We’re reaching peak camera with the Sony A7R VI - The Verge
The Sony A7R VI is a new flagship high-resolution camera featuring a 66.8-megapixel sensor and advanced processing capabilities. It offers significant improvements in speed, autofocus, and video performance, marking a shift where high-resolution cameras are no longer limited by slow performance.
Why it matters
This represents a technological milestone in professional photography equipment, balancing extreme detail with high-speed performance.

In addition to its modest bump in resolution from the last-gen A7R V, it uses a new sensor and processor that unlock nearly any kind of shooting — from sports and action to usable 8K video. It’s a huge departure from years ago, when high-resolution cameras were slower, noisier, and more specialized as a result of all those megapixels.
