    I have waited to buy a DSLR type camera for so long that Mirrorless started coming out. When I bought the Sony A7RV all these years of waiting was absolutely worth it! I would highly recommend this camera for anyone who wants to get into photography or even have been shooting for a while. A must have!

    Best camera you can buy in 2023 ! It is a dream camera. This camera has so many features that it takes you to the next level. Colors are amazing. You choose what ever pixels are better for the type of work you do. For weddings you can choose 26 megapixels and for special moments you can choose 61 megapixels. There are so many features this camera have that I need would need to keep on writting more but if you got the money buy this camera.

    A near-flawless camera, while most sony camera's don't have the most impressive rear LCDs, this one stands as the best you can get on any mirrorless camera. The photo quality is just amazing and its so hard to state just how incredible the new Autofocus is. Coming from an A7IV, which was already amazing, it was immediately obvious just how much more capable this was. I feel like no matter where you're coming from, all of the upgrades this camera has over any previous model will make you fall in love with it immediately.

    I have really enjoyed using this camera over the last few weeks (we took it into a few national parks, and I had one small video shoot). As a videographer, it's my second shooter. I feel it does pretty well in low-light (perhaps similar to the a7sIII). It's my primary photography camera and the resolution is excellent! Honestly the ability to crop in is fantastic!

    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.

    I've had this camera for a couple weeks. It's an upgrade from my Sony A7Rii. Besides the other enhanced features, I'm really happy about the articulating screen and the in-camera focus stacking feature. I've customized buttons as needed. My lenses are performing better with the 62mp's. The menus are complex but generally follow my previous model and have much better graphics. I downloaded the manual and have referred to it as needed to get it set up the way I like
