Sony A7 IV Is it worth upgrading from A7IV to A7V? (2025)

Hello everyone,
I haven't shared anything here for a long time. According to AlphaRumors, the A7V is said to be released in early 2025. According to two reliable sources, this has been leaked.

RUMOR: The new Sony A7V is expected to be launched in Q1 2025! – sonyalpharumors

I have been using the A7IV for about two years. I switched from the A7RIII and I am quite happy with it. I really liked the faster processor, focus, object tracking, CFExpress, controls and the new menu when I switched. Is it worth switching to the A7V for you? As far as I know, AI features will be added, the rear LCD screen will be like the A7RV. Maybe they will increase the shooting speed to 15FPS.
Frankly, I don't do any video work. I only shoot things like streets, landscapes, animals and portraits.

I don't know if I should start allocating a budget to switch to the A7V for an amateur user like me.
I wanted to get your opinion.

Probably not IMO. You may get a slightly better AF system, but don't expect more resolution or anything remotely useful or groundbreaking.

Why not? If the A7v comes out and the feature set doesn't look like it will be worth the upgrade you don't have to spend the money or you could spend it on a lens or a trip somewhere or something not camera related at all.
