The Latest Sony A7 V Rumours

credits: Sony

After Canon’s big EOS R6 Mark III reveal, attention in the camera world is already shifting toward what’s next, the upcoming Sony A7 V. According to new reports, Sony plans to unveil the long-awaited successor to the A7 IV in the first week of December, making it likely the final major camera launch of 2025. A new leaked image of the camera surfaced recently, confirming its design is nearly finalised, and now, Sonyalpharumors says they are “100% certain” the A7 V will feature a 33-megapixel sensor.

What is still unclear is which type of sensor Sony will go with. Some speculate it might reuse the 33MP sensor from the A7 IV, while others believe Sony has developed an improved or possibly stacked version. A simple rehash seems unlikely, it wouldn’t make much sense for Sony to launch a new model with identical internals when rivals like Canon’s R6 Mark III and Nikon’s Z6 III are pushing performance forward. The real differentiator could come down to processing power and AI-driven performance, both areas where Sony has been investing heavily.

The A7 V’s electronic viewfinder is also rumoured to get an upgrade. The A7 IV’s EVF already offered 3.69 million dots, 0.78x magnification, and full frame coverage, but sources suggest the new model will see improvements. Other reported upgrades include up to 8 stops of in-body image stabilisation, a 4-way fully articulating touchscreen, and dual Type A SD card slots instead of CFexpress. Nothing is confirmed yet of course, but it is clear Sony is fine-tuning the A7 V to stay competitive in the midrange full-frame market.
