Yeah I fit into the “skipped the A7RIII” category myself. For now I’ll just wait until the camera is out and I can get a hands-on with one.Better EVF is good. Would have liked to see focus bracketing, multiple exposures and lossless compressed RAW.
Probably most attractive for the owners of a7rII who skipped the upgrade to a7rIII.
I understand where you're coming from but I think you'll have to wait for the A9ii. That probably has most of the goodies you're looking for, maybe a 42 MP sensor and hopefully for you a bigger body, allthough I wouldn't bet on the latter.I may be in the minority but I’m pretty underwhelmed by this camera.
You may be right. I think he crux of it is that the A7RIII is already a great camera. Outside of resolution and a handful of improvements to the hardware I don’t really see the point of this camera right now really.I understand where you're coming from but I think you'll have to wait for the A9ii.

For me I already determined 24 MP is all I need for the moment, so I also don't think I'll be getting one soon.
September.When will this camera actually be shipping?
I doubt it’s the death of APS-C... there’s a big difference in the $1500 vs. $3500 market. Resolution aside there’s still a difference between MFD and 35mm based system. What it MAY do is cut into a segment that wants the resolution but may not have the MFD budget but they still give a different look.Pretty excited about that camera. Especially when shooting APSC you still get 26MP.
For me this is the death of all dedicated APSC cameras (looking at you Fuji).
For me that is also the death of MFD - why bother with that size when one can have MFD resolution and qualities in a FF system.
Still waiting for that rumoured Niko Z8 that should have around 60MP - maybe based on this sensor.
Looking a bit closer I can see the new body is a bit wider and the extra room goes inbetween the grip and the mount. The grip is also shaped differently giving your fingers more extra room than just the extra few mm the body got wider. Don't know if this is enough for your liking, but it's a start :salute:I’ll reserved final judgement for actual hands-on time but I’m really not excited at all about this camera to be 100% honest.

It's a good start for sure, but I reckon you still may require the battery grip or the grip extender.Looking a bit closer I can see the new body is a bit wider and the extra room goes inbetween the grip and the mount.

The battery grip would be no problem - I would have it muted to that body more than 50% of the time. Actually this new battery grip design is a really smart move from Sony taking lot of arguments out the you compare this combination to the EM1X handling wise.It's a good start for sure, but I reckon you still may require the battery grip or the grip extender.
According to my rudimentary photogrammetrical analysis below, Sony has smashed its previous grip-depth record with the A7RIV: 23.6 mm!I believe this does have a deeper grip so that too would be an advantage for people with big hands. Me, the smaller the better, especially if I am going to pop a big lens on it.
