This is an amazing camera. I'm soooo glad I made this purchase. I'm an amateur photographer but you can't tell with these photos that I'm capturing. Beautiful crisp images, this camera does all the work for you. It's worth every penny.

So far an amazing camera. Defiantly an upgrade to the A7RIV. It's not the fastest for sports. Im still working through the tracking setting. Im getting way more keepers even though it's not as fast as an A1 or A9. But for an all around camera Amazing.

In the recent past, I considered leasing a 3-lens, 2-body medium format system. Love the stunning DR of any MF system. Any competent pro would see a marginal difference in medium format vs the A7rV. 95% of any client wouldn't notice. Upgrading to the A7rV, and with the backend support of Sony's expansive lens' option, I am thrilled that I stayed with Sony as my primary money-making system. I shoot product, architecture, corporate and even some events. Shooting full rez uncompressed raws for the big jobs, and compressed raws (incl. apsc) for pr use, this body is ultimately flexible.

Image quality, auto focus, ergonomics, speed, screen - all amazing. The only things I'd improve are the battery life and blackouts during burst shooting.

Excellent viewfinder, color, resolution and clarity. I highly recommend this guy to summon at once top quality photography.

Love the camera and got the flash as an extra goodie. I own godox flashes so the triggers work with this powerful little flash...and bonus my ad200 accessories work as well.

Fast Ai auto focus as you would expect from Sony. Menu has improved and this may have me trying more filming as well.

Amazing camera-even for an amatuer photographer. Amazing pictures, easy to use. this camera will guide you and help you through the process. There are hundreds of youtube instructional and opinion videos available to watch-dig in.

Love this camera so much! Sensor cropping with video is a bit of a bummer, but you can upsample from S35. AF is amazing, flip out screen is awesome. Take time to set up your custom buttons and this camera is a solid work horse.

Great product! After years of using the Sony A7iii it was time to upgrade and I couldn't be any happier with the purchase of the Sony A7rV. I would highly recommend this product for anyone looking to take their photography to the pro level!

Great camera, what can I say ... I use it mostly for landscape photography. Images are as what you would expect from 62MPX. Low light at high ISO - is not an issues at all ....

So far it has been wonderful. My Sony, A7Rii died Thanksgiving day. Fortunately, Black Friday was the next day and I got a great deal. And the camera was here by Monday. I have already photographed a basketball game , Christmas cookie making, and tree decorating. The new menu is a learning curve, and unfortunately, there's no manual with the camera. I had to look it up online, which I don't like to do, but that's just me. I like to have a book I can hold in my hand and write on.

I have an a6600 that works well. I was expecting to get great 'birds in flight' shots with the a7r V. So far I am disappointed in the results. Perhaps a firmware update will help. However for stills this is an excellent camera. The "in flight" shots are not bad... but not as good as the a1

The auto focus is a major improvement and I think this camera now fits a good niche for serious photographers who still don't want to go all the pay to purchasing an A1.

I upgraded from A7R IV to this camera. Initially I was skeptical about making only one generational upgrade but support of CFexpress alone was enough for me. I shoot uncompressed RAW and used to suffer with R IV's buffer and UHS-II. With this camera I can continuously shoot uncompressed RAW without missing any shots. AI autofocus is on point and few step improvement over R IV. I have noticed AF struggling with R IV and this camera rarely misses a shot. Shoutout to Adorama team for going above and beyond for me. I forgot my SD card in old camera while trading in. Marquita from customer support sent me a new replacement card so that I was covered for an upcoming trip to UK. I cant thank enough.

I don't own the a7R V (Yet). I'm thinking it looks pretty good.

I recently purchased the Sony a7R V from Adorama, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. This camera has exceeded my expectations in every way possible. Adorama sales answered all my questions and help me to select the additional equipment that I wanted/needed. The camera, lens and accessories shipped promptly, arrived in excellent condition. Excellent experience!!! I highly recommend Adorama.

Innovative new features in comparison to the previous Ilce-7R line of cameras. Adapted quickly for the necessary new features, but whould still prefer to reinstate some of the options, that where for example in the a7r3. having the possibility to change ISO during video, with other small surprises like a certain codec not reconized for viewing In Widows, surprised to change for a speadier sd in S&Q, during video shooting. whould have appreciated to know before and or also 2 options in 4k S&Q. ! So hoping that for the next firmware upgrade there will include more options as well as before photo/video shooting.

As a wildlife and landscape photographer, the a7RV is perfect for me. The ergonomics, the weight, the quality, and the resolution - not to mention the IBIS - are superb.

Terrible resolution with the 200-600 mm lens and basically worthless for birds and wildlife. Even my a7r3 is much better. I hoped the bird eye auto focus would be better but I don't see much improvement although it improved a lot for recognizing people. Basically for what I needed I didn't benfit in buying this accept for the flip screen and improved stabilization. The menu is better but I was used to the old one. It does a nice job with the 100-400 lens especially if you heavily crop an image. It goes through batteries faster so take several.

Impressed with the autofocus and love the video features. Upgraded from the A7RII AND WHAT AN IMPRESSIVE UPGRADE! I also got the 50 mm f/1.2 mm GM and I have a powerhouse. Worth the upgrade from older camera systems.

It's amazing camera. I had a7iii and a7Riii, but the a7RV it's completely different. The capacity of autofocus and color it's amazing.

I finally upgraded from my a-mount a99ii. This is the first e-mount Sony that has been comparable to it. The ISO quality is very impressive. I rarely ever went over 800 with my A99ii, or A77. I had and indoor event I took photos at and used 6400+ on some of the photos and it did very well. There does still seem to be a RAW file reading issue with LR though as the colors are way off for indoor photos. Even when I have my white balance manually set at say 3800k for an interior real estate photo, it looks yellow/orange when LR opens it even though the camera shows it correctly. But the Jpg file looks fine. I do also wish the smaller RAW files they have offered a smaller compressed file. For example, the 18mp file is un-compressed so you really don't save that much space. The only time I use the smaller RAW files is for Real Estate. I don't really like the placement of the lens release button as it's harder to change lenses in my opinion. I'm not sure when they changed that placement, but it's something I'm having a hard time getting used to.

Phenomenal piece of gear. About the only thing it cannot do is to get up in the morning and make your breakfast.
