Sony will be updating their A7R III this fall and won't want to compete with themselves. Canon will likely release their new flagship hybrid camera then and it will probably have some crazy features, just like the 1DC and 1DX ii had when they released. I think if they make the A7S III have internal (6K Sensor) 4K 4:2:2 10-bit, with the venice color science, they will have an industry leading camera. If Sony ships the A7s3 in April 2020 with 4k 422 10 bit downscaled from a 6k sensor... they'll be about one year behind Panasonic, depending on when that firmware update drops.

Sony will need much more than today's specs to top next year's competition. And the s1r isn't cropped, its full frame 4k60. ...Which is not to say that the a7s3 definitely won't be class-leading. Maybe it will be an 8k global shutter camera with triple base ISO, etc. etc. Maybe not. And in the end, I'll get it if it's "only" 4k30, but ticks all the other boxes for me (price, ergonomics, codec, etc). I'm very interested to see what Sony makes, but at this point it does seem like they're playing catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowbro Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 "The S1R can shoot video at up to 4K/60p with only a slight crop but it pixel bins, so footage will be less detailed than the S1's output." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and that's today. By 2020, I expect there to be FF 4k60 without binning! My point is that the bar of "exceeding expectations" will be higher then than it is now.

Snowbro Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 You said it wasn't cropped; it's even pixel binned ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
