A7IV is a Sony's successful camera, in Vietnam where I am living, there are many A7IV have been sold and became so popular for business purpose. For enthusiast like me it is just enough at least in next 3 years. It is a great hybrid camera love it so much

[SuchetB]

I used to have the A7IV and I still love it - I got rid of it because it did not have shutter angle and also no 6k - If it had those at least, with all the stuff it already had, I would have kept it. So I think to start with SONY A7V should have at least those two things, because LUMIX, and FUJI give you those along with great image quality. SONY has an edge with the autofocus, the image quality is amazing. So maybe if they can give us an option to have RAW or something like 12bit CDNG RAW video, with the option to record to SSD via USBC - Also if they can't give us a Global shutter or a stacked sensor, then they need to lower the price drastically to compete with the other brand models.

If the A7V could get the amazing rear screen maneuverability, 6K Open Gate, along with the updated Sony autofocus and tech that’d be awesome

[existential_]

The 4K60 will be what I'm looking for. Using the A7IV for a 2 week Japan trip, I chose 4K30 as I like having the motion of 24fps without the choppiness and the soap opera effect of 60fps.

But soon found out that during pans, judder comes into effect. I'm mainly using the camera for travel so there's going to be a lot of running and gunning, compared to having the time for carefully crafted scenes.

So I thought I'd compromise by going to 60fps, they're travel videos after all, not cinematic projects, but the crop will make even a wide 24mm to 36mm limiting it's use in smaller spaces. I'll have to experiment and see!

But if the A7V has no crop or a smaller crop that would be nice. Seeing how the Nikon Z8 has the ability to record 4K60 from 8K and 4K120 sub-sampled at 45MP, I hope Sony can at least give 4K60 at 33MP.

Love the A74, still use to this day. I recently got hired for my Sony kit and the A74 is part of the package. Had it in a fairly warm environment running video on a tripod and it overheated. If Sony isn’t able to improve the heat dissipation then include a fan in the box. If they do I’d be the first to pre-order the A7V, or jump ship to the FX30. Currently contemplating!

[CocoKoi]

Sony please do 40 megapixels. Not everyonr needs a resolutions camera but the ease of being able to crop more on a budget with 2 card slots and less than the a7r5 and ai chip

And yes youre right. Heavily fix the readout speed

[EtotheZ]

I hope DJI makes a killer camera for the others to step up there game

[stkuj]

Agreed! TBH, just remove 4k60 crop and increase mp for 36-45.... all I really need. I shoot with A7RV & A7Cii. Prob sell A7RV if they have those two features.

[DCMedien]

The only real thing I want updated is the screen. It just needs higher resolution, better image quality and a RV flip design. The rest? Still happy with it. Maybe the A9iii body, that would be nice to

[o.n.e.wayhunting]

For the A75 to be truly relevant, it will need to at the very least match the Z6iii in every aspect, and should without fail exceed the Z6iii slightly, and at most blow the Z6iii out of the water while an of the 3 options being the same price. It will need a stacked sensor and internal RAW recording (6k60p) to do achieve any of those.

[AnthonyWW]

Overheating
Rolling Shutter
4K60 crop
Autofocus
Stabilization
Rear display resolution
Real Time LUT
32 bit float
Internal storage

Actually NONE of those things bother me about the A7iv. Better stabilization for video might be nice? I think the current A7iv active stabilization is a huge improvement over the a7iii. I'd like the rear display to have the tilt option without flipping I suppose, but like I said, None of the things he had a problem with the A7iv are anything I've ever had a problem with. Now I'm not a professional, so there's that, but still... I wonder if the A7V will even be tempting for me to buy!

Love your videos Terry. Have been a subscriber forever. :)

[papolini]

They really needs to come with at least 15fps for photo and yes 4k60 no crop. I got the fx-30 because of the crop in 4k60, if I need to record in a crop mode I just go with the crop sensor better and they not even realize that some of us are buying crop sensor cameras because of that. Thanks for bringing this over.

[MikeJaySingerandEntertainer]

I use the a74 amd the fx30 and as much as id love to own a fx3 or a a75 i just dont see how my customers will notice any difference so why spend thousands?

[ejnoro]

I think you hit the nail on the head with everything…BUT I wouldn’t be mad if they bumped up the megapixels to like 40+ 👀

[mtbboy]

I wish for a fully articulating screen. Not only side flip. But tilt out, up and down.
I still have the A7iv it's awesome. I got mine second hand for a deal too good too pass up from a retailer, same with 24-70mm GMII Lens. Bu Tim keennto see what the A7V will bring.
I see some cameras have more auto focus, like train, car auto focus.

I will wait until there's a significant upgrade
But I agree with everything you said.
I will wait save money. And wait for a second hand camera from a retailer. To save money but be safe.
But meanwhile use my money of different stuff.

[Rainy]

Rumor is, it's coming out between January-March 2025. Im hoping for everything you had mentioned. I want to buy the A7RV, but waiting to see what the A7V will have to offer. I'd be happy with the A7RV screen and EVF, AI autofocus, A7RV IBIS, Faster shutter speed. Im still rockin the A7ii, so regardless it'll be a HUGE upgrade no matter what they do! 🤣

[JimHester]

Not a video shooter, but for photography, I'd love to see them switch to CF Express B (or start making the A cards cheaper). Increase the RAW stills frame rate to the (self-imposed) third party limitation of 15fps. Add A7RV display articulation + higher quality display. A9III grip ergonomics. Plus the AI chip stuff they're already putting in A7CII/A7CR/A6700

[thidnascimento]

You know what would fix all the problems that you mentioned? A 24MP or 26MP sensor. But they would never have the courage to lower the resolution. Canon R6II doesn't have a 4k60 crop and doesn't overheat: 24 megapixels, like the Lumix cameras you have mentioned. And for me, working with event coverage, 24MP is enough. I'm waiting for a Canon R6III that have fullHDMI and All I codec options. Let's see what will appears first, Canon R6III or A7V. Another great video, as always

[alejandroloza]

They should give it like 40 or 44mp and the A.I. that way the photos will come out better and video will be improved!. Plus, increases the frames, there are other cameras that can take more frames per second. Give us the ultimate hybrid camera to take on say Nikon 8.
