What do you think about the "one NEW Major Feature"???

[@razafiarisonmichael4421]

It's a crazy feature! Instead of putting dual diode in every pixel they found a way to compensate it in software. And it's good for future AF updates because it unlocks any AI AF possibilities with just firmware updates instead of waiting a new camera with faster processor. A processor working aside of the main processor instead of making it busy and overheat with the time is a good thing. Thank you for the great preview !

[@ricardomonteiro5555]

The new features are great. but i have a question, why don't they make cameras with the AI image processing technology used in smart phones? like the crazy stuff that an iPhone or the google pixel can do? wouldn't this take things to a new different level?

[@unknownKnownunknowns]

Won’t drive me to sell my a7rii for landscape nor switch from Canon for sports. This is an amazing landscape camera, but R5 blows this away as an all-subject, high MP still and hybrid camera.

[@im.js.17]

I like the new features, but the screen takes the cake. I'm one of the few that don't like flip out screens, and this screen for me is the best "hybrid" option available. I am hoping that future alpha cameras get the same usability this screen offers with its ability to articulate like it does.

[@ragdoll7095]

Definitely the freedom of new screen rotating, and no conflict with side-kick gimbal head finally

[@kfloyd824]

A7RIV owner here… thank you for this, I truly appreciate it. I do t do much sports photography, but this focus system is going to be clutch for weddings when your subject is working through the crowd. Keep up the great reviews!

[@froknowsphoto]

great point.

[@jonasgillmann]

@@froknowsphoto definitely an awesome camera for photos and a huge improvement for video but I'd really like to see a hybrid camera with a stacked ~30MP sensor AND uncropped full sensor readout oversampled video. 6K60p uncropped oversampled and 4K60(/120p) should be within the realm of possibilities when the Canon R3 is also able to do it even if the body is larger!

[@willypupo89]

@@jonasgillmann did you just describe the A9iii? 😅

[@jonasgillmann]

@@willypupo89 Well if the a9iii turns out to be just that than yeah I guess so :D Hopefully the a9iii will actually use a ~30MP sensor though. 24MP is great if speed is all you want but a slightly higher resolution sensor would be very welcome. A nice middle ground!

[@johnpatricklim4509]

Does the a7r4 shoot really well with astrophotography...?

[@tdawg719]

I’m glad he mentioned focus bracketing. I’ve been looking at the info on this camera for a while and no one mentioned it. The fact that it’s in body in a Sony now is actually a HUGE deal

Hi. First I Love your videos thank you. I would really love to see a setup video for those of us just getting into the mirror less camera world and starting with this camera, it’s packed with such a large menu and I’m new to Sony. Thank you

[@youuuuuuuuuuutube]

That screen is the best of both worlds. Game changer.

[@JsGarage]

Was wondering when the rear screens would work this way. Seems the best solution overall.

[@Hsukhaybir]

As A7R IV owner and stills shooter I’m disappointed .. Sony focused on improving feature thats not the first priority for stills shooters and that’s what the R series for! As you mentioned camera can lock on in everything I don’t need these silly train and cars options as much as I need better ISO performance in low light .. I didn’t want to see too much effort in enhancing videos which I’m not going to use more often over enhancing sensor for stills and action in second place, again this is R not S .. it’s for landscapes, wild life, Astro, which all Depends In sensor performance for stills. They could have improved image quality a lot better by using stacked sensor that will give me much better ISO and at least 15FPS as an actual upgrade to the sensor performance since resolution is not changed ! Unless Sony is intentionally planing to shove up video capabilities over stills in every camera since there’s a growing demand for video as one of their officials says .. I don’t understand this upgrade, and it’s just a camera with better AF for me.

[@zegzbrutal]

I think Sony was thinking to make a Canon R5 killer, but don't want to threaten a1. Thus Sony use the cripple hammer

[@Hsukhaybir]

@@zegzbrutal exactly .. protect the A1 for now and maybe preparing A9 iii and A1 ii .. that explains why they don’t provide even the simplest firmware updates.

[@ladmanstudiosphotography]

I'm here for the "Train detection" lol.

[@Remmerboy]

finally a screen screen that can rotate the way i wanted. best of both world (old and new)

[@Mike-fs3bv]

For a non Sports camera it did an outstanding job of tracking and keeping on the subjects.

[@hondahoon2479]

Absolutely it did

[@FrankP83]

even before the Sony official release 🤣

[@joecarney7258]

In reality, your client will never know the difference between any work shot on the A7RV and the A7IV for photo or video PERIOD. Yes, The screen is amazing on the A7RV, but let's be real that should be a standard feature on EVERY sony camera. If you're a serious photographer you wouldn't be watching this video and already own the A1 and are pissed off that you don't have a dope screen that should have been on every camera 4 years ago. For someone like me who shoots mainly video but is a passionate photographer, the A7IV is way better bang for your buck considering Im not wasting 1,500 dollars. I could take a vacation at that point... you get my point.

[@TexasPelican]

Thank you for the reminder about trains and tracks!! Keep reminding folks, you could save lives!!!!

[@sahayaantojoyroshan_rmiyrs1994]

Actually speaking a7iv is enough in my opinion if you still need 61mp a7riv is a great option I think, but welcoming a new generation camera is acceptable

[@christianisaacjones]

Sounds like a killer camera. Seeming more video & photo centric than we all thought. Also 7fps bursts aren’t very fast. I’m surprised.

[@nogerboher5266]

I mean, the a7IV has only 33MP sensor and it only shoots 6.33 FPS uncompressed/lossless compressed RAW, even with the fastest CFe card on the market. Only shooting in fully compressed RAW gets you those marketed 10 FPS... I'm guessing the A7RV is the same.

[@christianisaacjones]

@@nogerboher5266 Thats a fair point. Im just thinking about canon and there speeds, even in the r5

[@Battlem0nk]

Wonder what kind of "photocentric" cases where more than 7fps burst are needed.

[@nogerboher5266]

@@Battlem0nk Not many, really. Across all photography fields, over 90% of photography is shot in singles, especially the higher up the pyramid you go, towards the big names in photography.... It is only in very, very, very specific cases, where photographers shoot in continuous mode - and even when they do shoot in continuous, it's usually just to get additional shots. The only fields where photographers consistently might want to or in some cases need to shoot in continuous modes, are ''blue collar photographers,'' shooting sports, wildlife, weddings and similar... But these people make up for less than 5% of the entire photography industry. The whole ''THIS CAMERA CAN SHOOT THIS MANY FPS AND THAT CAMERA CAN SHOOT THAT MANY FPS!!'' is a marketing scheme for the average consumer (and for blue collar photographers), over 90% of photographers neither need nor ever shoot in anything other than single shot mode, again, especially the further up you start looking into the photography pyramid.

[@christianisaacjones]

[@techbandit2785]

Dude with the fro pack and with my new canon r6 I feel like a pro 😊I only bought it because I saw your review and I pulled the trigger

[@johnsoncityaerialphotograp7201]

Things are looking good with this tech for the a9 III.. stick that a7IV’s 33mp sensor but the crazy fast readout stacked version in it.. gold

[@vads4683]

For sports Sony A1 30fps and stacked sensor is still king. But that new screen is cool for vertically angled photos as well as standard horizontal angles, that you don't have to look from the side like the older flip outs.

[@Katzeblow]

When is the Sony a1 replacement coming out I want to by the a1 in January

[@Ataraxia_Atom]

A1 is like 2x the price. Of course it's king. An like the other commenter, I'm hoping to be able to pick one up when the A2 comes out.

[@gilcarag274]

The A1 with that screen would make it the perfect camera even if I won’t be able to buy one.

[@lemmonsinmyeyes]

train spotting is real big in europe, every time im on a train I always see people taking photos of them. Also, fast cars like at a raceway or drift/rally? yeah its smart to have that lock on for the same reasons, I want a photo of this car, and it moves fast, next to other ones. sounds similar to the soccar game. dont understand the confusion

[@Elvis_Pond5]

Great video 👍 Pulsating autofocus problems indoors are from flickering lights - typically LED and fluorescent lighting. Similarly, at night outdoors LED lights on structures and vehicles will jam the autofocus mechanism. Also, at your sporting shoot, there was a long LED video display in the background with flickering lights so, that may have helped to confuse autofocusing onto the wrong person -- just a thought 🤔

[@Archonsx]

so they basically improved nothing, same camera for more money, why are companies so scammy nowadays?

[@keithmonday5155]

Great review Jared. I was considering the Rv for studio portraits, but will stick with the A1. It produces excellent results and you can’t beat the all around performance.

[@Pkfan72]

Please don’t waste your money upgrading to this camera. I returned mine this camera does not offer you better immage quality and clarity as they advertised. AI chip not sure what it is doing but still I have got many focus issues on my photos

[@mikni4069]

I’ll probably get this as it’s actually an upgrade of my current. And I don’t need the fast fps with massive rolling shutter. Then I rather get a A9iii or A1

[@stefan_becker]

No, Canon is definitively not an option because they don't seem to allow 3rd party af lenses.

[@dylanfgarrison]

You have to have 4K 60p in EVERY camera to shoot slowmo real estate videos of course. Duh. But why settle for that when 4K 120p exists?

[@jpmcgreg]

I have an a7iv and use it primarily for video and I want to get into photography as a business. Just trying to get others input if it would be worth the upgrade.

[@BrandonColePhotography]

Yea but with the R5 you need the lenses and with no 3rd party support for lenses, your paying way more for canon now then Sony

[@froknowsphoto]

I can afford it as a pro

[@zegzbrutal]

Sony 1st party lenses aren't cheap either. 3rd party is only welcome for enthusiasts. And Canon has the EF line up to support. RF has ok high end & low end lens, with EF filling the mid range for the time being.

The Sony A7RIV was the first full-frame Sony camera that didn't have that 30-minute video recording limit.

[@juliogutierrez8077]

That pulsating focus happened to me with a 24 1.4 GM and the A7r III and I had to return the lens, Sony told me the it was because of an option on the menu that was new by the time that lens came out. Probably not good communication between a new lens and an old camera

Lowlight : I fear that for low-light (iso 40'000) the a7r3 (42mp) might still be considered better then A1 and A7R5 (I'm specialized in creating A2 sized Fine Art Prints -in monogrome). If Buffer, AF and price out of the way how would You say (best first ) R3 R5 A1. or 1 3 5 ? What are Your thoughts or experiences ?

[@ajalbetjr]

...If I hadn't gotten into Bird and Wildlife a year ago (sorry Jared! :P ) and bought an A1, this would be my dream camera... As it is this will be my 'backup' camera to my A1; the A7RV is a far better '2nd camera' option than the A7IV. BIG FEATURE NOT MENTIONED: For videographers out there, Focus Breathing Compensation(!!) is now offered, along with Focus Mapping, though Sony mentions that lens software updates will be necessary... The new fast access menu is a Godsend to many of us Photographers who also do video... The video looked great, and can't wait to try it Thurs and Friday in New York at Sony Creative Space!

[@DrUndoTattoo]

Excellent video as usual Jared. I have a question I have about a six month old Sony a 74 I bought it primarily for the video capabilities and I do like that 35 megapixel photo side. Now this a sevenR4V has 61 megapixels it looks like the video will be about the same maybe a little bit of auto focus which really hasn’t been a problem for me but I’m wondering with that 61 megapixel make a big difference in the quality and sharpness of my photographs. Or do you think I’d be just fine keeping the E 35 megapixel a seven IV

Good review. I shoot track & x-country races & the AIV works fine for me, despite lower fps. I’m not upgrading. Also, for events & portraits I don’t think the V will make a difference, but I enjoy watching these reviews 😊.

[@MannyG32968]

As a Birder Photographer... it make sense for the upgrade from the A7RIV. Thank you.

[@rickymcc8624]

For me this a7Rv makes perfect sense. I'm 90% stills but shooting some video. My a7iv is excellent but this is looking better again with an option to crop to APS-C/26Mp occasionally when wanted. I'm buying one and selling my near 3yr old a7iv for sure. For video this may not be the absolute best, but I also have/use a FX3. Ditto for speed/sports. I used to own an a9 but sold that at time of buying my a7iv. I originally planned to buy an a1 in 2022, but the a7iv, added new stuff (eg focus breathing), so I bought that at less than half the cost of an a1. Now, a1 bodies can be bought at a discount to the original £6.5k, I feel that an a1 makes little sense, given a likely mkii improved version in 2025? Specialist tools geared to specific use cases seems to be to be better IMO than a single 'do-it-all' a1 that is nearly as good as the dedicated body for that niche ..... ie..... a9iii, FX3 and a7Rv. Last month I bought an a9iii and love it. Super fast, great in almost every respect bar perhaps absolute resolution. Unbeatable for sports stills, no rolling shutter for fast pans snd great stability in video. So, now that there are serious discounts to be had on an a7Rv, it makes the perfect body to add to my FX3 and a9iii cams. Also for video, interview shots etc, with 3 bodies I can shoot decent multi-cam video (all timecode synced via Deity TC-1 boxes with sound optimised via 'serious' mikes to a separate Sound Devices MixPre recorder). Things always get better, so in years to come I will probably be trading in a body from time to time to keep abreast of technology. But only when I feel I'm really missing out and not just for the sake of it. I learnt it usually costs more to be an early adopter. That old kit which still meets your current needs is worth hanging onto. That no matter how smart the camera or lens etc they are only 'tools'.It''s still up to you as the 'creator' to leverage any system to make great work. Knowing that it's you the 'artist' that makes the real difference, and not the latest 'wiz-bang' tech, can help save funds and sanity.

[@harryvuemedia5106]

After the sony video, will watch your video Jared. Never been so hype up for a new a7R camera overall. The a7RIV wasn't a big and major upgrade from teh a7Riii, but the a7RV is like a crazy new upgrade!!!!

[@froknowsphoto]

the a7R IV was a MAJOR upgrade over the a7R III, huge in fact.

[@wedrick_dc16]

@@froknowsphoto agreed! Currently own the a7R3, a73 and now an A74 and the 4 is a huge upgrade from the 3. For photos the upgrade gap is a bit smaller from the r3 as I took both my r3 and the 4 out to the pacific air show with a 2x teleconverter and found that the 4 had better tracking but the r3 sharper images. Check offerup, you can get a iv for a good price.

Sony did a fantastic job updating the 7R line so that now the 7R4 goes down a couple of hundred bucks and then the 7R3 would fall even further in price so that finally I could go ahead and buy a 7R2 used from Ebay.

[@7inrain]

You don't like birding? I feel deeply offended now so I'm not going to comment. Ha, there you have it! Ok, back from that (really terrible attempt of a) joke. I have an A7R III for my bird photography and I always wanted a second body for other stuff. This particularly because switching between a long lens like the 200-600mm and something else in the field is annoying af. I considered several cameras, like a used A7 III, like an A6700 (yes, APS-C) or even an A7 IV. There was always something I didn't like. A few days ago I was at my photo dealer and just for the fun of it I asked him for the price of the A7R V. Big mistake (or not). He consulted his pocket calculator and then tossed out a number where I just couldn't say No. Now I am the proud owner of that camera and it instantly became my primary birding camera as the autofocus is so much better than in the A7R III.

[@cristirenault]

Not impressive. Is just a small evolution from the previous model.

Are the new AI processor balance stacked sensor ans speed of AF of A1? Here in this video players moving fast but they are far and goes from left to right mostly, so camera don´t have to change focus distance so much. I have big beetle in my head what will be better canera. I´m feeling A1, but used still more expensive than new A7R5. I´m amateur who is technical enthusiast but shoot only for pleasure from it.

[@grapefruitdream]

Love your videos Bud 🙏🏼 Question - why don't you put your ISO onto Auto for those situations where players are running in and out of shadows to nail exposure instead of letting them go +/-1?

i think we're starting to approach another plateau here, as this camera doesnt feel that much better than its predecessor. The same way latest dslrs didnt differ much from one another as they were comming up, sony's mirrorless cameras seem to be doing the same... until they start bringing stacked sensors all around or computational features that one can actually relly on. What do you think? Or maybe they got the technology and they're just waiting for the competition to catch up so they can keep bringing money in for longer time before making big steps again. Idk... if i were a 7riii/iv shooter wanting to upgrade, i'd probably jump straight to the a1 because this wouldnt be worth the cost. The tilt screen is very neat though

I see a bit the same pattern as you. But moreover it is accentuated by bs from Sony. This camera is easily able to shoot 12fps uncompressed raw and that's bugging me. It's just that Sony doesn't want the R line to compete with the A9 line. That's bs from the manufacturer. I could be interested to get this 61mpx sensor coming from 42mpx sensor, but I can't accept to go from 12fps to go down half of this. Do I look like a stupid or what... Since the Riv the burst mode is more and more crippled. Burst modes: A7Rm2 < A7Rm3 > A7Riv > ARv So since the R3 something wrong happened as the hierarchy isn't following the right order.

soon Sony will have a camera for super lazy which will click by itself

[@actionphotopassion5082]

I don't get it. The more the A7R versions are released and the slower they get in term of burst shooting. That's the classic move from Sony again. Give goods while withdrawing some other goods. 4 fps to 6 fps in raw... Errr that's what was giving the A7Rm2 with 42mpx sensor. It doesn't make much sense except if we understand that Sony doesn't want this R line to compete with the A9 line... Which is bs and stupid as those cameras aren't targeting the same public... Anyway 4 fps to 6FPS very nice regression. For the rest I'd say the end of the random 30sec bulb is a godsend, but not sufficient to a replacement. The detection of cars, motos, trains why not, but it's not like if we weren't able to get good images during track days or rally outings before AI. 8k video? Really... Like if 4k is everywhere and for everyone already. 9mpx EVF is nice but crippled, but nice. Well it's a refined A7Riv that will be giving the same level of quality images. For anybody already having an A7Riv, sorry but I'm still searching what are the improvements in term of stills shooting.

A9 line is dead. A1 replaced them. A7r5 having slow burst is Sony cripple themselves to protect a1.

As a Sony fan (as well as a fan of almost everything else ...) this was quite helpful. Thank you!

How is the high ISO performance? I’m curious about how it would do for weddings.

[@kenjiyamamoto8765]

its very bad,. look at those 8K iso,. its so grainy,. my canon R6 12,800iso is much cleaner in sony a7r5 8K iso,.

[@froknowsphoto]

@@kenjiyamamoto8765 what are you talking about? The 8,000 is perfectly fine

[@kenjiyamamoto8765]

@@froknowsphoto its not looking great to me,. im a wedding photographer,. its so much noise and grain from what i see on your example JPEG,. the skin details is already washed out,. its probably good for Portraits studio shoot or food photography, and landscape,. but for wedding events? i don't think so,. the file size are so big,. the low iso performance is very poor,. A7iv is much better camera for wedding events,.

[@djsusan00]

As a person who just uses a a6000, the menu is great. I never used the full frame sony cameras so I'm not sure if they use a different menu system, but why not just keep it the same? I agree on that part.

@jared where are the RAW file uploads for that temple game u shot PEOPLE WANTED TOO TRY THEM AND & etc

[@coldcoffee5487]

I mostly film gym HIIT class workouts/crossfit training so I'm thinking this might not be the Sony upgrade for me. Coming from an a7iii. Wondering which Sony camera to upgrade to

[@themediocrephotographer1301]

I’d imagine an A7 IV might be solid for you. But idk if it will be as much of an upgrade as you’d want

[@STUDIOLEX]

What's is your experience with rolling shutter issues in combination with photo's? I mean... I have read that this camera has issues with rolling shutter and video, but is this also noticeable with taking photo's. Sports photography is my man thing...

[@mikewoodman11]

Great videos Fro! Does this have any 1080p video formats? Thanks.

[@mikemendoza750]

Where do I find this "Train Detection"??

[@johnnyViDeO]

Is this a mirrorless camera?

[@onlyonecannoli3952]

I feel that Sony and the rest of the camera plutocracy are fairly quickly paving the way for their own obsolescence. At a time when phones are pushing the envelope on computational photography, these mirrorless companies are digging their own graves by not making computational photography a priority. Sure, they have some functions here and there, but being relegated to only using external programs to post process raw images, or having to use external programs to merge pixel shift images, or having to use external software for focus stacking, or not including any of defocusing options for creating blurred backgrounds with slower lenses...things that cell phones can do...just to name a few, is just a recipe for disaster. Admittedly, I prefer using mirrorless cameras for shooting action or controlling light (modifiers, etc.) However, cell phones are smaller, lighter, provide pretty good image quality under most circumstances, and offer a whole host of post-processing, along with ease of sharing, that makes them way more attractive and useful. I feel that the mirrorless market is likely to be dead in the next 5 years unless it adapts. There will always be photographers that will need/want the form factor of a camera, but for the rest of us 99%-ers, phones will likely replace our mirrorless cameras for all of our needs.

[@zegzbrutal]

Err no. Smartphone has optical limitations, they can't do telephoto. And due to computational limitations, you can't do quick+high quality burst on smartphones.

[@jean-phil]

Interesting comment but in the end, I think smartphones have already killed most of the market for the average consumer since a few years. Most people seem to share on instagram where the image size is so small. I don't understand why but whatever here we are. In the end, I think nowadays cameras are for professionals and enthousiasts that are used to look at their photos on bigger screen such as a PC monitor. Most people seem to just want to take pictures and share them quickly on a facebook story and call it a day. To each their own.

[@HopeAwakened]

Am I the only one curious about Steph Mantis?

[@MaxwellsUnearthly]

Dang, this camera sounds really good, and I'm in the market for a new one. My only gripe would be 4K 120, but I've seen the 1080p 120 on this, and it looks impressive, not sure then that I would need the 4K 120. Should I wait a little longer for newer cameras or is this the latest from Sony's flagship lineup? I'm in no real rush, but it would be nice to have a new camera by May 2023.
