According to the latest rumors, The Sony A7C Mark II camera is coming with the same 33MP full-frame Exmor R CMOS BSI sensor and the same IBIS unit, that we have seen in the Sony A74 camera. But, the EVF is expected to remain the same as the Sony A7C Camera.
Take a look at what the source said to the rumor mill
We can expect A7C II next year. Sony already reserved some components from A7IV for “another camera” including for example sensor and IBIS. Also they scheduled increased production ONLY for EVF from A7C mk1 for this year. So we are expecting A7C II same specs as A7IV, redesigned shell but same EVF like mk1.
On Nov 26th, 2022 in one of our articles published [Sony upcoming cameras of 2023] we told back then the Sony A7C Mark II camera will arrive in Q3 / Q4 of 2023 with the same sensor that we have seen in Sony A74. Now, we are getting the same confirmation from other rumor mills too.
Latest Sony A7C Mark II – Rumor Analysis
Is the rumored information correct or not? Yes, we do know based on the scheduled announcement patterns of these Mirrorless makers, there is a high probability that we will see the Sony A7C Mark II camera in the year 2023 and we have said the same in our previous post too.
But the big question is, as the source said the Sony A7C Mark II will use the same sensor and IBIS unit as the Sony A7 IV camera,
1. Sony 33MP Full-Frame Exmor R CMOS BSI Sensor in A7C Mark II
Let’s talk about 33MP Sensor only– The source speculates that the A7C Mark II will feature the same sensor as the A7 IV, which is a strong possibility given that it’s already been 10+ months since the A7 IV was released, and as the market competition is begin raised up and competitors like Panasonic S5 Mark II | S5X arrived, they have no other option then to make an affordable Sony A74 mark IV curry for Cinematographers and content creators if they want to survive in $2000 body price range of cameras (against Pannsonic S5 II), As you know the Sony A7 C Mark I look drastically weak in front of S5 Mark II and yes, the Sony FX30 is a good option for beginner cinematographers but it features an APS-C CMOS sensor, the A7C Mark II will be a perfect competitor of Panasonic S5 Mark II if they upscale the video core specs (Like 4k 60p uncropped) and remove the overheating issue from the camera.
Not only that, the A7C Mark II is expected to have a more content creators-friendly body design, to make it more user-friendly undoubtedly we will see some sacrifice in the controls or EVF part compared to the A74. So, the Sony A7 IV camera will remain safe in its place if someone wants a super perfect Hybrid Camera more for photography and a bit less for dedicated video work A7 IV is still the perfect option for them, but at the same time the Sony A7C Mark II will not only attract a new consumer base, but it will also stop the migration of Sony users to a different brand like Panasonic or Canon.
2. Same or Redesigned Sony A7 IV IBIS Unit inside A7C Mark II Body?
Ok, the sensor part is perfect, but how is it possible, the upcoming Sony A7C Mark II will use the same IBIS unit as the Sony A7 IV camera ?.take a look at what dpreview said about the Sony A7C camera
Sony has redesigned its in-body stabilization system to fit into a much smaller body than before
Is the rumor mill source really correct with the set of information he shared with us? Since, if Sony uses the same IBIS Sensor mechanism of the Sony A74 IV camera in Sony A7C Mark II Body, the camera will lose its Truly compact form factor, will Sony camera division marketing team allow this to happen?. Yes, they can use a Redesigned version of the Sony A7 Mark IV IBIS unit to easily fit inside the Sony A7C Mark II body and the camera retains its compact form factor.
And yes, finally the EVF, the camera is made for cinematographers, content creators, and videographers so having a high-quality EVF isn’t that important in the upcoming Sony A7C Mark II camera. So, yes the Sony A7C Mark II may arrive with the same 2.36m-Dot OLED Electronic Viewfinder.

So, we have now the Canon financial results for Q4 2022. According to the report by Canon, the imagine (camera) division of CanonIn Q3, enjoying double-digit growth in unit sales, driven by higher product supply and new models, and the recently announced EOS R7 and R10, leading to significant revenue increase with lens sales.
More Details coming out from Canon Sales Report pdf
Demand for cameras remains solid, even amid economic slowdown, thanks to the launch of new mirrorless models and interchangeable lenses by each company. As a result, we expect the market in 2022 to be 5.45 million units, a slight increase compared to last year.
In the third quarter, thanks to the higher volume of product supply and the addition of new models, namely the EOS R7 and EOS R10, mirrorless cameras that incorporate APS-C size sensors, we posted double-digit growth in unit sales, and coupled with an increase in lens sales, a significant increase in overall revenue.
Regarding our unit sales projection for the full year, we maintained our previous projection of 2.8 million units as we will not be able to supply enough products to meet demand. Going forward, we will continue to stimulate demand by steadily strengthening our lineup of EOS R series mirrorless cameras.
Cameras that incorporate full-frame sensors, like the EOS R5 and EOS R6, continue to enjoy strong support from professionals and advanced amateurs. Additionally, the 2 new cameras that incorporate APS-C size sensors, with their light-weight and small form factor appeal, are encouraging users who want to enjoy serious photography to switch from SLR cameras or step up from entry models.
We have also expanded our range of RF lenses to 32 models, providing users a variety of options.
Going forward, we will continue efforts to expand our market share and maintain high profitability by building a more robust EOS R system lineup
Does the last line indicate Canon EOS R Mark II is Coming?
In the last line you can read, “expand our market share and maintain high profitability by building a more robust EOS R system lineup” the line suggests that Canon is planning to announce a new camera model or models that will attract and expand the user base of interchangeable lens cameras. This could mean that the new model may have features aka specifications that will appeal to a broader range of users, beyond just professionals and advanced amateurs. The goal may be to increase the popularity of interchangeable lens cameras and bring in new users who previously used other types of cameras or who have not used a camera before. So, it clearly indicates that Canon will refresh the entry-level EOS R Mirrorless line-up, so we can expect either the arrival of base models like Canon R50 / R100 as rumored earlier or EOS R Mark II / Canon R8 or maybe a mixed bag of announcements to appeal wide consumer base.
Finally, we have some good for Sony Mirrorless camera users, According to Nikkei Shimbun, Sony is moving already moved 90% of its Camera Production line from China to Thailand. So, now the Thailand plant working in a much larger capacity, this was really very important to ensure the steady supply of camera units worldwide.. We already faced big issues in the past when almost all the new models of Sony cameras were available in very limited quality, so undoubtedly it was an excellent move form, Sony.
Yes, the Mirrorless camera production line now shifted to Thailand, but still the Gmaster series lenses we are using, most of them are made in china.
It’s not the first time a camera maker closed its camera production plant in china. Just before Sony, Nikon shut down its digital camera factory in the Jiangsu province of China Canon also closed its major plant located in China – the Zhuhai factory. The 32-year plant is the only production base for digital cameras, sensors, And now finally Sony.
The Nikon Z6 Mark II camera is one of the most popular Nikon full-frame cameras of 2021 and 2022, I know a lot of my subscribers, those who are also into wedding photography and video purchased the same camera along with the 27-70mm F4 Lens and some were able to grab the 28-75mm F2.8 Lens. And guess what we have amazing viltrox lenses too for shooting portraits and candids at weddings. Kindly note that even if ur a fashion, travel, or landscape shooter the camera does have amazing features and extensive manual controls to get the best out of the camera.
If you going to talk about the price vs specification of this camera then it is one of the best cameras in its price range. The other two competitors we have in this price range are Sony A7C and Sony A73,
Should You buy Nikon Z6 mark II 2023?
If you can wait you should, we have already discussed about the arrival of the Nikon Z6 Mark III in one of our posts here. If Nikon goes according to its scheduled arrival time we will have Z6 III in the year 2023
Do you really want the camera on an urgent basis then, of course, you go with Nikon Z6 Mark II camera. Otherwise if ur easy with waiting time then you should wait for the better version. Since, as per rumors it’s coming this year.

Canon recently developed a new image sensor for surveillance purposes (security camera, etc). The newly developed sensor is a layered type sensor (No, we are not talking about favon sensors this time), it is Canon’s homemade advanced Stacked CMOS sensor in two layers (but, its more advance than canon existing stacked CMOS sensors): The Newly developed sensor carries its central processing unit (CPU) punched on rear side of it, that performs calculations in a second layer for super fast readout speed with almost non-exitance rolling shutter or motion blur being introduced in the image or video, the sensor readout speed is so fast it can clearly capture the number plate of fast-moving cars in the road without any distortion.
Now let’s talk about the major advantage of the camera sensor or you can say it is a BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY, When ur shooting in an environment with a significant difference in brightness (shadow vs highlights like shooting on a harsh sunny day without any lens filters or reflectors or even lights.). Canon’s newly developed CMOS sensor divides the entire scene into different parts and follows a algorithm of “exposure by area” that changes the exposure conditions for each area. So, u get a perfect HDR output from the sensor either the sensor capturing still or video. Undoubtedly the new CMOS sensor can improve the performance of surveillance cameras.
So, is there any possibility of Canon using the same sensor technology in Mirrorless cameras?
Yes, we do believe that Canon will use the newly developed sensor tech in the Upcoming Mirrorless cameras too, but obviously not so soon. It is possible that Canon could use the same sensor technology in mirrorless cameras. See, initially, the sensor is designed for surveillance applications like High-Quality security cameras etc. But, if we look at the technical aspects of the sensor, having a sensor with Zero- rolling shutter issues and multi-area exposure HDR image and video will upscale Mirrorless camera performance to the next level.
Press Text
Industry’s highest standard, performance of “CMOS sensor” for surveillance developed by Canon
The developed CMOS sensor is a layered type with two layers: pixels that convert external light into electrical signals and a central processing unit (CPU) that performs calculations. Compared to when pixels and CPUs are placed on the same substrate, more CPUs and dedicated circuits Processing power has increased, making it easier to shoot high-precision images even when the subject is moving.
The CMOS sensor developed by Canon this time divides the screen finely and adopts “exposure by area” that changes the exposure conditions for each area.Since no compositing process is required, there is no need to worry about blurring the subject.It can contribute to Improving the performance of surveillance cameras by, for example, simultaneously recognizing the vehicle license plate and driver’s face at the entrance/exit of an underground parking lot.
The confirmation arrived from Yamane-san from Panasonic recently mentioned in an interview that they will adopt the best autofocus method (obviously they are talking about the PDAF) depending on the target users and customer benefits, and they will consider installing PDAF on the camera based on its characteristics (means starting from the pro-MFT like GH series and then moving downwards). This particular piece of information adds more credibility to the set of information we have shared with u guys a while ago.
Actual Parts of the interview
As for future cameras, we will adopt the optimal autofocus method each time, while assessing the target users and customer benefits. We will consider installing PDAF depending on the characteristics of the model, not only for full size but also for MFTs, so please look forward to it.
About future 2023 products:
We will continue to support creators and develop products that creators want. And we will also consider the need for higher-end products to meet the future needs of creators. I can’t give you details about future products, but Johnnie’s high-end model for video production professionals may take a little more time. Anyway, please look forward to that day.
A part of the Text from our article published on January 22nd, 2023
One of the most highly-anticipated features of the GH7 is its hybrid AF sensor, yes we do believe this time we will have a Hybrid CMOS AF inside. This sensor will be a combination of both contrast-detection and phase-detection autofocus technologies just like we have seen in the recently announced Panasonic’s S5 Mark II camera and has received positive feedback from users. The inclusion of this technology in the GH7 camera will allow for faster and more accurate autofocus, making it a more attractive option for professional photographers and videographers who require high-performance cameras. The only Major Upgrade I Wish for inside the upcoming GH7 camera.
However, it is important to note that while Yamane-san’s comments provide some support for the speculations in the article, it is still important to wait for official announcements from Panasonic regarding their upcoming GH7 camera
