Sony a7R V Final Review

[@6gwilliams]

As a longtime pro I have owned Sony A500, A7RII, A7RIII, A7III, A9, A7RIV and currently own A1, A7SIII and yes I added the A7RV. And I have never had dust on the sensor issues, ever. And yes I shoot all subjects all over the world, including in dusty, sandy places and yes I change lenses in the field. It is all about a few simple techniques in pre-cleaning with a blower bulb (including the rear of each lens), and proper mounting and dismounting lenses with the camera lens opening facing down to avoid dust on the sensor, and shielding the camera with my body when changing lenses in the wind. And my images dont have dust, just a fact. I have owned Nikon, Canon and Leica digital cameras as a pro of over 50 years in the business, and my Sonys have never had worse dust issues than any of them. Cheers and best to you both.

[@travelonward1811]

Honestly i'm not too big a sony fan boy. I work on the field as a travel photographer and videographer so i'll use whatever works but i couldn't agree more with this statement. Have owned every generation under the sun of sony and never had this dust issue there referring too.

[@madcat1007]

OOOh. You are my hero. Can I touch you?

[@2010SLP]

One minor correction: you do not need to tap the screen to turn tracking on and off in video. Just program one of the buttons for “Tracking On” in video mode, or better yet, program it for “Tracking on Toggle.” This will immediately address Jordan’s complaint at 08:22, and it works perfectly. The setting can be found on page 2 (“Focus Area”) of the purple Focus Menu section when you go to program a button via “Custom Key/Dial Set.” on page 3 of the yellow toolbox section. Admittedly, it’s hidden, but it’s there and it’s awesome.

[@jlwilliams]

One minor correction: you do not need to tap the screen to turn tracking on and off in video. Just program turbo encabulation in the “Marzel Vane” sub-submenu, in the purple section of the Double Secret Configuration menu, which you can access by sacrificing a chicken and hopping on one foot in a circle while chanting “Sony, Sony, Sony is our God.” Using the tracking functionality this way does require implantation of a very thin tungsten wire in your dominant eyeball, but the operation is almost painless and does keep you from noticing the dust specks as a bonus. So you see, it's actually very simple!

[@2010SLP]

@@jlwilliams I don’t disagree that Sony should never have buried this setting, but my point is that it is there and it works to perfection. Once you are aware of it, it takes very little effort to set it up the first time and then it’s always a single button press away from being toggled on or off.

It wasn't easy to save enough money to purchase an A7RV but I was able to finally afford one. I wanted this camera because of its AF and resolution. I am not into video much so I figured that, for portraits, family pics, landscape, it was the ideal camera. I haven't been disappointed. This camera is awesome. I have been watching a lot of videos about new cameras in the last couple of years. One thing is common among the different models. They all offer compromises. Enjoy shooting, everybody.

The a7rV can initialize tracking with a button in photo and video mode. Its called "Tracking on" and "Tracking on + AF On" for photo and "Tracking On" and "Trackin on Toggle" for Video on Page 22 in Custom Key assignment menu. It can also be set with Touch pad enabled with the thumb when you use the EVF. Im not a fan of using the delicate shutter to catch dust and debris. If something needs protection on a camera its the shuttermechanism. Just have one of those blowers with you and clean your sensor befor a shoot. 4K60 has a way faster readout speed than 4K30. You could use that and just export in 30 fps at the end. This is a phot camera first and i think its very good for the sensor if you think about how limited the rIV was

[@Jpeglism]

I think this is a "Photo-first All-round" camera, which has the best photo quality and absolutely good-enough-for-most video capabilities. The A1 is an "All-round" camera which does not win the best, but still always can stand on at least the second best place in almost every aspect. And for the S3 it's a video camera for sure.

[@SoftKitty0930]

I ordered the A7R V when it first released and it has been an absolutely treat to use for photography. I am glad Chris validated my opinion haha.

[@RobDTom]

Just more confirmation that you will ALWAYS have to compromise on the video or photo side of things. If you are primarily a still photo shooter, this camera looks awesome. If you shoot more video than stills, there are probably too many compromises. As someone who is finally making the switch to mirrorless, more for the video capabilities than anything, I am struggling to know which way to go (as I don't know how much video shooting I will wind up doing as it is pretty new to me).

[@halcyon1981]

You don't have to compromise, you can buy the A1 and get everything you want. It just costs more.

[@Jpeglism]

@@halcyon1981 Have a check on the Photons to Photos site and you would notice that everything comes with a price, and for the A1 it loses just a tiny bit of dynamic range, probably due to the design of stacked sensor. The same also applies to Z9 and A9. The high read out speed does cost a little bit on the IQ. And the A1/Z9 cannot do full-width 4k 120p read out like the A7S3 does. So... yeah, everything compromises, either here or there.

Awesome review! Upgraded from the R4 to the R5 and I am totally loving everything about the camera as a strict photo camera. I do zero video. I really love the improved ibis, evf, AF, pixelshift motion correction and that flip screen that lets you put in vertical mode (landscape shooters totally will love this). Also finally we have focus stacking and improved EVF. Not sure what I'd want out of a camera focused on stills.

[@progun1corn]

full width sample is pixel binning, its not as bad as line skipping sub sampled. It's basically same as A1, and from result the sharpness is like A7S3 in 4K so it would be great to use full width mode.

[@TommyHe]

Shutter closed while lens off and Focus Color changing are also available on A7IV, not new to A7rV.

[@findbinnu]

It's rare that I find Jordan making a mistake about some feature on a camera - but as Patrick Murphy-Racey demonstrates on his channel, A7RV does have Tracking On where you can use the use the joystick to initiate tracking, rather than the Touch screen. Even on the A7IV, if you use Touch Pad+Touch Panel (i.e. Both valid), and Spot Focus Area with Touch Tracking Active, you can use the rear LCD as a giant touch pad to move your Focus spot to your desired subject and initiate Tracking. So the criticism is unjustified, though as usual Sony could have explained or shown off these features more clearly.

Thanks! I’ll add a correction to the video description and set that up in my camera immediately! -Jordan

[@chriss2295]

The Ai AF system will make it’s way into future cameras. Where you at A7V?

[@RandumbTech]

The screen and EVF alone make it worth the upgrade from A7iv. Highly recommend shooting in 26MP RAW(M) mode which is more than enough for most people. The AWB is improved as well. I’ve compared the video compared to my A7iv and it’s virtually impossible to tell the difference unless pixel peeping. And rolling shutter is non-existent in 4K/60p with regular motion speeds. A7RV is a great camera and will be for many years to come.

[@MudvayneS10]

I truly dislike the screen situation on the a7iv and luckily they admitted that they were wrong, but another 1500-2000€ extra for the screen and the EVF is just not what I would want to pay. Better get some of the fancy lenses and wait for the a7v. 34mpx is just perfect... wished though it would have a high-res-mode aswell... but that mode on Sonys is still ... garbage sadly. Still a lot to improve.

I used my Riii for 4 years and i never get any major sensor dust. Nothing that i cant blow away anyway. Interesting to hear how many people suffer from this issue which makes me question if the lens changing technique is the issue here.

[@Kniesoor]

I get the feeling that the camera market is moving towards the phone market in terms of product strategy. Companies pump out bodies to cover the whole spectrum, which makes it increasingly more difficult to choose and next to that, iterations are following each other quite fast. Especially Canon is doing this with the R-line and the fast re-iteration of the R6. I would hope companies release fewer models and stand by those for multiple years with support and software updates. Could be more expensive, but it would give you more trust that you bought a piece of equipment that is not outdated within 2 years.

[@Aroundtheworld-ew6rx]

I didn't see any rolling shutters when the guy was running. I wish the rolling shutter example would have been more practical. It's as if you are saying a boat is bad for the water because if you rock yourself enough it tips over.

Been waiting for this review, ever since the A7R5 launch. Detailed but concise, and covers every basis I wanted.

[@oohms88]

What about the legendary IBIS? I feel this is the best new feature of this camera, and a change of direction for sony

[@twentyfifthjt7888]

If I just wanted less rolling shutter & didn't care for details & zooming in post. Would 1080p APSC/FF help at all? Like a pick your poison wherein I go 4K on less dynamic movement shots, then go 1080p since we're going to be seeing motion & motion blur anyway so slightly eff the details. I mean, I still consume most of my media between 480p/720p/1080p. Social media videos that require little brainpower & are ethereal pop-up in 360p sometimes. So 1080p is already a sweet spot. I only go 2.7K/4K when I want to see sweat & pores in dramatic media... like catwalks. Ugh.

Hi , Is the Full frame Xtra fine 26 MP JPEG also benefitting in Low light on A7R5 compared to 61 MP JPEG.

You can shoot in 61MP in good lighning for extra detail and resolution on A7R5 and switch to 26 MP for low light benefits if light goes down. i have seen and read that medium RAW benefit s in low light , but so should 26 MP jpeg too , just wanted to confirm with you on it .

You do realise the entire point of lossless compression is that it's full quality, right? That's the entire point, it's lossless. The only reason Sony kept the uncompressed format is because their camera processors aren't fast enough at doing lossless compression to keep up with their faster shooting modes.

[@BlueBomberTurbo]

A6600 and A7R IV came out around the same time, so many of the features are simliar. The biggest differences will be the body, viewfinder, resolution (including Pixel Shift), and readout speed issues. You're better off going with a used A9 for the money if you're looking at wildlife.

[@slam5]

@@BlueBomberTurbo aha, if I want to do a bit of portrait too. which will be better?

[@BlueBomberTurbo]

@@slam5 The main reason to move up to FF for portrait work is to get shallower DOF. Going to the A7R IV, you're also getting a lot more resolution. The question is: do you need either of those? Without them, it's very hard to see a difference between those cameras in the end result. Using APS-C, you're losing around 1 stop of DOF control vs FF, and adding 1.5x to the focal length. So a Sigma 56/1.4 on APS-C is equivalent to 85/2 on FF. A Sony 50/1.2 GM is equivalent to 75/1.6. So as you can see, 1.6 is about as shallow as you'll get on APS-C if you need AF, while you can get 1/2 on FF. With MF, there are 0.95 lenses that are roughly 1.4 on APS-C, and an 0.85 that's equal to 1.3, which is as fast as you're going to get. So it all depends on how far you want to blur out the background and potentially the subject's nose and even eyebrows on a close up headshot.

[@Ni5ei]

I'm using a clip-in filter inside my Sonys. Because it's millimeters in front of the sensor, dust doesn't show up in your images. I don't understand why Sony doesn't put the UV/Infrared filter a few millimeters in front of the sensor instead of right on top of it.

Upgraded from a7riii to v , and yes i need every megapixel for what i do so please stop telling me that 25 are enough , and everything is better except one thing that a lot of people mistake for an improvement in all cameras instead of a loss of flexibility. I mean the size increase , now with my hands it has become very uncomfortable and cannot use all buttons with my thumb without moving my hand. The old one was much better and anyone with big hands had no problem finding a myriad of put on grips and such ( found 16 in a 5 second search ). But what xan i do to make it smaller ? Nothing, so please stop that crap " it is to small in hand" , get an aftermarket grip ( did it with my rx1000. ) instead of saying size is good for everyone and if necessary can be buffed up so EVERYONE can use it comfortably. And before someone says it is not to big , i got a cramp after 2 min using my 70-200 f4 while never having that problem with the older smaller one.

Video Request. Hi dp review team :) can you please make a video regarding the best mirrorless camera to film wildlife as a priority so stills are not important at all, budget would be though thx

If I had an riva or riv i wouldn’t upgrade. I only did because I have an a6400. I love the camera so far and is a big upgrade.

It is so annoying for the electronic shutter to be that slow, not just for video. I like to shoot some of my fast glass wide open in bright daylight and I simply couldn't do that before without ND on any of my Sony cameras. I would have been stuck in that same situation with the a7RV again. So, I'm pretty happy with my purchase of a used A1 instead.

Did anyone feel the body get slightly warm with normal shooting? I’m trying to figure out why mine is getting warm. Thanks!

My A7RV when the dial its on movie and preset 1,2 or 3 its on auto exposure, i havent been able to put it all manual, its so annoying.

3:31 that’s just part of the ceiling lol, you can see more of them at the corners of the ceiling panel

[@BlueBomberTurbo]

I agree. Dust doesn't have a light and dark edge like in that frame.

What rolling shutter? There is no spoon.

[@GudieveNing]

A7Siv will be the one for pro video people who need perfection. Hopefully feature the same articulating display. My guess it will appear in March 2023. No rumour, but there is the IFA electronics trade show in Berlin then and it would make sense to show it there. I have an A7Siii and the fact Sony have not compromised on the video front is why it is so good.

[@gurugamer8632]

You really think it will come out this year ?

[@johnclay7644]

good review in 10mins on the Sony A7r V.

[@sfiron]

Don't you find the back screen to be too small for a good image and video review, in the field? I found the size of the monitor and the UI it offers a real issue in the field. I would have loved a bigger size camera and rear screen.

[@Yupthereitism]

It’s pretty standard

[@johndc7446]

It would be interesting if Sony will make a new 40+MP sensor camera. The a7r3 is a good camera but still lacks the modern features and build.

[@smooth111012]

This as good as the Leica W3?

[@MarS-dc2qx]

What’s a good sports camera?

[@nikoolix]

I don't understand why Sony still don't use the space to the left of the EVF for anything. I feel like the mode dial could be there, and the current mode dial location better used for something else.

[@JonathanPetersonlisten2EITS]

They do for the higher end models like the a9 or a1.

[@grumblewoof4721]

Should I ditch my canon R5 for the Sony A7R V ? I want the New Sigma 60-600mm super telephoto lens. Unfortunately this lens is not available for the Canon RF mount.

[@BlueBomberTurbo]

Depends on what else you need. If you need less jello, 20fps, or lenses like the 28-70 F2 or 85 F1.2, no. Otherwise, as you've noticed, Sony has a crazy big lens ecosystem that Canon is trying its hardest to avoid, along with better AF and IQ.
