Sony A7S IV

16 May 2026 · Camera Review

Fourteen stops of dynamic range from a resolution-first body is not what anyone expected from the A7R VI. CineD's testing puts it at the top of every camera they've measured, and the caveat matters. That number only lands with dual gain switched on. But the fact Sony's sensor architecture can produce it at all tells you something important: the A7S IV, built from the ground up for low-light and dynamic range, should be genuinely extraordinary. If you shoot hybrid, events, or anything where latitude in the grade buys you time with a difficult client, this camera just became harder to dismiss as a stills-only tool.

Per L-Rumors, the Lumix S9 II is 99% confirmed for early 2027, with the site's sources also pointing to additional Panasonic body announcements around the same time. A global DRAM shortage is cited as the reason for the delay, with the Nikon Z70 and Sony A7S IV also reportedly pushed into early 2027 for the same reason.
