α7RVI readout in 14 bit RAW — 19.5 ms
α1 & α1ai readout in 14 bit RAW — 3.9 ms
...so it's not even close = it's not A1 killer it's snowflake ❄️ edition of it. Hence the Snowflake on the mode dial.
Alex was in here trolling hard saying it would be 6-10 ms. What a scammer that dude is…that’s like someone promoting a new Sports Car that can do 300mph, when in fact it cannot go over 150mph.
This camera really makes me vehemently angry as a α7RIVA operator. They sold out for the snowflakes (hence the mode dial) and gave the peasants a measly 9.84% increase in pixels after a 7 year wait…. Now they will not go above 67 MP until 2032.
The illuminated buttons are a ridiculous joke. You mean to tell me I haven’t developed full muscle memory in over 6,000 miles backpacking across America with both α1 & α7RIVA on 16-35GMII / 50GM 1.2 / 135GM? Because that is my EDC setup and I’m Rebel & I am one of the most accomplished backpackers in American history.
Someone explain to me how I would benefit? I have so much experience in different situations over a long period of time with these cameras & also I always have a rubber protective housing around both bodies 24/7 to further protect it from abrasions and bumps. Plus all the buttons are covered up in rubber on both my cameras, so there would be no way illuminated buttons would work on my setup.
I eat 14,000 footers in Colorado for breakfast & Trainhop coast to coast shooting 8K like a wrecking ball stacking wood that the peasants aren’t prepared to lay witness to…
Absolutely insane marketing brainwashing by the major players and these people who sold their α1 & α1ai bodies in anticipation of this because of the rumored “α1ai killer” specs…. The people who are replacing their stacked 50MP cameras with this partially stacked 20% readout speed joke of a camera are super low IQ. They definitely took multiple COVID vaccines, and they should be avoided at all costs because of the shedding…
That 100-400GM having a silver badge on it, while not made in Japan is the icing on the cake for how disastrous today was. As someone who has invested over $30,000 in your camera division, today was the second worst day for Sony, after the debacle that was the α1ai announcement.
The great thing about this entire situation is that now we are closer to the real α1ii release and possibly a α7CRii that isn’t inherently crippled with a flappy screen…
Great things are coming!!! When that Sony guy during the presentation said that the 100-400 f/4.5 was “World Cup Glass” I literally fell over dying of laughter…you’re telling someone who owns the α1 & 400GM f/2.8 that a camera with 5 times slower readout speed combined with only 50% the calculation speed of my α1 when paired with a f/4.5 lens that needs to be shot at 1/1600-1/2500s shutter speed under nighttime stadium lights is going to compete against the Canon Professional two person setup of R3 or R1 on 100-300 f/2.8 RF & 400 f/2.8 RF?
The Corporate brainwashing is getting out of control, the hype machine of these shill YouTubers and social media influencers is such a detriment to our world and society.
I’m going to fly 6,000 miles tomorrow and absolutely wreck Salt Lake City and shoot up the Tabernacle & climb the mountains and leave no doubters…that the “Alpha Rebel” is in town and you best get out of way and let me cook.
