RUMOR: Sony A7IV has 15 stops of DR
image on top is a mockup
The A7IV tentative announcement is still scheduled for mid-end October. But it might be slightly postponed if the worldwide sensor production shortage doesn’t improve a bit. In the meantime I can share that the newly developed 33MP sensor combined with a new processor will allow to squeeze out 15 stops of dynamic range. At least that’s Sony marketing saying this. We have to see in real world test if this is a correct claim.
Sony A7IV rumored specs:
- launch in October (if chip supply permits this)
- Newly developed 33MP sensor
- 15 stops of DR
- 4k30 video is oversampled from 7K
- 5.5 stops of IBIS (+ AS)
- Same A7sIII body design
- Full size HDMi
- UHS-II SD-cards and CF Xpress cards
