Excellent, look forward to see some user reviews. I've just been told stock expected 22/11 at the UK store I pre-ordered from and I'm in the first batch

Since people asked about the release:
Don’t know if you guys have seen this, but we are getting our A7RV cameras in Germany now. Some picked theirs up today. Shipping starts tomorrow. I’m living very rural so I expect mine to arrive monday or tuesday. But lots of people in germany will have their cameras in the next two days.

Quite a few of the reviewers remarked that Sony said there was an improvement, but Sony didn't give details. I wonder if it's better thermal properties brought to bear by using the a7S III's cooling technology....or maybe some reduced noise from better handling of the data coming off the sensor.

RAW comparison at high ISO with the A7RIV:

(you can turn On auto-translate )
There seems to be between 1/2-2/3 stop noise improvement in the A7RV RAWs.

Damn that's definitely a noticable difference. Pretty impressive. Damnit I can't afford to upgrade for a while as I am about to get a new car soon and need more $ 😂 I also really like that vertical tilt screen. Super useful for landscape shots. Kinda wish in the video he showed iso comparisons below 3200. I am usually at 100/320. We'll see I am sure we'll get more videos soon.
I don't really need to upgrade as I don't use my camera that much really and my images with the r4 are more than amazing 🙂

Please tell us what you think of IBIS improvements...
It is rainning cats and dogs here, so I took some pictures at home trying to familiriaze with Sony menu.
I was shooting with the 70-200 GM II at 200mm and 1/8 hand held and pics were perfectly sharp. At 1/4 it is very difficult for me to take pictures sharp. But, TBH, for me seems similar to the Z7 I already have. The IBIS in both of them is really good in my opinion.
I am also pending to receive a 35mm and 85 mm so will see how it works with them.

Did you update the lens firmware with the latest optimized for IBIS/OSS?

Thanks!
If it's at the level of Z7, I'd say that's an improvement as Sony was trailing behind C & N in regard to IBIS recently.
I'll try to check what I can achieve with A1+100-400@200mm.

A store had it for demo this afternoon. I tried it, and compared with a A1 that was also on display.
I didn't bring a SD card so I only checked the pictures on the EVF/display.
IBIS is what has impressed me the most,
The A7RV was mounted with the 24-70 GMII. The A1 with the 16-35 G PZ and a battery grip.
I took multiple similar shots at 35mm f/4 , at different shutter speeds, handheld. I was able to get sharp shots at up to 1sec with the A7RV, really incredible. I don't remember exactly what was the limit with the A1, but I think 1/15s was the slowest for me to get a sharp image.

Interesting - he seems to suggest that the improvements in IBIS don't have much effect beyond 200mm focal length. Wonder if that changes with the dual IS

According to the spec list for the A7RV on Sonycameranews the senor readout: Achieves approximately twice the high-speed readout compared to conventional models (* α7R IV ratio)
If true, it looks like there might be an improvement in that aspect. Looking back on some post in this forum I see the readout for the RIV could be 1/30s in compressed Raw + continuous. Hopefully, the improvement includes lossless Raw.

This is the feature that finally did me in. 8 stops from 5-5.5 stops is a huge improvement. Initial impressions I was not going to get it but now I pre-ordered. The better EVF, AF, Rear Screen, Focus bracketing, better video etc... are nice to have but the IBIS was the one feature that sold me. Especially since I just picked up the 20-40mm, for me 2.8 is slow so this should help with that. Also it appears the processor makes cleaner ISO on the V vs the IV even though the same sensor. Many benefits to the better processors. Hopefully they ship on the 6th like the website says
), so maybe the difference is more visible on shorter focal lengths...
