    • The thing is, open gate is a pretty big deal for people in charge of social media for companies big and small. Almost everyone i know doing that kind of work is a Sony shooter and are frustrated that they don't have that option, while my S5II X does.  I know of at least three folks who switched to Lumix for open gate, though that's a drop in the bucket. Still, as other companies introduce it, Sony might find themselves shedding customers if they too don't introduce it soon. 
    • $3,000 being entry-level is crazy...the A7V is a beast but so is every single camera out right now haha.  Honestly the GH7 or used G9II is whats tempting me at this point if I were going to upgrade.  I'd take the smaller sensor for crazy IBIS, tons of features and great IQ that punches above what people expect from MFT.  Lowlight would be fine with a sigma 18-35 and metabones 0.64 lol.   But that's a totally different topic...back to the A7V.  I just don't like how expensive cameras are now; seems every new model is crazy in price.  Nikon are the outliers with incredibly competitive pricing.  Sony not having Open Gate here is very lame.  Yes you don't need Open Gate, yes the A7V is still a beast, its just that every camera is a beast right now.  I could buy a 5 year old A7SIII on eBay for $2,400 USD and never need better in my life...and we had this camera 5 years ago.  The fact that the A7V doesn't give me a dramatic reason why I'd want it over the 5 year old A7SIII or even the A7IV which as previously said will become cheaper...says a lot.
    • no H.265-based codec available in 4K in 25 fps and in Full HD.. I find the lack of 25P in Xavc-hs after 5 years is quite disturbing, I usually switch to xavc-s for 4K25p in 420 8bit 60Mbps which is bigger filesize and less flexible in post on machines that dont have fan like E10II and E1, on FX3/FX30 I just shoot 50P all the way.
    • They're acting like the problem is new 🙂 https://petapixel.com/2025/12/03/sony-a7-iv-firmware-6-00-still-suspended-after-widespread-malfunctions/
    • Horrible line skipping in Full HD. Pleasing noise in Angle of View Priority mode.
