Sony is sending a sale price and invites for the December 2 event, and obviously, this is nothing else than the Sony A7 Mark V camera announcement. In this article, we are not only going to discuss the announcement, but we are also going to discuss the internal core specifications of the camera and how it was distributed among the reviewers, specifically in the Asian region, in the beginning of 2025. But due to some sort of issues, it has been intentionally delayed. We are going to discuss all these facts and fictions that we know so far in this article, so let’s dive deep to know everything related to the Sony A7 V camera arrival.
The Invitation Breakdown: What We Know So Far
Now the official teaser is out for now, the official second December invite was initially spotted by all of the most reliable websites, SonyAlphaRumors, but obviously the invite was not limited to a specific person. The recent set of scoop is coming from Vietnam, where the local influencer and content creator actually received a very personalized invitation for the event, and while looking at his personalized invitation, he clearly stated that.
“It looks like Sony will be announcing something. Probably the A7V on December 2nd. This invitation has been sent to influencers and content creators in Vietnam. The time shown in the image is in Vietnam time, so please convert it to your local time.”
The event is slated for 10:30 PM Vietnam time (ICT), which translates to 8:30 PM Japan Standard Time (JST)—accounting for the two-hour difference.
But even after so many confirmed sets of rumours, we still have to wait for the final set of confirmation and teaser from Sony itself. Before we get any teaser, we don’t have to trust hundred percent on the December 2 arrival date.
Now, before we discuss anything, we have to be very clear that the Sony Alpha Rumors website has shared the leaked image of the Sony Alpha A7 Mark V camera, where we can clearly see a 33-megapixel resolution-based sensor visible in the display screen of the camera.
So up to a point, it was very clear that the camera is coming again with a 33-megapixel BSI sensor without any major change.
Sony A7V Information from Jack Ma.
According to one of the most trusted tipsters, Jack. Ma of Chinese social media, take a look at what he said about the upcoming Sony A7V camera
Just now, domestic channels reported to Mr. Ma that the test units of Sony’s new A7M5 camera were actually distributed to some photographers in China as early as 10 months ago. The testing period has been astonishingly long—almost a full year. This information aligns with Mr. Ma’s reliable sources, which indicated that the test units were handed out at the beginning of 2025. At that time, feedback already mentioned a 33-megapixel image sensor and that video recording still involved cropping.
Everyone initially thought that it was just one of the prototype versions and not the final product. However, according to overseas reports, it now appears that the test unit back then was already the final version.
This raises the intriguing question: What exactly has been tested over the course of an entire year?
So it’s really interesting to see that after strong feedback and such a long gap, did Soni make any change in the internal core specification of the camera, or will it carry forward the same 33 megapixel full frame Seema sensor that we have already seen inside the Sony A7 IV camera?
Why the A7V Feels Like a Lock
Just after the announcement of the Nikon Z6 Mark III camera (17 Jun 2024 ), people started talking about the arrival of the Sony A75, and yes, we kept waiting for the camera. After that, we have the ZR announcement, and recently, the Canon R6 Mark III camera has also been announced, so overall, the midrange mirrorless camera lineup, a really very strong set of course specifications to offer to their users at a reasonable price tag. So now it is really very much interesting for us to see what is coming inside the Sony A7 five camera and if it is coming with the same 33MP variant that we have already seen in the Soni A7 Mark for camera, then for sure, users will be disappointed.
Drawing from the latest intel we’ve covered:
- Sensor and AI Upgrades: Expect a 33MP BSI CMOS sensor (confirmed via hands-on leaks in our September analysis), paired with a dedicated AI processing unit for smarter subject detection and real-time tracking.
- Performance Boosts: Electronic continuous shooting range of 15 – 20fps burst shooting, IBIS system promising up to 8.5 stops of stabilization.
- Pricing and Availability: Early estimates peg the body-only at around $2,500–$2,800, with shipments possibly slipping into Q1 2026 despite the December unveil. Our dedicated price guide breaks down how it stacks up against the A7 IV and competitors like the Canon R6 III.
Yes, it all started with her registration document (like the WW084220 certification in China) that surfaced a while ago of the Sony A7 V camera. After that, we do receive tracking insights from Insider Like our October “Be Alpha” event coverage. After that, mid-November announcement window we flagged in that update has now shifted to early December 02, classic Sony timing to close out the year with a bang.
What Could Sony Throw In as Surprises?
Beyond the A7V, we don’t yet know the exact core specifications of the upcoming camera, and yes, we are waiting. However, the best part is we already have leaked images of the camera, which also include hands-on images we’ve dissected here already.
