Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

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

The Sony A7R V has been given a significant boost in comparison to the Sony A7R IV . Yes, the pixel count is the same, but the processor and AI Processing Unit enables some nice improvements, with the Eye AF being much more sensitive and snappy, and an expansion in the range of subjects that can be...

High resolution, Wide range of subject detection modes, High resolution viewfinder and 4-axis screen

High price, 1.2x crop in 8K video mode, Rolling shutter is an issue

We’ve become used to Sony raising the bar significantly with almost every new camera it releases, and the Alpha A7R V is no exception. In short, it’s ridiculously impressive in every imaginable way .

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.

Work that puts equal emphasis on video and stills.;

“The iPhone 14 isn't a huge upgrade compared to its predecessor. But with a great design, screen, performance, and cameras, that's far from a bad thing at all.”

Comfortable, high-end build, OLED screen looks fantastic, A15 chip performs great, Good camera upgrades, Dependable battery life, Helpful safety features

60Hz display, No telephoto camera, eSIM might be a pain for some

Hannah Stryker / Review Geek The iPhone 14 is the latest iteration of Apple’s flagship device. Since its launch, the iPhone has set the standard of what a smartphone is, what it does, and how it looks. Fifteen years later, it’s still doing that.

Top-notch cameras, Amazing display, Snappy performance, Great battery life

It's just "this year's iPhone"
