First real world image of the new Sony A7RIVa
Here comes the very first image of the new Sony a7R4a (Source: Weibo). The only difference I can find is the missing Sony logo under the LCD screen. And yes, the screen looks better as it uses a new higher resolution version.

Sony financial report: Increase in earnings and decrease in unit sales. Forecast sales increased!
Soy published the full financial report (download it here). As you can see from the image on top the electronics segment increased their sales. But the camera business sold less units than expected. But Sony also revised the 2021 forecast and expects to sell more cameras than perviously estimated:
Sales are expected to increase mainly due to an increase in sales of televisions resulting from an improvement in the product mix and an increase in sales of digital cameras resulting from higher unit sales, as well as the impact of foreign exchange rates.
