Sony’s missing camera. There is a hole in the lineup.
To me the A7V is not the problem. the $4000 difference in price between the A1II and A7V is. The older A1, a great camera I already own, only reduces that difference to $2800 but has no precapture so you have to really know if you want 50 Mpixels or precapture. The A9iI is also not a solution at $4488 since it also has no precapture and is only 24.2 Mpixels.
Also many YouTubers have begun to point out that less expensive third party lens also won’t pair well the 30 fps of these cameras so in fact Sony will maybe make up the revenue with increase sales of its first party G/GM lenses. Maybe that has been Sony’s strategy all along.
So we really need to price out a system with both bodies AND lenses that work together to achieve the frame rates we desire to shoot at
