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.
Summary of Video
Take a look at the set of other things discussed in that VIDEO
Camera Technology Advancements
RED cameras now support Nikon Z mount lenses via firmware update, offering customizable focus speed, programmable buttons, and accurate iris control on Komodo X and V-Raptor models.
Viltrox’s 135mm f/1.8 LAB lens, priced 50% less than competitors, delivers exceptional image quality resolving up to 60-50 megapixels with no chromatic aberration.
RED’s $1,500 lens mount upgrade program allows existing Komodo X and V-Raptor owners to switch to Z mount, retrofitting most models except the original Komodo.
Upcoming Cameras
Sony A7 V is expected to feature the Same Resolution Sensor but FASTER readout speed,an AI autofocus chip, improved video capabilities (possibly 4K 120 or 6K), and (maybe)open gate functionality.
Sony A7R VI is expected to arrive in Q4 of 2025, But he didn’t discuss about the resolution of the upcoming camera A7R 6 camera.
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.

Nikon Z5 II specification surfaced on a website, that is not much different from the specification we posted a while ago, take a look at the rumored specification
Rumored Specifications:
- 24.5MP backside-illuminated CMOS sensor
- Equipped with Expeed 7 image processor
- 5-axis in-body image stabilization
- 4K video recording at 30fps
- 1080p video recording at 120fps
- The 273-point hybrid autofocus system
- Real-time eye/animal tracking
- 3.69-million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder
- 3.2-inch fully articulating screen
- Dual UHS-II SD card slots
- USB-C charging, compliant with the latest EU regulations
So, in the core specification, we are not able to spot any major difference from what we have already shared with you. [Nikon Z5 II Coming in Summer of 2025]
Nikon Z50 II Arrival Date
Nikon Z5 II arrival date – as we have mentioned earlier the Nikon Z50 II demand is at its peak and Nikon will surely allow the Z50II to reach its peak period, which generally lasts 7 to 8 months after the camera’s announcement. In general, camera manufacturers avoid announcing two different cameras in the approx same price range due to the fear that each will cannibalize the other’s sales.
Since the Nikon Z50 II was announced back in November 2024, it seems quite logical for Nikon to announce the Z5 II camera sometime in the summer months of 2025. So, the Announcement is expected on or before August 2025.

Nikon has working flagship mirrorless prototypes with Global sensors. Right now, we have very limited information since they didn’t exist in the handling experience of any professional photographer. The Early [box style] prototypes are very much restricted to lab environments. The source said the project name is ZX (don’t consider it an official name). When we asked about the arrival date and competitors, the camera is a direct competitor of the Canon R3 or Sony A9 Mark III. The expected arrival timeline points towards Q4 of 2026.
The source also added the camera is scheduled to be sent for testing to 50+ pro-Nikon photographers worldwide in Q1 of 2026, so from the first quarter of 2026, the rumor mill will start getting channelized information related to the Nikon ZX.

Today, the Z Cinema camera was officially announced. As we all know, RED Digital Cinema is now a subsidiary brand of Nikon. They have modified and relaunched the V-RAPTOR with a Z Mount and the KOMODO with a Z Mount.
We were the first ones to talk about the Z KOMODO [read our expectation article], and just a few months later, we received information about the RAPTOR. The context was that they were working on both series one after the other, and finally, they announced them today.
The new RAPTOR and KOMODO with the Z Mount feature inherit all the goodness of the Z Mount system. This means the autofocus performance has also been integrated into these cameras. So if you are using the recently announced Z Cinema lenses or Nikon Z Mount system lenses, there should be no problem. As we all know, the RAPTOR camera offers 20+ stops of dynamic range, and using it with improved autofocus lenses will be a game changer in the field of cinematography.

So, that’s the teaser TTartisan has uploaded to its page. They are making very bold claims about their upcoming product on 27 February at the CP+ Show in Yokohama, Japan.

We don’t know the reason why this happened, but Nikon’s financial results recently came out, showing an overall decline in profits with a huge margin, specifically in the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2025.
As the report says, they have achieved only 39.1% of the sales target, so it doesn’t look that good. This is what they projected or what they thought—they have achieved only approximately 40% of that.
The company’s consolidated net profit from April to December fell 74.9% year over year and dropped to 6.26 billion. And now Profits for the most recent quarter (October-December) dropped 78.3% to 3.29 billion yen. Now, Nikon expects a 28.2% profit increase in the months of January to March, bringing the net profit to an overall figure of 9.73 billion yen.
The biggest thing that I have noticed is that their operating profit margin has also shrunk from 10.5% to 1.3%, which is really not good for any company out there, whether it’s a camera maker or a cellphone maker.
When a company’s operating profit margin drops to 1%, it indicates that the company is barely making money from its core business operations.
