Leaked Sony A7R V Photo Shows A Very Different Top Button Design To Sony S Other Mirrorless Cameras

The Sony A7R V talk has been hotting up a bit lately. It’s not surprising given that an announcement for Sony’s new high-resolution camera is expected to come in a little over two weeks on October 26th before an official Sony Creative Space event begins in New York on the 27th and 28th. Already, though, we might have our first glimpse at what the camera looks like. Maybe. I’m not convinced it’s legit....

Juno orbits in an extremely wide arc, resulting in a brief fly-by of the gas giant every couple of months....
