Full Specs — Sony a7 V Camera Body
| Feature | Specification / Description |
|---|---|
| Sensor | 33 MP full-frame, partially-stacked sensor for high readout speed and blackout-free bursts |
| Processor | BIONZ XR2 + AI subject-detection/tracking engine |
| Continuous Shooting | Up to 30 fps (electronic shutter), blackout-free bursts |
| In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) | 5-axis stabilization, up to ~7.5 stops advantage |
| Video | Full-frame 4K 60p oversampled from 7K; plus high-quality hybrid video/stills workflows |
| Viewfinder | OLED EVF — 3.68-million dot (same as previous gen) + faster 120 Hz refresh, faster EVF-to-LCD switching |

Why this matters: The new sensor + processor + AI tracking makes the a7 V a real hybrid all-rounder: fast enough for action or run-and-gun, sharp and rich enough for portraits and landscapes, stabilized enough for low-light handheld, and video-ready for creators who cross between 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.
