You now save up to 15% on all products sold directly by the international Viltrox store (Click here to see all products). This includes one lens that is highly praised by reviewers and extremely cheap to buy: The new Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 II FE autofocus lens for Sony sells for $359 only.
And of course there is also a ton of E-mount adapters to buy :)
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:
What Sony said about the As7II successor:

If someone reading this post has any A7sIII specs info drop me a message using this anonymous contact box (use an nickname to be recognizable in the future) or drop me an email at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com. Thanks!
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!
You can check out the complete specs sheet comparison between the new Canon EOS-R5 and Sony A7rIV on that BHphoto comparison tool.
Personally the one thing that stands out in favor of the Canon is the 8 stops stabilization. Otherwise the A7rIV holds up very well. And we still have to see if Canon image quality comes at least close ot the Sony.
Here comes the exact size comparison between the new Canon EOS-R5 and the Sony A7rIV via Apotelyt:
For the first time the new Sigma 100-400mm FE is in Stock in the USA via FocusCamera (you get a 64GB card for free).
It will be in Stock next week in other stores too like BHphoto, Adorama. FotokochDE. WexUK. ParkUK.
Today Canon announced FIFTEEN!!! new cameras+lenses (see them all at BH). The most important product is the new EOS-R5 8K camera which is priced at $3899 (full spec list at BH). This camera is a sort of hybrid between the Sony As7 and A7r line. The soon to be announced A7sIII will be more purely video focused and likely not have that high resolution nor 8K30p (as professional 4K quality is the main goal of that cam).
Sony vs EOS-R5 interesting facts:
I wonder if Sony has to somehow answer to this or if the A7rIV and future A7sIII will be enough…

The big unanswered question:
The one caveat I have with Canon is this: Yes, on paper the specs are amazing but will it deliver in reality? We know that so far Canon sensors are really way behind Sony. So did they pull the white rabbit out of the hat or will the Image Quality still be inferior to the Sony?
None of the reviewers talked about this aspects and my feeling is that Canon will NOT have done that miracle…
