The speculated roadmap by DigitalCameraWorld…

Just a weird mockup of a non-existing Sony camera

Digitalcameraworld shared their speculation about the Sony cameras that are in the works and could be released in 2025:

Sony 

• Camera: Sony A7 V (successor to A7 IV)
• Sensor: 44MP (potentially Sony’s new sensor)
• Resolution: Likely to rival Canon EOS R5 (45MP) and Nikon Z8, but not surpass Sony A1 (50MP) or A7R V (61MP)
• AI Features: Significant AI-driven features expected (similar to Canon EOS R1 and R5 Mark II)
• Burst Speed: Improvement to the current 10fps, aligning with competitors
• Video: Removal of crop in 4K 60p video
• Release: Delayed; now expected in 2025

Sony A7sIV

• Camera: Sony A7S III launched in October 2020, overdue for a refresh
• Successor: The A7S IV is rumored for release in 2024, likely syncing with the October launch of the A7S III’s predecessor
• Sensor: Potential debut of a new dual-layer sensor, possibly the same as the partially stacked sensor seen in the Nikon Z6 III
• Resolution: The 24.5MP sensor capable of internal full-frame 6K 60p RAW, full-frame 1080p 240p, and APS-C 4K 120p
• 8K Omission: Rumored absence of 8K recording, a deviation from typical flagship features
• Video Features: The A7S IV is expected to focus on improving low-light and dynamic range performance while maintaining high-quality video recording
• Other Models: The A7S III has had indirect successors in the form of the Sony FX3, Sony FX6, and Sony ZV-E1

Sony FX3II

• Upcoming Camera: The Sony FX3 II is rumored to be the next camera in the FX series, potentially replacing the A7S IV rather than being released in addition to it.
• Shared Architecture: It’s suggested that both the FX3 and FX6 may share the same architecture as the A7S III due to their similar design.
• Sensor Rumors: Some rumors indicate the new camera could feature a 12MP global shutter sensor, although this seems unlikely given Sony’s focus on global shutter technology. Chinese whispers tend to be unreliable, but it’s not entirely out of the question.
• Potential New Sensor: The rumored Nikon Z6 III partially stacked sensor, a 24.5MP option, could also make sense for the new FX camera, which would match the trend of improving low-light and dynamic range performance.

Sony A6200

• Camera: The Sony A6200 was originally expected to arrive in the summer and is said to feature the same excellent 26MP image sensor as the Sony A6700.
• Shared Sensor: The same sensor has also been used in the Sony ZV-E10 II, which raises the question of whether Sony or consumers really need both the A6200 and A6700, especially with the ZV camera as a third option.

Sony RX1rIII

• Affordable Alternative: If you’ve been waiting for an affordable alternative to the Leica Q3, you might be in luck.
• New RX1: Sony Rumors has speculated that Sony could resurrect its full-frame compact camera line with a new RX1, the first since the 2016 RX1R II.
• Resurgence of Compact Cameras: Compact cameras have been seeing a resurgence lately, thanks to the success of the Leica Q3 and the Fujifilm X100VI, making it interesting to see what Sony will bring to the market.
