Sony is going to officially announce the Alpha a7S III on July 28, 2020. This camera is probably as highly anticipated as the Canon EOS R5 and Canon EOS R6 were.
Not much is confirmed about this new Sony, but most of the specifications should leak over the coming week or so.
Sony Addict has reported that the camera will likely come with 4K/60P, 4:2:2, and RAW video. along with passive cooling, though the camera won't have the same level of weather sealing, as it reportedly has vents on either side of the camera. This design choice helps dissipate heat without the use of a fan, which does create noise.
It is also rumored to have a 12mp image sensor, which puts it well below even the Canon EOS R6.

I agree. The negative is always louder than the positive on the internet.
Apples to Apples the R5 and R6 are incredible offerings for video without compromising a thing for stills like these other cameras are. Everyone hated the outdated and heavy 5D4 codec (MP4), but it is detailed and easy on computers as it doesn't require transcoding. While the loss in quality of a lighter and more modern but still compressed codec may be minimal it still may be relevant to some.
An iphone or GoPro can shoot 4K60 for a long time compared to some of these 'limits' but is hardly comparable in quality to a full frame 45MP sensor with 15 stops of DR and big glass. Every time I see equivalent things compared properly, most of these brands are very close to one another in what they can get out of sensors, readout hardware, thermal dissipation, etc.
I think this is more video camera than stills camera, but it covers the bases I need and I already have the native lenses. I was considering a system swap this year until the R5/R6 limitations became clear it woudn't work for me. Really wanted my first RF lens this year, but my incoming Komodo doesn't support the RF protocol yet, so I guess I can wait a bit longer!
Probably, but from a personal opinion, I do feel MILC hybrids should have balanced specs. I don't need top end specs that burn through media cards, and by the time I want maximum bitrates or RAW, MILCs aren't really suited for the task at that point. YMMV
People that actually shoot a lot are those that will have something constructive to share mainly through personal experiences or knowledge. It will be clear quite soon who those are. Not saying they are always right in their opinions... But those that clearly don't or never planned to buy anything become quite evident after a handful of posts. Those people can simply be ignored and that goes to both Sony/Fuji/Panny/etc. and Canon shooters. Canon shooters shouldn't by default get a pass here on a Canon-focused discussion group if they purposefully stir the pot for those that shoot the competition. Maybe I'm just too sensitive... :p:p
The only flaw of Canon is the potencial overheating, but like i said before, we still need to see how big of a problem is! I don´t believe it will be much of a problem! At least not for me! And if or when the R5 overheat I will use the R6 cause I´ll get both! :D
Cause it will overheat!!! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
