Sounds like a good replacement for all us with a paper weight labeled as a production camera.

If the A7s supported higher output bit rates on HDMI, sure. Since it's limited to 8 bit and is probably using at best 4:2:2 (most likely 4:2:0) chroma subsampling, it's not really in the same league as far as image quality.

Sigh. Crippled to avoid cannibalizing sales of the F5 and F55, clearly.

It's also incentive for people to look harder at the likes of the Cion and Ursa, though.
