Hands on: Sony A7R V review

A full-frame beast with added polish and autofocus skills

Sophisticated new AI autofocus ; Versatile 4-axis touchscreen ; Improved in-body stabilization ; Class-leading EVF

No 4K/120p mode ; CFexpress Type A cards are pricey

The Sony A7R V brings some welcome polish and usability improvements to the 'Resolution' series, then tops it off with highly sophisticated autofocus tracking skills. With 8K video also on board, the camera is built for hybrid shooters as much as for...

Sony A7R V initial review: Hands on with the new autofocus champion

How do you improve on an already stellar camera? By making it even smarter, according to Sony. We got our hands on the latest A7R briefly.

Really smart and fast autofocus ; High-resolution sensor ; Shoots up to 8K videos ; 5-axis stabilisation ; USB-C Power Delivery charging

It's not cheap ; You'll need CFExpress Type A to get the most out of it ; 8K is cropped

Sony's latest 'R' series camera cranks things up a notch, adding impossibly smart autofocusing and tracking capabilities to a camera that was already very good. We suspect it'll become the camera of choice for experienced photographers who do a lot of...

Sony Alpha 7R V review: Is this the king of full-frame still cameras?

It might be expensive, but the Sony Alpha 7R V full-frame mirrorless camera is probably as good as it gets today.

Superb high-resolution still images ; Great handling ; Logical button layout and menu interface ; Quick and smart auto-focusing ; Swift operation

Expensive ; Less than average battery life ; Pixel Shift mode does not offer enough value for effort

The TLDR version: Despite a hefty price tag and mediocre battery life, the Sony Alpha 7R V is probably the best full-frame still camera in the market right now.

Sony a7R V Review

The Sony a7R V takes everything photographers loved about the a7R IV and makes it a little bit better. Faster, smarter autofocus, a gorgeous EVF, and a clever dual-hinged display make it our favorite high-pixel camera.

Sony Alpha 7R V Review

The image quality, featuring 61 MP resolution, from the a7R V's imaging sensor is impressive, and Sony's best-ever AF and IBIS systems ensure that the ultimate image quality is realized. The viewfinder is huge with high resolution, and the 4-axis LCD...
