This is the best review I have seen for the A7RV. The exact information I was looking for. Adorama has this camera on sale right now for $3498.00 so I'm seriously considering it.
Thank you! I tried to do some real-world test. Yeah, I am mad I paid full price haha. And if you have an old camera, they are giving an extra 300-400 off for trade in.
I am so happy the algorithm recommended your channel. As a business owner too, i had to go through 5 content videos that was just reading the specs to me. I also found the fx30 having better saturation in the shadows making the image richer than my fx3. Then i read how the fx30 sensor is just a slimmed down version of the a7rV and we can definitely see how sick it is :) when you matched with an fx9 😅 does it overheat when shooting long talking heads ?
Excellent review Well made. I hope Sony add USER LUTS function for this fantastic camera through a firmware update. Even latest A7CR has USER LUTS function which is a baby A7RV.

Do you have any footages of handheld a7r5 with 16-35mm f2.8 GM lens ? Im using a7s3 with 16-35mm f2.8 and the handheld is extremely horrible. Im looking for a better solution, as my viewers go mad and their eyes hurt really bad.
Was the 135 shot a zoom lens with OSS or was that a 135 prime with no OSS? I am weighing up either another SIII, the A7R V or an FX3, I'm leaning towards the A7R... mostly do wedding films and a bit of corporate. Lenses: all primes other than my 70-200 which I do love to use to snipe people handheld, so A7R V would be awesome for that! A7 R is only £200 more than the SIII...
It was a OSS lens 28-135 f4. I was shocked at the difference. For handheld it’s solid. I like the idea of telling the camera to focus on the bride and register her and groom as priority for focus. That can be a huge Benefit for wedding shooters.
Thank you so much for this video! I was really debating getting the a7R V … watching multiple reviews, but this was the best of all I must say and really sealed the deal for me!

Hey Osiris. I’m also in Miami. Been thinking about selling my A1 and A7IV to get this one for photo and video when I want to log one camera only. How do you think it performs for low light compared to the A7IV? Great video.
Hi Gaston! Tough question. A1 is the peak but are you using it to its capacity. There was a time I had a big body D4 Nikon. The A1 equivalent for Nikon at the time. it was so large, i sold it for a lighter d750. AN a7iii equivalent. For weddings, I didn't really see the difference in switching. I consider A1 for Olympic games shooting, fast action, sports etc. Depends on your use case. a7iv is a perfect backup camera, I wouldn't lose it. A7Rv is an incredible camera that does both things amazingly well. You can sell the A1 and get the a7r5 plus additional items that can bring value to your business. I believe in having a backup if working professionally. Sorry for the rant.
To be fair. I purposely shot it in an extreme light and shadow scenario to test DR. I would never shoot a project that way. It was done to show how it handled the scene. School shoot was literally raining so it was beyond a dark cloudy day. The new Sony cameras give incredible video footage so not sure what you mean.
I changed my A1 for the 7R5 and did not like the video.I made the wrong decision,for the better screen , I didn’t like the video quality from the line skipping from a 61 mp censor .I’ll be keeping it just for photography .Fortunately I have some smaller censor cameras that I’ll use .I prefer the video on the down sampled video from 7K .I’m not a cinematographer like you but have been taking photos since the fifties and developing film and can remember when you recorded video on film and had to reverse it , until super 8 I’ve have had almost every new enervation from Sony and other manufacturers for 65 years.I’m just a enthusiastic hobbyist.What I mean is I’m not impressed with the video on the R5.

Handheld and gimbal are totally different tho. It may just be the wavy horizon you are stating is the rolling shutter that some cameras have. A7siii is a beast with that. A7IV has some rolling shutter. I am super interested in the new Tamron. Its upsetting that barely any lenses have stabilization these days. Paired with the a7R5 Im sure it will be a beast. I will say this about the a7IV. I am having issues with overheating on it. Typically when using the image edge app for remote control. I love the camera but need to do more stress tests.
You gest convinced me to get in the near future an Sony 7R5. Coming from Panasonic Lumix S5 for the lense choices and rezolution. 90 % photos and some videos mostly for personal use. The only thing that is worrying me is sony menu, but I'm sure I can deal with it 😅
Realtor here. Mostly have videographers doing my stuff but want to be able to shoot more on the fly since I have a photography background. Would love to be able to have both beautiful pictures and make video shooting betters Picked up the a7iv to replace my a7ii and then came across the a7rV immediately thinking this is a way better camera. Thoughts on the two cameras?
I like it .. ive been waiting for for a7v but doesn't look like its coming out this year ? .. I like the screen now its NOT the flippy floppy one that Sony has given us in recent years
Your review is the best on youtube ! I have been locking at reviews and as you said, most channels have tech reviews not real shooting scenario reviews. Most complain about the video features of the A7R5 as well about how bad and overpriced the 28-135 f4 lens is. I wanted to see both in action and also in real life scenarios when it really is on a tripod used together with another camera for a different angle, also with this lens because as a video shooter I need only one zoom which will be the 28-135mm f4. As a photo shooter I only use prime lenses and I have all the prime lenses that I need now, it is time for me to upgrade the camera and buy a zoom lens with stabilization for it, this seems to be a great versatile combo. I do not shoot vlogs or hobby style photography/video, part of the way I am shooting is to have the right stabilization the right lens and light required for the specific footage I need to take. The A7r5 is amazing for photos but you showed the proper example of how good and usable it can be for video as well. Thanks for this awesome review, I subscribed !
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. The 28-135 is a beast for jobs. The 24-105 is also great as well. I really enjoy using the zoom rocker with the 28-135. Good for action and movement and so smooth. I will post today a fashion short that I shot with this combo.
Glad it was helpful! I wasn't expecting to love it, I am practical! But since owning it, I feel strongly about its benefits and its just a pleasure to use.
I just paid for one and am waiting for delivery, I am an amateur who uses camera once in 2 months maybe. Your video has given me a reason to excuse myself for this expensive purchase.😉
It's unfortunate and frustrating that Sony put all these new video features, physical and software, onto a high MP camera that is more intended for photography, while completely ignoring the video-focused A7S3 and the flagship A1.
I think they made an interesting reason to want to pick this up. Its a business and they have created reasons to upgrade/ show differences. I think its normal the a7siii didnt get them, its a slap in the face the A1 didn't since its $6500. In the end they all are capable cameras but understand the frustration.
I agree & undersatnd. I have the a7siii for example. Didn't bother me. I am so used to sony cycling cameras, I am surprised a new a7siii hasn't been released. I think image hasnt really evolved anymore so tech is the only thing they have now for selling features. Its unfortunate.
Thanks for the video. I'm looking forward to buying an A7RV with a 24-105mm F4 OSS lens. What setup that you use in 2:27 ? Just switch on the lens OSS and switch off IBIS in the camera (No stabilization mode)? Thanks!
Never saw you upload that A7siii comparison or low light to the A7IV??? That said, I have the chance to trade my A7Siii for an A7Rv. I do mostly video client work with some photography. I also have an A7IV, A1, FX30 and ZV-E1. I usually use a combination of my Siii, FX30, and E1 for video work. But my A7IV has missed some shots for photography and having a 4k60 with less crop has me thinking the RV can help. How do you find the low light performance is for interior shots at conferences or in buildings. I know I can trust my A7Siii.
Amazing man, you got all the good stuff! I have been overwhelmed with work. SO hard to film edit and upload. Thanks for following and supporting the channel. I need to get on that asap! I have used it for conferences in medium and small file settings and I have found it to be good enough. A7siii will always be king in low light but these other cameras are coming close. To your point of the a7IV, seems to be handicapped. I have also missed some moments with that camera. I will say this, I know the next A7s will have some ground breaking feature. I have the camera as well and I also wish to sell in preparation for the next. Sell now since it still holds value at the moment. For event coverage and video work, the a7siii is amazing.
what i see that video quality didnt improoved since A7R2 . R5 better with 4k60 and 8k abilities but worse in colours in video. Yellowish colours of A7R2 in video in slog2 still better than R3/4/5. That was the reason why i traded A7R3 and went back to R2
The A1 is an incredible camera. Sonys top offering. It really depends if you are using it to the best of its abilities. DO you shoot sports? DO you shoot fast paced jobs. Thats were the a1 sings. Also has some better frame rates video wise. If you shoot more commercial work, slower paced jobs, a7R5 will be a great choice, plus you will have extra cash to spare for a top lens. I haven't seen rolling shutter an issue for my needs, if I did more sports work, maybe it would be.
It has incredible video. I would say the a7siii set the standard, introducing 10bit footage 120fts 4K. Then every following camera released has 10bit video. Yes, it has a crop of 1.24 for 60frames but not every shot is shot for slowmotion. I will release a video or two shot on the A7R5 soon to show how nice the footage is. A7siii is still the king for slow-motion and low light, depends on the work you do.
Thanks for the comment, I always shoot XAVC S-I. Its larger but runs the smoothest on my computer when editing. This helps me with speed on the backend. I suppose a more robust codec for editing as well.
gear does matter, im visually impaired so i dont have 100% focus so i have to rely on my gear to be accurate with focus and im looking at getting the rV just for that reason.
Thank You i was worried if the front focus wheel will function or not as the compatibility list doesn't have A7R5 name i thought i have to sell my RS2 aswell @@ThatGuyOsirisRamirez
I will say it's there, but if you aren't shooting action sports, it doesn't really affect my work. I do corporate work, product videos, weddings, brand videos,etc If you shoot fitness, sports, hand-held music videos then it's going to be more apparent.
It’s weird because I typically never have issues with overheating. I have done 4 hour recordings for podcast with a7iv with no issues. Yet the other day while using image edge app to control camera remotely I experienced overheating on a7iv in a rather short period of time Unless you have a proper camera that has proper systems in place for heat, you are running that risk. Sometimes you may never experience it but there’s going to be one day. It may just embarrass you in front of a client.
This is very good video. Thank you. But you didn't talked about the elephant in the room i.e. the rolling shutter on this camera when it comes to video. It's a very slow sensor and that's where the S3, FX3 and FX6 really come into their own. The 12 megapixel sensor in these cameras is so fast that it's the closest we have to the one in the Arri when it comes to rolling shutter. What is your opinion about that? Is the R5 as good for video as it's for the stills? Is it the perfect hybrid? I am also thinking about the stacked sensor inside Nikon Z8 which makes that camera probably the best hybrid we have right now. For me, both, the stills and video are equally important. And, I have been looking for that perfect hybrid which I can carry with me long distance. I do not want to carry multiple cameras.
Thank you for liking the video. I guess it really depends what you film. If you shoot weddings, events, corporate jobs, then rolling shutter isn't an issue. If photography is important, then this shines as a hybrid. I have noticed that I have been shooting mostly 24-30 p, rarely shoot slowmo and if I do the 1.25 crop doesn't matter me. The stabilization is amazing that plus the other pluses in this video I stated. I have lots of photography clients. If you are 100% video and photos are for thumbnails or random assignments, then a fx3 can work. I happen to have both, as each has its strength. I have been married to the sony system since I have the larger FX9 Cinema camera. I think Sony is on top right now. I will say I love the Nikon feel, I used to shoot nikon. If they had larger cinema bodies, I would be tempted to switch back. Very satisfied with my sony tho.
@@ThatGuyOsirisRamirez I am also leaning towards the AR5. For me stills and video are equally important. One more question. How is the stabilisation when pared with pro cinema glass which is not optically stabilised? For example, the anamorphics. Is it any good? I also have a lot of vintage FD lenses. You are right about Sony having bigger cinema cameras and hence investing in that system. From the client's perspective, having a bigger and proper video camera is very important.
@@DineshBhadwal a lot of Sony lenses don’t have stabilization, it’s the IBIS that does the work. There are longer lenses like the 70-200 that have OSS where it needs it but shorter ones typically don’t
Dude, your one statement seriously helped me make a painstaking decision as i was thinking about A7 CR Or 7 RV. However, I have one question. I am going to buy the A7RV now but i am also considering getting the FX30 as another body to use for video. Is this a waste because the A7RV will pretty much work as both?
Glad my video was helpful. I would say if you do a lot of photo work it makes sense. The fx30 is a great cam b and even a cam a. I see it as a perfect cam b to my FX9 or A7siii. Fx30 is so cheap!
Tell me how you really feel lol. Look these test wasn’t trying to make it look good. You can check my site for my professional work. I was just extreme testing the camera.
@@ThatGuyOsirisRamirez Thank you for the tests! I was actually looking into purchasing the r5 and the test was great for but I think you got the wrong settings, it has that akward motion blur all over
In which part? I don’t see it. I filmed a part running through a crowd for extreme motion and testing autofocus lock? Are you speaking on that part or the whole thing?
Both are great. I have both of them. They both have pluses. I would say if you are a hybrid shooter that does client photo work, do with A7R5, if you only shoot video, A7siii is solid. I like having bodies with different qualities. If I am shooting handheld work for video, I am choosing A7R5, filming a bride walk down the isle-A7R5 AI Autofocus on bride. Shoot in crazy high iso for events? A7siii. 4k 60 full frame for real estate a7siii. etc I have a feeling a new camera is coming that will replace the a7siii soon.
i have a question, im looking for a new camera, probably this a7rv. actually i have a sony a7s II, do you consider that low light photos with sony a7r v its better than sony a7s ii ?? and video? do you think I notice a big improvement from a7sii from a7rv in general ?
you're a business owner, someone who uses these gear on real world situation not just a content creator who only reviews gears and never actually use it. BOOM :)
So many bodies are crippled with a 1.5 crop so I consider 1.25 decent compared to other cameras held back. It's a comprise, they can make the camera the same level as an A1 for so much less.
1,24 crop is really good! You can use aps-c lenses with it. I use Samuang 12mm f2 lens for vlogging 4k50fps and active stabilisation. It's about 16mm full frame.
@@Zero_Meineko I think it’s a great compliment for the fx3. For social media post 12 megapixels is enough. But for commercial work you want the extra pixels.
Dude no disrespect, but I literally showed rock-solid stabilization. How can you say its bad? I get it, people love Lumix, but don't say the A7R5 is bad when I am showing you solid footage in hard scenarios. I was running through a crowd zoomed in, thats the only footage thats shaky and no amount of ibis will have smooth footage in that situation.
@@ThatGuyOsirisRamirez I tested the A7RV camera myself with wide lenses and normal walking. I saw no difference between the previous Sonys. I have an S5, it's good, but there are a lot of shortcomings. I was only talking about the stabilizer :) True, you did an excellent test here with a telephoto zoom lens, with the camera handling it smoothly. I didn't check that. And I was happy to learn. It's a bit annoying that the price of the camera is very high, but they can't invest in a small LCD screen and a good stabilizer. Anyway, thanks for the great video.
@@shtrudel-pu1cm no doubt they have a funky pricing strategy. sensor tech will go into the next models and that always spills down into the cheaper models. I will say on a lens that is stabilized I definitely saw the difference between cameras I haven’t really done extensive tests on non-stabilized lenses yet but for sure will do that next. Sony for sure is not known for great stabilization. I’m glad this camera is moving in the right direction.

Thank you. I believe my A7Siii and it was 60p
Love the two shot comparation and effort for this video. 🔥
Thank you! Only way to really know if the camera is different. The field will tell you.
You gest convinced me to get in the near future an Sony 7R5. Coming from Panasonic Lumix S5 for the lense choices and rezolution. 90 % photos and some videos mostly for personal use. The only thing that is worrying me is sony menu, but I'm sure I can deal with it 😅
It’s a great little camera! The menu is good. They have the updated one that’s easy.
Thanks Guy, the review is more relevant then others i've seen, as a business owner. - how did you like the screen?
Glad you enjoyed it. Love the screen, best one outside of A1 and A9iii
Realtor here. Mostly have videographers doing my stuff but want to be able to shoot more on the fly since I have a photography background. Would love to be able to have both beautiful pictures and make video shooting betters Picked up the a7iv to replace my a7ii and then came across the a7rV immediately thinking this is a way better camera. Thoughts on the two cameras?
Thanks for the comment. I think for your use case the a7iv is perfect. A7r5 is better for commercial work.
I like it .. ive been waiting for for a7v but doesn't look like its coming out this year ? .. I like the screen now its NOT the flippy floppy one that Sony has given us in recent years
That’s gonna be two years. First wave will be a7s and fx3
Your review is the best on youtube ! I have been locking at reviews and as you said, most channels have tech reviews not real shooting scenario reviews.
Most complain about the video features of the A7R5 as well about how bad and overpriced the 28-135 f4 lens is. I wanted to see both in action and also in real life scenarios when it really is on a tripod used together with another camera for a different angle, also with this lens because as a video shooter I need only one zoom which will be the 28-135mm f4. As a photo shooter I only use prime lenses and I have all the prime lenses that I need now, it is time for me to upgrade the camera and buy a zoom lens with stabilization for it, this seems to be a great versatile combo. I do not shoot vlogs or hobby style photography/video, part of the way I am shooting is to have the right stabilization the right lens and light required for the specific footage I need to take.
The A7r5 is amazing for photos but you showed the proper example of how good and usable it can be for video as well.
Thanks for this awesome review, I subscribed !
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. The 28-135 is a beast for jobs. The 24-105 is also great as well. I really enjoy using the zoom rocker with the 28-135. Good for action and movement and so smooth. I will post today a fashion short that I shot with this combo.
@@ThatGuyOsirisRamirez Thanks for the reply. Great, I will watch that as well.
All the best !

Wow, valuable content and soo refreshing! Look forward to more from you, hope your channel grows. Subscribed!
Thanks, brother!
I enjoyed your video very much. calm talking and hitting the points that matters to me. 👍🏼
Glad I can be helpful Normen
Great video!! Keep it coming.
Thanks Edwin!
Is the 4K on the A7RV downsampled from 8K like the A7IV is with 7K?
Your closeup shots of the camera are fantastic. Well done
Thank you very much! Had fun shooting those portions.
Thank You... you have a way better real life review between the A7rv vs the A7iv. You made my decision a final to go with the A7rv
Glad it was helpful! I wasn't expecting to love it, I am practical! But since owning it, I feel strongly about its benefits and its just a pleasure to use.
I just paid for one and am waiting for delivery, I am an amateur who uses camera once in 2 months maybe. Your video has given me a reason to excuse myself for this expensive purchase.😉
Hope you enjoy it! It’s a beautiful camera
did you export this video in 264 or 265?
Hello, I exported in 264.
For stabilization are you shooting handheld or with gimbal ?
Nice sharing, love A7R V❤
Thanks for watching
@@ThatGuyOsirisRamirez Thank you 😊 🥰🥰🥰
Nice vid bro
Thanks my fellow anxiety bro, love your vids! I too suffer from camera anxiety lol. Will be posting more photo content as well!
Did you use the kit lens on A7V? If not, what lens did you use?
@@browser37 I used a 28-135 f4 lens. 24-105 f4 would work the same.
@ thanks!
This is super informative
Glad you think so!
It's unfortunate and frustrating that Sony put all these new video features, physical and software, onto a high MP camera that is more intended for photography, while completely ignoring the video-focused A7S3 and the flagship A1.
I think they made an interesting reason to want to pick this up. Its a business and they have created reasons to upgrade/ show differences. I think its normal the a7siii didnt get them, its a slap in the face the A1 didn't since its $6500. In the end they all are capable cameras but understand the frustration.
@@ThatGuyOsirisRamirez It could be a short-sighted business decision that leads flagship users who spend the big money to jump ship.
I agree & undersatnd. I have the a7siii for example. Didn't bother me. I am so used to sony cycling cameras, I am surprised a new a7siii hasn't been released. I think image hasnt really evolved anymore so tech is the only thing they have now for selling features. Its unfortunate.
Just buy A7RV
@@gurugamer8632 Haha
Thanks for the video. I'm looking forward to buying an A7RV with a 24-105mm F4 OSS lens. What setup that you use in 2:27 ? Just switch on the lens OSS and switch off IBIS in the camera (No stabilization mode)? Thanks!
Its a great camera. I used a 28-135 Sony and you have to turn on OS and stabilization. Joint effort for smooth as possible footage.
Never saw you upload that A7siii comparison or low light to the A7IV???
That said, I have the chance to trade my A7Siii for an A7Rv. I do mostly video client work with some photography. I also have an A7IV, A1, FX30 and ZV-E1. I usually use a combination of my Siii, FX30, and E1 for video work. But my A7IV has missed some shots for photography and having a 4k60 with less crop has me thinking the RV can help.
How do you find the low light performance is for interior shots at conferences or in buildings. I know I can trust my A7Siii.
Amazing man, you got all the good stuff! I have been overwhelmed with work. SO hard to film edit and upload. Thanks for following and supporting the channel. I need to get on that asap! I have used it for conferences in medium and small file settings and I have found it to be good enough. A7siii will always be king in low light but these other cameras are coming close. To your point of the a7IV, seems to be handicapped. I have also missed some moments with that camera. I will say this, I know the next A7s will have some ground breaking feature. I have the camera as well and I also wish to sell in preparation for the next. Sell now since it still holds value at the moment. For event coverage and video work, the a7siii is amazing.
amazing content man just found your channel you gained a new sub keep it up
Welcome aboard! Thank you. Will be uploading soon with new content.
Thank you!
A7IV can overheat even in 30p 4k. How is overheat on a7RV? Is it safe to use 30p 4k?
Yes a7iv is problematic. A7R5 hasn’t overheated once.
right now i have the sony a1 as a b cam for video and it constantly overheats ... how is the a7rv in that regard ?
So far so good. I have had it on long interviews in the outdoor heat and its been solid. Also, long podcast.
great video 😍
Thank you! Stay tuned for more!
what i see that video quality didnt improoved since A7R2 . R5 better with 4k60 and 8k abilities but worse in colours in video. Yellowish colours of A7R2 in video in slog2 still better than R3/4/5. That was the reason why i traded A7R3 and went back to R2
I would disagree It’s a massive difference in video quality. 8bit vs 10bit autofocus in video and 4k60.
should i replace my a1 with this and what about rolling shutter?
The A1 is an incredible camera. Sonys top offering. It really depends if you are using it to the best of its abilities. DO you shoot sports? DO you shoot fast paced jobs. Thats were the a1 sings. Also has some better frame rates video wise. If you shoot more commercial work, slower paced jobs, a7R5 will be a great choice, plus you will have extra cash to spare for a top lens. I haven't seen rolling shutter an issue for my needs, if I did more sports work, maybe it would be.
That was Amazon and helpful thank you!
You're so welcome!
How does the A7R5 compare to the A7S3 ? Isn't the A7S3 the standard for video quality on Sony hybrids?
It has incredible video. I would say the a7siii set the standard, introducing 10bit footage 120fts 4K. Then every following camera released has 10bit video. Yes, it has a crop of 1.24 for 60frames but not every shot is shot for slowmotion. I will release a video or two shot on the A7R5 soon to show how nice the footage is. A7siii is still the king for slow-motion and low light, depends on the work you do.
What video format are you recording on with the A7RV?
Thanks for the comment, I always shoot XAVC S-I. Its larger but runs the smoothest on my computer when editing. This helps me with speed on the backend. I suppose a more robust codec for editing as well.
gear does matter, im visually impaired so i dont have 100% focus so i have to rely on my gear to be accurate with focus and im looking at getting the rV just for that reason.
It sure does, autofocus is a big deal and for sure you want the best combo, camera and lens to ensure you don't miss in critical scenarios.
will DJI rs2 work properly wit ASR5 i am shifting from canon 5dmarkii and canon 60D to this
Oh yes, RS2 will work perfectly with it. My god you will be blown away by the quality difference from the 5d markiii and 60d. Congrats on the upgrade.
Thank You i was worried if the front focus wheel will function or not as the compatibility list doesn't have A7R5 name i thought i have to sell my RS2 aswell @@ThatGuyOsirisRamirez
how do you feel about the rolling shutter?
I will say it's there, but if you aren't shooting action sports, it doesn't really affect my work. I do corporate work, product videos, weddings, brand videos,etc If you shoot fitness, sports, hand-held music videos then it's going to be more apparent.
I hear so much overheating on the 7iv, and nobody says they experience it with this o w. But the money diff..
It’s weird because I typically never have issues with overheating. I have done 4 hour recordings for podcast with a7iv with no issues. Yet the other day while using image edge app to control camera remotely I experienced overheating on a7iv in a rather short period of time Unless you have a proper camera that has proper systems in place for heat, you are running that risk. Sometimes you may never experience it but there’s going to be one day. It may just embarrass you in front of a client.
I really Appreciate
Thank you brother
You need a pop filter Osiris 🙏🏼
Haha its true. Had to record the voiceover at home and only had a usb yeti. I spit all over it.
can you please show us how to do the lights ?
Hi and thanks for commenting. What do you mean by how to do the lights? Interview lights or product lights?
@@ThatGuyOsirisRamirez interview lights , that was amazing
@@mmsa9911 Thank you so much, Yes loved that setup. I will post a lighting video for sure.
This is very good video. Thank you. But you didn't talked about the elephant in the room i.e. the rolling shutter on this camera when it comes to video. It's a very slow sensor and that's where the S3, FX3 and FX6 really come into their own. The 12 megapixel sensor in these cameras is so fast that it's the closest we have to the one in the Arri when it comes to rolling shutter. What is your opinion about that? Is the R5 as good for video as it's for the stills? Is it the perfect hybrid? I am also thinking about the stacked sensor inside Nikon Z8 which makes that camera probably the best hybrid we have right now. For me, both, the stills and video are equally important. And, I have been looking for that perfect hybrid which I can carry with me long distance. I do not want to carry multiple cameras.
Thank you for liking the video. I guess it really depends what you film. If you shoot weddings, events, corporate jobs, then rolling shutter isn't an issue. If photography is important, then this shines as a hybrid. I have noticed that I have been shooting mostly 24-30 p, rarely shoot slowmo and if I do the 1.25 crop doesn't matter me. The stabilization is amazing that plus the other pluses in this video I stated. I have lots of photography clients. If you are 100% video and photos are for thumbnails or random assignments, then a fx3 can work. I happen to have both, as each has its strength. I have been married to the sony system since I have the larger FX9 Cinema camera. I think Sony is on top right now. I will say I love the Nikon feel, I used to shoot nikon. If they had larger cinema bodies, I would be tempted to switch back. Very satisfied with my sony tho.
@@ThatGuyOsirisRamirez I am also leaning towards the AR5. For me stills and video are equally important. One more question. How is the stabilisation when pared with pro cinema glass which is not optically stabilised? For example, the anamorphics. Is it any good? I also have a lot of vintage FD lenses. You are right about Sony having bigger cinema cameras and hence investing in that system. From the client's perspective, having a bigger and proper video camera is very important.
@@DineshBhadwal a lot of Sony lenses don’t have stabilization, it’s the IBIS that does the work. There are longer lenses like the 70-200 that have OSS where it needs it but shorter ones typically don’t
Dude, your one statement seriously helped me make a painstaking decision as i was thinking about A7 CR Or 7 RV. However, I have one question. I am going to buy the A7RV now but i am also considering getting the FX30 as another body to use for video. Is this a waste because the A7RV will pretty much work as both?
Glad my video was helpful. I would say if you do a lot of photo work it makes sense. The fx30 is a great cam b and even a cam a. I see it as a perfect cam b to my FX9 or A7siii. Fx30 is so cheap!
@@ThatGuyOsirisRamirez So i guess the perfect combo would be to buy the 2 of them!!!
Yes if you are a working pro. I am a big believer in having a cam B especially if you are charging.
@@ThatGuyOsirisRamirez I get to play with the 7RV Wednesday. Looking forward to that and then my decision will be made. 2 Cams in coming. LOL
@@jbrocas1939So which 2 cam you got bro ?
What shutterspeed settings are you using? The whole footage looks terrible
Tell me how you really feel lol. Look these test wasn’t trying to make it look good. You can check my site for my professional work. I was just extreme testing the camera.
@@ThatGuyOsirisRamirez Thank you for the tests! I was actually looking into purchasing the r5 and the test was great for but I think you got the wrong settings, it has that akward motion blur all over
In which part? I don’t see it. I filmed a part running through a crowd for extreme motion and testing autofocus lock? Are you speaking on that part or the whole thing?
Did ou use active or standard IBIS?
I used the active.
Sony a7R5 or sony 7S3 which is the best sir u tell sir i am parchuse
Both are great. I have both of them. They both have pluses. I would say if you are a hybrid shooter that does client photo work, do with A7R5, if you only shoot video, A7siii is solid. I like having bodies with different qualities. If I am shooting handheld work for video, I am choosing A7R5, filming a bride walk down the isle-A7R5 AI Autofocus on bride. Shoot in crazy high iso for events? A7siii. 4k 60 full frame for real estate a7siii. etc I have a feeling a new camera is coming that will replace the a7siii soon.
i have a question, im looking for a new camera, probably this a7rv. actually i have a sony a7s II, do you consider that low light photos with sony a7r v its better than sony a7s ii ?? and video? do you think I notice a big improvement from a7sii from a7rv in general ?
If coming from the a7sii, then yes you will see a big improvement in video. A7s is the low light king no doubt, but a7r5 does a great job.
Thanks a lot for your answer, I really apreciate
A7IV or A7R5 best for video ?
A7R5 Hands down, it doesnt overheat.
Do yo still make videos or did you get out of cameras?
Thanks for writing. I will be making new videos this month. I have been working everyday. So hard to find time to record.
28-135? Is that the over $2000 cinema lens?
Yes, I think its about 2400. I could have used the 24-105 as well. I just have access to the 28-135.
Oh Thank you Sony after all these years giving us for free a proper rear screen ..
Right, they deprive us and when we get it we are so thankful lol. Brilliant strategy!
bro do you fight BJJ? you look like!
Haha thanks man. I don’t. I did train many many years ago
thakyou sir
You are very welcome, thanks for the view
you're a business owner, someone who uses these gear on real world situation not just a content creator who only reviews gears and never actually use it. BOOM :)
Thanks, man! The nuances of equipment always show up when using in the field.
@ThatGuyOsirisRamirez that's right. Thanks for sharing your take on it. Really insightful!
a7r5 for ai is great,ibis is better for my fx3,but 4k60 have 1.24x crop,must so bad.
So many bodies are crippled with a 1.5 crop so I consider 1.25 decent compared to other cameras held back. It's a comprise, they can make the camera the same level as an A1 for so much less.
@@ThatGuyOsirisRamirez So,i buy the a7r5 yesterday,fx3 for photo only 12mp is bad. a7r5 4k60 can backup for fx3
1,24 crop is really good! You can use aps-c lenses with it. I use Samuang 12mm f2 lens for vlogging 4k50fps and active stabilisation. It's about 16mm full frame.
@@henakos that’s a great point. 1.25 crop is workable for sure
@@Zero_Meineko I think it’s a great compliment for the fx3. For social media post 12 megapixels is enough. But for commercial work you want the extra pixels.
Your daugter kind of remind me of Ellie from the movie up lol.
good video, good focus. but in the real world the ibis of a7rv is bad.. better then a7s3. the lumix s5/ii the best ibis.
Dude no disrespect, but I literally showed rock-solid stabilization. How can you say its bad? I get it, people love Lumix, but don't say the A7R5 is bad when I am showing you solid footage in hard scenarios. I was running through a crowd zoomed in, thats the only footage thats shaky and no amount of ibis will have smooth footage in that situation.
@@ThatGuyOsirisRamirez I tested the A7RV camera myself with wide lenses and normal walking. I saw no difference between the previous Sonys. I have an S5, it's good, but there are a lot of shortcomings. I was only talking about the stabilizer :)
True, you did an excellent test here with a telephoto zoom lens, with the camera handling it smoothly. I didn't check that. And I was happy to learn.
It's a bit annoying that the price of the camera is very high, but they can't invest in a small LCD screen and a good stabilizer.
Anyway, thanks for the great video.
@@shtrudel-pu1cm no doubt they have a funky pricing strategy. sensor tech will go into the next models and that always spills down into the cheaper models. I will say on a lens that is stabilized I definitely saw the difference between cameras I haven’t really done extensive tests on non-stabilized lenses yet but for sure will do that next. Sony for sure is not known for great stabilization. I’m glad this camera is moving in the right direction.
