[Title of Invention] Optical system and imaging device
As usual, not all patent turns into reality, let’s see how many of them turn into reality. In general, a patent roughly takes MAX 2 years of time to become an actual product, and so this will too.
Sony A7R V Teaser – Finally we have the Sony A7R V teaser. The official announcement is expected on October 26, 2022.
Sony A7R V Rumored Specification
Same 61MP sensor because all the power goes to the new processor.
TOTALLY New Autofocus system with AI deep learning
8k 24p (cropped)
4k60p 4k24p (full readout)
heat sink design of the Sony A7sIII (up to 30min 8K recording without overheating)
S cinetone is available
8 stop IBIS
Fully articulating LCD screen
The body looks like a mix between the Sony A7sIII and Sony A7IV.
Announcement October 26
First, we will see the 8k video recording capability in the A7R series camera. And not only that the camera also features a newly developed mechanical Image stabilization unit that compensates for camera shakes up to 8 Stops.
According to the latest rumors surfaced over the web, the upcoming Sony vlogging camera name is Sony ZV-1F and the specification of the camera is
Sony ZV-1F Camera Specification
October 13, 2022, 23:00 Japan time
Most likely a fixed-lens camera
Lower price than ZV-1
Not a successor to the ZV-1
20mm F2 lens
20 million pixel sensor
new menu
USB-C
JPG only
4K 24p
1080p 60p
New icon on a touch monitor
Compact design for Vloggers
From the specification we have, it’s very clear that the Sony ZV1 F is a VLOGCAM. The camera will have an even lower price than the Sony ZV1 compact vlogging camera and hence it’s not a true successor of the camera. The camera will give only JPEG output only, no RAW files which cleary means the camera is aimed at beginner vloggers.
We will post more updates as soon as they become available to us.
DJI Osmo Action 3 Finally announced by DJI – Son finally we have a new and very strong contender against the HERO 11. The new camera features DJI’s RockSteady 3.0 technology, which reduces camera shake in all directions with footage up to 4K/120p. HorizonBalancing and later more firmware updates will arrive to upscale the IS performance of the camera. The camera uses a 1/1.7 (7.4 x 5.6mm) sensor module that can capture 4K video at up to 120 frames per second (fps).
DJI Osmo Action 3 Press Release
DJI Unleashes Osmo Action 3 To Capture Moments Beyond the Edge
Osmo Action 3’s Extreme Battery and native support for vertical shooting empower users for their biggest adventures
September 14, 2022 – DJI, the world’s leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today introduces Osmo Action 3, the most powerful and content-friendly action camera DJI has ever made. With a battery that empowers users through the most extreme conditions and native vertical shooting for a new perspective of creative freedom, Osmo Action 3 is one of the most versatile, robust, and reliable action cameras available today.
“Ever since we released the original Osmo Action in 2019, we have been continuously inspired by the stunning footage captured with it,” said Paul Pan, Senior Product Line Manager at DJI. “As our users keep pushing further, moving faster, and diving deeper, our mission is to provide a device built to keep up with them. Every new feature made Osmo Action 3 the most reliable, tough, and easy-to-use action camera. We can’t wait to see what our users create when they push their limits with Osmo Action 3.”
A Battery for the Extreme, and More
Osmo Action 3 was designed as a single solution for capturing an active lifestyle, no matter how adventurous. This all starts with a 1770mAh Extreme Battery that lets the camera record for up to 160 minutes.¹ It also handles temperatures as low as -20° C (-4° F),² and charges from 0-80% in as little as 18 minutes and 0-100% in 50 minutes³, thanks to native fast-charging support, a first for action cameras. The Osmo Action 3 Extreme Battery comes with Osmo Action 3 by default; no separate purchase is required.
Adventures, Now Vertical
A world driven by social media needs a vertical-first way to capture compelling action – and Osmo Action 3 goes full send. The camera has a built-in mounting system that instantly and securely clips the camera to handlebars, helmets, and more, optimizing the quick-release system first seen in Action 2 by adding notches for a locked-in, impact-resistant hold. A new Horizontal-Vertical Protective Frame brings this quick-mounting technology in a vertical orientation, perfect for social media platforms.⁴ With a tight, reliable hold that withstands bumps, tumbles, and breaking waves, Osmo Action 3 keeps you and your most extreme moments in a perfect frame.
A Dynamic Imaging Powerhouse
Osmo Action 3 is packed with bleeding-edge hardware and software to keep up with your dynamic lifestyle. Its 1/1.7-inch imaging system shoots in 4K/120fps⁵, provides a 155° super-wide FOV, and films smooth footage with a world-class EIS suite. An improved heat management system enables continuous 4K/60fps recording until the battery runs out of power, solving the overheating issue common to many other action cameras.⁶ D-Cinelike Color Mode is available in video, slow-motion, and timelapse modes for those looking for more room to edit in post-production.⁷ And for those willing to dive deeper, Osmo Action 3 is waterproof at depths of up to 16 meters without needing any additional housing.
Steady and Smooth Footage with RockSteady
Osmo Action 3 builds on DJI’s legacy of innovative image stabilization that has transformed cinematography and aerial photography. For a multitude of dynamic shooting scenarios, Osmo Action 3 has three distinct electronic image stabilization options:
RockSteady 3.0 effectively eliminates camera shake in all directions. It works up to 4K/120fps, providing a stable and immersive first-person perspective. This is the ideal stabilization for sport-specific scenes like bike riding, and on-the-go handheld filming.
HorizonSteady helps to eliminate camera shake in all directions and even horizontally corrects tilt at any angle. That means footage can remain horizontally level, even through heavy bumps and 360° rotations, creating the effect of a perfect horizon without any post-production, even in off-kilter pursuits like surfing.
HorizonBalancing corrects the tilt horizontally within ±45° and supports recording stable 4K/60fps videos. A perfect middle ground between RockSteady and HorizonSteady, this mode is ideal when the priority is a smooth 4K picture in a dynamic environment, such as an FPV obstacle course run.
Be Seen and Heard, Loud and Clear
Osmo Action 3 is more than a rugged camera for high-intensity action; it’s also the perfect camera for vloggers and streamers alike. Osmo Action 3 is the first action camera with dual touchscreens, letting users access settings from any angle while keeping the camera in perfect position. Three-mic stereo recording reduces wind noise and boosts the audio quality of the footage. Wi-Fi Livestream supports 1080p/30fps, 720p/30fps and 480p/30fps, and pausing recording during the stream. UAC/UVC Webcam support offers high-quality video and audio for conference calls and livestreams.
Quick Switching Between Five Custom Modes gives access to user-created camera modes at the touch of a button.
Multifunctional Battery Case stores three batteries and two microSD cards, intelligently fast charges three batteries, and can be used together with those batteries as a power bank to charge other devices like your smartphone.
Voice Prompt informs users of current modes without needing to unmount the camera.
Voice Control recognizes voice commands with a high recognition rate to control the camera when hands are busy.⁸
InvisiStick for Skiing recognizes and digitally hides the selfie stick in snowsport situations.⁹
1.5m Drop Resistance from Corning Gorilla Glass for the touchscreens and lens cover.¹⁰
Timelapse with low-power consumption, preset for common scenarios (crowds, clouds, sunset), and dynamic timelapse video stabilization for smooth exposure and color temperature changes.
Digital Lens shoots in Standard (Dewarp), Wide, and Ultra-Wide for all shooting modes.
Digital Zoom of up to 4x can be adjusted while recording for better image composition.
DJI Mic Compatibility via the Type-C port, and external mics via 3.5mm to Type-C cable.
Loop Recording for continuous recording and overwriting according to a preset time.
DJI Mimo and LightCut: Two Ways to Create
Osmo Action 3 connects with the DJI Mimo smartphone app via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for even more functionality, including a live feed of the camera, various story templates, quick in-app editing, and more.¹¹ In addition, the LightCut video editor app is thoroughly optimized for use with Action 3. It can automatically select clips and intelligently match them with exclusive templates to generate ready-to-share video edits.

We are comparing these two cameras based on subscribers’ requests, Canon R7 is a recent announcement from Canon. The Canon R7 camera uses Canon RF Mount. The camera arrived with very impressive core specifications, for still shooters as well as video shooters.
The Sony A7 III camera was announced back in Feb 2018, it’s almost 4 years more. Sony A7 III was a very popular camera back in 2018, but A7 III sales were hit by the Nikon Z6 Mark II camera announcement. We have seen after the announcement of the Z6 Mark II camera, wedding photographers specifically in the Asian region now preferring up the Nikon Z6 Mark II combo with a 24-70mm F4 coverage lens and an 85mm F1.8 Prime.
The big issue is that Sony A7 IV arrived at a higher price slot and it’s not a true replacement for the Sony A73. We need a perfect replacement for the Sony A73 camera in the same price range.
Canon R7 camera now catching up to many photographers’ eyes, due to its high-resolution 32.5MP sensor, super fast DPAF 2nd generation AF system, and ability to record 40bit 4k 60p videos in CLog.
In this comparison, we will try to find out the best camera between the two, in terms of image quality, AF speed, and Video performance.
1. Sensor
So, we have two entirely different sensors here, the sensor sitting inside the Canon R7 camera is a 1.6X Crop sensor / APS-C Sensor and the Sony A73 camera has a full-frame BSI CMOS sensor. Despite being an APS-C Sensor the resolution is 32.5 MP, which is higher than of Sony A7 III full-frame sensor with a 24MP sensor.
In general, when we compare a full-frame sensor with an APS-C we do assume that since we have a Fullframe sensor on the other side so we will also have better low-light performance and better detail capturing ability from the full-frame, but here you have nothing to assume.
We will test both sensor performance at High ISO and as well as in base ISO for details. And then we will find out the best sensor for you.
As you can see the detail(s) capturing ability of the Canon R7 is more compared to Sony A7 3 camera. At base ISO 100, Canon 32.5 MP APS-C CMOS Sensor is able to grasp more details in the image compared to Sony’s A7 III 24.2 MP Fullframe sensor.
At a high ISO test, you can clearly see the full frame advantage, with the Sony full-frame sensor we are getting roughly 1 stop of low-light advantage. So, if ur shooting mostly in a low-light environment Sony A7 III will be more helpful.
2. Fast AutoFocus
Both cameras feature an advanced autofocus system, the Canon R7 features Dual Pixel CMOS AF II coming straight out from the Canon R3. The Canon R7 blazing fast AF system is capable to record 30FPS with will time AF/AE active. The Sony A7 III camera does have a fast AF system but lags behind Canon R7.

Electronic Shutter Up to 30 fps at 32.5 MP for up to 126 Frames (JPEG) / 42 Frames (Raw)
Autofocus Sensitivity
-3 to +20 EV
-5 to +20 EV
As you can see in the table above, the Canon R7 features a massive number of 5K AF points which is grouped further into 651 AF zones, and 4.8K AF points of the R7 camera remain active when you shoot videos in 16:9 ratio. The AF sensitivity of the Canon R7 camera goes down to -5Ev, helpful to detect AF in low-light conditions. Among both, Only R7 has the possibility of performing focus stacking in the camera.

Canon R7 is capable of recording 4K up to 60p and provides 10-bit 4:2:2 for internal recording. Sony A7 III remains limited to 8 bit recording and 4k video recording mode up to 30fps. The Canon R7 with its 32.5 MP APS-C sensor can record 4K, without a crop, up to 30p, oversampling from a 7K area (due to the higher megapixel count on the sensor to start with). But also keep in mind
If you want 4K 50/60p on the R7, you have two options:
no crop, but the quality decreases since the Camera starts using the pixel binning / line-skipping method
record on a 3840×2160 – Full sensor readout mode, which translates into a more severe 1.8x crop. The latter means a small portion of the sensor is used to record the video.
Max Bit Rate
Canon R7
340 Mbps @ 10 bit (4k 60p HQ)
Sony A7 III
100 Mbps @ 8 bit (4k 30p)
10 Bit matters, as well as bit rates, the more bit rate ur getting from your camera, is directly proportional to the video quality.
4. Image Stabilization
Canon R7 features an advanced mechanical image stabilization unit, R7 IBIS system corrects up to 7 stops of camera shake when shooting handheld. This 5-axis system can be also used in conjunction with OIS lenses to compensate for up to 8 stops of camera shake depending on the specific lens in use. Sony A7 III IBIS is effective up to 5 Stops.
As we all know that Sony A7 III is free from overheating under normal conditions. If you watch Gordon Laing’s hands-on on YouTube, the video test shows even the Canon R7 is free from overheating as well and you can record up to an hour of 4k 30p high-quality videos without any issues.
6. Lenses ECO System
As we all know Sony has an open Lens ECO system, we have a lot of options from Sony as well as they are somehow affordable too. In, Canon we do have some limitations. Although you can use DSLR lenses with an EF to EOS R adapter. But, that’s not so recommended if ur a Sports shooter or cinematographer.
It depends upon you, if ur able to find out your own usable lenses under budget then it’s super awesome, otherwise better to shift to Sony.
But, don’t worry at all I have already written the best lenses for the Canon R10 guide, you can select any of these lenses for Canon R7 camera too. And also we have the Best lens guide for the Sony A73 camera.
Conclusion
Despite having sensor size limitations, Canon R7 does have the ability to capture more details, a better AF system, and also features advanced video recording modes with a 10-bit RAW recording option. On the other, we have a Sony A73 camera with 1 stop better low-light performance and open lens ECO system.
