100% Confirmed: Sony A7V Launching Early December with 33MP Sensor and New Leaked Images!

Share

The past horse I got some additional info:

  • Now I am 100% certain the Sony A7V will be announced in very early December (Dec 5?)
  • 100% confirmed the sensor is 33MP (unclear if same or updated version of the Sony A7IV sensor)
  • Improved EVF (unclear about resolution)
  • I got two more leaked images (see below)

Sony A7V rumored specs:

  • 33MP sensor (unclear if same of the A7IV or tweaked or new partially stacked)
  • improved fps rate (15fps?)
  • 8 stops IBIS
  • new AI chip like the Sony A1II
  • 4 way fully articulating screen
  • 2x dual Type A SD slot
  • no C5 button
  • improved EVF (5.6m dot?)
  • Same Sony A7rV body design.
  • price close to $3000
  • Announcement in early November
  • Limited batch ships before Christmas

Three lenses are on Sony’s roadmap:

  • 100-400mm f/4.0 GM
  • 100-400mm G (variable aperture)
  • ultra wide angle f/2.0 GM zoom

So that’s it for now! I hope we will soon get the definitive answer about the sensor…is it new or not?

🔥 Sony A7V Coming Early December — New Leaked Image Revealed!

Share

Today we finally got the new Canon R6 III, but in just one month we’ll see the Sony A7V!

According to two sources, Sony will announce the camera in early December. A small initial batch is expected to ship before Christmas, while most photographers will likely receive theirs in January.

I also received a new leaked image showing the front of the camera. As expected, there’s no C5 button, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the camera won’t include pre-capture functionality.

There’s no confirmation yet about any new lenses being unveiled alongside the A7V, but three new Sony lenses are reportedly scheduled for release in the coming months:

  • 100-400mm f/4.0 GM
  • 100-400mm G (variable aperture)
  • ultra wide angle f/2.0 GM zoom

The sources haven’t shared any specifications yet, but here’s what we’ve gathered over the past month:

  • 33MP sensor (unclear if same of the A7IV or new partially stacked)
  • improved Fps rate (15fps?)
  • 8 stops IBIS
  • new AI chip like the Sony A1II
  • 4 way fully articulating screen
  • 2x dual Type A SD slot
  • no C5 button
  • Same Sony A7rV body design.
  • price close to $3000
  • Announcement in early November
  • Limited batch ships before Christmas

So that’s it for now! I hope we will soon get the definitive answer about the sensor…is it new or not?

Canon R6III vs Sony A7IV comparison!

Share

full spec comparison chart can be found here at BHphoto

I provided ChatGPT with the full Canon R6 III specifications and transcripts from a dozen respected YouTube reviewers, then asked it to create a detailed comparison between the Canon R6 III and the Sony A7 IV.

📸 SENSOR & IMAGE QUALITY
Canon R6 Mark III: 32.5 MP BSI CMOS (non-stacked)
Sony A7 IV: 33 MP BSI CMOS (non-stacked)
➡ Tie – Both sensors are very close in resolution and dynamic range.

⚡ SPEED & BUFFER
Canon: 12 fps (mechanical) / 40 fps (electronic) + RAW pre-capture (≈ 0.5 s before press)
Sony: 10 fps max (mechanical or electronic) (no pre-capture)
➡ Canon wins by far – 4× faster, pre-capture records before you even react, and the new CFexpress Type B slot clears buffers up to 5× faster. Wildlife testers confirmed ≈ 200 RAWs at 40 fps before slowdown.

🎯 AUTOFOCUS & SUBJECT DETECTION
Canon: Dual Pixel AF II + Deep Learning AI, registers faces (10 people / 6 groups), tracks animals, birds, vehicles with face priority. Works down to –6.5 EV.
Sony: Real-Time Tracking AF with human & animal eye AF (+ bird mode since firmware v2.0). Works down to –4 EV.
➡ Canon wins – The new “face registration” and steadier small-subject tracking outperform Sony’s AF in complex scenes.

🪄 STABILIZATION
Canon: up to 8.5 stops IBIS + lens IS sync
Sony: 5.5 stops IBIS
➡ Canon clearly ahead – Stable handheld video even at 600–1200 mm and razor-sharp 1/5 s stills.

🎥 VIDEO CAPABILITIES

Feature Canon R6 III Sony A7 IV
Max Resolution 7K RAW Open Gate → 4K 4K 60 (1.5× crop)
4K 60 / 120 No crop 60 / slight crop 120 Crop 60 / no 120
Bit Depth & Codecs 12-bit RAW / 10-bit C-Log 2 & 3 / HLG / PQ 10-bit 4:2:2 S-Cinetone
HDMI Full-size Full-size
Overheating Moderate (≈ 30 min 4K60 @ 22 °C before 2 bars) Minimal but lower data rates

➡ Canon wins decisively – 7K RAW oversample, C-Log 2/3, waveforms, false color and full HDMI bring it into pro-video territory. Sony is strong for hybrid use but less advanced for video work.

🧠 REAL-WORLD USABILITY
Canon’s field tests highlight its wildlife excellence: fast, accurate AF; reliable tracking on tiny birds; impressive high-ISO sharpness (up to ISO 12 800 clean). Pre-capture proved “game-changing.” Sony feels slower for bursts and less intuitive in AF-mode switching.

🌙 LOW-LIGHT & DYNAMIC RANGE
Both perform well up to ISO 12 800. Canon’s BSI design offers strong detail retention; Sony retains slightly more shadow latitude at base ISO.
➡ Tie / slight Canon edge at high ISO; Sony edge in shadow dynamic range.

📁 MEDIA & CONNECTIVITY
Canon: CF Express Type B + UHS-II SD, full HDMI, mic + headphone, USB-C PD power.
Sony: 2× UHS-II SD (or limited CF Express Type A slot).
➡ Canon wins – faster cards, pro connectors, cleaner tethering.

🔋 BATTERY & THERMALS
Canon: LP-E6P battery, good thermal control (but 7K RAW heats up).
Sony: NP-FZ100 battery = slightly longer photo runtime.
➡ Tie – Canon better for video power, Sony for stills longevity.

💡 ERGONOMICS & BUILD
Both are weather-sealed magnesium bodies. Canon’s grip and menus are praised for comfort; Sony for customization.
➡ Canon favored by most reviewers for handling and workflow.

💰 PRICE (Nov 2025)
Canon R6 III ≈ € 2 799 / $ 2 799
Sony A7 IV ≈ € 1 949 / $ 1 998
➡ Sony wins on price (≈ $ 800 less).

Category Winner
Resolution Tie
Speed / Burst Canon R6 III
Autofocus Canon R6 III
IBIS Canon R6 III
Video Canon R6 III
Dynamic Range Slight Sony
Battery Life Slight Sony
Ergonomics / Ease Canon R6 III
Price / Value Sony A7 IV

🔥 FINAL TAKE
If you’re a hybrid shooter or wildlife / sports photographer, → Canon R6 Mark III is the clear winner: faster bursts, pre-capture, superior AF, 8.5-stop IBIS, and pro-grade video tools.
If you’re budget-conscious or primarily a portrait / studio shooter, → Sony A7 IV remains an excellent alternative with mature color workflow, longer battery life, and slightly better shadow recovery.
