Sony A7 V and Sony FX3 II Latest News [ June 2025 ]

According to the latest information we have, Sony has already registered two cameras in the wireless certification agencies, and the model codes are: WW084220 and WW697160. Specifically, one of the model codes is being manufactured in Sony Japan’s manufacturing plant, and the other in Sony Wuxi.

Sony A7V Almost Confirmed here is why 

In the post that we published on May 28, 2025, we discussed briefly the Sony Wuxi plant. It is known for producing Sony semi-professional Alpha series cameras.Its highly likely that are working on the Sony A7V under model code WW084220, as the Sony A7 IV is significantly overdue for an update, making it a strong candidate for this model.

Sony Japan’s WW697160: FX3 Mark II or A7S Mark IV?

There’s another camera being built at Sony Japan—most likely a cinema-style model. Sony Alpha leaker Zhang Yi Fei dug into the model code WW697160 and uncovered three pro-level features that we’d missed. From those features, it’s clear that, aside from the WW084220 code (which is expected to be an A7-series model), this new model with its standout specs is probably either the Sony FX3 Mark II or the A7S Mark IV, the successor to the A7S Mark III.

• 5.1GHz Wi-Fi 6E + 80MHz Bandwidth
  • Purpose: Sustains 800Mbps+ data throughput for:
    • 6K RAW over-the-air monitoring (min. 600Mbps)
    • 4K/120p multi-client livestreaming
  • Constant: Photo-centric bodies max out at 200 Mbps (4K/30p)
• 23dBm Transmission Power (EIRP)
  • Purpose: Ensures 30m+ stable links in RF-noisy environments
• 256QAM Modulation
  • Purpose: Low-latency error correction for real-time focus pulling/audio sync

Now the user also explains why he thinks that the registered model WW697160 is not the A7 Mark V camera.

• The first and foremost reason is the manufacturing location. The specific model code is being manufactured in Sony Japan, which used to be a manufacturing place for Sony’s flagship full-frame mirrorless cameras or the cinema line of cameras.
• Then the Wi-Fi mismatch—the camera uses Wi-Fi 6E and not Wi-Fi 5, which has $25 extra production line cost, and in general, that’s what we have seen. The 6E 23 dBm power also drains the battery faster.

Sony FX3 Mark II & Sony A7 V Near the Horizon

So considering all the factors—that they are using a highly advanced Wi-Fi unit inside the camera, which is not that much usual in semi-professional mirrorless cameras like Sony A7 Mark V, and the production location, the production line and the typical serials—everything—then for sure, the registered model code WW697160 is expected to be the Sony FX3 Mark II camera or maybe the Sony A7S Mark IV. But since the rumor mill source has mentioned that the FX3 Mark II camera is almost ready to be announced, so we are ruling out the possibility of the arrival of the Sony A7S Mark IV camera here.
