Customers are saying

Customers commend the Alpha 7R V for its exceptional camera quality, overall performance, and high resolution. Users also appreciate the amazing back screen, ease of use, and impressive dynamic range. The autofocus and improved IBIS are well-received, though some find the camera to be heavier compared to other models.

    Finest camera that I have ever used. Great and fast auto focusing. Initially I had trouble switching from left to right eye detection but once the custom buttons are set. It was easy. A little learning of things makes this very easy to handle.

    This is a huge upgrade for me coming from a7iii. I’m loving the high megapixel even though transfer times are longer but I really love being able to crop and still have a good resolution.

    Big improvement over the R4, back to being quick on the draw for fast flying subjects that come out of nowhere when using a big telephoto lens, turns on and focuses almost immediately, not as good as looking directly through the lens all the time but pretty close.
