Agree they really should give us the R2 in a 24 MPX package. At around 1900. I would buy it as my backup cam for sure and really my PR cam as I certainly don't need 42mpx here.

If there is another A7s (3?)and if it is 4K, it will still have a 12mp sensor.It seems we have to wait another six months for the 16MP BSI sIII ... :grin:
Sony is video centered in so many of their choices with all these cameras and the native lenses. I just wish they would focus on making one model with the still features and performance as priority 1. Some major housekeeping would help, like making more critical features mapable. e.g. EVF/LCD toggle on body. IBIS on/off.I'm a stills photographer. Can't see a reason to upgrade.

Correct. If the main purpose is to shoot 4K, increasing to 16mp is only a disadvantage; smaller pixels and the need to crop the sensor.If there is another A7s (3?)and if it is 4K, it will still have a 12mp sensor.
Bob, I think you nailed it.Overheating.
4:2:0 Color Space internally.
Waveforms Vectorscope variable position focus and a more robust codec will keep the Atomos and CD Odyssey in play for serious video.

Chuck,I'm crossing my fingers that Sony has been able to keep the new camera cool enough to go for half an hour at a time, and if they have I will be looking to get one.
