Wild rumors roundup: A7V and FX8

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!

FX8 is confirmed. I’ve heard many rental houses talking about it.

Canon is debuting a new 400mm f/2.8 with built in 1.4x TC in Italy at the 2026 Winter Olympics for all their Press Photographers to use during the Olympics to match what Nikon has done. When Canon released the R1, Sony instantly took the shine away with the debut of the α1ii last November. What do you think Sony is going to do at the 2026 Winter Olympics if Canon is giving the press access to a brand new 400mm f/2.8 with sharper optics and built in TC? I think you know the answer to that…

There are major problems with the delivery of Sony products in Europe due to problems with the warehouse in Germany. Retailers in several countries are having major problems with getting goods delivered. The problems are said to have started in April, and have still not been resolved

Nikon Z9/Z8 sensor exclusivity expires soon.
The Sony A7V uses the same (revised) fast sensor that can do oversampling 4k 60 from 8k 60 etc. but now with perfect Sony AI autofocus and open third party lenses and better battery.
So this is the sensor A7V will use and it will be cheaper than Z8.
Hope they use good cooling.
