The A7 V represents another huge step forward for enthusiast photographers. It blends exceptional image quality, great video performance, and superlative autofocus. Although it has the same resolution as the Mark IV, the new partially-stacked sensor and Bionz XR 2 processing engine bring improved low-light performance and speed that make it a great all-round model. Armed with features only seen on pro-level cameras at one time, the latest model in the A7 family will make the perfect first full-frame camera or an ideal backup for pros. I've never used another Sony camera that has made me consider switching to the Alpha system this seriously. That's why it's my favorite Sony body to date. £2,799 at Clifton Cameras £2,799 at Wex Photo Video £2,799 at London Camera Exchange £2,799 at Park Cameras

sony a7 v hands on review the a7 line evolves into a smarter faster all ...
The Sony A7 V delivers a big leap in autofocus intelligence, burst speed, video, and workflow flexibility over the prior generation. There are a couple of headline-grabbing improvements we haven’t yet seen debuted in other Sony cameras, but mostly, enough of all the good bits of Sony’s range are distilled into a more affordable jack-of-all-trades body. However, the competition in this segment of the market has become especially fierce since the A7 III burst onto the scene and changed the game, and despite the A7 V being the best yet in the series, it doesn’t best the competition in every department, with video being a key area where rivals are showing up Sony's omissions. But as a hybrid body for generalist photographers, the A7 V is another stellar entry into the A7 Series. $2,898 at BHPhoto $3,098 at BHPhoto Check Amazon Check Walmart
