As an owner of the A7RIV and A7IV my take away is that this combines all the features of both along with improved IBIS, AF, EVF, and rear Display, and small body ergonomics tweaks. There are many times I want features of one or the other and with the A7RV I think you can have both. If it works out I will sell both of those and move to this new one. Do you think it is missing anything from the other two? Also, thank you as always for you video.
Ted Ive been following you for years now. You have helped me a great deal to grow as a wedding photographer. Thank you for sharingyour humble wisdom and deep knowledge.
Amazing a7RV review Ted! Not just an interesting camera but a superior camera that was much needed from the a7Riii. A7RV is definitely worth is price tag!
Thanks, this is the best review yet (today) about the new A7r V. I’m an A7r IV user myself and a 99% stills photographer (prints on my Sony, family videos and social media pics on my iPhone 13), but see the advantage of this camera for hybrid shooters, especially that screen and AI. Like most other camera manufacturers, they’re gearing toward the hybrid shooter, lots of video improvements, and slowly leaving the stills photographer behind. I love Sony, but will make my way toward Leica or even Hasselblad in the future. But that’s me, I came from film.
I was so worried about the R line having an articulating screen, so happy to see they went this route! Might just be close to perfect short of the lack Of high frame rate video options in 4K
It really misses a lot of opportunities for flash photography without the 1/400s sync speed as the A1. I think it is a huge miscalculation for a high resolution camera. 😢
Are there compact full frame lenses nowadays, or are they mostly big and heavy (compared to apsc)? I’ve been appreciating compact and lightweight fuji stuff, so I never even considered full frame. But this camera, and the FX3 look really nice.
Hi Ted. A wonderful review. You 're number ONE ! Today I bought a Sony 7R V and 2 lenses (50 mm 1.2 and 16-35 2.8) and a bunch more. I am not at all interested in the photographic capabilities of this camera. I'm only interested in the video. I don't understand at all where to start setting up the camera, since there are thousands of them in it. Do we, your subscribers, have any opportunity in the near future to hear from you useful information about video shooting? Sincerely, Sasha NY
As alway, totally enjoyed your review, an honest assessment. As an owner of Sony’s A1s, there does not seem to be a significant improvement to change to the A7r5. Albeit, the AI focus is impressive but I have not had any major issues with my Sony A1s. I will sit out and wait for either an A1 firmware upgrade or a Sony A1 2. Just my two cents
god how useful this video is!!! thanks man, i watched whole video and i found that I knew about camera. please make more useful contents like this about alphabetic expressions of photography and Video camera. thanks a lot, subscribed
This camera looks great! A bit out of my budget now but I waited a few years to get the A7RIV used for under $2k so I’ll probably just do the same for this one.
Ted you CANNOT just come out with a full beard and not say a word about it 😂. Man had me tripping I was like I could’ve sword I watched your latest videos I’m not crazy
Hope one day there is no grain and noise in the photos that it becomes an effect to be added in post processing when wanted where we can push the iso as high as available exactly in low light conditions.
@@terje5723 because I'd rather have full sensor readout uncropped 4K60p or possibly 6K60p (The Sony a1 uses pixel binning or line skipping for its 4K60p mode which is inferior) and I don't need 50MP I'd be totally fine with a ~30MP sensor. That way even oversampled 4K120p might be possible because the camera has to process way fewer pixels.
I don't know, but I think the best screen articulation is that of the Sony Alpha SLT-A77, which can even be used to take selfies without any difficulty. I don't understand how those who make cameras for Sony don't look at what they've done before.
Does this make the A7iv (not the r version) obsolete? Apart from the substantial price difference is there anywhere the A7iv is ahead? Is 33mp more practical for amateur enthusiasts perhaps? I shoot only stills, no video , mainly on primes. Was just about to upgrade from iii to iv to get better cropping capacity, ergonomics and focusing but now not sure. Of course there is the price……..
Would like to see a review of the Focus Stacking. It appears to have some interesting options, but I'm not finding any in depth reviews on the you tube.
The sonya7iv (and other sony series cameras) there is a display mode accessed by pushing up on the back rotating dial. This screen shows all the settings of the camera. With touch enabled every setting of the camera is available by touch. I have yet to see a UA-cam reviewer mention this. This quick screen menu an the Sony A7RV might be the equivalent to this old display. Any way just to let you know that I really appreciate the reviews that you share.
It appears the grey hair in your left eye was sharp using the A7SM3! You said some about AWB is better and you showed noise with the lit candle, well to return to the past my A7S could make night turn to day with stars and AWB captured the atmosphere gas colors along with the Milky Way Yin and Yang colors around pegasus back then using C1. You will need to wait till summer or head south below the equator for some warm weather to test for gas colors. With so many options you may have to carry a big review book just to know what you have, I think I learned more about photography reading a couple of books on the A7S and now the A7SM3's is as thick as a NY city phone book (if they still have one). If only they will bring back the Digital Filter on camera app, MW's above a lit town without PS is great, makes the A7S and A7SM2 keepers for night play forever.
Wonderful review (as ever!). I also have the a7riv (mainly landscape with some bird and nature macro) and am tempted to upgrade even more after your review. (Insect detection, and focus bracketing!! whoo hooo!) And the IBIS! -- You got down to 1/6 at 135mm - I wonder -- do you think that would extend at 20mm down to 1/2 sec or so, which is where I'm often at for my waterfall shots. If so - bye-bye tripod for 90% of my shooting! That would be *awesome*. Flips screen helps so much for the low angle shots. and there sensor protection when off for changeing lens. That will cut down on dust spots. SO much to love about this camera!
Would u please compare the low light performance between A7R5's 26m lossless compressed raw and A7iii's raw? I think this is a critical point that could change the upgrade decision for an existing A7iii owner.
I got a sony with the tilt out screen and I have never used it or wanted to use it,in my opinion it is useless unless you work on your knees a lot which I don't...I am sure there are people hat love it and use it or find a way to use it... the new Sony looks interesting I thought about buying on but I got a Canon R5 and glass to use with it only have 2 old sony lens, I am not big on the sd cards...maybe one day...Nice video...
I often wonder why we always talk about firmware. I mean basically there must be an OS for the hardware and on top of that the actual apps if you like that gives us the features. I can understand that there is a stronger processer in this model, but basically that hardware architecture is the same. There must definetely be an OS compilation for each new processor definition, but not separate the app functions from the basic operating system in cameras?
Great content as always... one critique... the vast majority of us have little or no frame of reference as a Leica M11 as a comparison. I live in the capital of California and I'd have to drive 90 mins to get to a camera store that sells Leica's. LOL
Nice honest opinion. One very important thing that you forgot to mention is, that it has a super slow Mechanical Shutter. The A1 can be used mainly with the ES but still has a fast MS. The RV is unusable because it is so slow. Lots of Rolling shutter, so you will use it mainly with MS. But what the hell, they didn't add a faster shutter at least to this camera, as you depend so much on it. 10 FPS in 2022 / 2023 is a big joke. 4K60 is also not full read out and has a crop. That is frustrating, too!
Expensive point and shoot that may take the challenge and enjoyment out of photography. Next upgrade, cameras will have a dialogue with the 'photographer' as they hover nearby discussing the next challenge!
Ok million dollar question???? Can you set the shutter beyond 30sec? (this is my peeve of peeves with all digital bodies haha). Well I'm beyond excited for the 9.48m viewfinder! and looks like a radical improvement in high iso noise (have never been That impressed with the r2, r3, or r4 for noise especially in comparison to nikon and most def new canons..so very welcome news. AI looks cool, look forward to seeing or using more on this. The menu system is tough to hear that you can't swipe and bit of challenge to nav (Sony engineers use smartphones, right?....why reinvent the wheel?) anyway I manage the menus with all other other R's surely will figure this one out too. Does look like a worthy upgrade from the r4, or should I wait for the A7 v instead...hmmm
Seems to me Sony needs more software developers to be able to deliver features like focus bracketing on their flagship camera Alpha 1 before it's released in the next "regular" camera model. If this happens more often people won't understand why they supposed to purchase a super expensive flagship camera, if it doesn't get the latest and greatest features first.
@@therigobertodelgado1275 If you don't people will sooner or later switch to another camera brand. You need to find a balance - like for example provide some functions like bulb timer or focus breathing compensation, but leave the improved af for the next generation of camera.
Just disappointing about the shutter speed. I understand it’s a massive amount of sensor data to process but why isn’t the electronic shutter faster than the mechanical?
Dear Ted, Thank you for the video, here some questions: What do you mean by ISO sensitivity which you said have been improved in this new camera model, as ISO does not change the sensitivity of the sensor or the light coming into the camera? How can 15 stops of dynamic range be expressed with a bit depth of 14? P.S. Insects are also animals....
Sorry Ted. Against the tide and understanding that many like gear reviews, where is the Art of Photography? So many who love photography can't afford this constant stream of new advanced kit. Many who can will never use all the myriad of controls and options. I am entirely happy with my 3 y.o. kit which does all I need. I really enjoyed your talks with the legend Ralph Gibson and like your older videos when photography and photographers are discussed. How about looking at the new wave of photographers for example? That said; still a fan!
Sadly gear reviews are what get the clicks and that's the revenue stream. The camera market is full of people who are interested in cameras and in only in photography to a much lesser extent. It is easier to critique and talk about a camera than it is to talk about image making and photography as a creative discipline. Sadly it seems lots of people want to know about arcane technical specs, but have no interest in, for example, the images that emerging photographers are making. Some years back this channel talked a lot about particular photographers, but if you check how many clicks those videos got it is easy to see why it is now more reviews of gear.
As a hobby wildlife/nature photographer the A1 is the natural/ideal choice but far out of reach price wise. The big take from the A7rV launch is the new AI chip. Olympus and Canon already have this more advanced item recognition but it has been lacking on Sony's (from lack of hardware it now seems), so since autofocus performance is so important for Sony I would guess all new cameras from Sony will now get this new chip and that renders the current A1 somewhat "obsolete" :) Still hoping for that high performance APS-C body that us hobbyist wildlifers could afford
I'm hoping they make a A7C II with the new rear screen (quality articulation and size) - improved awb - sensor cover - front dial. £2500 hopefully (my budget) 😆 could care less about the 8K - I shoot 1080 for social media 😆
@@theartofphotography oh! I stand corrected. I knew it was done digitally, but I assumed that there wasn’t enough pixels to do the zooming, i.e. there would be too much quality loss with only 10mp
I see only autofocus improvement at its best in this camera and you rightly pointed that why this upgrade can't be effected in Sony A1 Mark two!! Yes, Sony has come up with revolutionary camera system with their different categories of full frame staff but in doing so they put into these systems something that remains strange like they are too sticky not to incorporate a fully articulating screen and an easy to use less complicated menu system for a very long time and they get world of criticism for not listening to the users!! But it's enterprising that Sony is always a top brass when it comes to research and development of the newer equipments!! Every other camera companies don't have cameras which are fully equipped and they struggle more to put almost everything in a single camera , perhaps it's a business tactic to see more in another equipment than in one, Sony probably have also this in their mind and they are good at many sides like this Alpha R-V but in the video section which other R series is meant for disappoints in this latest model despite high resolution view finder and advanced articulating screen, but will it bring happy-at-last customers?!! I'd like to see video shoots from R-V to watch how much jitters this one bring forth!! People are ready to pay but they definitely dislike to buy the same thing with little improved on time and again and I here's why people ready to break bank once for a Leica rather buying another of the same improved Leica and Leica have no dearth to catch the greed of customers to have one and sleep almost for a lifetime with the dreaded lergy of losing money again sooner for a better in the same category!!
Great video, thanks! Interesting direction cameras are moving in, AI automation and all that. I think I’ll stick to film, my old fuji xt2 and simpler times 🥹
Ansel Adams would get this camera not for vlogging(stupid vloggers) this is a photographers camera we're just privileged to video capabilities. Video stabilization is my least concern, if I'm going to make a video production I'll invest in the A7S III, FX3, FX6 or even FX30. If I want stabilized video I'd get a gopro hero 11. This A7R V is still photography first camera and we are so spoiled nowadays with so many tech advancements and choices(other brands but I'm a Sony guy) we just become too nit picky focus on the gear not the joy of photography with whatever gear we have. It is a joy to have new tech, I came from using Pentax back then I loved it and I love using my A7 III now.
Really a shame that in now 2023 Sony can’t make a more intuitive interface. And speaking of the screen the articulations are cool but the resolution is less than stellar…still. Look at Canon has done with the R6 II. Very intuitive interface and menus and the rear screen is bright and gorgeous to look at. I think this is a preview of things to come in the Canon R5 II, and it will be interesting to see how else that model will compare to this Sony. Too bad about that Canon lens strategy though.

Yes yes, we will love to see the review.
Sony A7r V. The price corresponds to the quality. Respect Ted.

The Sony A74 and Sony 7R5 together would make a great hybrid setup
Don't you think the A7RV beats the A7IV for video and stills? The IBIS stuff seems amazing for video.
Wow what a review, I loved it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on that camera.
Hopefully the a9iii will have a ~30MP sensor with 6K60p internal (RAW) recording and oversampled 4K60/120p with full sensor readout.

This as good as the Sony a1?
It would be nice to see a review of this Sony A 7r V against Canon R 5
More Beard Ted, we want to see more beard!💪🏾
I'm hoping they make a A7C II with the new rear screen (quality articulation and size) - improved awb - sensor cover - front dial.
£2500 hopefully (my budget) 😆
could care less about the 8K - I shoot 1080 for social media 😆
Loving the beard, Ted
ALL THINGS ASIDE, LOVING THE BEARD!!!
What's your review on Nikon D5600 please?
Looking good.
The a7siii / fx3 won’t get focus breathing compensation because it doesn’t have enough megapixels!
Breathing Comp is done digitally - not by re-scaling the sensor area. It's on the FX6, which is a 10 megapixel sensor.
@@theartofphotography oh! I stand corrected. I knew it was done digitally, but I assumed that there wasn’t enough pixels to do the zooming, i.e. there would be too much quality loss with only 10mp
I see only autofocus improvement at its best in this camera and you rightly pointed that why this upgrade can't be effected in Sony A1 Mark two!! Yes, Sony has come up with revolutionary camera system with their different categories of full frame staff but in doing so they put into these systems something that remains strange like they are too sticky not to incorporate a fully articulating screen and an easy to use less complicated menu system for a very long time and they get world of criticism for not listening to the users!! But it's enterprising that Sony is always a top brass when it comes to research and development of the newer equipments!! Every other camera companies don't have cameras which are fully equipped and they struggle more to put almost everything in a single camera , perhaps it's a business tactic to see more in another equipment than in one, Sony probably have also this in their mind and they are good at many sides like this Alpha R-V but in the video section which other R series is meant for disappoints in this latest model despite high resolution view finder and advanced articulating screen, but will it bring happy-at-last customers?!! I'd like to see video shoots from R-V to watch how much jitters this one bring forth!! People are ready to pay but they definitely dislike to buy the same thing with little improved on time and again and I here's why people ready to break bank once for a Leica rather buying another of the same improved Leica and Leica have no dearth to catch the greed of customers to have one and sleep almost for a lifetime with the dreaded lergy of losing money again sooner for a better in the same category!!
Dude, I love your beard. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great video, thanks! Interesting direction cameras are moving in, AI automation and all that. I think I’ll stick to film, my old fuji xt2 and simpler times 🥹
It’s just for auto focus
best in class
Look at that beautiful beard. Crushing it!
The beard is working for you.
Looks quite large!
Ansel Adams would get this camera not for vlogging(stupid vloggers) this is a photographers camera we're just privileged to video capabilities. Video stabilization is my least concern, if I'm going to make a video production I'll invest in the A7S III, FX3, FX6 or even FX30. If I want stabilized video I'd get a gopro hero 11. This A7R V is still photography first camera and we are so spoiled nowadays with so many tech advancements and choices(other brands but I'm a Sony guy) we just become too nit picky focus on the gear not the joy of photography with whatever gear we have. It is a joy to have new tech, I came from using Pentax back then I loved it and I love using my A7 III now.
Really a shame that in now 2023 Sony can’t make a more intuitive interface. And speaking of the screen the articulations are cool but the resolution is less than stellar…still. Look at Canon has done with the R6 II. Very intuitive interface and menus and the rear screen is bright and gorgeous to look at. I think this is a preview of things to come in the Canon R5 II, and it will be interesting to see how else that model will compare to this Sony. Too bad about that Canon lens strategy though.
