A: Sony A7 series has 3 lines of products: 1) A7 R: stands for RESOLUTION which focuses on high-resolution stills photography 2): A7 S: stands for SENSITIVITY which focuses on low-light performance and videography 3): A7: that's a hybrid machine right in the middle with ok resolution and decent video capabilities. Technically both R and S are specialty series that are half a tier higher than A7 itself geared toward professionals which is reflected in its higher price points, and typically the latest top-end cameras don't have the software limit anymore meaning there is no more video recording limit anymore as long as the machines don't physically overheat. Currently, the S series is at A7S Mark3 the third-gen, while R is already in A7R Mark 5 which is the fifth-gen, while a7 itself is at 4th gen which is A7 Mark 4. Thus the names A7S3, A7R4, A7R5 and A74.
Q: Does this camera can recording 8k videos?
A: yes its support 8k but need spicel sd card

This is an excellent camera. I am a Sony man and also own a Sony a1 and a7rIVa. There are some significant upgrades from the 7rIV such as frames per second continuous shooting and in the video capability shooting 8k @24p. The most significant upgrade is the swivel screen. You can pretty much articulate it to any angle you need versus any other Sony camera. I am sure this will likely become standard on the performance tier models. The pictures are crisp and at 61mp, shooting full raw, you can easily get a 5' poster size print when shooting full frame. The 7rV is very close in capability to the a1 with some minor nuances that make the a1 a better camera overall (faster fps, video are just a couple). The only reason I didn't give the 7rV 5 stars is the camera can be finicky when selecting a focus area depending on if you are shooting manual or auto...particularly in auto. While I am fully capable of setting the camera to manual, sometimes that shot you are trying to nail is better done in auto, particularly with fast moving wildlife where you are focused on tracking and not adjusting the camera settings to the conditions in your shot. Most focus areas are LOCKED so you can't choose the best focus mode in auto. Additionally, I didn't care for the fact you have to manually switch back and forth between mechanical or electronic shutter. For instance, if you are in single mode, it will shoot mechanical, but if you go continuous mode, you have to remember to change it. Mechanical can slow your fps down due to cycling whereas electronic is fast and efficient. Electronic ALSO will not show up in a shutter count and preserves the life of your camera body. Sony's mechanical shutter is good for at least 500,000 releases and can go well beyond, but you may start to have issues around this mark. I shoot a lot of rocket launches primarily with my a1 in electronic shutter and I can easily have between 1000-1200 images shooting continuous for one launch. Generally I use my 7rV and 7rIV to shoot long exposure for the launches which I provided a picture. If those were all mechanical, you see how I could quickly reach that 500k mark! I just wish the 7rV would default to electronic when I switch to continuous like my a1 does. Lastly, if you want to unlock this cameras potential for fps and 8k video, you HAVE TO BUY the expensive CFExpress type A card. Do some research on this card and you'll see what I am talking about. You will pay a small fortune for a type A. Type B cards which Canon and Nikon accept are a fraction of the cost and FASTER but NOT compatible with Sony!! Sony is the ONLY brand that uses type A cards. You can get away with 1 type A card in slot 1, then use a SD uhs-II card that is v90 in slot 2 if you set the camera up to shoot full raw and video for slot 1 and jpg in slot 2. The slots are configurable to different formats so you may need 2 type A cards if you choose raw for both slots or you may hit the buffer in the camera and be unable to shoot until it clears the data. I do suggest if buying type A cards to go with something no smaller than 160gb and that is if you plan on transferring the card after each shoot. I recently went to Alaska and shot over 500gb on a 1tb CFExpress type A card over a 10 day period. If you shoot a lot of 8k video, that will take ALOT of memory, roughly 26gb for every 15 mins of video. A caveat to 8k video, you need a computer that is fast enough to play it back, such as a gaming computer with a fast processor, oodles of RAM and either a 3080ti, 4080 or 4090 graphics card. I found this out the hard way and dished out another $3k for a computer so I could play and edit the video. Although this camera has a few shortcomings in my opinion, it is probably the BEST camera available, especially when price and megapixels count! The competition isn't even close to 61mp and it makes a world of difference at the end of the day. There are so many other technical features that make it a great camera as well that I didn't touch on, but I did want to talk about where some improvement is needed. The menu is semi intuitive, just a lot of options to scroll through and choose, which can make changing on the fly cumbersome. The menu in the 7rV is the same as the a1 with a few options missing, but nothing that drastically takes away from it. Setting up your memory buttons is key to making fast, critical changes to your cameras menu instead of scrolling through all the settings. You won't be disappointed if you buy it and I highly recommend if you are willing to spend the money, to get this camera.

Excellent camera!! Could not be happier with purchase!! There's a bit of a learning curve with the menu system if you're coming from say the A7iii or A7riii platform, but YouTube videos are your friend here. I don't think it's probably for a 1st time mirrorless buyer. A used A7iii, IV, or the new V would probably be better suited. Definitely feel like this is kind of that niche camera from landscape or portrait photography. Just my take.

I have waited for the perfect camera, and when a7RV was announced, going through the specs it seemed that maybe the wait was over. Well, now that I have had a chance to use it, I can definitely say the camera met and exceeded all my expectations. What a beast of a camera. AF is spot on, even with my dogs running full speed, the images are incredible and the 61 MP means even when you crop, the image is still good enough to blow to poster size. I can’t find a single negative thing to say having taken a good 5000 pictures so far. Superb.
