Canon might release a 90MP camera in 2021. Sony will use the 102M sensor on the A7rV?

One thing is certain: In 2021 we can expect the Canon vs Sony battle to intensify. Nikon and the L-mount organization can’t keep up with their pace.

As a first move we can expect Sony to launch their 8K E-mount camera. But according to new rumors Canon will also release a 90 Megapixel EOS-R5s camera with a 300MP “pixel shift” modus. I don’t know yet if Sony will also release their High resolution Sony A7rV in 2021 already. But Sony has a 102MP FF sensor with 6K video capability they could use for this. This sensor specs were already leaked in 2019 so it may be that a future A7rV uses an “improved” version with 8K?

Still, Sony has a busy year: First the A9III (or A9r) than we will get the A7IV. So I don’t know if there is room for a Sony A7rV this year too!

So I will post them today, and we all together can eventually keep track of this. If one of the sources turns out to be right than we will know we can trust it a bit more!

Rumored Sony A9III specs:

  • Sony will launch a new High End camera in Q1 2021. Maybe at the January 11 CES show (which is all digital this year).
  • It will be named as an A9x series camera and not A7x (not sure if it’s “A9s” or “A9III”)
  • It has a new ~50 megapixel sensor
  • 8k30p video confirmed with no overheating. It’s still an “infant” 8k mode…meaning it’s not 8k60 which would be crazy and there will be limitations in the quality you can record internally.
  • Other specs similar to A7sIII (EVF, autofocus, and so forth)
  • At least $1,500 more expensive than the EOS-R5 (but price hasn’t be finalized yet) Expect something like $4,999.

The sources will try to give me some more hints the coming weeks…stay tuned on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and chat with me live on Discord to not miss any rumors!

 

RUMOR: Third source confirms new A9 camera is coming in early 2021. There will be definitely a lot of new FE lenses in 2021 too.

I didn’t get any new specs about the new A9 camera yet. The latest I got is that a third reliable source now confirmed the A9 rumor is real:

my source told me new a9 camera coming in early 2021
a9 has 8k too.
don’t know if name is a9m3 or a9R

What he also added is that Sony plans to release a lot of new FE lenses. Some of them brand new and a few of them are update of existing lenses.

I think A9r would make a lot of sense as a name because you get both: The speed of the A9 and the resolution of the “R” series…what do you think?
