I spoke too soon. Adorama has placed my order "In Progress - we're preparing your order for shipment" We might have been correct after all :)

It was posted as 4/16 in many places. I thought the same.. This date might just be for the Japanese market, as I see many Japanese reviews and videos going up today.

B&H has it listed "Expected availability: End of Apr 2021". Other sites no date provided. I haven't received any news on my preorder :( Was hoping to get it this weekend.

I've been waiting for Sigma to post the fp L manual pdf to look through some of the fine details. I noticed today it was on the website. If anyone else is interested check it out here.

Here's the mechanical shutter assembly and the IBIS+sensor out of the Sony a7 series cameras. And then compare it to the sensor of the Sigma fp: I don't know how you could fit either one into the ...

The heat is not generated from the IBIS, but rather the sensor is not "locked" securely to a heat sink the way it would be in a camera without, as it is free floating. This allows a heat ...

You want it to be bigger and more expensive (unless you're saying they should include it all for free) to accommodate these features? Sounds like the same thing we have already. But where do I get ...

I don't think they are late as they have only ever said it was coming in 2021. I expected it wouldn't be early 2021, as they usually narrow it down a little more. People were saying the firmware ...

Of course they are. Sony continue to create new M43 sensors. While cameras are still being created, they have customers for their sensors.

I think what is meant is a m43 sensor derived from the A1 sensor, placing it near 12.5MP, could be made with the same readout speeds, but at a much cheaper price, generate less heat, and consume...

You might want to mention there are a variety of grips available to your Dpreview TV team. They seem to not know about this.

They could make it bigger, and add everything you've mentioned, and charge more, but then we have two similar cameras at similar prices, similar size and weight, but Sony would no doubt, with their...

I'm not sure how reputation is a specification, but the point is it's as stripped down as possible to come at that lower cost and size. You get it whether you need it all or not in the Sony. The...

Hard to hold onto? It's almost like they should create a grip or two that attach to the camera that let you decide how to accommodate your desired setup.

If you didn't have any camera or invested in certain lens mount the Sony would be the better camera as it is far more versatile. However, if you are in the L mount already, and like it, it makes a ...

They will find a way to work around it. Electronic shutter does have some downsides, but most of the time it's fine. I use it in nearly every camera I have. With the pretty shallow buffer, and...

This will be cheaper used too if you give it a couple months. Really should compare the initial price, as that's what was intended by the company.
I have plenty of formats too, but if I'm going...

It's 37% the size, and 64% the weight of an A7R IV. It is also $1,000 cheaper than the MSRP of the A7R IV. It's not that hard to find the point. Those are important to some people.

It very well could, but I think the pins point to pulling power off the body. I'm still not sure if it's using the HDMI feed or the USB, but I assume it will need to downconvert the 4K image to ...

The price is right about where I was hoping. Any lower and I'd be worried about compromises. Sigma has more reasonable prices than the other brands, and without any changes to the body (that I can ...
