All-in one full-frame kit: modern sensor, versatile zoom, and ready-to-shoot freedom. First Shipments expected February 2026.

Whether you’re traveling, street shooting, documenting life, or starting a hybrid photo/video project, this kit gives you a powerful, flexible full-frame setup — no lens shopping required. The 28–70 mm II lens covers wide through short-telephoto, while the a7 V camera body delivers next-gen performance and versatility.

What’s in the box

  • Sony a7 V full-frame mirrorless camera body

  • Sony FE 28–70 mm II standard zoom lens

  • Battery (NP-FZ100), charger, body cap, lens cap, strap, manuals, etc.

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
Rear Screen Redesigned tilt-type screen (improved ergonomics)
Battery / Endurance NP-FZ100 battery; improved efficiency over prior gen; longer real-world shooting time 
Other Dual card slots, modern connectivity, speed-boost button for burst subjects, redesigned ergonomics/body controls

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.

Lens Specs — Sony FE 28–70 mm II Zoom

Feature Specification / Description
Mount Sony E-mount, Full-frame compatible
Focal Length 28 – 70 mm

Why this lens: Combined with the a7 V, the 28–70 mm II delivers a compact, light, versatile kit that’s ready to shoot straight out of the box. It gives you wide-angle through short-telephoto coverage — ideal for travel, documentary work, lifestyle, events, and mixed photo/video workflows — without needing a bag full of primes.

Who This Kit Is For

  • Travelers, documentary & street photographers

  • Hybrid photo/video creators

  • Lifestyle, portrait, and everyday shooters

  • People who want a single, all-purpose full-frame kit without carrying multiple lenses

  • Creators who value flexibility, portability, and a high-performance sensor

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.
