Although it is a bit early to talk about the Sony A7R V announcement and specs, due to the arrival of the Canon EOS R5 camera, Sony has accelerated the development speed of the Sony A7R V camera with enhanced video core specification.
It’s a little early to talk about the Sony A7R V and Sony A9R full frame E-mount cameras. We can foresee that the Sony A7R V announcement will extend to 2022 or at best by the end of 2021. Both of the Sony A7R V and A9R cameras rumored to feature new image sensor and video recording at 6K. See the Sony A7R V latest rumors about sensor details.
According to leaked specs sheet, this IMX555CQR sensor has 102MP resolution. It is capable to capture 6K videos using 12bit ADC with on-chip binning/line-skipping. 4K RGB 4:4:4 video with on-chip color-aware binning.
IMX555CQR sensor features:
- 102MP, 12288 x 8192
- A pixel binning mode for 12bit 6K video
- 4K RGB 4:4:4 video with on-chip colour-aware binning
- 10fps
On the other hand there is a strong possibility that Sony will use the new sensor in the Sony A9R camera to compete against Canon’s upcoming EOS Rs/EOS R5c camera.

Keep the 61 mp sensor in the A7R V. Nothing wrong with that sensor. Upgrade it to the BionZ XR processor, improve the AF further and double the resolution of the evf. Add the feature to lock closed the shutter when changing lenses and add a global electronic shutter. Done.
