Customer Ratings & Reviews

The image quality of the camera exceeded my expectations. I had originally planned to purchase a standard full-frame camera, but this ultimately proved to be the best option for both my needs and budget.

I recently had the pleasure of using the Sony A7R IV, and I must say, it's an extraordinary camera that exceeds expectations. The 61-megapixel sensor delivers stunning image quality, capturing every detail with remarkable clarity. Its autofocus system is lightning-fast and incredibly accurate, making it perfect for action shots and wildlife photography. What impresses me the most is the camera's dynamic range, providing exceptional performance in various lighting conditions. The ergonomic design and intuitive interface make it a joy to use, and the added features like 4K video capability and high ISO performance are just the icing on the cake. The Sony A7R IV isn't just a camera; it's a powerhouse tool for any photographer looking to push their creative boundaries.

Fantastic Camera. Definitely top tier for photographers with enough video recording performance for videographers. The megapixels makes the files huge but the amount of detail for editing is well worth the price. That level of detail is a must if you constantly crop photos. I also have the A7IV which is a great alternative, but I now keep it as a video camera and this has become my main photography camera.

Updated from riii and have not been disappointed, the autofocus on this body is phenomenal, huge upgrade. Going from 42 mp to 61 is worth it except for the size of the files. Expensive yes, worth it in my opinion.

For mi the best expirence ever, to shot my photo I recoment exceptionally high resolution outsanding dynamic range

I upgraded from my A7III and all I can say is wow, just wow. I shoot on the highest quality glass from Sony and this thing is an absolute monster of a performer. 90mm G, took a picture of a paper towel to see what kind of detail I can get because of how sharp the lens is. I zoom in on the picture and see all of the fibers, crisp in detail. I put on my 100-400GM, taking pictures of buildings 7 or so miles away, still see details, etc. I cannot express how much detail I can get from these photos, it's absolutely absurd. I've only just gotten the camera today and it has already impressed me. I can't wait to play with all of the features this camera has to offer. The 8 stop IBIS is definitely there, especially when compared to my A7III. Zoomed in at 400mm the camera had virtually no shake whatsoever, it's an improvement and very much welcomed. The screen is uncontested now. It flips, it tilts, and it does everything anyone ever wanted. It definitely looks nice and crisp, so I have no complaints, and neither should anyone else now. Definitely expensive, was it worth it? That depends on your needs as a photographer, but I don't regret getting this one bit, it is definitely worth the upgrade if you're jumping from an older Alpha camera. There's so much to cover about this camera, but I have to get to all of that before I can even do that. Downsides? Battery seems to drain a little quicker, but I think that's to be expected with everything you're getting. Also Sony includes an actual charger for the battery, not that wall plug one with the micro USB cable that everyone dislikes. So thank you Sony, I've wanted that forever and you provided, it was much needed and I believe people will be happier. To summarize, this is one heck of a camera, I already am in love with it and can't wait to see how it will endure time, I feel confident that it will serve my needs for years to come. Is it worth it? If you're using an A1 / A7RIV then maybe pass, unless you really want those new features (they're pretty great). If you're coming from an A7III like I am, go for it. I can already see the night and day difference in performance.

If you're shopping for this camera then you know what you're getting into. Image Quality is as good as it can get for full frame mirrorless. If you're comparing this to the A7R4, get this. With this A7R5 I am able to gain 3-5 stops of extra light with the new IBIS, and the flippy screen is incredible. This thing is a quality of life blessing coming from the A7R4.

A very complex camera with functions for all photographers but only a few will use all! I have used Sony cameras since '14 with the A7S where using adapters I used old film lenses even captured a lunar eclipse with a Canon FD telephoto lens and feel in love with astro Milky ways and in '17 the A7Rii with IBIS were I captured Antelope Canyon handheld while bracketing 3 @ +/- 2 ev using the new FE 12-24mm f/4 while other had to use sticks and most at only 35mm. and the cameras have apps on camera that make them just a valuable as the day they came out! The A7RV you need the 900 page book to know all or most all functions, a lot to keep in your head while out and about. It's noise control at high ISO's is equal to the A7SM3 as well as its video powers if not better. I still have all my old Sony's and an almost complete collection of lenses and still use Film lenses at times. I am not a gear hog but want the abilities I see today to capture. Bottom line the everyday camera for anything but start with a A7RM2 to get your feet wet you may never go higher it is also that great. All other makers have been behind the 8 ball and have not caught up yet. Sony sensors are in most all cell phones as well as processors that should mean something.

It has be an absolute amazing upgrade! Love this camera cant say anything bad. Bought at end of 2024 and its been my work horse.

Really beautiful and nice peace of equipment. Already love it. Still working on figuring out how it works

Replaced my Sony a7iii with this beast! Amazing camera.

The delivery was on time, just as the store described, the packaging was completely safe and they made sure to deliver the product to us in reliable hands and on a familiar schedule. As for the product, I have tested it in the valley of fire and what quality of images I obtained : Not just any camera is worth every dollar invested to capture the most beautiful moments and landscapes. I spent months trying to negotiate the same product cheaper outside of Best Buy but the truth is that no one gives you the guarantee and quality of service, do not hesitate to buy here. I am a super satisfied customer and I attest to the quality and service in all the senses, encouragement and to buy with peace of mind, it was said with Best Buy and Sony.

Love this camera! A liitle adventure came along with this purchase, in that when i first picked it up from Best Buy, i got it home, opened the A7R5 box, set up the camera, took it to a magazine photo shoot, and while downloading the compressed RAW files, i wondered why they were all 33MB, instead of 61MB. As it turns out, someone at Best Buy had switched cameras in the box, and it was actually an A7IV. I wasn't pleased. Best Buy gave me my A7RV once i returned to the Palmdale store.

I read the reviews regarding the high resolution and ability to crop photos from this camera and still surprised by the image quality. I upgraded from the A7RIII and it was worth it. Yep, it’s expensive, but it is a lot of fun and can yield a return on investment for pros.

1000000% yes - such a good quality camera. Well worth the cost.

Crispy photos, fast shooting, can't ask for much more

Excels at photography. I have not tried it for video. Kinda heavy to carry around with a large lens

Got this to replace my Sony a7rii and this new Sony camera is amazing!! Easy to use especially if you have experience with Sony cameras. Easy to learn if not. But WOW. All kinds of great pictures. Love this camera. I’m a total tech member too. So the extended coverage seems worth it. I get all my stuff at Best Buy because of that too.

What can I say about this camera? Coming from an A7R II, the upgrade is absolutely night and day. The autofocus is incredible, the level of customization is next-level, and the battery life is outstanding. As always with mirrorless cameras, the weight is a bonus—it’s light but still feels solid in your hands. It’s fast, sharp, and just plain impressive. The 8K capabilities are a bit overkill for me (you’ll need a compatible memory card and a powerful computer to handle it), but it’s nice to have the option.

This camera is truly excellent; it takes clear and sharp photos. Without going into too much detail, the price is quite high, but it's still worth it.
