Photography in Good Company
Full-frame hybrid powerhouse — upgraded, smarter, faster.
The Sony a7 V raises the bar for what a “do-everything” full-frame camera can be. With a newly designed 33 MP full-frame sensor, a next-gen BIONZ XR2 processor with dedicated AI-powered subject detection, blackout-free 30 fps bursts, and significantly improved video and stabilization, the a7 V is built for modern hybrid shooters — photographers and filmmakers who demand speed, subtlety, and quality all in one.
What’s new & key tech specs
-
33 MP full-frame sensor with partly stacked design — for silent, blackout-free shooting and fast readout while retaining rich detail and dynamic range.
-
BIONZ XR2 processor + AI-powered subject detection & tracking — improved autofocus for people, animals, vehicles, and more; even in low light.
-
Up to 30 fps continuous shooting (with electronic shutter) — blackout-free bursts ideal for action, street, or wildlife work.
-
Improved 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) rated to around 7.5 stops — hand-held shooting stays sharp, even in low light.
-
Hybrid still + video performance: Full-frame 4K 60p oversampled from 7K for exceptional sharpness; plus improved options for creators needing both stills and motion.
-
Faster EVF & LCD switching + redesigned tilting screen — smoother user experience, plus updated ergonomics for shooting on-the-go.
-
Dual card slots and modern connectivity — ready for professional workflows and long shoots.
-
Same NP-FZ100 battery lineup, now with improved efficiency — longer real-world shooting sessions.
Ideal for: hybrid shooters, travel photographers, portrait & event pros, content creators, documentary shooters, and anyone who wants a single body capable of world-class stills and video.
Quick Comparison: Sony a7 V vs Sony a7 IV
| Feature | Sony a7 V | Sony a7 IV |
|---|---|---|
| Sensor | 33 MP partially-stacked full-frame sensor (faster readout, blackout-free 30 fps) | 33 MP BSI-CMOS full-frame sensor |
| Processor / AF Engine | BIONZ XR2 + AI subject detection & advanced tracking | BIONZ XR + standard autofocus/tracking |
| Continuous Shooting | Up to 30 fps, blackout-free (electronic shutter) | Up to ~10 fps (mechanical shutter), or slower continuous modes |
| IBIS / Stabilization | Up to ~7.5 stops advantage | ~5.5 stops IBIS (typical of its generation) |
| Video | Full-frame 4K 60p oversampled from 7K, hybrid-ready | 4K video (with limitations — 4K60p in Super35 / crop mode) |
| Viewfinder & Screen | 3.68M-dot EVF + faster refresh / switching; redesigned tilt screen | 3.69M-dot EVF + vari-angle screen (flip-out) |
| Burst Performance | Faster readout, silent shooting possible, improved pre-capture 1 sec | Standard speed burst, no blackout-free electronic shutter benefits |
| Hybrid Use (Stills + Video) | Significantly upgraded — great for video creators with serious stills chops | Solid hybrid for its time — still capable but showing age relative to newer hardware |
Bottom line: The a7 V isn’t just a refresh — it’s a meaningful upgrade. With a modern sensor, faster readout, advanced AI AF, stronger IBIS, and serious video chops, the a7 V raises the floor for what a mid-range full-frame kit can do.
