Isn't the A7III 6K right now, down sampling to 4K?? Same with the A6500??

Yeah it is but output at 6K is an issue with heat and data. We can't get 4K 30fps full sensor readout on a A7 series Sony.  If they can't get this right then 8K will have the same flaws as their 4K does.

[webrunner5]

Oh I think the body will have a vent, or a fan just like the Panny S1H, the PK4 or this new Sigma FP. There is just too much heat to have these little thin bodies anymore.

[mercer]

I’d rather see Sony stick with the smaller MP sensor and not do more than 4K. Give us more cine features and a more robust codec with higher frame rates.

[webrunner5]

If we want 10bit 4k internal I don't think it can be done without bigger bodies. I think a body like the Panasonic S1 is going to be more the norm than a niche product.

A7R IV incoming..

Yeah everyone is saying A7r4, Sony the king of releasing products nobody is asking for. I.e. A6400, RX0 mk2, FS5mkii, RX100mk6 ?

LOL : -)

One of the first ones directly from Sony announcement live, the second one worldwide I presume, hey @Andrew Reid ; -)

[wolf33d]

It's 61MP with 15 stop dynamic range, but they just announced it's 4k, not 8k. 

 

[Emanuel]

HDR will be nice though... : ) What will pixel shift multishot 240MP mode (16 image composite) actually mean in practice?

Only for architecture shots?

 

Willing and curious to know : -)

[wolf33d]

The new digital microphone looks cool

Real-time Eye AF 4K video downsampled from 6K resolution (now confirmed):

From September 2019 on for $3500... not bad but expected price range, except lacks 4K/60p!

I like the microphone

What do you think about that ?  Lol

[ryne275]

What a flop. No 4K/60 in 2019? Yikes

absolutely not 6k. They specifically said it is 4K from 6K oversampling which the image shows.

Yes, indeed. Just seen : ) And already edited in the meantime. Thanks for the heads-up anyway!
