The Sony FX3 camera was announced back on February 23, 2021. It was a full-frame mirrorless consumer cinema camera. It was made to make cinema cameras within the reach of more and more professionals—those who love to have a compact body with all the possible features of a professional cinema camera. The FX3, at the time of the announcement, had a 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor that was used in the Sony A7S Mark III camera and featured 4K Ultra HD video recording up to 120 frames per second and 10-bit 4:2:2 XAVC S-I internal recording.
Limitations of Sony FX3
But at the time of the announcement, the camera was lacking an internal RAW video recording mode, and of course, the FX9 also does. But with the FX3, we do have an option to get 16-bit RAW video by the HDMI port, but again, no option to record RAW internally.
The other option that was missing inside the FX3 is open-gate recording, which is now available in almost all Panasonic and Fuji cameras. Even cameras like the Panasonic S9, S5 II, Fuji X-S20, and Panasonic S1R Mark II now offer open-gate recording.
What Rumor Mills Are Saying This Time
A lot of rumors indicate potential upgrades to the sensor, including a global shutter sensor, which is coming from SAR.com
What We Know So Far about Sony FX3 II
New features are coming inside the FX3 Mark II camera, which will fill the gaps of the first version of this camera.
- The first feature that we are about to receive in the FX3 Mark II is an open-gate recording in a 3:2 format, which is almost confirmed. After a very long wait, Sony professional users will be getting open-gate recording in their upcoming professional camera.
- The other confirmed set of features includes 12-bit internal RAW internal video recording, which is about to arrive inside this camera. It’s really a kind of exciting moment to see these new features that we have never witnessed or seen in Sony’s professional consumer-grade cameras coming along with the FX3 Mark II announcement.
- The Next Cinema Camera from Sony is FX3 II, Arriving before Q3 of 2025.
Why Do Internal 12-bit RAW and Open Gate Actually Matter to Professionals?
A RAW video that a camera records is uncompressed or minimally compressed data, which is directly coming from the sensor without passing through different algorithms, providing the maximum latitude possible for color grading and other post-production adjustments. 12-bit video offers color depth, allowing users to have smooth gradients as well as better dynamic range handling compared to other lower bit-depth or compressed video codecs. So, having these capabilities internally means filmmakers can enjoy filmmaking and can get the maximum possible advantage of the sensor being used inside the camera, which other camera makers are also giving right now.
Another important aspect, professional content creators nowadays use open-gate recording to handle the content for multiple platforms simultaneously. These content creators need to adapt footage for various platforms recording at the same time, and by recording the full sensor, they can crop out aspect ratios required for post-production without losing the video quality of the camera.
It’s a Time for Upgrade
Sony’s higher-end cameras like the FX9 and FX6 do not support internal RAW recording and require an external recorder to capture 16-bit RAW via SDI output, and that’s the most frustrating thing for many professionals out there. That’s why, possibly, they are migrating to different brands such as Panasonic Lumix at this moment. So, the market pressure from the competitors for having internal RAW video recording as well as the open gate has led Sony to innovate these features in the FX3 Mark II (based on the information we have ). If they fail to innovate, they will not remain competitive with others, and that will be a big mess for the brand’s consumer base. Given the success of the FX3 and the growing market demand for hybrid cameras as well as advanced video features, this is the best time for Sony to release the FX3 Mark II camera with extended capabilities.

According to the latest coming from rumor mill, the Sony A75 camera has been delayed. Earlier, it was expected sometime in April 2025, but the recent information coming from trusted sources of the rumor mill suggests the camera will arrive sometime in late 2025.
The exact reason is not known yet, take a look at what the sources of the rumor mill said about the dealy
Source 1
The Sony A7V is ready but Sony is waiting for Canon R6III to make the first pricing move in this segment, and are willing to postpone the A7V launch if they have to.
Source 2
The Sony A7v will be delayed, unfortunately a lot.
It could be so bad that it won’t come until the end of the year, late autumn at the earliest. This is information I have received from the depths of Sony.
Source 3 (trusted source):
Sony is still having problems producing enough Sony A1II cameras. This is also a reason why they are waiting with the launch of the new A7V. The production of the A1II should reach the targets by the end of March/April.
Sony A7S IV announcement this year
Now finally, one more important piece of information related to the upcoming camera—Sony will be announcing the A7S IV camera this year, and that’s the hint that we have received from the rumor mill. It’s not the A7R6 or the A75, which has been delayed, of course. We already have updates on the Sony A93 camera recently, which is not too old with a newer Global sensor and advanced processing power.
The only leftover series that actually needs an URGENT update in the consumer-level mirrorless lineup of cameras is the Sony A7S series, which has been continuously ignored and is still waiting for an update. So, we are expecting the arrival of the A7S4 this year. We will keep you updated as soon as we get any new information related to the upcoming camera.

Its all coming from Bobby Tonelli And Matt Irwin PODcast
About Sony A7 V
Sony A7 V is expected to feature Same Resolution Sensor but FASTER readout speed,an AI autofocus chip, improved video capabilities (possibly 4K 120 or 6K), and (MAY BE )open gate functionality.
I am talking about this podcast because they are very, very accurate about camera predictions, and if you talk about Matt, he predicted the arrival of the Nikon Z Raptor camera 4 months ago, and now we have the Raptor from Nikon. This is not only about one prediction—Matt is generally very accurate about Nikon’s upcoming cameras, ofcourse he is deeply connected with Nikon.
Talking about his 2024 predictions related to Sony, they were mostly accurate. So now, both are talking in the podcast, which is summarized below, and you can see the main parts of the podcast as well.
Bob Tonelli said we will have the Sony A7 V camera with the same resolution sensor but a faster readout, which is able to record 4K 60fps. Later on, Matt asked if there is any possibility to have 6K open-gate recording or something similar to that what we have seen in the S5II and S5IIx, and then discussion goes on about possibilites. What we get straight from Bob Tonelli this time is that there is a high probability—if he is right—then the resolution is expected to remain the same, but we will have a stacked CMOS sensor like what we have seen recently in the Nikon Z6 III.
Summary of Video
Take a look at the set of other things discussed in that VIDEO
Camera Technology Advancements
RED cameras now support Nikon Z mount lenses via firmware update, offering customizable focus speed, programmable buttons, and accurate iris control on Komodo X and V-Raptor models.
Viltrox’s 135mm f/1.8 LAB lens, priced 50% less than competitors, delivers exceptional image quality resolving up to 60-50 megapixels with no chromatic aberration.
RED’s $1,500 lens mount upgrade program allows existing Komodo X and V-Raptor owners to switch to Z mount, retrofitting most models except the original Komodo.
Upcoming Cameras
Sony A7 V is expected to feature the Same Resolution Sensor but FASTER readout speed,an AI autofocus chip, improved video capabilities (possibly 4K 120 or 6K), and (maybe)open gate functionality.
Sony A7R VI is expected to arrive in Q4 of 2025, But he didn’t discuss about the resolution of the upcoming camera A7R 6 camera.
Market Dynamics and Competition
Viltrox’s upcoming 35mm f/1.2 LAB and 85mm f/1.2 LAB lenses, combined with RED Komodo X or A9 III, offer a budget-friendly filmmaking kit with fast, accurate autofocus.
RED’s Z mount integration revitalizes the Komodo X, providing a competitive 6K option against Sony A9 III at a similar price point.
🔬LAB lenses challenge native manufacturers by offering high build quality and features at lower prices, potentially forcing them to improve quality and pricing.
Niche Market Innovations
Leica’s rumored digital EVF M camera could attract younger audiences and aid older users with declining eyesight, while maintaining the M series design ethos for their 100th anniversary in 2025.
8 LAB lens offers firmware updates via phone app and Bluetooth, enabling improved performance and support beyond traditional desktop or camera system methods.
Fujifilm’s rumored GFX100 compact camera could succeed if it offers 100MP resolution in a portable body with a fixed lens, similar to the popular GFX50R rangefinder.

Sony registered a new camera with the wireless certification agency, and the model code of the camera is WW277226. What we are expecting for now is the Sony A7 V camera, since if we pick up the rumors we just published recently [ Sony A7V surfaced at wireless certification agency and Sony A7 V and Sony 50-105mm F2.8 Lens Coming], it all indicates that Sony is planning to announce the A7 V camera in early 2025, as per the Sony rumor mill that the announcement may happen in March 2025. Generally, whenever camera makers like Sony, Nikon, or Canon register a camera with the wireless certification agency, they take 2–3 months to announce their product in the market. And since the Wireless certification details of the Sony A7V camera surfaced back in December it’s quite obvious that the camera is expected to arrive in March 2025.
Now about WW277226 – it’s one more camera in the two, WW277226 is not Sony A7V it’s something else although the name isn’t known yet. But since it has been surfaced today [on January 21st, 2025] the announcement of the Next ALPHA camera after the Sony A7V is expected sometime in April-May 2025.
Sony Upcoming Camera Model Codes 2025
1. WW 773396 – Sony A7 V [Registered on December 5th, 2024]
2. WW277226 – Model Name Unknown [Registered on January 21st, 2025]
We will update you when we get any new information about the upcoming Sony A7 V camera.

According to the latest, Sony will announce the FE 50-105 F2.8 lens at the end of February 2025. At the same time, Sony is highly likely to announce the Sony A7 V camera in March 2025.
We have gathered a lot of information about the Sony A7 V camera in the past [check all updates here Sony A7 V], and the latest set of details suggests that the camera may feature a 44-megapixel sensor. However, in the past webio (Chinese sources) suggested that there is also the possibility of a 33-megapixel stacked CMOS sensor. So, if we concentrate on all the information received over the past year, it creates two possibilities: either the camera will come with a 44 MP BSI CMOS sensor or a 33 MP stacked CMOS sensor.
Again, we are waiting for further confirmation. If received, we will post an update very soon.

According to the latest rumors surfaced the Sony A7 V camera is coming very soon. Sony may announce a brand new camera at CES 2025, and according to their information, it could be the A7 V camera. The information is coming out from Camerabeta(webio), so we have to take it with a grain of salt
At the very same time, just prior to the official announcement of a camera, we generally get a lot of leaks, like leaked images, core specifications, and all these kinds of hints for 10 or 15 days before an official announcement. The big reason behind that is that a lot of review units get distributed just prior to the announcement of any camera to create sample reviews and a kind of positive environment.
However, the entire situation is quite dry, which doesn’t indicate a major announcement in the next 15 days.
But again, if we get any information related to upcoming cameras or lenses, we will update you very soon. Stay tuned for upcoming updates!

Sony has just registered a new camera, At CMIIT, the model is WW 773396 distinct from the previously announced Sony A1 Mark II, which has two different sub-models registered at the wireless certification agency with variable bandwidth.

But when will the Sony A7V camera arrive? According to the current rumors, the Sony A7V camera is expected to arrive on or before April 2025 (90% chance). However, if delayed, the announcement could be stretched to October 2025.
