At 4pm Berlin time I will finally publish the 99% confirmed Sony A7V sensor info, frame rate info and one more video spec. It’s going to be an epic day I promise…no disappointments coming from Sony ;)

Now to a BIG personal request. I spent 10.000 Euro so far to build my own giant camera and need more gear (follow Cube Stories on Instagram). If you like to support me without giving me a cent click on those affiliate links today to check for gear deals. Whatever you buy I get a small commission of 1-4% and I will use this to keep shopping: BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, Fotokoch, Foto Erhardt, Calumet, WexUK, Clifton

What I bought so far

• 2500€ Fujiflex 40 meter roll
• 1500€ in Tiffen 6.6×6.6 inch filters
• 1500€ Gossen Mavospec Lite
• 600€ Aputure 80c (for testing, need more powerful LED if testing succeeds)
• 200€ Night Vision Googles
• 300€ Black Tent for testing before I rebuild the metal Cube -> tent is usually used to growth Weed ;)
• 500€ tray to clean the bodies of death people (yeah I need that for developing giant direct positive)
• 3500€ of accessories like black absorbing material, Leaf Blower (yes we need that), Colorchecker, Tripods, Gels…

What I still need to buy:

• Evoke 150c (has better RED than the Aputure but Aputure has better software for pre flashing)
• Evoke 600c
• The Alucbond material to build the cube
• LUMENRADIO MoonLite² CRMX-Transceiver
• Rodenstock 1200 and 1500mm lenses (if I will ever be able to find them)
• and a lot more!

These images show the original Cube built in 2011 that is now Kaputt. We have to redo it new (and improved):

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

Sony 100mm GM macro at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, Fotokoch, Fotoerhardt, Calumet, WexUK, Clifton.

Alex Phan already got this lens and stacked three converters on it! Here are the results:

Some new 100 GM reviews:

The SanDisk Extreme Fit is remarkably small — the 1TB SSD weighs only 3 grams (0.1 oz) and measures 18.5 × 13.7 × 16 mm (0.7 × 0.5 × 0.6 in). In fact, its USB-C connector is nearly as long as the entire drive is thick. You can get it now in different capacities for $25 to up to $119 at Amazon.

The daily-updated Amazon Camera Bestseller list (click here) shows the Sony A7IV leading the mirrorless pack! Maybe we don’t even need the new Sony A7V after all? ;)

Note: This is the Lens Best seller list

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you’re only here for confirmed facts, feel free to skip this post — I’m just having a bit of fun. I’m getting genuinely excited because the chances that the Sony A7V has a new sensor seem to be rising!

The excitement:

Now another sources confirmed the very good specs (Thanks!!!) I got the past week from another trusted source. I am now 80% confident the Sony A7V has a NEW sensor. I’m now working to get 100% confirmation and will publish the full rumor the moment I have it!

Subscribe my youtube channel as something will go online soon about one of the other A7V specs I teased before).
