@@Bobdrumbro The new flip screen is definitely a need and not a want. I have cameras with all three kinds of screens A7SIII, A7RV & A1 and let me tell you that the screen on the A7RV is by far the best and makes life much easier for me. I can get shots that only last a moment before they're gone that I would have missed if I was contorting myself just to see my framing.

Sony: Best we can give you is the same sensor

[@kingghidorah8106]

you ask for a better viewfinder? HAAAAAAH, even the A9 and A1/A1II's stacked sensors arent' able to keep the resolution above 480p, why would you want a 1080p viewfinder if it's going down to 340p when the camera has to do anything? the EVF on the 10 year old A77II is better, it is only 540p, but it stays 540p even on maximum effort. The A7IV's EVF goes from 720p to 340p even when it has to think where to peak what's in focus, making manual focus a horrible experience.

[@engineer4862]

and better low light performance.

[@alexchen4442]

conservative scenario is terrible. It's not like it's the a1 ii where it's already so good. I'm hoping for 15fps - 20fps shooting, higher readout speed, A7RV A1 ii flip out screen, ai chips for sure, better video codecs. The competition is crushing the a7iv at this point, 10fps is just so slow compared to competitors even if it's 33mp vs 24mp. I doubt we'll get 44mp sensor though

If they use the same sensor as the A7IV, no one is going to buy the A7V. The A7IV is good enough that people will not only buy the A7V for software updates and AI autofocus, which, to be honest, isn’t a big deal.

[@sgpork]

Well... 1 dont have to buy or upgrade their stuff every gen.. and that's the problem. Everyone just whine the whole time.. Skip afew gen and you'll feel the upgrade/change more significant. Old/Current gear wont stop working if new one is release...

[@xintophotography9848]

It will almost certainly have the new AI chip, making it a more competitive camera. Sony needs a competitive camera for new buyers more than it needs an amazing camera to push A74 users to upgrade.

[@annoholics]

The 44 MP option seems unrealistic to me. It would cannibalize the A7R V. You could even say it is poor man's A1 II. On the other hand, I would never upgrade to the conservative version with the same sensor and slightly better autofocus. The autofocus of the A7 IV is already pretty good.

[@plutonium5156]

And the a7r III 42 MP is still selling for almost the same price as the a7 IV. The r line sells for a premium

[@tominatorxx]

My guess/love to get would be: - 33MP - 12 - 15 fps (would make a lot of sense, since the entry level FF users love to use third party lenses and they can't go faster than 15 fps anyway) - 8 stops IBIS - AI chip - Improved autofocus (that has become a given with every new camera) - Improved EVF - 5 AXIS flip screen. Price: €2.600 - €2.900

[@Marcus_Visbal]

Sony cannibilizes everything, the a7IV was supposed to be the poor man’s A1. I could see Sony absolutely throwing everything at it. They need to make some big improvements to stay ahead of the competition

[@frogmanyt2515]

It wouldn't make sense to only upgrade the autofocus and keep the same sensor because the A7CII is exactly that. Better autofocus, same sensor, just in a smaller body. Releasing the A7V as a A7CII in a bigger body would be idiotic on their part. (So let's hope they don't do that lol)

[@vincentsolon3216]

finally it will be my first fullframe camera. Been shooting events using a6000 for 11 years

[@三上家]

I used A7iV for years and I have serious issues with it's usability for video. The issue is that it's marketed as a hybrid camera but fails largely to be a good video camera. They need to fix overheating on the camera, we need full sensor readout for 4k 60p. We also need better stabilization because some of the native glass would benefit from it even more. I would say 44 megapixels is fine as long as we don't lose low light ability for video, if it becomes more of a photo centric camera I don't think I will buy this one but rather just skip it. Megapixels were never the issue with A7iV, it's the above and ability to take low light video which must be improved. Regarding lenses, we need a 20mm f1.4 Sony GM 82mm filter thread, and we also need 28-105 f2.8 GM Lens. We also need updated 135mm f1.8 GM II with teleconverter, lighter glass and better close up - minimum focusing distance performance. I think updated 24mm f1.4 with better minimum focusing distance would be nice.

[@bioliv1]

Will it be launched with a new 24-105 mm f4 GII as a combo?

Sony should Make a competing model to The Nikon Z8 and Canon R5ii

[@gaming-fuel6250]

never the competitor with the cameras you named! not for 2000-2500 $

[@urbanie]

a1ii fills that role. sony markets their cameras differently than canon and nikon. their flagships, the r1 and z9 are more of a fast action camera made for shooting sports, while sony created the a1 series to be strictly a hybrid jack of all trades. i think the a9iii should be compared to r1 and z9 instead of a1ii because thats sony's fast action competitor

[@tomirwinphoto]

A7V Question for techies: Can the 33mp sensor be configured to output fast enough to reduce rolling shutter? Achieve 15 fps? And shoot 60 fps in 4K with little to no crop? If not, it would fail to match the Nikon Z6III, Canon R6II and upcoming R6III. For Sony to compete it appears this would leave them with the new 44mp sensor for the a7V if they were to leapfrog the competition. Thoughts?

[@DieHardEddieEdwards]

I'd be fine if the MP count was the same for the A7IV, but the issue with the sensor is just that it's so slow and the crop in 4K/60. That's the main complaint with that camera. With the A1 II, it wasn't sexy, but there isn't any big need for more megapixels than 50, it shoots fast enough, etc. With the A7IV, it was just too slow and kind of limiting with the 4K/60 crop. Outside of that, it's kind of a perfect everyday camera. I'm not sure that I'd love 44 MPs to be honest. The megapixels aren't as big of a deal beyond 33.

[@Smoothblue90]

I have two a 7IV's. I thought that I was going to be taking more 4K video but I don't. I love the video photo switch under the mode dial. And I love the programmable exposure compensation dial that I can program to manual ISO when I am in M mode. And I love the slightly more megapixels than my previous camera for when I need to crop in. So I agree. Very good very solid camera.

[@-MrEVIL-]

It's slower because of the mp count Has to read 7k, cant bin Higher res would allow binning thus better rolling shutter

[@LindonSlaght]

A lot more goes into readout speed than resolution. For example, the A1 II reads out wayyyy faster than the A7IV despite having 17 more megapixels. I'd think that would be obvious. ​@@-MrEVIL-

At this point, I just can't see how they could possibly mess this up, at worst it should be an exceptional camere, with somewhat minor but meaningfull improvements in large quantity!

[@PetrKlapper]

Let's be realistic here, all that 33MP sensor needs Is a faster readout for 4K60 FF and lower rolling shutter. It will not get close to any other much better/more specialized camera Sony makes. Hoping for 44MP, 8K etc in a base model that has a hard time to cool 4K30 in it's current form is just not probable. What I think most likely is again combination of features/upgrades, no one major one, but more of what's available. So partially stacked 33MP (like 2x speed makes it work), 4K60 FF, better VF (but not flagship), hopefully the modern LCD, refined AF + the AI chip, and some video features, that's it. No magic for the still 'basic' model, but overall solid upgrade on many fronts and huge jump from A7iii.

[@kingghidorah8106]

A1 II is a partially stacked sensor (it's not fully stacked, otherwise it's EVF and readout speeds would be much higher but evf still drops to VGA from Full HD if the camera feels a single button being pressed)

[@PetrKlapper]

@@kingghidorah8106 These 2 things are not directly causing one another - the sensor is of course fully stacked and the EVF behavior is not caused by any partiality, but most likely by some other processing limitation 'on the way'.

[@kingghidorah8106]

@@PetrKlapper every technician says that "sony cameras reduce viewfinder resolution during af-c/ibis/shutter/focus peaking because the sensor has a low readout so a1 and a9 camera models with stacked sensors won't have this issue", yet they do have it. Care explaining why the EVF on the 10 year old A77II or A99II stay 480p during af-c, IBIS and 12fps despite having just a BIONZ chip instead of the BIONZ XR cpu that A9III and A1II have? And I believe they have not one, but two of them plus AI assist. The A9III and A1 have the same 1080p viewfinder and yet the resolution drops to 320p, say, LOWER than the 10 year old ILCA SLT cameras that have to put all their raw performance onto high density pixel sensors and higher mechanical burst rates that of course are also casted at higher bit rate since a99ii can perform 11.5 fps lossless uncompressed raw while a9iii can only do 120 on lossy compressed and a1 can only do 20fps in anything higher than compressed 12 bit raw.

@kingghidorah8106 Don't care ;) You just assume there's only one explanation while there could be other bottlenecks between the start and finish.

[@kingghidorah8106]

@@PetrKlapper you don't care, but you should. The highly advanced cameras that Sony makes (and prices 2K more than they actually worth, poor sony artisans can't buy their third G Master prime tele in a year) should not fall behind the other brands in term of workflow performance. Because these bottlenecks are pretty fundamental. It is not like say a 1080p viewfinder dropping to 720p, but rather below 10 year old viewfinders; or shooting 30fps lossy raw or below instead of "around 20fps or less on anything above uncompressed raw, which is basically JPEG plus".

[@longrider9551]

Nikon already has partial stacked sensor high fps, Canon rumors says r6 going stacked and my company Sony the one who invented stack sensors is still hanging on to rolling shutters. Makes no sense. They're still hanging on to 10 frames. A second makes no sense

[@WAPhoto]

It’s scenario #1. Look what they did with the A1II.

[@cjenkins79]

Sony went from being ahead in sensor tech to being behind. The Z6III has a stacked sensor. Canon has the R5mii which is 45MP and decent sensor readout making it comparable to the A1II for $2200 less. The Canon R6III is rumored to have the R3 sensor which is fully stacked. Not sure how Sony competes if they use the same sensor.

[@benoittissier58]

I switched from the A7iv to a used A1 only because of random AF for sports. A stacked sensor is required to solve this issue. It will allow precapture and will be able to compete with the R6iii. With 33 MP, I may downgrade to get the screen tilting in vertical position. With lower sensor specs, I can’t see me buying Sony gear new before next generation.

[@marcotine5847]

Id rather keep 33mp but get a faster readout. Also 4k60 oversampled full frame and 4k120 cropped seems reasonable. A9iii body. More than 10 fps pics? 10 is fine maybe they give us 15. Of course new ai stuff as well. I feel like this would be a great upgrade over the A7iv (which i own) and would love to see these implemented in the next generation A7V. Id 100% pay 2400$ for these specs no questions asked

Will it overheat and shut down when shooting video like the IV does? If it does, it's a no-go for me. I sold my IV because of this problem.

[@bitdancer1005]

Sony has no direct competitor for the Canon R5 II. The A1 II is $2200 USD more than the R5 II. The A7R5 does not supply the same performance in FPS, rolling shutter, and video. I own the R5 II and owned the A7R5. I think Sony will pursue the bolder approach and shake up the market. They've heard to disappointment with the A1 II and know the performance of the R5 II.

[@myblujl7503]

[@kirilpetrov2331]

The logic for the conservative scenario does not match. If you say it will have the same sensors and CPU from A7iv, how would it be possible to have 4k60p no crop then? Sony knows that in order to sell their new camera for sure there needs to be 4k60p no crop (reading the full sensors, like r6 ii and z6iii) and 15+ fps electronic shutter stills. In order to have it they need either stacked sensor or more CPU power and better heat distribition. This is the only way it can be called a "new" model. Otherwise it is simply A7iv with an updated body and EVF - it is a joke :)

[@timchambers5242]

It would be best to stay with the same MPixels so it can have a faster readout, less rolling shutter effect & no crop for 4K60 or better. Leave the larger MPixel sensors for the current/newer models in the A7R, A9 & A1 series. 12MP for mixed use still/video is too low for many stills, so we need to compromise somewhere in the middle. The main update will probably be adding the AI AF, improve LCD & reduce power usage (lower heat).

[@Creative.visionzz]

Lmao 8k 30 is reaching, especially because it couldn’t even handle 4k60

[@2424rocket]

It always amuses me when people say “better rolling shutter“… We all know, of course, that they mean less rolling shutter. Us video people are waiting for the FX4 thank you!

[@holgerokorn3164]

A Sony 7V would be good news. Then hopefully there will be thousands of used Sony 7IVs. Used price Eur 1100 would be nice

[@Jonathantuba]

Dont Sony nearly always use a sensor for at least two generations before updating? So a 44mp sensor seems unlikely. Also 20fps sounds too much competition for the A1ii to be likely. Maybe 15fps? But A9iii body with the multi tilt screen must be likely after how popular these have proved. That alone would get a lot of upgrades. BTW I think the A1ii is more popular than you think. I spoke to the main dealer in the UK today about my pre order and heard their first 3 batches of A1ii have already pre-sold - so sounds rather popular

[@johannvantassel4604]

they need to make leaps for the a7V. They cant just release a large-body version of the a7Cii. Im predicting 20fps at least, because it wouldn’t compete with the a9 series anymore like it would’ve before the a9iii came out

[@ernstvandijk6342]

The A7 V would be much more expensive with the new sensor, which would be a bad thing. I don't expect Sony to implement it.

[@222jojo]

when you say the "New Body Design" hopefully that includes the latest flip/rotating better screen system

[@myst2986]

I’ve been saving to get a A7IV and I could finally pull the trigger.Should I wait for the A7V and get that instead?

[@michellsantana6402]

Just 4k 60p without crop and new body so it takes longer to overheat.

[@theendurance]

sony needs higher resolutions and framerates...z6 III has 6k 60 for just $2500..

[@steveatesh]

Really hope it has the upgraded sensor!

[@TBills3000]

Ill get an A7V probably sometime in 2026 when there are some used models for a decent price. Brand new they will probably be $2,800

[@SuchetB]

The conservative prediction is unrealistic as the upgraded viewfinder will be pointless, especially if the video files resolutions are the same as A7IV - I think users want higher resolutions, maybe an 8k downsize to 6k option, and a the usual 4K options and maybe options to record directly to an SDD that would be nice.

[@99unclebob]

Andrea, nice update on the A7V, when i bought my A7IV just 3 yrs ago this month i paid $3299 , if the new A7V is only $3500 that is a very good price if that is what it ends up selling for, these are Canadian dollars i am talking about, right now here the A7IV is priced down to $2800 by Sony Canada, if the new A7V comes with the new bigger sensor and all the things you listed, take my money I will upgrade and sell the A7IV and probably my A77 MK2 which is an awesome camera that i still get lots of use from it and yes it does 20fps easily at 24 megapixels raw no problem, I will be sad to see it go, if the new camera is going to be that good, I will buy it and not upgrade again for at least 5 to 6 years 👍

[@tennissir1986]

What he’s basically saying is the A74 can receive most of these modifications via a firmware update.

[@durdalidalgin]

If the Sony a7 V comes with a 44MP sensor and the other innovations you mentioned, I wonder how Sony will manage to sell the Sony a1 Mark II.

[@Battlem0nk]

By releasing a A1 III earlier than expected.

[@JohnB551]

Any rx100viii news?

[@GloryAndy]

+1 😢

[@nevvanclarke9225]

There is nothing wrong with the 100Vi???

[@benjiang9789]

I‘d love to have a Sony RX1RIII or medium format camera with a fixed lens.

[@strippedlist]

i want same sensor stacked!!! 33 mp, 6k 30 not in crop, new screen a7r5, dual cf A, the new sensor is for the a7ivs!!!!

[@przybylskipawel]

The bold specs camera has no recent camera to compete against except for the a1 II. Unless against the old Canon R5. Of cource this could be somewhat competeing with the Nikon 45Mpix Cameras sitting between the fast ones and Z7II

[@かま二郎]

New version of 400f2.8 is coming out in 2025?

[@sgpork]

if the GMii is 2KG i'll buy one.

[@SilverHalides]

I hope to see an A7R VI with an 80 MP sensor in 2025.

[@terje5723]

No way it will be 44MP. Either they keep the current 33MP or they use a new stacked sensor to compete with the Canon R6III and Nikon Z6III as they should. A 30+MP stacked sensor with the new screen and the AI chip would be pretty nice, but that would steal lots of sales from the higher models. Kind of a sticky situation for Sony. The original A9 came out 2017, why are Sony so slow rolling out stacked sensors?

[@petrg68]

So it'll be just as slow a piece of shit as the A7IV. Time to go to another brand.

[@SimuFilmmaker]

mas mpx seria un error, para eso están las a7r, 44mpx es exagerado, mas peso pero no significa mas calidad, al contrario, mejor 24mpx y que alcance 4k 60fps sensor completo

[@devklepacki]

It seems that currently except for some utility functionality there's not much to be added to the cameras. It's all just small incremental improvements, just like smartphones. There was a HUGE jump between A7II and III, and later A7IV improved on many things that A7III was lacking, but these were already mostly annoyances or things like eye AF in video. From now on what can they improve? Better ergonomics, screen, AF, more ports, faster readout... Which were already almost perfect for such an all-round camera! But that's all nice to have. If you MUST have 4k 60fps you would have already bought another camera. If you must have 15 FPS photos you would have already bought another camera. And so on and so on. Of course, AF will be better, but still depends on what one is shooting, in a studio environment or on-site video recordings I personally had a 99% hit rate so I don't need it to be any better. And also they cannot do anything that will cannibalize their other lines. Why would I need more battery life? I already have 4 batteries and they last me for nobody knows how much because I've never had a situation where that wasn't enough, even for 12h shooting days. Even if - how much -could they improve it? 10%? Better just go and buy 2 more batteries!

[@kraft1954]

It seems to me that after A1 II there will be no changes except for the AI chip. Probably your first version!

[@nightdonutstudio]

a7 series is very important model for Sony.
