In a surprising move Sony announced two small updated version of their current A7rIII and A7rIV cameras. In both cases the cameras get a small “a” suffix.
So what’s new?
LCD resolution has changed from 1.44 million dots to 2,359,296 dots
They both support USB 3.2.
The Sony logo under LCD monitor has been removed
There are also small changes in their battery life
If there is a flaw, it’s perhaps in Sony’s strategy rather than the camera. The A1 is an amazing camera but it comes at a price that’s equally amazing for all the wrong reasons. It’s so expensive that it really only makes sense if you need everything that it does. If only only need state of the art 4K video, or fast burst shooting, or high resolution capture, there are other Sony models much cheaper than this one.
