The upcoming Sony A7V camera may feature a 44-megapixel full-frame BSI CMOS sensor. Although the sensor isn’t very new it was published back in April, but the sensor specs fit the upcoming Sony A7V camera profile very well. The sensor features a 16-lane high-speed interface standard developed by Sony Semiconductors. This is approximately 2x faster than the Sony A7R 5 camera’s 61 MP sensor and the Sony a6700 camera’s 26 MP sensor, both of which are limited to 8 lanes. The recently announced 44 MP sensor doubles the speed of data transfer.
The maximum burst speed or continuous shooting speed of the sensor is up to 26 frames per second with all-pixel readout without any line skipping. The sensor is also able to record 12-bit 8K videos at up to 30 frames per second.
It all depends on Sony now. The big question is whether Sony will select the Sony A7 V model to bring these important updates to their ecosystem at a reasonable price tag, or they will wait for further updates like the Sony A7 VI camera body to introduce a 44 MP sensor and 8K video recording capability.
What will Sony bring next? So now it depends on Sony what they will do, they can even bring out the Sony A7 IV R model if they wish to. But, in general, if we look at their current lineup, without further expanding it they have two options: keep Sony’s 33 MP A74 Camera sensor and update rest of the core specification by introducing a dedicated AI chip. Since we already have the BIONZ XR image processor paired with the Sony A7 4 camera, adding a dedicated AI chip inside the Sony A7 4 camera can bring a mid-core update to the market. OR, they can put a Major update by surprising all competitors with a brand new 44MP sensor-based camera and 8K video recording capability.
Here is what a Sony A7 V camera specs would look like if they introduced a 44MP sensor inside the Sony A7 V camera body.

I am afraid this is way too expensive for A7 V 2000 dollars camera.
It can do 8k 60p fps, 4k 120p.
Maybe a stacked version could end up in A1 II.
