First LEAKED Sony A7rV image!

Share

This is the first image I can publish from the Sony A7rV that will be announced on October 26. All we can learn from this image are:

  1. The image posted by other websites showing a dial on the top left are fake…I keep telling you this for weeks now :)
  2. The 4K and Steady Shot mark that was on top of the A7rIV is gone
  3. The only major thing we learn from the image is that it uses a fully articulating screen. You can see on the very left the mount point of the screen.

My talk about this and about recent spec rumors here:
