Sony Addict reported some new Sony a7R VI camera rumored specifications:

• Sony’s A7R VI is set to be released before November 2026, right before the Alpha 7S series
• The Alpha 7R VI is currently undergoing testing on a small scale
• BIONZ XR2 processor with 8.5 stops of image stabilization
• 30fps 14-bit RAW continuous shooting
• RAW pre-capture
• 60fps AE/AF
• 16-frame high-resolution composite shooting
• Up to 32-frame noise-reduced composite shooting
• The grip has been redesigned to adopt the deeper handle found on the A1 II.
• The screen’s maximum brightness is 50% higher than the A1 II.
• The A7R VI uses a full-stacked sensor with 80M effective pixels
• It’s seen as a big step up from the A7 V, and it’s in a similar position to the A7R III and A7 III at the time
• No open gate, no RAW video, no 6K HEVC, it supports full-frame 10.9K oversampled 8K30p, APS-C 7.1K oversampled 4K60p, and full-frame 5.5K (pixel-binning) oversampled 4K120p video
• For stills, it can take 30 fps, but there’s a hard limit on the number of frames.
• The dynamic range is still better than the A7R V in mechanical shutter mode when using the electronic shutter, and it reaches 16+ stops when mechanical shutter is enabled.
• The number of pixels on the screen is higher than the A7 V, but the electronic shutter speed is slightly faster. However, the electronic shutter speed is still only a third of the A1 II.
• 67-megapixel partially stacked image sensor
• 60fps readout rate
• 10K/30p, 8K 60p, and 4K 120p video recording
• High-speed autofocus
