Next set of WILD Sony A7V specs: 44MP, 4k120p, price close to 3000 Euro

Share

Trusted sources have confirmed that the Sony A7V will not be launched until 2025. They did not share reliable specs yet, but a new source shared this information today. Since it’s a new source, the rumor could be completely false. But it is based on the REAL IMX366 sensor, which could indeed be perfect for this camera. The new source wrote:

  • The A7 V schedule for early 2025 will finally use Sony the IMX366 44Mp sensor (sensor officially listed here)
  • 120 fps 4k no crop
  • will cost 3000 euros similar to A7 V.

The Sony A7IV was announced in October 2021 and had a price tag of 2799 Euro (now it’s 2200 Euro at Amazon). So I think it’s likely the price will be close to 3000 Euro.

As I told you at the beginning of this article, the source is new, so do not hold me responsible for this. However, if I may guess, I think it is possible that the sensor will be included in the A7V. The official features listed by Sony are:

  • 35mm full size back-illuminated CMOS image sensor
  • Input clock frequency 74.25 MHz
  • All-pixel readout mode *
    Horizontal/vertical 2/2-line binning
    Vertical 1/3 subsampling horizontal 3 binning
    Vertical 1/9 subsampling horizontal 3 binning
  • Window readout function
  • Rolling shutter function moving picture mode
  • All-pixel simultaneous reset supported
  • Electronic first curtain shutter
  • H driver, V driver and serial communication circuit on chip
  • +27dB gain in CDS/PGA on chip
  • Built-in 11-bit/12-bit/13-bit/14-bit A/D converter
  • 16 Lane SLVS-EC interface (2 LINK)
  • R, G, B primary color mosaic filter on chip

So what do you think, would an increase to 44MP be justified?

Shutter 4 for iOS: improved connectivity and UI

Shutter, a popular iOS remote control, has recently been updated with a new interface, additional camera controls, and improved reliability.

Version 4 is available for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. It is a free upgrade for all existing Shutter users.

What’s New

The entire core has been rewritten to better support modern cameras, improve speed and reliability. Shutter gains new video controls, exposure assist tools (zebra, false color, RGB histogram), more intuitive focus options, and a much faster focus bracketing experience.

New Interface

Beautiful redesign that works well for both vertical and horizontal shots. It allows photographers to easily combine timed BULB exposures, intervalometer, exposure bracketing, and focus bracketing for the best results, no matter the subject.

Exposure Assist Tools

Properly expose all your photos and videos using advanced tools like histograms, zebra stripes, or false color.

Focus Bracketing

Following user feedback, focus bracketing has been rewritten to speed up landscape and macro workflows. Simply select the step size, near and far focus limits, and Shutter will do the rest.
You can combine focus bracketing with exposure bracketing for extremely detailed results, and with a self-timer to eliminate camera shake.

Try the new version

The new Shutter is available for free to all existing subscribers. New users can test the app for free for 7 days, then choose between a $25/year subscription or a $65 lifetime option.

Download from the App Store or learn more about Shutter.
