I think Sony should focus on producing their new EF mount lenses since so few options there rather than a new body. Wrong strategy. in fact Sony ruined A7 and A7r's product life cycles.
As good as ISO 400k looks on paper, I'm doubting the sensor here is any better on noise than the Canon and Nikon's FF flagships, meaning their ISO 102k will be like our ISO 25k, and their 400k will be two stops worse (or at least 4 stops beyond being even marginally usable).
I'll wait for Micro 4/3s to reach that haha!

They should reduce megapixels to something like 8mp and it might be possible.
I disagree. The A7, A7R, and A7S are well-differentiated and each built with a different purpose in mind. We have the A7R as our landscape/studio resolution monster, the A7S as our low-light king and videographer's dream, and the A7 as our entry level all-rounder. They're all complimentary. If they continue to be aggressive in filling out their lens roadmap over the next few years, I could Sony converting a lot of photographers.

But what about all the Sony alpha and Nex cameras? There just seems to be too many options, with a lot of overlap. Sony has had a long time to convert photographers since it bought out Minolta, but the numbers haven't gone in their favour, when you consider Nikon/Canon.
The 5MP E-1 did take some mighty good photographs (so did the Nikon D2H at4MP) and can achieve some impressively large prints. If current technology was applied to a m4/3 5MP sensor, there's no saying what it could achieve.
I like the Sony 'A7' system, but it's whether they can remain consistent or do what they have done with their other camera systems. Can they keep running three separate systems?
Wouldn't it be interesting if Sony only had two systems, FF aka the A7 system and say m4/3 (given they have some arrangements with Olympus)?

From what I understand, Sony is now calling everything Alpha and still have the traditional DSLR bodies (with mirror), the Nex bodies and now the A7 bodies (without mirror). Three systems, three different lens mounts. Which will become their bread and butter?
