I'm curious to see what the A7S iii will be.
A couple of rumored specs:
Redesigned 12MP image sensor with ?fast readout? 16bit RAW output
A claimed 15 stops of dynamic range (ie. from 16-bit RAW).
I personally found the 12mP 5D to be pretty adequate for most things.
And I would love the extra low light, low noise it might offer.
Pentax has said they are sticking with SLR and their nice optical viewfinder.
The K-1 has AstroTrace, and handheld HR mode. But likewise it is a
big camera. Intrigueing, but big. I have a soft spot for optical viewfinders.

Typical Sony. You would think the camera division could consult with
the ear bud department to get bluetooth done right. I don't have too
many issue with the Sonies, but it took a while to figure certain things
out. Such as after hitting ISO button, the back wheel will increment in
full stops, like the GX9 does naturally. I have not yet tried saving settings
onto SD card. But I also drive a stick shift. Flash usage is another
learning curve.
I thought lack of focus bracket to be a negative, but experimenting with
the GX9, I'm not so sure I really miss it. I have a hard time, close up,
holding the camera steady enough to get good focus bracketing.
Hence, I usually need to use the tripod. For which I can manually do the
bracketing with the sonie fairly well. The GX9 requires experimenting
to understand what the incrementing value does. I did find it
has a [0/+] mode so the shot sequence works better in Helicon Focus.
The Sony I can just crank the focus and watch the focus peaking. No
need to guess what a GX9 increment should be, based on aperture and
DOF.
Why can't Sony figure out how to display a histogram and the level
at the same time? Even Mark Galer has complained. Customizig the display
would be welcome.
