Here is the first set of rumored Sony a7R VI camera specifications I received today:
- Sony’s A7R VI is set to be released before November 2026, right before the Alpha 7S series
- The Alpha 7R VI is currently undergoing testing on a small scale
- BIONZ XR2 processor with 8.5 stops of image stabilisation
- 30fps 14-bit RAW continuous shooting
- RAW pre-capture
- 60fps AE/AF
- 16-frame high-resolution composite shooting
- Up to 32-frame noise-reduced composite shooting
- The grip has been redesigned, adopting the deeper handle found on the A1 II.
- The screen’s maximum brightness is 50% higher than the A1 II.
- The A7R VI uses a full-stacked sensor with 80M effective pixels
- It’s seen as a big step up from the A7 V, and it’s in a similar position to the A7R III and A7 III at the time
- No open gate, no RAW video, no 6K HEVCIt supports full-frame 10.9K oversampled 8K30p, APS-C 7.1K oversampled 4K60p, and full-frame 5.5K (pixel-binning) oversampled 4K120p video
- For stills, it can take 30 fps, but there’s a hard limit on the number of frames.
- The dynamic range is still better than the A7R V in mechanical shutter mode when using electronic shutter, and it has a 16+ stop dynamic range when enabling mechanical shutter.
- The number of pixels on the screen is higher than the A7 V, but the electronic shutter speed is slightly faster. However, the electronic shutter speed is still only a third of the A1 II.
