Re "what will these numbers look like in the month that the A7V or A7CIII are released?" - I don't know, but I wonder what new features these next generation bodies would bring to make one part with a few thousand dollars?
The technology has peaked in many ways; thus I cannot think of anything except possibly slightly better AF. Sony excells in making the electronics (and lenses). I wish they invested as heavily in camera software development to add more interesting and useful computational photography features. Also new generation cameras designed for the enthusiast photographer of tomorrow can probably be more "futuristic", more appealing to the younger people.
Basically my concern is that A7V or A7CIII are going to be as exciting as A1 II when compared to A1....Show more →
The list of things to improve is infinite (especially at the rate Sony is serving them) :
EVF, LCD, IBIS, AF, FPS, DR/Noise, WB, resolution, read-out speed, flash-synch, battery, body, buttons, dials, grip, eye-cup, weather sealing, usb, lan, hdmi, wifi, bt, gps, codecs, luts/simulations, overlays, hdr, ...
But these are mostly minor tech improvements, I think the main course will be set by major drivers such as automation and, as you already noted, computation.
Funnily enough, Sony kickastarted the AI stuff in AF (and touts it as the major upgrade in A1 II), but was overtaken by Canon recently...
