The Sony A7R V is Sony’s ‘resolution’ specialist, though its 8K video capability, improved burst capacity and new AI autofocus are bound to drive a big wedge into the sports/action – and perhaps video – markets, too.
This won’t make the Sony range any less confusing. The Sony A1 remains the powerhouse of the Sony range, though the A7R V beats it for resolution, and the Sony A9 II remains the sports specialist, despite being overtaken for speed by the A1 and by the A7R V for autofocus technologies. The Sony A7S III is still the low-light video specialist, though its 12MP sensor effectively rules it out for stills photography, while the Sony A7 IV is cheaper than the A7R V and perhaps better for hybrid stills/video work.
