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

WILD RUMOR: Sony FX9 II specs

Share

I got rumors that Sony will launch a new high end E-mount cine camera before the end of this year. I got no solid specs yet…all I can share is this rumor that might or might not be true:

Sony’s FX9 II will using a new developed 8.7μm pixel size DCI 4K HDR BSI sensor to replace the IMX410. It can output multi based iso together for a ARRI Alexa look picture and up to DCI 4K 120p X-OCN recording by a new external recorder.
Sony’s 8K cine camera only comes for “VENICE II” now.

About those rumors: I have no idea who sent them and 90% of the times they turn out to be wrong. But, it happened in the past that a couple of those were right. So I will post them today, and we all together can eventually keep track of this. If one of the sources turns out to be right than we will know we can trust it a bit more!

Source 1:

SONY’s New ”Speed” Camera ILCE-9S will be released after Canon EOS R3. Cause Both the EOS R3 and ILCE-9S are using a 20 MP level Sensor and cheaper than the ILCE-1.

Source 2:

Alpha’s New Hi-End APS-C features 36MP Exmor R Sensor

Source 3:

soon the sony lens with a 200 mm focal length will be available. The Lens comes in 2 different versions, and it will be distributed to the first amabossers very soon. The first demo models and press models are already prefabricated
