Its all coming from Bobby Tonelli And Matt Irwin PODcast
About Sony A7 V
Sony A7 V is expected to feature Same Resolution Sensor but FASTER readout speed,an AI autofocus chip, improved video capabilities (possibly 4K 120 or 6K), and (MAY BE )open gate functionality.
I am talking about this podcast because they are very, very accurate about camera predictions, and if you talk about Matt, he predicted the arrival of the Nikon Z Raptor camera 4 months ago, and now we have the Raptor from Nikon. This is not only about one prediction—Matt is generally very accurate about Nikon’s upcoming cameras, ofcourse he is deeply connected with Nikon.
Talking about his 2024 predictions related to Sony, they were mostly accurate. So now, both are talking in the podcast, which is summarized below, and you can see the main parts of the podcast as well.
Bob Tonelli said we will have the Sony A7 V camera with the same resolution sensor but a faster readout, which is able to record 4K 60fps. Later on, Matt asked if there is any possibility to have 6K open-gate recording or something similar to that what we have seen in the S5II and S5IIx, and then discussion goes on about possibilites. What we get straight from Bob Tonelli this time is that there is a high probability—if he is right—then the resolution is expected to remain the same, but we will have a stacked CMOS sensor like what we have seen recently in the Nikon Z6 III.

Market Dynamics and Competition
Viltrox’s upcoming 35mm f/1.2 LAB and 85mm f/1.2 LAB lenses, combined with RED Komodo X or A9 III, offer a budget-friendly filmmaking kit with fast, accurate autofocus.
RED’s Z mount integration revitalizes the Komodo X, providing a competitive 6K option against Sony A9 III at a similar price point.
🔬LAB lenses challenge native manufacturers by offering high build quality and features at lower prices, potentially forcing them to improve quality and pricing.
Niche Market Innovations
Leica’s rumored digital EVF M camera could attract younger audiences and aid older users with declining eyesight, while maintaining the M series design ethos for their 100th anniversary in 2025.
8 LAB lens offers firmware updates via phone app and Bluetooth, enabling improved performance and support beyond traditional desktop or camera system methods.
Fujifilm’s rumored GFX100 compact camera could succeed if it offers 100MP resolution in a portable body with a fixed lens, similar to the popular GFX50R rangefinder.
