David Schloss: “should you buy the a7R5 now?”

Share

Sony A7rV Preorders:
In US at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, FocusCamera, BeachCamera, Buydig.
In EU at Fotokoch, Amazon EU, FotoErhardt, Calumet DE, WexUK. ParkCameras UK.
In Australia at CameraPro, Camerahouse, Sony.

David Schloss reviewed the Sony A7rV and his conclusion in short:

Buy the Sony A1 if you need 10fps or faster, buy the Sony a7rv if your current camera is dying or you need a camera today, no one should buy an a9, and everyone else should wait.

FUTURE Sony cameras: The A6xxx, A9III, A7sIII and many more need a replacement in 2023!

Share

We ain’t getting any new camera in November-December. But in 2023 a lot of Sony Alpha cameras are due for a replacement:

  • Sony A6600 (August 28, 2019) 3 years and 4 months old
  • Sony A6100 (August 28, 2019) 3 years and 4 months old
  • Sony A9II (October 3, 2019) 3 years and 2 months old
  • Sony A7sIII (July 28, 2020) 2 years and 4 months old
  • Sony A7c (September 15, 2020)  2 years and 2 months old
  • Sony A1 (January 26, 2021) 1 year and 11 months old

Consider that on average Sony announces a camera replacement after 3 years and you will quickly notice a surprisingly large number of cameras will be 3+ year old in 2023!

  • A6xxx:
    The A6xxx line has to be updated in 2023 if Sony still wants to be considered as a serious APS-C contender. And recently Sony stated clearly that they have to release new APS-C bodies: “Unfortunately, I can’t mention future products in detail, but yes, we understand the market demand for APS-C models as well, and we’ve never stopped development of them.”
  • A9III:
    I also do believe the A9III is coming in 2023. I have no solid specs yet but I discussed some wild rumors on my latest youtube video.
  • A7sIV:
    I got no info about a possible A7sIV in 2023. But maybe towards the end of the year we will get an 8K A7sIV too?
  • A7cII:
    I see this likely to be announced in 2023. Basically again a copy paste model of the current A7IV.
  • Sony A1II:
    I think it’s more likely we will get this camera in 2024.

In this list I didn’t mention possible ZV or RX fixed lens cameras…but this is worth to be talked about in a future new post :)

Now released: massive Lexar 320GB CFexpress Type A card ($699 in USA and 499€ Europe)

Share

The new 320GB card is now listed at BHphoto and Amazon. In Europe it’s priced close to 500 Euro at Amazon.

And today only the 160GB card is $128 off at BHphoto.

Lensvid just reviewed those new Lexar cards and concluded:

The Lexar cards seem to perform just as well as the Sony card for stills and video shooting and even better for data transfer to the computer, especially using the new Lexar card reader. Finally, it’s nice to see larger capacities for CFexpress A users on the market now the only thing we want to see are much more competitive pricing.
