Good camera but overheats
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overheated fairly often. Also had issues returning it at my local Best Buy because the store supervisor really wanted to charge a restocking fee even though it was defective. They wanted me to come back with my own lens and show the overheat message which is kinda ridiculous.

Camera is a beast, return process a nightmare!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony A7RV is amazing and an absolute beast to work with. Unfortunately Best Buy Customer Service is quite the opposite. Ordered the camera and canceled 2 hours later, the customer representative I called he couldn't stop the order anymore and should simply reject the delivery. After some time checking my refund they kept $500 for "Restocking fee" which is ridiculous. Customer service is simply not responding to my emails anymore where Best Buy initially even mentioned there is no Restocking fee package if package is unopened. My experience is extremely poor with customer service, do not buy from Best Buy. I definitely won't , but the camera is amazing!

Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Received the camera on Dec 7th. Turned it on and it cycled on and off for 30 seconds. Sometimes it would turn on, sometimes not. I was on the phone with Sony troubleshooting and they told me it was defective. I went back to Best Buy and returned the camera. When the camera did turn on, I was able to obtain several photos. I was in aww with the focusing and quality of the photos. I just hope Sony didn’t rush out the camera without quality control. I did order a new one and waiting for it to ship.

Here's why I consider it a game-changer: Exceptional Image Quality: The Alpha 7R V's 61-megapixel full-frame sensor delivers breathtaking image quality. The level of detail, dynamic range, and color accuracy is simply outstanding. Whether I'm capturing landscapes, portraits, or intricate details, this camera consistently impresses with its sharpness and clarity. Incredible Low-Light Performance: This camera excels in low-light conditions. The ISO range is expansive, and the results are remarkably noise-free. Shooting in dimly lit environments or during golden hour is no longer a challenge; it's an opportunity for creativity. Lightning-Fast Autofocus: The Alpha 7R V boasts an impressive autofocus system that locks onto subjects quickly and accurately. Whether I'm tracking moving subjects or focusing on a specific point, this camera's performance is reliable and ensures I don't miss critical shots. High-Speed Shooting: With the capability to shoot at up to 20 frames per second, this camera is a beast when it comes to capturing fast-paced action or wildlife photography. It's a versatile tool for a wide range of photography genres. Robust Build Quality: The camera's build quality exudes durability and professionalism. The black finish gives it a sophisticated and elegant appearance, and it feels solid in hand. Weather sealing provides peace of mind when shooting in challenging conditions. Customizable Controls: The Alpha 7R V allows for extensive customization of buttons and functions, enabling a personalized shooting experience. This flexibility enhances workflow efficiency and ensures I can adapt the camera to my preferences. Impressive Video Capabilities: For videographers, this camera offers 4K video recording with stunning clarity and cinematic depth. The inclusion of S-Log and HLG profiles provides flexibility in post-production, making it an excellent choice for multimedia creators. Wireless Connectivity: The camera's built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth make it seamless to transfer photos to a mobile device or control the camera remotely using the Sony mobile app. It enhances workflow and allows for quick sharing on the go. Vast Lens Selection: Sony's extensive lineup of E-mount lenses provides endless possibilities for expanding creativity. Whether it's a prime lens for portraits or a versatile zoom for travel, the Alpha 7R V can adapt to various shooting scenarios. In summary, the Sony Alpha 7R V is a powerhouse of a camera that caters to the needs of both professional photographers and advanced enthusiasts. Its remarkable image quality, swift autofocus, and robust build make it a top choice in the world of mirrorless cameras. While it comes at a premium price, the results it delivers are worth every penny for those who demand the best in their photography.
