my wallet
Where are the Nikon Z9 v2 rumors?? We know it’s coming soon..
Nothing concrete yet. ive been scanning patent applications for some sign.
They need to drop the price of Sony a1 11.
Sony doesn't believe in dropping the price of their products even when they are years old.
Almost 100% sure the A7V will have the same 33MP sensor, 10 fps raw photos. AI focus chip, the latest flip all directions screen. And probably that's about it.
I’m not super excited about any new camera release any more. Neither a7V or canon r6iii. I’d rather spend my money in marketing my business than upgrading my cameras for just a couple of new features.
I could care less really lol. I've been happy with my 7Riii for many years. I'm only now about to sell it and most of my glass to "downgrade" to a gfx50sii. Still will have my Sony apsc for wildlife/sports.
So sony mk V becomes the R5
i dont think so - if the price is above 3000 its too expensive...
If sony doesn't change the sensor we will get the same ridiculous low fps and horrible rolling shutter...
I bet they're gonna cut some basic features again which will render camera useless for me, like lack bracketing/stacking features and other stuff that exists in much cheaper older cameras
The existing A7iv already has a focus- and other bracketing functions with plenty of customization.
44MP
Makes me feel it must not be for everyone like a7iv n Canon R6m2
4K videos must be crippled, if not camera will be costlier
I'm betting it won't beat Z6 iii
I don’t get it,
There is a Sony A V and lots of A VI and now there is another a5 coming like who in the world can understand this line up
I don't think we'd see a 40+ MP in the A7 V , why would anyone buy the A1 for a lot more if the A7 V can do 20FPS at 40 MP?
I they would pull the same thing as they did with the A1 II , same sensor , updated Ai chip + new processor maybe and call it a day.
Even if they use the exact same sensor with the NEW AI chip, the faithful will Follow no matter how little of a REAL upgrade that will be for most in photography. But if they do something even like a partially stacked sensor such as in the Nikon Z6iii, then Sony might actually have done something.
This is completely false. There is no way the sensor is changing 2 years back to back on the A7 series. Theres honestly no reason to increase the resolution either. The immediate competition for the A7V are the Canon R6 Mark ii and the Nikon Z6iii which are both 24mp which is so much better for a do it all camera. Sony needs to wake up because they are definitely in last place in my book when it comes to specs and usability.
The A7V can’t cannibalize cameras that are already obsolete. The FX3/A7SIII are dead lines and Sony knows it. Keeping 12MP allowed them to get to 4k120 easily. Now that everyone has the processing power for higher MP cameras to do 4k120 there’s really no need for a 12MP camera anymore.
8.7ms sensor readout speed was fast back then. Now the 45MP Canon R5mii has a faster sensor readout speed.
The real issue is how they put distance between this and the A1II. The 5MP difference will be a non factor for most so how else will they cripple it? No pre capture and worse body?
I hope they will but I fear they won't....
All I need is video 4K 60fps no crop and 120fps and I’m a happy man. I stopped using Sony for stills colors are off. I use canon and Nikon for stills with great success. Sony is video only
I wonder of Sony will support this camera with regular firmware updates? 😂 Just kidding, this is Sony after all.
I won’t, especially if it’s got the same viewfinder
It's not gonna happen, no new 44 mp sensor. Just few minor updates that's it. If it was Nikon or canon or even Panasonic then it'll be a possibility but sony! That's not a chance, at best it'll be in a 3500+$ camera
I hate sony so much 😭😭😭😭
We should know in a few months if that is the case.
It will just be an A7IV with a Firmware Update and some AI AF just like the A1II lol
If they gonna just add ai chip it’s better to buy a7cii should be new sensor ☝️
Nah….a7v is just a7iv+AI chip, the new flip screen, maybe pre-capture, maybe 4k60 no crop. That is it. I don’t even think they will add 1/8000s electronic shutter which is so sh1t as my 2020 APS-C Fuji xt-4 has 1/32000 electronic shutter. I have to close down aperture on my 1.4 GM lens with a7iv during mid day which is a bummer.
There gonna stick with 36mp sensor. And it won't have 8k
The more teasing and pretend delay and possible leaks..
(you are acting a hell of a lot good. I guess you will alternate with "serious' attitude)
the more you build your fomlowshit for your aaaaaaaasooooome YT channellll.
作为E8M，没想到会搬运我的微博
sorry no opengate no sony
open gate should be everywhere.
