Also look at Sony A7IV recent leaked specification

Well, keep in mind that these are rumored set of specification, take it with a grain of salt. And as usual as we have told you earlier in one of our posts that Sony is now putting minimal core specs updates in their new cameras.
The reason behind these modest core updates (except A7S series) is the absence of a perfect competitor. Canon and Nikon Mirrorless ECO system isn’t mature enough to give tough competition to Sony A7 series cameras.
According to the latest rumors coming out from rumor mills, upcoming Sony A7 IV camera will have with Vari-angle display screen and almost the same core specification as we have seen in the Sony A7III.

As all know Sony is now making their Mirrorless camera more vlogger friendly and incremental updates. Sony A6400, Sony A6100 and Sony A6600 are Sony latest APS-C line of cameras with vlogging friendly screen with modest updates.
Just like what they did with APS-C flagship camera, there is a high probability they will do the same with Sony A7IV camera. We may have modest set of upgrades in the core specs with a Vlogging friendly screen.
