Some first early impressions:
- Despite the small linear pixel increase over my A7RV, the images show noticeably more detail in subjects and I’m very pleased with what I’m seeing in the files.
- There is an obvious and inaccurate color cast to my LCD monitor on playback compared to the EVF, I’ll need to get into the menu and see if I can tweak the monitor color.
- Sony bodys without a grip plate attached are too small for me, my pinky has nowhere to go. I’ll be glad when Smallrig has their baseplate available. I’m also going to try the Sony vertical grip.
- I’m happy to have the illumination button as I’ve had on a few Nikons. The setting allowing 3 different levels of brightness is a nice touch. Those who don’t want this can have an extra customized button.
- Battery life so far (and from reports) seems excellent. A few hours at the zoo along with reviewing and pixel peeping used only 11%.
Below is a final cropped & processed image (about 20% of the linear width cropped out), then 100% pixel view. I don’t know how these uploads will translate in this post but viewing on my MPB the files are extremely detailed, sharp, and satisfying.
Do you have the SmallRigs extended base plate for the a7rV? I'm wondering if it could fit the a7rVI even without battery access. Do you have any info on when or if they will make that base plate.
I'm hoping the light button can do something like ES<->MS.

I do have the Smallrig for the A7RV. The contours do not line up with the new A7R6 body and forcing it on looks like there is potential to mar the surface of the camera (I tried it), and of course no battery access, so not a solution for me.
Preorder is up at Smallrig for the new A7R6 Arca plates, est. ship date June 30:
