The new Sony A7 IV includes some of the best features of the A1 and A7S III

by 2 Comments

Sony has now officially announced the new Sony A7 IV. It features a 33-megapixel (not stacked) BSI CMOS sensor with their latest generation BIONZ XR image processing engine. It includes a number of new features not found in other bodies as well as inheriting some advanced features from its big brothers the A7S III and the Alpha 1.

It gets a flippy out LCD, 10-Bit 4:2:2 All-I, real-time Eye AF, “Active Mode” image stabilisation, post-shoot image stabilisation, live streaming via USB with multiple resolution options all the way up to 4K, 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2, continuous shooting at up to 10fps with either the mechanical or electronic shutter, a huge 828 shot RAW+JPG stills buffer and it can even compensate for focus breathing.

Sony teases new camera (Sony A7 IV?) to be announced on October 21st

by Leave a Comment

Well, after a blurry photo of what was claimed to be the Sony A7 IV was apparently posted and then deleted by Sony China over the weekend, now it seems that Sony might be finally ready to announce the Sony A7 III successor – and not a minute too soon. The A7 III is a great camera, but it’s been fraught with shutter problems that Sony seems to have thus far evaded.

Still, Sony has today teased a new camera to be announced on Thursday, October 21st and it’s expected to be the Sony A7 IV. Obviously, Sony hasn’t confirmed what the camera is – because they never do – but all signs seem to point towards it.

Sony A7 IV launch delayed – pushed back from mid-September to late October

by Leave a Comment

Well, there haven’t been all that many rumours about the apparently impending Sony A7 IV. We’ve figured it must be coming at some point relatively soon, given Sony’s typical release cycles and the fact that it was possibly a body Sony registered in April, but there hasn’t been a lot of information leaked about it at all.

It seems, though, that an announcement had been planned for mid-September. Now, according to Sony Alpha Rumors, that announcement has been delayed until late October. And, not surprisingly, even after the announcement comes, there will be a limited supply for the first few months due to the global silicon shortage.

Sony has registered a new camera body – could be the Sony A7 IV

by 8 Comments

According to a tweet from Nokishita, Sony has registered a new camera body, labelled WW734234 with an overseas certification body.  It’s equipped with 5Ghz/2.4Ghz WiFi and Bluetooth. It’s the second currently unreleased-but-registered body we know of, alongside WW356015 (which also has 2.4Ghz WiFi and Bluetooth).

They also confirmed that these aren’t the recently announced A7R IIIa and A7R IVa (which are basically the old A7R III and A7R IV but with a higher resolution LCD). The A7R IVa is WW447485/WW778752 and the A7R IIIa is WW186333. It’s been suggested that the new code could be the Sony A7 IV.
