First Sony a7RVI Rumored Specs


Photorumors received specs for the Sony a7RVI which you can check out below:

  • 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.

Sony Q3 FY2025 Consolidated Financial Results

Cameras / imaging products (ET&S): demand commentary was solid, but segment results were weaker

Sony’s camera business is reported inside Entertainment, Technology & Services (ET&S) (a broader bucket that includes multiple consumer electronics categories). ET&S results were down overall in Q3:

  • Sales: ¥658.1B (-7% YoY)
  • Operating income: ¥59.4B (-23% YoY)

But inside that segment, Sony’s commentary for photographers was more encouraging: Sony said global interchangeable-lens camera demand remained strong year-over-year, particularly in Asia, while noting China was weaker due to subsidy changes and broader market conditions.

Sony also noted strong sales for the α7 V (as referenced in the earnings remarks) and expects it to continue contributing into Q4.

Image sensors (Imaging & Sensing Solutions): a standout quarter

Sony’s Imaging & Sensing Solutions (I&SS) segment — the image sensor business — delivered one of the strongest reports in Sony’s entire earnings release.

  • Sales: ¥604.3B (+21% YoY)
  • Operating income: ¥132.0B (+35% YoY)

Sony attributed the strength largely to higher unit sales and higher selling prices of mobile image sensors, helped by product mix improvements and recovery in demand tied to new smartphone launches.

Just as important: Sony raised its full-year outlook for I&SS, signaling confidence that momentum continues beyond the quarter.

Sony Addict takeaway

For photographers, Sony FY2025 Q3 reads like this:

  1. Sony’s sensor business is thriving — rising volume + pricing/mix improvements, plus raised full-year guidance.
  2. Camera demand appears resilient, but the results are harder to isolate because cameras sit inside a broader segment that had enough headwinds to pull ET&S down overall.

If you want a simple headline: Sony’s imaging engine (sensors) is firing on all cylinders, while the camera side shows healthy demand signals despite mixed segment-level results.
