RUMOR Correction: A7cR does NOT record 8K

Yesterday I reported the A7cR records 8K. Now the trusted source contacted me back and apologized for the mistake. This was only a miscommunication error.

I am currently at the Birthday party of my daughter Lia (8 years now!). As soon as I can I will do a post!
