Sony Announce A7R6 mirrorless camera
13th May 2026
Just announced, the Sony A7R6 promises, according to Sony, to be the 'resolution' camera and the 'speed' camera all-in-one.
Well, on paper it could be; 67mp resolution on a full frame sensor is getting near to medium format territory.
30 fps using a fully stacked sensor is, on paper, quick, at the same level as the Sony A1 Mark 2.
However, checkout the readout speed - it is approx 19.8 ms, which is not that far off my old Sony A74 and is 5 times slower than my A1 Mark 2.
Add to this a new battery, meaning all those batteries and chargers I have will be of no use to me and this is not a camera for birds in flight or insects in flight.
