Sony will continue to upgrade its existing models: Random thoughts

It is becoming certain that Sony will announce the α7RV at 11pm Japan time on October 26th. Sony will continue to update its existing models in this way. Next, the α9II will probably further brush up the stacked sensor, enabling high-speed continuous shooting of over 30 frames per second. The recording media will be compatible with CFexpress Type A and SD UHS-II in a dual slot, EVF, and approximately 9.44 million dots. In addition, the α9II will also be equipped with automatic recognition and tracking of moving objects using AI deep learning technology, which is said to be used in the α7RV, making it an even more sports-focused mirrorless camera. However, it will not have a vertical grip integrated design. This is because Sony's basic policy is to be small and lightweight above all else. Once the α9II update is complete, it is likely that the next step will be to upgrade the α1. The main improvement will probably be 8K video, which will increase from the current 8K30p to 8K60p, and the recording time will also be longer. This α1 successor will also be equipped with automatic subject recognition function using AI deep learning. After that, it will probably be an update to the α7SIII, but it is still hard to imagine what this camera will be like. In any case, Sony's α series will be centered around 35mm mirrorless cameras, and the APS-C format will be mainly VLOGCAM. Of course, the α6000 series for APS-C mirrorless camera users and the α7000, which is an extension of that, are also being developed, but I doubt they will be released anytime soon.

JPEG straight out of the box. Taken in October 2019. Even though it is a high-magnification zoom, it is difficult to make the most of the bokeh because the maximum aperture is dark. In such cases, you will want a large-aperture telephoto lens. Canon EOS7D MarkII, Tamron 16-300mm F3.5-6.3, aperture F8, 1/500 sec, AWB, ISO auto.
