Re: Official: Sony A7R V announced (pre-order tomorrow)
All of those reasons are why the RV seems like a total non starter. The price is too close to falling A1 prices. Maybe at EDU prices, though…

Not for me, for sure!
Compared to an A1, it's leaps and bounds ahead the RV. Couldn't imagine hearing a mechanical shutter again, couldn't stand rolling shutter again, couldn't go back again to mechanical shutter strobe sync at studio or on location. And now I am so used to the A1 that I could never go back to anything without at least 30 fps. I seriously doubt the RV performs 120 af calculations per second to earn the Best AF in the world prize. And the A1 proverbial sticky AF faded so quickly? Don't think so.
I'm also not going to buy an A1 II when released. My A1 will last at least 5 years more. Tired about 3 years lifespan and giving my money to Sony for camera bodies that depreciate at automobile's rates. So, no thanks. No new camera will make me a better photographer. I will buy lenses instead
But yes, 8-stop IBIS and new tilt-style lcd are attractive features, but not sufficient to sell my oldish and slowish A7 RIII which in my experience has the best DR, cleanest high ISO and highest IQ in the complete Sony ecosystem (better than A1 also). But this is my opinion forged by very demanding post processing techniques applied in low light photography.
