1:47 meant to say the same sensor as in the A7R IV.
Excellent review! Does Eye AF still work in video when using clear image zoom?
thank you very much for another great review! 👍
I was hoping the last months that there would be a review from you for this great camera.
I have upgraded from the Alpha 7R IVA to the A7R V half a year ago and I'm fascinated by the new AF-system, the great monitor, processing power, software upgrade and much more. 😃
I love the A7R V in combination with the FE 2.8/24-70 GM II.
But also Macro shooting for insects with the new AI system and the FE 2.8/90mm G OSS.
Another great review! Really appreciate your level-headed approach with lots of examples. Looking forward to the lens reviews (and the new camera you hinted at) :)
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback!
Did that camera come out yet or even be rumoured? IBIS matters a lot to my workflow both for photo and video.
Great videos! Excellent content as usual. You mention downsampling the files is post- is that to say re-sizing when exporting? Can you elaborate a little?
Thank you.
Great review! Thank you!!!
Great review! Thanks!
Thank you!
Excellent review one of the best I have seen. You have a new subscriber. Great job
Thank you, I appreciate your subscription!
Thank you very much for the review.
I have got one question: do you know if "former exp comp dial" could be program ed to control Min Shutter Speed in AutoISO Aperture Priority mode?
Great review.
Can you make a review of the A7C II or A7C R ??
Would appreciate feedback comparison specially on EVF and Handling compared to big bodies
awesome video as always, i have watched tones of a7r5 videos but still i watched your's too 😅 by the way you've got a really beautiful pet at home
Thank you!
Such a great review... Thank you!
My pleasure, thank you for watching!
As always, an excellent review! I picked one up and agree with your findings, It's the most polished overall camera I have shot with.
Thank you, I’m glad that you are enjoying your A7R V.
Great video, thanks! That walking test with 24mm was with active stabilisation or just the standard?
My pleasure! Standard, but with focus breathing compensation ON, so the FoV is narrower.
Very accurate review. I upgraded from the R4 for a few reasons & am very happy with the camera. The ibis is excellent & for still images I have gone as low as almost a second. Lowlight seems better - EVF & screen are also much better. And also for video one can do handheld video at 4k60frames with active stabilization. Naturally for 8k there will be rolling shutter - one shoots 8k for detail and hence a still frame - its not meant for run and gun. It is the only real hybrid high definition FF camera with all the other tools
Great review of a great camera. One thing I and others have noticed with the rear screen is a hashed matrix that becomes visible where there are bright white areas in the image. It almost looks like it might be something to do with the touch screen.
Thank you! Do you mean in the video or in reality?
@@TheHybridShooter In reality. I don’t see it that often so I can live with it. Someone posted an image of it on DP review, thread 4683531.
I have the A7r IV and didn't want to upgrade.... but the IBIS sold me, especially cause I'm going to Japan next week . I really want my videos to turn out decent!
… a nearly flawless camera! Thx for the review! 👍🏻
My pleasure, thank you for watching!
hi, is there any chance to see a review of the sony a7cII ? greets BM
Yes, I have requested a review unit, but it will take a while.
Oh! You are teasing us! I doubt it was not rumoured.
Why 61mp? Is it only for cropping or is there a different aesthetic look vs 33mp. Thank you.
Look, cropping and future-proofing.
Do you think the future A7V will get the same ibis or worse/even better?
I think that the A7 V will have the same IBIS unit.
Now you left me quite curious, the only camera that you tested with a better ibis system is a camera that hasn't been even rumored. My guess is a DJI camera
That or the G9ii... there were no official rumours at least two weeks ago
one thing i noticed with compressed raw is you lose 14 bit when shooting multi shot but with single you have 14bit . unless you just uncompressed raw
Some cameras offer lossless compressed.
@@aliendroneservices6621 A7R V offers that as well.
informative video
Thank you!
Only their pro bodies are getting larger, they do have the a7C line. That being said the bigger grip is great.
best review out there
Thank you!
Almost perfect from every aspect, I would sell my Fujifilm XT4 and switch to this camera if my budget allowed.
… hopefully the so far „not rumored“ camera with the better IBIS is also a Sony. 😉
Who knows... :)
@@TheHybridShooter… you! 😄
This screen should be standard on all hybrid cameras.
Not if you want to keep the price down.
Your voice, I keep listening because of your voice.
Thank you!
Whats the video quality like vs the a7iv?
I have talked about that in the video.
Is it Sony A9 III which has even better IBIS than this? :)
No, it is was Panasonic G9 II.
The anything but sports, weddings and action camera, so basically a still subject camera, so basically u should spend the extra k on a Fujifilm GFX
Not at all, watch the review.
I have the A7R ii, and love it. Battery life is garbage, but with a grip it is reasonable. I want an a7r III at the most. I don't see the advantage for me going any higher. I always buy used so it is easier to get the camera I want. I am not a professional by any means, so I am happy with the older ones and save tons. Time is always on my side because everyone wants the newest. Me? I want what works for me. I have an a7ii as my B camera, and an a6400 as my crop camera. I have Canon too, a 1DX and 1D mk.4. The cool part is I shoot all EF glass adapted to the Sony. Keeps things easy, cost controlled. My last camera most likely is an a7R iii, and that is one, and done. I may trade my a7r II and a7 II and just get an a7R III. Time will tell.
I own a A7R5 with a Tamron 20-20, Im very happy with it. The only 2 things I wish I could is map my record button to the shutter button, and the other thing is have the same AF mode/opertaion in video and photo. In photo I can just put the green box over where I want to video and half depress the shutter button and it will track my subject, I can't do this in video so have to touch the screen to get focus.
Recording video with shutter button is possible of course. You need to find REC w/ shutter setting.
@@TheHybridShooter I don't think it exists - it does in the A74 tho
@@markshirley01 It is definitely there, I have it set that way.
@@TheHybridShooter I don't think it is - I saw someone mention it and asking why it was missing. I asked a big Sony UA-camr and said it was missing for some reason - I can't find one example online pointing to where it would be
@markshirleygoogleplus It is 100% there - the last tab, item 50/58. I have been using it the whole week.
61... my memory cards screaming! don't think I'll ever buy something with that much mp.
1:47 The A7R V has the same sensor as the A7R V? 😅
I mean to say A7R IV... obviously.
The rolling shutter is a deal breaker.
Only for specific use cases and even then only for 8K and 4K 60p.
60mp is ridiculous.
No, it is not.
There is not one (1) lens in the world that can resolve 60mp on 35mm cameras. Not one. The maximum achieved with one or two of the absolute best lenses ever made is 47mp. With 60 mp your picture quality actually gets worse (smaller pixels).
@stavrosk.2868 Obviously. You will never get 61 “perception megapixels” out of any lens with a 61 MP sensor, but you won’t get 47 perception megapixels with 47 MP sensor either. The point is that you will still get significantly more resolution with 61 MP sensor.
Modern lenses can actually work with even smaller pixels, as you can see in my lens reviews with 40 MP APS-C sensor.
If Nikon's AF system is on par or slightly below Sony and Canon plus more available third party lenses for Z & RF mounts, then Sony will be in danger.
Canon has literally banned 3rd party RF lenses, Z-mount is not an open standard either, Nikon prefers rebranding Tamron lenses and putting markups on them, so Sony is perfectly safe in this regard.
Unfortunately Sony doesn't support users with value enhancing firmware updates nor logical feature tiers. The A7CR for example has better video features than the A7Cii and that makes no sense to me.
Supporting users by releasing finished products that don't need significant FW updates is definitely a preferable option IMO, not many manufacturers do that nowadays. I wouldn't say that the A7C R has better video features.
True Sony doing too much segmentation, a lot of features in newer cameras could be provided in older ones with firmware upgrades but it’s not in their interest financially
Are you talking about the 4k60 crop on A7C2 at 1.5x vs A7CR at 1.2?
That's because the A7C2 doesn't have enough pixels for pixel binning and get 4k, as it would require 8000 pixels wide, but it only has 7000 pixels, and because the readout speed is not good enough, it cannot do this, so it goes into crop mode. The A7CR has 9500px wide, so with a small crop, it becomes 8000px and then pixel binning makes it 4k, and pixel binning can be accomplished at twice the readout speed. See? It makes sense.
@@bijosnIt's all about resource allocation. It's easier to have the software team focus on new cameras, because there are only 3-4 new cameras per year. If the team had to focus on older cameras, then every year there would be more and more cameras to support so that software team would have to grow like crazy. With the current resources, that would mean that Sony would have to slow down the release of new cameras. Not sure that's what people want.
@bijosn Why would a user mind having more options? There is no such thing as "too much market segmentation" as long they can manage supply. FW updates are much more complicated topic than you might imagine.
I have this camera and the Nikon z8 and I can tell you the Nikon is a much better camera . From the feelings in the hands to ergonomics to rolling shutter performance to white balance accuracy and to color science , the Nikon trumps this camera .
The Sony has a slightly better af but that advantage is cancelled out by no blackout in the Nikon for anything moving .
A7R V does not compete with Z8, it is not a better or worse camera. Nikon's latest camera in this category is still Z7 II. A7R V is a specialized high-res camera which just happens to have additional features such as 8K. Z8 is a high-speed camera with stacked sensor, meaning that it is faster, but it can't match A7R V's output. Z8 competes with A1 which has much faster read-out, lower rolling shutter and no blackout shooting. Sony's color science myths have been debunked many times.
Is it true that soon jpegs from the a7r5 have the best colors of all Sonys?
Yes, but all Sony cameras released after A7S III have very similar colors.
I have the a7iv but it doesn’t have the same colors as the a7r5
There are minor differences in WB, but the colors are very similar otherwise.
I can’t get over the mostly greenish faces of people from Sony followed by it’s yellow cast. It makes people look sick. It’s the only in your face thing that keeps me from buying Sony. Best colors to me 1 Nikon 2 Fujifilm and 3 Panasonic since their L2 Leika color cooperation.
I am totally awaiting for Nikons A74 and A7R5, the Nikon Z6 mark 3 and the Nikon Z7 mark 3.
If I could afford it I would buy the coming Fujifilm X-pro 4 as well. Coming from Fujifilm right now.
However I will buy just one camera with only 2 of the most used lenses for me. Something light and ultrawide and one light with a bigger aperture but still wide.
Oh and I prefer a good SOOC color, that endless fiddling with raw afterwards to me is like needing a cleaner right after the previous cleaner walked out of your appartement… it’s a half assed service or product to me!
@@Viewtolove That has been fixed 5 years ago, it is just a myth carried over from A7 II, much like bad Sony handling or IBIS.
The most important feature is ai white balance selecting which makes sure wb settings are more accurate in a wg…better colors
