Sony has quietly released updated versions of the a7R III and a7R IV cameras. The model numbers are now named ILCE-7RM3A and ILCE-7RM4A (they have gained an A).

The updated models feature just two small updates:

The rear LCD has been changed from a 1.44 million dots model to one with 2.36 million dots and the logo underneath the LCD has been removed.
The definition of USB has been changed to “SuperSpeed USB 5Gbps (USB 3.2), it was previously USB 3.1

This means that the a7R III and a7R IV now have better LCD’s than Sony’s flagship A1 which features the older 1.44 million dot LCD. It is strange that Sony didn’t include the 2.36 million dot LCD in their A1 which only started shipping in March.

Sony also released an updated a7R III feature video:

About Timothy Mayo

I love shooting wildlife the most but will happily point my camera at pretty much anything. I started Alpha Shooters in 2017 to share my own photographic journey and experiences shooting with Sony Alpha. The site has since evolved into a popular community and resource. You can also find out more about my story here or follow me on Instagram if you wish. I also have a YouTube Channel but haven't published much content over the past year due to spending more time changing smelly nappies and also launching our community forums. However, I do plan to get back to creating content for YouTube in 2021!
