I have been told the Sony A7V will have TWO hardware features that will be a first and implemented on future Alpha cameras:
- The already mentioned dual USB-C port (with the killing of the micro-USB port)
- This will be Sony’s first camera to combine the AI focusing chip with the main CPU!
Benefits of this chip+CPU integration should be lower consumption and potentially improved speed.
Another source also told me this:
- Sony A7V has 8 stops of IBIS with no “Active” crop, similar to the A1 II at launch
- Expect around 750–800 shots per battery, compared to the A7 IV’s 500–600
Still looks like no new lens will be announced (or max development announcement happening?)
A third source wrote:
the resolution on the LCD and the EVF is definitely way better than A7IV. Could be similar to the specs of the A1ii or A7R5, definitely 0.9x magnification when I tried it.
So that’s regarding the news I got today…maybe in the next hours I will get a more detailed spec list!
