First WILD rumors about the Sony A7sIV specs: 2 layer sensor and crazy ISO performance?

Share

The A7sIII is nearly four years old. So it’s now due of a replacement. But I did not get any info yet from trusted sources about when to expect the new A7sIV. Sometimes I even wonder if tere will be ever a new A7sIV because of cameras like the FX3 and A9III that can do perfectly fine video too.

All I am getting now are wild rumors from unknown sources. Here I am going to share one of them just for the sake of discussion. Would a A7sIV with 2 layer sensor make sense to you? Here are the rumored specs:

My info about A7siv – Actual: 20.5 Megapixel
Effective: 19 Megapixel same/similar as FX9, but with 2 layer transistor and large photodiode for 2x low light.

Stacked sensor.
No global shutter but very low rolling shutter.
No AA filter.
6k120p 6k60 6k30 6k24.
4k120/60/30/24 Oversampled from 6k crisp image.
8 stops ibis standard plus dynamic active stab.
Dual iso with second iso at 25600 !
Slightly Improved evf, screen.
Better ergonomics.
No overheating new radiator to withstand increased resolution and oversampling.

All the best.
Price increase from 3499$ to 4000$ only.

Question to my readers: Best gear to scan film with Sony A7rV camera

Share

Hi Folks!

I am currently investigating the ideal setup to scan my 35mm and 120mm film rolls using my Sony A7rV. If you have some experience in this please let me know what your gear is. For now this is the gear that is on my shopping list:

Lens: Laowa 90mm 2:1 macro lens (maybe short focal length would be better?)
Scan kit: Valoi 360 (Would love ot get the Negative supply kit but this we can’t buy in Europe).
Copy Stand: Novoflex ms repro
Head: Manfrotto 234rc
Mat: Ansio cutting mat.
Software: NegativeLabPro.

One ore thing regarding development kit:
I am highly intrigued by this gear made by a German Chemist: https://www.filmomat.eu/light

WILD RUMORS about a new FX50

Share

We can be 99% certain the next Sony camera to be announced is a new videocamera. Most likely a new FX E-mount model. I got no info from trusted sources about the possible specs. So here is one of the “WILD” rumors I got:

The Super 35mm variant of the ILME-FX6 seems to be coming next year. It appears to be called the ILME-FX50 with 8-speed IBIS, variable e-ND. It is known to support 4K/120p recording, with its resolution not officially specified to dealers. I don’t know if it will continue to use the ILME-FX30’s sensor, or if it will use a lower resolution sensor similar to the ILME-FX6, such as quad-bayer binning variant for the X-H2’s sensor.

What are your thoughts on this?
