About those rumors: I have no idea who sent them and 90% of the times they turn out to be wrong. But, it happened in the past that a couple of those were right. So I will post them today, and we all together can eventually keep track of this. If one of the sources turns out to be right than we will know we can trust it a bit more!

A7SIv – new stacked 24 sensor dual layer – 4000 dollars

Fx9 – same A7SIv sensor – 14000 dollars
Source 3:
Request for A7sIV improvements were:
- variable stabilization like GoPro, not the crappy active stab (like dynamic stab from a9iii)
- more high dynamic range, possibly an hdr mode which you could even tweak in post in catalyst prepare software.
- exposure meter that measures only parts of the image (for example you can choose face to only measure exposure of the face)
- internal Timecode, over sdi or with QR code scan via app and image sensor
- hyperlapse mode, works with Gyrodata and automatically crops the image for perfect hyperlapses

I was at my local Sony store in NZ, all the physical stores are closing here and in Australia, due to sales being down 15%, economy isn’t doing the greatest at the moment. All sales will be done online after March when the stores close.
But one of the staff at the store told me the A7V will be 51 mp?! That can’t be true, but you never know.
