poorly photoshopped (LOL) A7III body with fully articulating screen
–
A person who claims “to be close” to the Sony factory in Thailand reports that the A7IV will have a fully articulating LCD screen:
“Sony a7IV has full articulate screen, spec same as III no improvement, more like basic model for vloggers.”
This is the first time I heard about this so it might be complete BS. But this is the kind of wild rumor I hope it will become true. It’s something like seven years now the Sony community is asking for this to happen!!!
More reliable rumor talk:
Just last week I posted the rumor from a source who told me Sony will launch a new camera and new handle soon. Well yesterday Sony announced the GP-VPT2BT handle so this gives us a fair chance that indeed Sony will have a new camera on market by March. The A7III has been announced two years ago at the Cp+ show. So this would fit the timeline. But this is only a guess for now and I got no evidence or reliable rumor confirming this now.
Let’s guess the possible A7IV specs:
I presume Sony will take a very conservative approach. Which means: Expect the A7rIV body and features with an “Upgraded” 24MP sensor. Well, adding a fully articulating screen would be at least one positive surprise…

BCN ranking shared the full market share analysis for 2019. As you can se Sony claimed the second spot in the mirrorless segment and increased their share by 3,2% compared to 2018.
Here are all other rankings in the digital photography business:
Here are the rankings for the accessories:
A couple of conclusions we can learn from this:
– Sony is steadily increasing their market share in the mirrorless segment
– Sony still has a noticeable 5% gap with Canon in the mirrorless segment
– Sony is only on the third spot in the fixed lens camera segment despite their excellent RX range.
– Sony sells more lenses than Nikon and that’s a big surprise considering the large Nikon DSLR+mirrorless basis
