Personally I don't want any of the suggested features/improvements and the rumors look boring as hell. Every single spec of the A7RV is already more than I need, more than most people need. Bumping everything by +20% doesn't help when everything is already past 100%. The only spec I want improved is the battery life.
I'm willing to open my wallet for is something new. Something radical. The modern MILCs inherited too much from a 35mm film SLR. Why are they shaped to accomodate a horizontal film transport mechanism? Why is there a faux mirror box? Why is an EVF in the middle? In that vein:
- New body+ergonomics from scratch.
- Square sensor. 3:2 is utter idiocy in the digital age.
- Dramatic simplification. Rethinking-from-scratch all of the UI.
- Pixel-level digital shutter with unlocked computational photography features.
- Smart manual focus assist. The focus-tirggers-shutter feature.
- Deep integration with the user's platform. Native AirDrop, FaceID locking, WiFi sharing, encryption.
