Sony just registered a brand new camera, and the evidence is pointing directly toward the long-awaited Sony A7S IV. With a potential December announcement on the horizon, we are breaking down everything we know about this new professional body and how it fits into the current lineup. 📸

In this discussion, we analyze the impact of the newly registered WiFi 6 component and why this signals a high-end full-frame release. With the FX5 facing shipping delays and a higher price tag, the A7S IV could be the perfect alternative for content creators who need professional video features without the cinema camera price jump. We explore the possibility of this camera featuring the same sensor as the FX5 and what that means for image quality and low-light performance. 🎥

A major talking point is the inclusion of Open Gate. We discuss why Open Gate has become a non-negotiable feature for modern filmmakers who need to deliver both horizontal and vertical content simultaneously. We also dive into the potential differences in firmware, RAW capabilities, and why Sony might withhold certain features to keep the cinema line distinct. Whether you are an FX3 owner looking for an upgrade or a hybrid shooter waiting for the next big thing, this breakdown covers the specs, the pricing rumors, and the release strategy you need to know. 🚀
