- The screen should remain the same but become a touch screen
- The EVF might feature the same magnification size as the a7R II‘s (0.78x) but without the T* coating.
- The AF system should be about the same as the a7R II or with the new 4D system
- The battery life remains a big question.
- The Sensor resolution might be the same but with better ISO performance and maybe a back-illuminated structure
