Petapixel is betting high on Sony launching a 80 Megapixel Sony A7rVI and new RX1 in 2025

Share

PetaPixel made a forecast for 2025 and thinks Sony will launch those two cameras:

1) Sony will launch the a7R VI and it will feature a jump to 80-megapixels.

The a7R V is a great camera, but Sony will finally answer calls to make a full-frame camera that will make the most significant megapixel jump in recent memory. Technically, Sony semiconductor already has the ability to make a 90-megapixel full-frame camera based on Fujifilm’s excellent 40-megapixel APS-C sensor, so there is an easy way to get to this mark. The only thing holding that sensor back would be its scan speed, but for a stills-focused camera, that might not be a deal-breaker.

2) Sony probably will lean more toward bringing back the RX1 rather than an RX100-style camera.

What do you think about this?

My own take based on good guess and NOT on rumors:

I am really not sure the A7rVI will still be announced in 2025….and much less sure we will get the RX1 successor. But of course I hope to be proven wrong!
