Exclusive Leak: Sony A7V Ditches Micro-USB port for Dual USB-C!

A newly leaked image shows the Sony A7V has dropped the Micro-USB port in favor of a second USB-C connection.

UPDATE: I mistakenly told you it would ditch the HDMI port but instead it’s ditching the Micro-USB in favor of an additional USB-C port! The full HDMI port is still there on top left of the camera (you can’t see on this image as cover is not open!

So the way I see it this is a great move! Nobody really cares about Micro USB.

Sony A7V rumored specs :

  • 33MP sensor (probably new!)
  • improved fps rate
  • 8 stops IBIS
  • new AI chip like the Sony A1II
  • Free-Angle Tilting 3.2″ Touchscreen LCD
  • 2x dual Type A SD slot
  • no C5 button
  • improved EVF (5.6m dot?)
  • Same Sony A7rV body design.
  • dual USB-C port
  • price close to $3000
  • Announcement in early December
  • Limited batch ships before Christmas
  • Sony A7V Preorders (open on Dec 2): BHphoto, Amazon.

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

New Voigtländer APO-LANTHAR 28mm F2 Aspherical E-mount lens released

Cosina announced the new Voigtländer APO-LANTHAR 28mm F2 Aspherical E-mount lens (product page here). The lens will start to ship out in December.

Sony E-mount compatible

Equipped with electronic contacts, the lens usage status is reflected in the Exif information of the shooting data. It also has a built-in distance encoder, which supports 5-axis image stabilization on the camera body. It also allows you to zoom in on the viewfinder by operating the focus ring.


Optimized Optical Design

In addition to ensuring a full-size image circle, the optical design is optimized for Sony E-mount sensors, maintaining high resolution all the way to the edges of the screen and suppressing phenomena such as color cast. 

Apochromatic design

To accommodate today’s high-pixel digital sensors, axial chromatic aberration and lateral chromatic aberration have been thoroughly suppressed.

Manual focus for precise focusing

The all-metal helicoid unit is machined and adjusted with high precision, and the use of high-quality grease that generates just the right amount of torque ensures smooth focusing, allowing for subtle focus adjustments.

Aperture click switching mechanism

The lens is equipped with an aperture click switching mechanism that allows the aperture ring to be opened and closed continuously without making a clicking sound, eliminating the need to worry about the sound of the aperture ring being picked up when recording video.
