Unless they're going to blur the lines, FF seems a given. As the owner of a lot of upper end Sony glass, I personally hope it is FF. Also note the usual power switch around the shutter has "W" and "T" - a zoom rocker for PZ lenses like the 28-135. I like the front record button too, I carry my rigged camera by the top handle with my right hand and hold the lens with my left, not having to switch hands or do an awkward reach around to hit the record button is welcome.

Simon Young Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Nowhere on the body have I found the infamous "Steadyshot inside", so probably no IBIS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcio Kabke Pinheiro Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Looks like by the size of the LCD hinges that they made the same tilt/flip articulation of the S1H (or maybe is just a flip and the bulkiness is because of the rear vents). For a video camera, controls looks good. The joystick on top is strange, but in video I guess that you don't move the focus point too ofter - and if you need a quick point change (between two subjects), the touchscreen is better. The hotshoe have extra contacts, guess that a XLR adaptor and (maybe) an external EVF is a possibility. In fact, get this form factor, make it thinner, rearrange the controls a bit (back joystick, af/mf switch, a mode dial) and Sony could have a winner A7000.

Thpriest Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Looks good but no IBIS seems strange. The joystick position reminds me of the C100 which is a good thing! Control with your thumb on the grip. If it's under 4000€ it could be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mechanical IBIS would maybe make possible the integration of a built-in VND. That would be awesome. Thpriest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolph Lagarrigue Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 if Sony could add détachable viewfinder (like s3's one) like that we can have a monocular pirate eye for gimbal works.... that could be fantastic! Wireless viewfinder would be very very welcom! i'm waitting for this innnovation long time ago in fact since i begin to work with gimbal.

Well, gyro stabilization comes with a huge crop - problematic with wide angle shots. Thpriest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcio Kabke Pinheiro Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 SAR said just now that the price will be 3795 Euro (from a purported ad in a kit with a 80Gb CFExpress A or a 128gb Tough SDXC card - which could mean a double format type slots). And said that it records 4k120p and NOT 8k - which could means A7SIII sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSMW Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I will take an internal variable ND over IBIS every single time. Stab options include Catalyst Wotsit or mono/tripod. This thing looks VERY interesting, - the love child of the FX6 and the Sigma FP. thefactory, Matt_Bigwood, Trek of Joy and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trek of Joy Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 If its really a 4k/120p camera, the 8k talk was just a SAR wishlist spec. Its looking more like the FX6 in a compact body. That price is lower than the Euro price of the a7s3, maybe $3000-ish here in the US? Internal ND's, add on EVF, Sony's XLR mic modules and such could make this a cool small video option. If there's no IBIS that makes for an interesting choice, stabilization and a EVF vs. possible internal ND's, more mounting points, and better cooling. I think I'd add one of these to my a7sIII for the ND's alone. And I like the strap mounts on the shoulders, I really liked that with the EOS R instead of the eyelet nubs that stick out of the side of the body, makes gripping these small cameras more comfortable without something stabbing you in the hand.

Thpriest Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 So what will be the big differences between this and the A7Siii? Let's see that comparison list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah wondering that as well, this would eat the A7S iii for lunch I guess, the price is even similar... So there must be a catch, as Sony will not cannabalise the A7S III.

zerocool22 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Does continuous autofocus work on the A7S III with EF lenses? (have no desire to buy E or L lenses ever) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
currensheldon Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 With the A7sIII, this really needs to have some great video features to differentiate itself (and not just S-Cinetone). And that means: Internal eND. If it doesn't have that, how many other things could it have to really set it apart? Other than the cool color, more robust build, better tilting screen, and lots of mounting points. IronFilm and Thpriest 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JurijTurnsek Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Why would a vent be needed when a7S already has no overheating? Maybe a sensor with more mp and oversampling? Simon Young 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
