Apotelyt.com made this accurate size comparison betwene the soon to be announced new Canon EOS-RP ($1599) and the Sony A7III
Those are the specs (corrected by me as there was an error made by Apotelyt)
I think Sony can easily counteract with this camera launch by dropping the price of the Sony A7III (which is still the much better camera). What I really found worrying is that FF is getting so cheap that classic APS-C (Fuji) and MFT (Olympus) camera makers could suffer from this…
Photographylife conclusion is:
The last few years have seen Sony release some great full-frame mirrorless camera models but the A7 III might just be the best yet. It doesn’t have the highest resolution, fastest focusing and shooting speeds or the best video quality, but by borrowing some of the best features from the A9 and A7R III, it is consistently excellent in almost every facet. With its powerful 24 MP sensor, compact dimensions, much-improved handling and customization, amazingly quick and accurate autofocus system, large battery capacity, native 4K video recording, and great sub-$2K price, the A7 III is the most well-rounded mirrorless camera on the market today and receives our highest recommendation.
And here are new A7III videos by TheCameraProject and Manny Ortiz:
Panasonic is the ultimate killer of the myth saying that Mirrorless is smaller than DSLR :)

On top you can watch Max Yuryev take on the new Sony A6400. Below the new Matt Granger test:
Cinem5D also tested the camera and concluded:
Manufacturers often test new features in their professional lines first and then let them crawl down into their consumer/prosumer line – and it seems like this is what they did again on the A9, which is considered to have one of the fastest autofocus systems in the industry. (We haven’t tested Sony’s top-of-the-line A9 mirrorless camera simply because it’s not focused on video shooting at all – it lacks all Slog options.) So while the a6400 could have been that ordinary camera which resembles the a6300 and a6500, that autofocus killer feature alone is worth the extra look, especially as this is a glimpse to the future of all other cameras too!
And here we have a new Q&A from Gary Fong:
Sony A6400 preorders:
USA at BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera, Buydig, Amazon.
Europe at Calumet Germany, ParkCameras UK, Jessops.
Asia at Sony Australia and Sony Japan.
The Panasonic S1-S1R cameras have been announced and are listed officially at BHphoto. Full news coverage on L-rumors.com.
Apotelyt.com posted this accurate size comparison between the Sony A7III and Panasonic S1:
Here is a side by side image between the Panasonic S1R and Sony A7rIII via Dpreview:
The camera is big and expensive. It’s more “DSLR styled” than the competition. Panasonic might decided to go for a certain niche of photographers that want the DSLR feeling and handling. I am curious to learn if those cameras will sell well!

At 2/100 sec evaluation speed for Continuous Autofocus, the Sony a6400 has the fastest responding autofocus currently on the market. It shoots ten frames per second, with the new AI Tracking. However, getting to the tracking is quite an ordeal, which I will explain here. First if looks for the eye-ball, then the face, then the object or person. And coming soon – ANIMAL EYE-AF. The a6400, at under $900 is an amazing deal. To really learn how to use it, SUBSCRIBE to get the first announcement on our a6400 premium, “unleash the power of your Sony a-6400” coming soon. Also, tired of the searching through the menu bars trying to find that function? Our mobile, “Feature Finder” app will soon be available for the a6400 so you can find your menu item quickly in a sea of over 200 commands.
