Discoveries about the A7RVI

[AlphaWorld]

Collected my A7RVI this afternoon.

• Battery arrived with 11% charge - it’s charging now. Spare batteries are back ordered.
• The viewfinder eye cup appears to be an EP19 - the spare EP21 I ordered fits perfectly, but there isn’t one in the box.
• It appears to be true - the camera does NOT support RAW-M (full frame) or RAW-S (full frame or APS-C) - that’s a surprise, but I have never used them, so I don’t miss them
• Battery does appear to be charging quickly
• The strap attachment rings are unchanged - I’m replacing them with Peak Design “oval” rings, giving a better fit for PD anchors. If you want them, the cheapest option is to buy a pack of four PD anchors - they are about $20 and the oval rings are in the pack. I like the all-black anchors.

Further discoveries wait on the charging of the battery

Another observation: I bought a SmallRig plate for my A7RV to give my little finder a place to rest. Don't need that on the A7RVI - it's only a little taller, but it's enough.
