Sony a7R VI Rumors: The “a1 II Killer” Arriving May 13

The photography community is buzzing following a major leak from SonyAlphaRumors, suggesting that the upcoming Sony a7R VI is set to redefine the landscape of high-resolution cameras.

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.
