Sidney Diongzon would like the Sony A7V to include the following new features:
Audio-only recording mode with 32-bit float audio — allows recording just audio in-camera without video, useful for voiceovers and maintaining consistent sound without external recorders.
Larger, higher-quality 4-inch screen — similar to the Nikon ZR display, combined with Sony’s four-axis flippy-tilt mechanism, ideally OLED or using Bravia display technology for better color and brightness.
Built-in internal memory (64 GB–128 GB) — provides backup or emergency storage when SD cards are full or forgotten, and can be used for reference photos or videos.
I am 99,999% certain none of these will make it into the Sony A7V…but maybe on cameras coming in 1-2 years from now this would make sense?
UPDATE: After the Canon R6III launch he posted this:
So that’s it for now! I hope we will soon get the definitive answer about the sensor…is it new or not?
The massive Sony holiday savings started today and you can find them on those pages at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama. And the additional $50 cashback has been extended to January 1st!
Today we finally got the new Canon R6 III, but in just one month we’ll see the Sony A7V!
According to two sources, Sony will announce the camera in early December. A small initial batch is expected to ship before Christmas, while most photographers will likely receive theirs in January.
I also received a new leaked image showing the front of the camera. As expected, there’s no C5 button, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the camera won’t include pre-capture functionality.
There’s no confirmation yet about any new lenses being unveiled alongside the A7V, but three new Sony lenses are reportedly scheduled for release in the coming months:
100-400mm f/4.0 GM
100-400mm G (variable aperture)
ultra wide angle f/2.0 GM zoom
The sources haven’t shared any specifications yet, but here’s what we’ve gathered over the past month:
33MP sensor (unclear if same of the A7IV or new partially stacked)
So that’s it for now! I hope we will soon get the definitive answer about the sensor…is it new or not?
