    • I think it's quite exciting, for someone who skipped the Sony a7r V for video because of the slow sensor and terrible rolling shutter in 8K, I can finally embrace it fully without any silly deal breakers. It's also going to really help the price of the original a1 drop to sensible amounts. Already the lovely a1 OG is <£2200 on eBay from Japan. This is highest resolution stacked sensor yet though... 68 vs 50mp, $2000 less than an a1 Mark II, DGO and a new, absolute chonk of a battery, plus new EVF - possibly the best ever on a Sony - and an EOS R5 Mark II price to match. Finally Sony are not deluding themselves that everything high-end they do should be 6 or 7 grand. Would it be nice if it had real-time LUTs, open gate, anamorphic and raw codec? Yes, but as an all-rounder it ain't bad is it? I am not in the least interested in 2500Mbit codec file sizes when H.265 looks as good as it does in 2026. S1R II for me is tempting for open gate and the LUTs, but it's got too many deal-breakers where the Sony hasn't. The mount, for a start. And the a7r VI autofocus I bet is stunning.
    • Looks decent and loved my A7RV, but I have nailed my colours to the LUMIX mast for what remains of my career. But if I did switch, it would be to Nikon. Or Leica. Or dammit, maybe even Canon. Or possibly Sony actually. The simple reality is they all make good shit these days. Remaining a Lumix bro, - it does what I need it to do.
    • Another stroke of Lumix’s marketing genius. They were hoping for a full 24 hours of limelight, but the intern responsible for product launches only had 10 fingers and 10 toes to count with.  
    • It looks like a solid upgrade if you're in the Sony world and want your stills-first camera to have a bit better video.   67 vs 61 mp is 🥱.  Internal video codecs are industry-trailing (H.265/H.264 only). The standout feature, for me, is 4K DGO video with only a 15ms readout - but if that were the only spec that I wanted, I wouldn't have sold my C70 (and it could do it in raw).  Wish they would have done an 8K DGO - would gladly take 22-28ms readout speeds for the extra DR on scenes without fast movement. This seems to me like a camera that's designed to throw a bone to Sony shooters who might otherwise be thinking of jumping ship.  It's fine, but not very exciting.  I think Sony sent some spies over to the Canon headquarters to learn the secrets of the 🔨
    • To be honest, I really want one. I'll wait for it to come down to 3500 euros used, then I think i'll sell some stuff and pounce on it. The main weakness of the a7r V and Panasonic S1R II - the slower sensors and rolling shutter, is banished. The 1.2x crop in 8K isn't ideal though.
