At $5K, a7rvi is a pass for my personally. Big win for the BIF guys, but tbh Sony bodies met all of my needs with the a7rIII. Resolution bump with a7rIV/a7cr was a welcome upgrade. But I haven't personally felt like the benefits of the MKV and now MKVI bodies offer anything compelling that would really elevate the way I shoot.
If it has the stackable sensor, then I doubt that the noise will be better, more likely worse.
I wonder if a lot of people will be buying the a7rV after the announcements. It's on sale for $3300 and would be a much better value for IQ.

Interesting and a step backwards if true.
As an "R" series body, really feel that Sony needs to bring something to table from an IMAGE QUALITY perspective. RGB sensor? 16 bit raws? Hell give us a 100mp sensor. Feel like they've lost the plot here in a lot of ways.
Yeah my exact feelings. They already established that the A1 and to a lesser extent the standard A7 series are the high speed/hybrid models. The A7R series has always been an image quality above all else line meant for studio and landscape. Not every camera needs to be a high speed hybrid/video camera but I guess all the YouTubers crying about too much rolling shutter in video on the A7RV won out.
I agree that Sony needs a camera to compete with the Canon R5mk2 and Nikon Z8/Z9 but it would have been better to simply drop the price of the A1II to compete rather than ruin what made the A7R line special.
This camera seems awesome don’t get me wrong but I really wanted the A7RVI to have a larger version of the 40mp sensor in all the newer Fujis i.e. a 94+mp BSI sensor which could then more directly compete with the likes of the Fuji GFX and Hasselblad 100mp cameras.
Yep. We should be moving towards MF image quality from a FF sensor with the R series IMO. Problem is that moving data from an RGB sensor, at 16 bit depth, and an even higher resolution sensor is going to bottleneck the data pipeline. If such a body were to exist, it would inevitbly be slower than they are proposing with the a7rvi, but fits the original purpose of the R series.
