Sony Japan writes (google translated text):

The lens FE 50mm F1.2 GM “SEL50F12GM” for the digital single-lens camera α [E-mount] released on April 23, 2021 (Friday) has received orders that greatly exceeded our expectations, and is a product. It may take some time before delivery.

We are currently making every effort to meet the needs of our customers, so please wait for a while.

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.

Reminder: What’s new on the A7rIVa and A7rIIIa?

1. LCD resolution has changed from 1.44 million dots to 2,359,296 dots
2. They both support USB 3.2.
3. The Sony logo under LCD monitor has been removed
4. There are also small changes in their battery life

Thanks Elliot!

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.
