RUMOR: Sony A7sIII has new 12MP sensor and unlike the Canon EOS-R5 it will be „unlimited“ in recording capabilities!

Share

First of all I can now confirm that obviously the new camera will be named Sony A7sIII. Some speculated it might have a new name or jump a generation from Sony A7II to Sony A7IV. Well it’s not :)

New 12MP sensor:

It is a new 12MP sensor with fast readout. So no fancy global shutter :)

No overheating no recording time limit:

As you see from the official graph on top (thanks Jeff Ratcliffe) the Canon EOS-R5 has two kinds of limits:

  1. Unless you shoot 4k30p: In ideal conditions which means room temperature, no hot days, no sunlight, no artificial light it will stop after 15-30min to avoid overheating.
  2. Recording time is limited to 29m59secs in all modes anyway

The past hours three Sony A7sII successor testers made it clear the Sony A7sII successor will not have such limitations:

“A7sii successor will not have any recording time limits”

No overheating limitations and no default recording time limit of 29m59secs. So if it comes to professional video use the Sony A7sIII will surely outperform the Canon.

Rumored A7sIII specs recap

  • New 12MP stacked sensor with fast readout
  • records FHD 240fps, 4k120fps 10bit 4:2:2 and 4K120fps raw over HDMI
  • Looks pretty similar to a Sony A7rIV.
  • world’s highest resolution new 9.44 million dot EVF (QXGA resolution)
  • new kind of passive (noise free) cooling system
  • no overheating, no recording time limits
  • UHSII card support
  • announcement late July

RUMOR: Sony A7sII successor records FHD 240fps, 4k120fps 10bit 4:2:2 and 4K120fps raw over HDMI

Share

We got some more info about the A7sII recording capabilities: FHD 240fps, 4k120fps 10bit 4:2:2 and 4K120fps raw over HDMI.

Rumored A7sII successor specs so far:

  • records FHD 240fps, 4k120fps 10bit 4:2:2 and 4K120fps raw over HDMI
  • Looks pretty similar to a Sony A7rIV.
  • world’s highest resolution new 9.44 million dot EVF (QXGA resolution)
  • new kind of passive (noise free) cooling system
  • UHSII card support
  • announcement late July

So it looks like this camera might not have 8K recording..which makes sense anyway. This camera isn’t a toy (just trolling!) meant to give you limited 8K capabilities. It’s all about top 4K quality video.

RUMOR: From people testing the A7sII successor: Will have a lot of awesome tech it will still have a similar Sony A7rIV design

Share

As you know Sony said the As7II successor will have “everything new”. As a consequence of this I saw on the web some websites speculating about a completely new design of the camera. I now know of two people that saw and tested shortly the A7sII successor. While they can’t unveil the specs for obvious reasons they said that the camera design will not change dramatically and it looks pretty similar to a Sony A7rIV.

Rumored A7sII successor specs so far:

  • Looks pretty similar to a Sony A7rIV.
  • world’s highest resolution new 9.44 million dot EVF (QXGA resolution)
  • passive (noise free) cooling system
  • UHSII card support
  • announcement late July

What Sony said about the As7II successor:

  • announcement this summer
  • will “exceed everyone’s expectations“.
  • The ‘S’ originally stood for ‘sensitivity’ but now it should stand for ‘supreme’ in terms of image quality, and expression
  • at least 4K/60p, 10-bit 4:2:2 but it will be more
  • Raw video

Internet is already bitching about the EOS-R5 overheating…Max Yuryev explains why

Share

We all know Sony became famous for the overheating issue. Canon was transparent enough to share the overheating info right from the start. This created a lot of buzz and discussion on the web. Thankfully Max Yuryev made a very informative video on this o make a clear point:

I guess that you really cannot use the EOS-R5 video features once you are outside under direct sunshine. And that yes may be a huge limitation for those who want to have a reliable video tool.

Now, I wonder how Sony will handle this on the soon to be announced A7sII successor. I already told you the camera will have a new kind of passive cooling system. My feeling is that Sony will not have the heavy EOS-R5 limitation. After all Sony had 5 years time to develop the camera from scratch to be a videographers beast tool. Something the EOS-R5 wasn’t really meant to be…the EOS-R5 main goal is mainly for Canon to say…hey look at me I am back :)

Thanks Max!
