My guess only - the A7V points the way to part of what will improve in the A7RVI, namely a faster partially stacked sensor (but will not dethrone the speedy fully stacked sensor of A1II), and the similar Dual Conversion Gain High Dynamic Range. I think we will also see the newer body style of A1II/A9III which provides more space between fingers and lens and has the top left control cluster, and IBIS increasing by .5 stops. Same resolution EVF, but perhaps brighter or other visual improvement. Small resolution bump to 67mp apparently (previous rumors suggested 80mp but this was likely not in a partially stacked sensor). Likely some improved video specs for those who need that but not something I personally follow.
IMO the value proposition might not be there for some - I think we’ll see at least $4k announcement price, maybe as much as $4.5k, while brand new/warrantied A7RV’s are $2850 via our b&s board.
