Sony a7R V User Experience Review

[@JasonVong]

Worked super hard on this. Wanted to add a storytelling flair on top of the usual infotainment style we normally do. We had a lot of the fun making this so we hope you guys will enjoy watching it as well! 😁 And a gentle reminder, I am not doing any giveaways. Any message you receive on KZbin about prizes are scam bots.

[@danielzb]

Half way through and enjoying it so far.

[@JasonVong]

@@danielzb thank you sir!

[@puigalejandro24]

Really good video! The infomercial-like sections with the video settings and the 4 axis multi angle LCD screen had me laughing

[@Challengerscatpack50]

This was great! You did a better job at selling it than Sony! You had me at “bug autofocus.”

[@DaveStern2]

this video is NEXT LEVEL!!! amazing. LOVED IT (and the info!).

[@BoomTharis]

The narrative of this video is very good Jason! Really appreciated the hard work!

[@johngan9000]

@JasonVong which is better a7 r5 or alpha 9 2?

[@ucx4241]

The best real world review on the A7r5 I’ve seen to date. As an events photographer I was keen to see how the camera performed in low light compared to the A7r4 (which was disappointing to be honest) and you’ve been able to answer that question where other KZbinrs could not. Most of them read off a spec sheet but yours was genuine real world in a busy location. Nailed it. Love your energy, humour and style Jason. I’m now a subscriber. Look forward to more of your videos.

[@zyxyuv1650]

It's funny how when the R comes out it's always the first of each family line and it has the newest innovations of any Alpha at the time, but then when the non-R comes out the non-R is significantly more updated and has newer features and the R seems a bit behind in certain ways until the next generation again.

[@JasonVong]

it's like each model want to outdo each other every time

[@imreallydamntired]

thats what kills the R for me, I want the R line as I do photography but I know deep down that the A7v will be improved and cheaper than the rV and the extra resolution of the R is a nice to have but not needed imo

[@Mobious1]

nailed it

[@marumaruko6512]

[@hirostvjapan]

Best video that I saw for Sony a 7R V and made me want to get one

[@WayneLLC]

You covered everything - comprehensive coverage of photo and video centric features, to testing of heating and sharing of afterthought to who can best benefit from this upgrade. And most importantly, it looks like you are having fun; especially happy to see that as a longer term subscriber of your channel. Thank you Jason!

[@מיכאלקונטרוביץ]

What a BEAST of a camera! As a stills shooter only, this is really a perfect camera! Combined with the GM lenses, which are super expensive, the results are insane! The boost in IBIS, the autofocus system, this PERFECT screen..

[@מיכאלקונטרוביץ]

The only problem I have is my VERY poor budget....

[@razafiarisonmichael4421]

@@מיכאלקונטרוביץ same here. Go for lenses first. Then you may have more choices on bodies later for your budget

[@מיכאלקונטרוביץ]

@@razafiarisonmichael4421 I have the "prehistoric" sony a6000 from 2014 with a decent set of crop lenses - sony 50 1.8, sony zeiss 16-70 f4 (it's a huge disappointment) and finally the cheap trash telephoto sony 55-210. I desperately need upgrade to my lenses, but this is also a problem in two directions: the first and a biggest problem is budget, and the second problem is that my hand is super shaky, so a monopod/tripod is a must, but this solution is not super convenient and comfortable, so I am forced to rely on image stabilization of the lense. However, nowadays almost all the digital photography manufacturers produce modern technology of IBIS in their camera bodies and the tendency of avoiding image stabilization in the lenses is spread out very quickly. This makes my situation more worse than ever....

[@razafiarisonmichael4421]

I mean if you need full frame cameras later, but FF lenses directly since it's the same mount. then buy the full frame body You can learn about focus as well. you dont necessarily need bird eye AF and fish AF to focus them with the newest camera AI. Because there is an option for that on older cameras, but you have to click your target.

[@EliInfante]

Great video Jason! It was so damn entertaining hahaha!

[@fjhphoto]

13:32 missing footage?

[@JasonVong]

or is it...?

[@danhasanewsn]

Great review! Loved the addition of Bink's Sake at 16:18

[@WynneSlayerGaming]

the editing is absolutely flawless

[@WynneSlayerGaming]

@@RodMacQuarrie dude literally no need to be rude, NOBODY is perfect and as a youtuber of three channels (and i do all the work and editing completely by myself) I KNOW how HARD it is and how much work a video requires to have such a great quality, so the work on this video is REMARKABLE and insane.

[@lucianomada5209]

Informative and entertaining as usual. You are by far one of the better photography reviewers in the youtube universe

[@linusdahl1]

This is my dream camera, it has everything I could ever want!

[@Photomeike]

Excellent review. This style reminds me of Kai and Lok and how they blend jokes and fun moments with narrative voice over. Well done!

[@JasonVong]

Miss the good ol digital rev days!

[@JB_Hobbies]

Dream camera. Probably won’t jump on the preorder train, but my A7RIII’s days are numbered.

[@viveksawhney5691]

I'm very excited for the A9 III after watching this. I think the AF improvements are perfect for that system. I'm not in a place to drop 6k on an A1 but I'm looking for an upgrade to my A7III.

[@lilymetcalfe97]

I’m in the same boat. Seems like the RV is a solid upgrade from A7III

[@pearlhatch19]

Always love your videos. It makes all reviews more fun and and entertaining to watch.

[@Madillusionist]

This is pretty much all the upgrades I've been wanting for my a7rii... 😍

[@loldart]

This honestly resolves almost every short coming I had with the A7riii. Which was the IBIS and the flip/tilt screen. Matching dual card slot is welcome and the improve EVF is nice. Improve AF is also welcome as I had so many missed shots when it come to wild poses. Improve AF and bird tracking will be most helpful once I get the 200-600mm G.(late 2023). I honestly don't think waiting for the A1 mkii would be worth it for my needs. As the extra cost could go to the 200-600mm. Or even other glass like the 14mm.

[@Jcruzinfit]

Ordered and can’t wait! The 8K, autofocus and most importantly for me is the flip screen!!

[@MattyTingles]

I was just about to order the A7s III today but saw this release. I do indoor studio videos, which would you suggest?

[@JasonVong]

Still a7S III

[@mchammer5592]

Been following you for so long but I LOVE this format of video!

[@TheThaiLife]

I'm really looking at your phone too. I love how well it does as a monitor and with the screen recording.

[@DaveStern2]

Vong!! Next level video, so great! You must never stop! I'm sure other guests saw you shooting that grasshopper and really wondered what was going on. Thanks for the quick summary, really helpful, and in great style too.

[@JasonVong]

They were really confused why I was so excited 😂

[@antant06]

Your reviews are fire 🔥🔥🔥

[@craiggillette4381]

Looks good. I haven't outgrown my A7Riv. Yet. I really like the upgrades here, especially the rear panel and lossless compressed RAWs most. Gotta love watching you taking advantage of these SoCal spots, Disneyland, Pasadena, San Marino for locations.

[@EricWongs]

Great review Jason!

[@MimiFrank]

I have an a7r iv, and for what I shoot (hybrid photo and video), the improved video specs alone make me think this would be a good upgrade. As it is, I was already in the market for a second camera, so it’s a no-brainer for me!

[@Thexderify]

Love this review Jason.

[@bokbokeh]

Vivienne is getting amazing at those b-roll shots! 😮

[@DjentleDjiant]

Such a fun vid, great job Jason!

[@cpb2255]

This review is funny AF! 🤣🤣🤣 i can’t afford this thing but I love watching your reviews! great job as always, sir!

[@WarChortle]

As an A7III owner... all of these features look great, but I think I'll invest in some lenses.

[@JasonVong]

always invest in lenses!

[@razafiarisonmichael4421]

Me too. Lenses first since my A7RIII makes great photos. Then I'll buy bodies only when my lenses needs will be filled

[@terbang78]

Jason, another highly entertaining and informative review done brilliantly. If one were searching KZbin and a list of review videos came up, yours would be the first one I’d always pick. Great filming and editing. Thanks.

[@clint_davis]

Just putting it out there, I think you got a future in the local car dealership advertising landscape. Real talk, great review!

[@JasonVong]

I will look into that when KZbin doesn't pan out for me 🤣

[@dunganphotography]

Love all your videos, keep up the good work

[@TwistedGlasses]

loool man one day before this video I made a quick search for rumors on the a7r V and I thought it would be release around 1Q 2023. When I first got the notification of your video I thought it was something like: here's what I (JW) would like to see in the sony a7r V. Then I was like: damn this is the real thing, I have to get some snacks and watch the whole video! Great content as always mate!

[@jeroenvdw]

Such a great camera, I want to wait for the A9III to determine which one I will upgrade to. I use an A7III for 3 years now, it's fine for most things I photograph, but higher speed and higher resolution is welcome.

[@jeffreyperez7731]

I’m writing this to you because you have used Sony equipment extensively. I’m using A7R5 along with Sony flash HVL-F60RM2 Sony FA-WRC1M Wireless Radio Commander. When I connect either of these units and turn them on. I started seeing a considerable lag when pressing the shutter and the shot being captured. Precisely, press shutter half way, EVF goes dark, appears to be looking for focus, and then the shot is captured. There is a delay. Turn the units off, no delay. I have searched around internet, forums, youtube and have not found a definite answer. I have come across some suggestions and have applied some of these but no solution. Thank you in advance for taking the time and addressing this issue.

I am getting this camera what all around card that's not expensive would you recommend?fantastic video.

[@michaeldugas8167]

What's the best place to learn everything about camera's and filming?

[@JUNEORJUNE]

Hi, I have a question: I just bought my SONY A7R4 last year from amazon. I wanna trade it in for the A7R5 because of the flip screen. Do you or does anybody know what are my options?

[@JasonVong]

Look up my guide on “Selling Cameras” your best option for the most money back is to sell the camera on your own and use the money to buy the next camera

[@mbenjamin292]

I hafto say I bet your the greatest father on this planet for real bro keep up your attitude and attention to detail 💯 👌 your the KING OF KZbin.😊

[@chaseadventures]

Jason as someone who is ready for an upgrade from an A7rii and is looking to do both adventure photography and filming with one camera would you suggest the A7rV for that? It seems like the A7siii is pretty clearly a better camera for filming but is lacking the megapixels I'd want for landscapes

[@dennisplotzke467]

Fantastic review! Love the humor 😄 and detailed coverage of the camera features.

[@CanOfToast]

“We’re not going to do a One Piece reference on this show” Proceeds to play Minato Mura in the scene 😂

[@Monuments_to_Good_Intentions]

So is the video 24mp as good as the a7iii for video in lowlight?

[@jamesprecious1035]

Nice work Jason. Very entertaining but also thorough review. Thanks..

[@TheThaiLife]

Wow, really great review. I love the full-size background to see the zoom in while you show the full picture. I have the A7IV but am lusting for this hard.

[@alphagritcreatives]

Super fun review! Love the energy

[@khalidAli-pw4rq]

Thanks for your review, it’s helpful, kindly tell me how you reflect the camera screen on the smartphone?

[@LeonMapz]

I want to focus more on both video and photo. Should I get this or the A1?

[@kurotaka007]

Jason… interested in your opinion on this? Would it make sense to trade in an A7RIV and A7Siii for a new A7RV? At the moment I think I have a unique benefit with the 2… but would you consider it an upgrade on both fronts? Thanks for your feedback.

[@markshirley01]

If Sony put that screen (same quality) on a A7C II - that will be fantastic. I hear the auto white balance is now usable.

[@johnangwin]

Best a7RV review so far! Thanks Jason.

[@kenn6592]

So, is the 7iv still a good upgrade from the iii for a stills only enthusiast?

[@illyas3052]

Quick question, why and what you attached your phone to camera? Can someone tell me

Oh and is it touch screen?

Hi, do you think it is good to buy now a sony 7R V or wait for a fture VI ?

[@kaisilva7154]

So in 2024 I'm looking to upgrade my camera and I'm mainly photo first enthusiast. Would you recommend the 87r4 or the a7r5? I am coming from an a7r2. I can get a used a7r4 for $1800 and the a7rv is 3499

[@Remmerboy]

the new screen looks like it can be retrofitted to older camera models that have hinges. do you mind using it :)

[@mamiandmila]

GREAT REVIEW! What is the attachment you had on the camera to let your phone sit on top of it?

[@zl-kx2do]

Thanks , i need to buy this now but plz give me advice wich lens u have? And speed flah?

[@digitalhome6575]

What? No love for the 10-bit 4:2:2? Perhaps this isn't as big as I initially thought? I'd dare to say that for an above-average hobbyist who does portraits and video, this thing is close to perfection, especially due to 10-bit 4:2:2 in video. I just finished grading some A7RIII footage, and it is always a huge challenge working with tonality.

[@NickDelDuca]

That's only 8K 4k is 4:2:2

[@kerryolson8627]

I would love to see a link to the accessories you use with the camera in this video.

[@SunDog5050]

B&H mentioned dynamic range of 15. Is that an improvement over the iv? If so could you see it?

[@RAMtrails]

have you done a video on using your cellphone as a monitor seen at 5:02?

[@italogiardina8183]

The OM-1 system with its dual flash attachment and focus stacking function along with a macro lens is the one for bugs.

As mentioned. Am excited to upgrade from the A7III. As I do like to crop my images often and the high resolution will help retain the details. Looks like this model is great.

[@kurotaka007]

Great review! Here in Kamakura, waiting for leaves to change. It’s been surprisingly very cool lately. I think I’ll hang on to A7RIV for a while. The only negative about Mapcamera is that most cameras have Japanese only menus. I think it’s been due to travel restrictions, thus decreasing their inventory of global cameras? Are you planning in a meet up in Tokyo? Be safe!
