The Latest Sony A7V Rumours

credits: Sony

There is finally some news on the long-awaited Sony A7 V. According to several reliable sources, the new full-frame camera will be unveiled later this year, putting an end to months of speculation. Rumors about the A7 V have been swirling for quite some time, with the camera’s supposed price even leaking back in July 2025. But after that, the conversation went quiet. Now, reports suggest the camera is set for an official debut in October or November. Insiders say Sony had initially planned an earlier launch but decided to wait, partly because the A7 IV is still selling well and partly to see how Trump’s tariff policies would affect the market.

The A7 V won’t be arriving alone in Sony’s lineup refresh. The company is also preparing to release a new lens this year, though not at the same time as the camera. Instead, the lens is expected to be announced first, with speculation pointing strongly toward the FE 100mm f/2.8 Macro GM OSS. This lens was already rumoured earlier in the summer, and its timing lines up neatly with Sony’s broader release strategy.

As for technical details about the camera, nothing has been officially confirmed, and most reports should still be treated as rumours. Early indications point to the A7 V debuting with a new sensor, but sources stress that this will be more of an evolutionary upgrade than a revolutionary one. Even so, there is already speculation that the A7 V will outperform Canon’s upcoming EOS R6 Mark III, which is thought to be using the sensor from Canon’s EOS C50 cinema camera. We will see what the future holds!
