ProAV had a very interesting live chat with a Sony manager. And he spilled a lot of details about the Sony A7V I didn’t know yet.

• Anti Aliasing filter : Sony dind’t unveil anything about this but the manager makes it clear there is one ( at around minute 14 )
• 6G Wifi: it’s double the speed of 5G and in theory makes the connection with smartphones faster and more stable ( minute 19 )
• Wildlife: This is for the first time an “entry” level A7 series camera is well suited for wildlife photographers ( minute 22 )
• New processor: it is 8 times more powerful than the one on the A7IV ( minute 28 )
• We are listening: Sony executive emphasized they’re actively listening to Sony A7V user feedback and will incorporate it into upcoming firmware updates (minute 29)
• No Open Gate: this is a hybrid camera, this can shoot 30fps without black out, 14 bit raw in mechanical and electronic, it’s about “finding the balance” and it’s not a feature of THIS sensor ( minute 42 )
• Dual Base ISO: he says Sony has no “official” statement about Dual Base ISO :) ProAv guy says he tested it and there is a slight reduction of noise reduction at ISO 8000 ( minute 47)
• No internal RAW: the manager can’t answer why Sony has no internal RAW recording…but says that Sony is very good in spotting trends…so who knows ( minute 49 )
• No info about the A7sIV: the manager cannot answer if there will be a future Sony A7sIV (minute 52)
• New AI Extended RAW: Sony uses their own library they used on their TV’s to do “extended RAW” AI upscaling on (minute 54)
• Third aprty lens compatibility: We do not test our cameras with third party lenses or any of the many third pastry accessories (minute 57)
