A Review of the Sony a7R V Mirrorless Camera for Photography

With the highest resolution available in a full frame camera, loads of dynamic range, and a host of other advanced features, the Sony a7R V might be the ultimate 35mm camera for photographers. This excellent video review takes a look at the new camera and the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in usage.

Coming to you from Gordon Laing, this great video review takes a look at the new Sony a7R V mirrorless camera. The a7R V uses the same 61-megapixel sensor from the a7R IV, but it comes with a range of new features and upgrades, including:

  • Faster and more accurate autofocus system
  • Improved subject recognition capabilities 
  • Newer menu system
  • Improved advanced image stabilization
  • Better viewfinder
  • Motion compensation in Pixel Shift mode for ultra-high-resolution images
  • Reduced resolution raw sizes for shooting 26- and 15-megapixel files downsampled from 61 megapixels to save storage and processing overhead

Altogether, the a7R V looks like a highly refined camera that should be able to tackle a wide range of photographic needs and scenarios with a combination of raw power and thoughtful convenience features. Check out the video above for Laing's full thoughts on the camera.
