Sony favorite months to launch bodys in are April and October (yes I have done the statistic research to come to that conclusion).
SAR says they have sources saying that Sony won't, due to the chip shortage, launch any FF bodys in the first half of 2022, so then October is most likely. That would also let the A7RIVa have been on the market for 1 year and a quarter until it gets superseded.
As to specs, I guess forth generation body, mech shutter, no stacked sensor at about 80-100 Mpix.
Why not the 61 Mpix again? It looks like that was a custom job for Sonys camera division (it is not a generic offer on Sony sensor divisions homepage). And they (Sonys camera division) have licensed it to Sigma (fp L) and Leica (M11). I also guess we soon will seee a Leica Q3, SL3 and a Panasonic S1RII with it in them. And there are rumors about a Nikon Z7III with a 61 Mpix sensor which most likely is the same one once again.
So when those who don't have sensor development "in house" as Sony does (though at another division) re-uses Sonys 61 Mpix one, it is not likely Sony themselves will put it in a new body.
There are also rumors about a Canon R5S with 80-100 Mpix. They also make sensors in house and the race these days are between Canon and Sony. Will they do 100 Mpix on this generation or will they milk the market another round and do 80 before they do 100? After that, it will be hard to go higher on FF I guess.
So the summarize, Sony A7RV:
* Forth gen body with the new menus
* 80-100 Mpix BSI sensor, non stacked, so mech shutter at 10 fps
* Release in October 2022
* Price 500-1000 above the original A7RIV launch price which was 3500 USD

In my post from early February this year (quoted above) I predicted the following for the A7RV:
* Forth gen body with the new menus
* 80-100 Mpix BSI sensor, non stacked, so mech shutter at 10 fps
* Release in October 2022
* Price 500-1000 above the original A7RIV launch price which was 3500 USD
I missed on the sensor which also made that by reusing the old sensor the price landed a tiny bit on the underside of the price range I had predicted.
Body, shutter and fps was spot on and so was the release month. Not a too bad a guess in all I would say.
With the same A7RIV sensor I am not sure if I want to buy an A7RV to replace my A7RII though, need to think about it. Would you do it?

I would probably upgrade to it eventually bit later from the A7R4 as I am really satisfied with what I get out of it.
