Sony Alpha 7R V Full-Frame Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera Body

Best all round camera ever . Image quality fantastic. I believe this is the only camera you would ever need

I have only had two days finding it difficult to program

I traded in Nikon Z 8 to get this camera and I have no regrets! It’s awesome, I love the size of the camera and the image quality is amazing! I’m really happy.

i used to be an Canon user but not anymore. this camera changed my whole perspective of Photography. it is way better now thank you Sony

Fantastic camera! Have been wanting it for a long time. The resolution and detail is insane - so crips and shart and so much detail! Wow!!! And the autofocus is just a gamechanger! Tracking animals, birds, fast moving cars, planes....... amazing! Absolutely amazing! And the amount of customisation you can do to set it up how you wan it is so good and helpful for workflow - amazing! Fanstastic camera and definitely lives up to the hype! Superb camera!!

I had been using an α7Riv for five years for bird and insect photography with just one lens, an FE 200–600 mm zoom, and was very pleased with the combination, both the 60 megapixels of the camera and the sharpness of the lens throughout the zoom range. Both had also been very reliable, especially considering the rough handling they were given in the field. The camera had taken over 300,000 pictures and, although it was still giving excellent results, mechanical wear on the controls was making them loose and liable to slip, and I had been missing some pictures when in a hurry, as you usually are when photographing birds. So when the time came to buy a new camera I naturally went for the α7Rv. It might not have had as many special features as newer designs, or as fast autofocus, but the 60 megapixels was something I was reluctant to give up. I've only been using the α7Rv for a week but first impressions are very good. There is a lot that is familiar, of course, and all the controls come nicely to hand -- they are very well placed. It is taking some splendid shots. Two new features stand out. The recognition feature is vastly improved: it can now recognise a bird or an insect in most circumstances, and find the eye of a bird quickly and accurately. (The α7Riv really couldn't handle birds, and I turned the feature off.) The hinging and pivoting rear screen is a thing of wonder, able to assume the most exotic positions, though in fact I use it mostly to keep the screen turned inside, safe from damage. Two small niggles about the design. Both on the old camera and of the new one, the front settings wheel, the one that controls aperture in manual mode, needs a wider ridge under it to stop it from being moved accidentally. I carry the camera with its big lens upside down on a shoulder strap, and this exposes the wheel to being moved when it brushes against my clothes. Also, the α7Rv's darken/lighten wheel, which is now electronic rather than mechanical, no longer has markings on it, so you have to look through the viewfinder to find the setting. This wastes a fraction of a second. I have now put a little white sticker on the wheel, which remains correct as long as you move the wheel only when the camera is on, so I can see its setting at a glance. If it goes out of kilter it can be reset by moving the wheel when the camera is off. Sony have always been famous for the baroque complexity of their menus. The α7Rv has a redesigned menu and I find it just as hard to find things in it as it was in the old one. One thing I did on the old camera was to assign a choice of exposure for flying birds to the button on the lens (1/1600 second, f6.3, ISO auto, tracking autofocus). This is a nightmarish procedure involving different settings all over the menu and it is not covered properly in the manual. It is just as hard on the new camera as it was on the old one. I only know how to do it because a Finnish professional photographer with the same camera and lens showed me how. I really don't see why assigning such a mode to the lens button, or any button, shouldn't be more straightforward. I would also add that the manual is not at all well designed, going to great lengths about things I don't want to do and sadly inadequate on things that I do want to do. But overall, this is an excellent camera and I am very pleased with it.

my camera is just out of the box and the sensor and shutter inside are messed up and crooked. i have tried calling contact support as their site states they’re open on saturday. continuously no response. this was my first sony purchase and i don’t plan to purchase again if this is how support will be.

I knew it was great, but this is better! I've been shooting for a year, but I keep finding new valuable features and am amazed at how intelligently everything is thought out. Ergonomically, it is very comfortable in the hands and when operating.

The picture quality is insane! Taking a leap onto this camera wasn't expected as I had a previously decent camera. But I am so glad that I took that leap. I am astounded and would highly recommend.

I’ve been after this lovely camera for over a year and finally got it. So chuffed I’ve been a Sony user for about 12 years now and absolutely adore Sony cameras especially the A7R V with all its bells and whistles so glad I make this purchase.

The focusing power with my Sony necked is amazing. Only touched the surface of configuring for my preferences,

great product. but have major issue updating the firmware for version 1 to 3

Very impressive camera. Resolution is amazing and it is fairly easy to use.

After long consideration reorganised my photo priorities and went for it - the Sony a7R V!!

I bought this camera to get into automotive photography. It pretty much does everything I want it too and because I can get good deals on Sigma lenses, it made this a no brainer. I would highly recommend this camera for stills photography and maybe less so for professional video.

More user friendly upgrades. Delivers on image quality

So happy with this purchase. I've been using it for a couple of weeks and I can't quite understand how I've been able to shoot without it before. It's like doing photography with a cheat code. Incredible camera. I haven't experienced the lack of software updates yet, but that is something I hear Sony should improve...

Bought to upgrade my A7R 2. Three things stand out as immensely improved: resolution, which is noticeable and larger enlargements are possible; image stabilisation - hand held to 1/4 sec with standard lens is feasible; focus and tracking which are generationally different.

I bought this camera about a month ago mainly for landscapes. It certainly delivers with excellent resolution and colour. Not tried at high ISO so far as all my landscapes are at ISO50 or 100 so not sure about noise.

Good for pixels and focus. Not great for noise and video. imo
