Sony Unleashes 66.8MP Camera That Sees More Than Your Ex’s Texts
KEY POINTS
- •Sony released the A7R VI, their flagship high-res camera boasting 66.8 megapixels and a new sensor.
- •It improves on the A7R V with a Bionz XR2 processor enabling faster shooting and 8K video capability.
- •Antonio G. Di Benedetto provided the iconic water-droplet-covered photo featured in The Verge’s review.
Sony’s new A7R VI camera stars as the 66.8-megapixel Frankenstein of photography, with a modest resolution boost over last year's A7R V (because who needs a full leap when you can crawl?). Sporting a new sensor and the Bionz XR2 processor, it bravely dares to shoot everything from sports action to 8K video—because apparently high resolution can't be bothered with patience or silence anymore. Once a slow, noisy niche beast, this fully stacked marvel now promises to snap at lightning speed, proving that Sony really believes bigger pixels mean bigger problems solved. All photos brilliantly demonstrated by Antonio G. Di Benedetto, who somehow managed to get those sparkling water droplets on the lens during the shoot. Read The Verge’s review to dive into pixel-packed wizardry that still requires your wallet’s blessing.
