Sony FX3 II Rumors: Is a Major Upgrade Looming?

The filmmaking community is buzzing following reports from the NAB Show, where Sony representatives allegedly hinted that a successor to the popular Sony FX3 may be on the horizon. While Sony has not officially confirmed a release date, the latest chatter suggests that potential buyers might want to hold off on new purchases.

The NAB “Hint”

According to a report from SonyAlphaRumors, a visitor at the NAB show asked a Sony representative whether they should buy an FX3 now or wait. The representative reportedly suggested that if rolling shutter is a primary concern, waiting for a future update would be wise. This implies a significant sensor upgrade—likely a stacked or partially stacked sensor—is in development for the Sony FX3 II.

Potential Specs and Timeline

Speculation regarding the new sensor points toward a 16MP or 18MP partially stacked design. While some enthusiasts hoped for the 24MP Global Shutter sensor found in the Sony A9 III, insiders believe Sony will stick to a lower-resolution, high-speed readout sensor to maximize dynamic range and low-light performance.

As for the timeline, an announcement within the next 60 days seems unlikely. Instead, industry analysts are eyeing the IBC Show in September 2026 as a more realistic launch window for the Cinema Line update.

Industry Skepticism

Not everyone is convinced. Critics note that the current FX3 already boasts an impressive 4ms readout speed, making rolling shutter a non-issue for most professional workflows. Furthermore, veteran trade show attendees warn that floor reps often make educated guesses rather than disclosing “Top Secret” R&D.

Whether the FX3 II arrives this autumn or later, the rumor alone is enough to make current creators pause before hitting “buy.”

Sony a7R VI Rumored for May Launch with 67MP Sensor

SonyAlphaRumors says three sources they trust are aligned on a Sony A7R VI: roughly 67 MP, a new body, and shipping in May. Announcement timing is fuzzy—could be April, could be closer to launch. None of this is official; Sony hasn’t said a word.

The site is also chasing two more bodies that might land soon after the A7R VI. No names or dates on those yet.

There’s a second layer: a full spec sheet from someone they don’t vouch for. SAR pasted it with a big “could be wrong” warning. I’m listing it below as rumored / unconfirmed—not as facts.


Rumored spec list (unverified source, per SonyAlphaRumors)

  • BIONZ XR2 + high-bandwidth LSI
  • ~67 MP Exmor RS stacked CMOS (fully stacked, not “partially stacked”)
  • IBIS up to ~8.5 stops (center)
  • 30 fps, 14-bit RAW, electronic shutter continuous
  • 67 MP, 60 fps readout in 14-bit e-shutter with AE/AF
  • “Pro” AI AF (claimed big accuracy jump)
  • ~16-stop dynamic range, mechanical shutter, DCG-HDR
  • 10K oversampling → 8K30p full frame
  • 6.4K oversampling → 4K30p / 4K60p Super 35
  • 6.4K oversampling → 4K120p Super 35 with “4K angle of view priority” on
  • Dual 5K oversampling → 4K30p / 4K60p full frame
  • Dual 5K oversampling → 4K120p full frame with angle-of-view priority on
  • Wi-Fi: 6 GHz / 5 GHz / 2.4 GHz
  • Import custom looks from Creators’ App
  • 9.44M-dot OLED EVF, grayscale correction, high brightness

The only part SAR ties to all three sources is the May window, ~67 MP, and new industrial design. The list above is gossip until press shots and a spec sheet show up.

Same blog has floated 16–28mm f/2 GM and 100–400mm f/4 GM in the same rough timeframe—again, rumors.

If you’re buying or upgrading off this, don’t. If you’re curious, bookmark it and check back when Sony posts the real thing.
