I am a film maker. If Sony cannot come up even with a 10 bit processing camera in the next two months, I am afraid I will shift to Canon EOS R5.
I hope that Sony will overcome Canon R5 with A7S3 or A7RV with 8k and 4.2.2 10bit with more superior feature. Sony needs to create a new auto zoom lens with 24- 120 or so with compact f4 or less. I have a73 and happy with it but if Sony will not beat Canon R5, I may buy R5.
I am using a7 sII and FS7 for a very long time now, if A7 SIII is not getting released by September 2020 I need to sell all my Sony gear and switch to Canon R5.
Now really high time for RX10 M5
Are the comments above just copy cats of each other? “iF sOnY dOeSnT wIpE mY aSs In 6 mInUtEs iM gOiNg To tHe r5!!”
