A Sony RX1R III may just be wishful thinking, but I hope Sony updates at least one of its compact cameras in 2025 ...
or if you want the AI autofocus and full-frame sensor in a newer model, check out the Sony A7C II which is a similar price to the A7 IV.
And even the Sony A7C II is one of the brand’s more affordable ... while the ones that don’t adopt an old-school style tend to fall in the more compact, travel-friendly category.
