The Sony a7R V is a high resolution mirrorless camera, combining an excellent sensor with a powerful autofocus system in a body refined over multiple generations of improvement. It lends itself to a wide range of photography, from portraiture and landscape work to wedding and events. Its cropped, slow readout 8K video is the only real weakspot in an otherwise hugely capable camera.

A broad range of photography requiring high resolution.;

Work that puts equal emphasis on video and stills.;

A bit like Coen brothers movies, Sony cameras can be good and then great, alternating between the two. But with the A7R V, it’s safe to say that it’s in the ‘great’ category, and maintains the position of the highest-resolution full-frame mirrorless camera available. However, while some features are geared towards sport and wildlife, it doesn’t offer the burst rates of the A9 II, and video is good, but not as good as what you get with the A7S III. So the A7R V appears to be a jack of all trades, but only a master of some.

Excellent autofocus; Impressive ISO handling; Versatile 4-axis touchscreen

It’s expensive; Requires high-quality optics; 4K video only up to 60fps
