Dear sources… can you give us some more insights into the roadmap for 2025? A7V, As7IV, FX3II and so on :)

a curiously photoshopped A7V camera

The past weeks I got a ton of messages from new and trusted sources. Among those messages there were also multiple confirmations on the Sony A7V launch happening in 2025. While we are here I am kindly asking the sources to answer me those questions:

  • Timeframe for the Sony A7V announcement (and eventually indication on specs)
  • Possibility the A7sIV will indeed be announced in late 2025
  • If I’m crazy hoping for a full-frame camera with a fixed lens :)

If you have more info about the next Sony cameras and lenses you can share send me a message using this contact box or at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com. Thanks!
