This girl just imagined that you can do for the price of A7RIII

Motherboard
As usual for japan companies, connectors are soldered to main MB, and in this case construction make it even more probable to see damage.
It's almost like Sony looked at Canon's upgrades and thought "Hey, we could do something like that too." Several of those updates (e.g. slog3/hlg) seem like they'd be possible on the a7r ii with a firmware update.
Not very encouraging... Can't imagine they're going to put higher 4K frame rates and 10-bit in the a7sii if they've basically kept the video features the same in this one.
Useful about HLG
I'm optimistic if there is an upcoming A7S mk3 that will use this tech, in addition to being closer to the GH5 in resolution/framerates. If that happens, Sony would be in a very nice spot. Especially because of superior (PD)AF (main issue with GH5 for me).
Boooooooooring
Looks like Panasonic GH5 remains as king! Ruling over the land of hybrid filmmaking.
"Use of the larger NP-FZ100 battery increases the battery life by 2.2x, meaning a CIPA rating of 650 shots per charge when using the rear LCD or 530 shots per charge with the EVF. "
A "new" battery (same as in the a9)
"A faster 'Bionz X' processor, along with the front-end LSI processor featured in recent Sony models, allows the camera to process more data, faster. "
Might mean less overheating? But my money is on the a7Rmk3 still having some overheating.
