Sony a7 IV Announcement Postponed to the end of October

Earlier rumors said the highly anticipated Sony a7 IV would be announced in September with a release date in October 2021. But now, it seems that the Sony a7 IV announcement will be delayed further: from mid September to the end of October 2021.

Currently, the supply of cameras and lenses from many manufacturers, including Sony, is stagnant due to the worldwide chip production shortage, so it’s no wonder that the release of the Sony a7 IV will be delayed.

Speaking of the specifications, the Sony a7 IV is rumored to be equipped with a 30MP Full-frame BSI CMOS image sensor (stepping up from the Sony a7 III‘s 24MP), 5-axis IBIS, 4K 60p video recording as well as a $2499 price tag and more.
