    Best camera ever, i decided to go with the best camera on display , figured why not learn from the best while I’m practicing? This was a great experience. Pheonix was helpful in selling me a camera and giving me a good deal.

    I picked this one because well, ok the price I know is a lot but, I'm buying this for long-term use. Maybe about 10 years or more depending on what I can get on it. I used to have a canon, well still do but this is such an upgrade. I love that it does well with video and photos. So much to learn.

    This is my second body of the Sony A7R5. I use it for weddings. I love that it has a dual-slot design with the same-speed raw image recording. The most recent firmware update from Sony made this camera irreplaceable for me. Quiet shutter + best-in-class eye focusing.

    Fantastic camera. Pictures are super crisp and vibrant. The large megapixel count allows you to crop in, effectively extending the range of your lenses. Upgraded from an A7iii and couldn't be happier.

    More than I need, Everything I want!!! BEST camera

    I miss my fuji (I had the X-T2, T3, T4!) but between the reliability, performance, and ergonomics of this camera... I am in love!!! This was a tough pill to swallow between how much it cost and what I was giving up to do so (selling all my fuji and other gear) but after nearly 8 months of research, dozens of best buy visits to handle the display model, and watching every YouTube video on this camera -- I have made one of the best purchases ever. I am no professional, and I don't even profit a lot when I do shoots. However, I am one who loves having a camera, to capture everything from everyday moments to the special events and of course, my travels! I am a hybrid shooter by nature, I mainly love to make videos but by volume I take more photos. My FAVORITE thing about this camera is how FAST it turns on AND switches between photo and video mode-- It is SO SO SO RESPONSIVE!! Imagine just clicking away at the candid moments and boom you switch to video mode and start recording in under half a second!! This has been so amazing for me as I am able to truly capture EVERYTHING!! (I do not worry about technical or artistic perfection as both myself and the people that see my edits are all just happy they were taken in the first place) My second favorite thing about this camera is simply the autofocus. It. Does. NOT. Miss!!! I've shot everything from volleyball, to graduation pictures, to animals in the wild, to fighter jets, to mountains, to vlogging eveything -- there is no missing your target when the built in AI can be instructed to literally find and HOLD focus on the target. The settings are so fine tunable that if you miss focus on this camera, you do not understand it and should not be using it. Third for me is the speed of CFexpress type-A (I personally use OWC cards) and the longevity of the battery. There is so much to be said about the peace of mind that having a reliable and fast card can give you. Take it from a non-pro but serious shooter... you're investing in a multi-thousand dollar camera, DO NOT cripple it or hold it back by going cheap on cards or battery!!! One battery lasts me through most of the day until about lunch time or so which I charge while I eat thru the USBC port then end the day with just enough juice to off load all my photos and footage. I could write a love letter to this camera and the 90% perfection it is. The ONLY thing I can complain about is how bulky and heavy it can sometimes get
