This will be irrelevant to most, but the evf display doesn’t drop resolution when you manually focus. That’s one of my biggest pleasures about the A7R5- it’s huge and beautiful .9x magnification viewfinder with all 9mp when using manual focus lenses. On an f1.4 or f/1.0 lens, it’s a joy looking through the viewfinder.

Do we know if Sony drops resolution during focusing/shooting with their 3.7M EVF like they do with the 5M and 9M ones?
This is the case with the A7iv in AF-C mode.
Always in AF-C mode or only when taking continuous shots?
Always. As long as the shutter button is half-pressed. When you release it, the display quality improves again. It works the same way as the A7Rv or A1 and A1ii.
This is super weird. Because on A1 the res drops to about 5M I'd say. So, if you're on normal viewfinder quality, then you don't see the drop when focusing.
Why would it drop below on 3.7M EVF is beyond me...
I don't understand this statement.
In short, on A1 using normal viewfinder quality option means the resolution is around 5.7M (more or less AFAIR).
Using the high viewfinder quality option, enables the max resolution of the EVF -> 9.44M .
Now, when focusing on high setting, the res drops to more or less 5.7M, as it looks the same as normal viewfinder quality option. When focusing on normal setting, there is no res drop.
I hope it's clear enough for you now  .
And it's exactly the same with the 3.7MP EVF, except that there is no information for this viewfinder about its "normal" resolution, to which it drops in AF-C mode when the "high resolution" of 3.7 MP is set.
Yes, that's the part I don't understand.
50mpx stacked sensor is only good enough for 5.7M EVF feed.
33mpx non-stacked sensor is only good enough for 2.3(?)M EVF feed.
24mpx global shutter sensor is finally good enough for 9.44M EVF feed.
How did you get the idea that the EVF resolution has anything to do with the sensor resolution? Those are two completely different things. Which viewfinder is used is a marketing decision. Technically, the processor might play a role, but that's about it.

Rumors are being addressed on the German channel that the new A7V supposedly no longer properly supports third-party lenses. If that were true, it would be a massive own goal.
He's eagerly waiting for his copy. He should already have received it. He will of course veryify or falsify this rumour then. If anyone knows already, let us know. Surely crucial for a lot of people.

Assuming any of this is even true, that's not an "own goal" or even a Sony problem. They develop their cameras for their lenses. Third parties are responsible for making sure they are compatible. If not, they can issue firmware updates or barring that, just make a new lens.
If you want to ensure full compatibility, buy a Sony lens. Otherwise, you have to accept that new camera models with new technologies might simply not have full compatibility with your lens. Its the price your pay for saving money.

I see things differently than you, or rather, I agree with Wiesner in the video. Sony's advantage lies in its wide range of lenses, especially from third-party manufacturers. Competitors are now building equally good, if not better, camera bodies. But then it's good for Sony if their customers wouldn't have a problem with such a change in strategy. For me, a key reason for choosing the Sony system would disappear.
But I'd say let's wait and see. Right now, it's just rumors (where did they originate from?).
I think you are mistaken as is the guy on that video. This is no different than 3rd party software companies that have to keep up with the latest version of Windows and Apple Operating systems. Neither of those behemoths worry about their operating systems and 3rd party software compatibility. It,is up to those 3rd party companies to engage with those behemoths to ensure compatibility is maintained / remediated — and get involved (if they’re big enough, influence the development and) testing processes, and make the necessary code changes to their apps to maintain full compatibility with the new O/S
From my experience (anout 40 years in software / solution development) ) the 3rd Party Software Companies and the business enterprises that use their software — must pay expensive enterprise support to ensure that new O/S development consider those business enterprises’ software compatibility. I am sure that this is probably the case in the license agreements with the 3rd party lens manufacturers.
