As a longtime professional photojournalist , after 40+ years using the best pro gear from Nikon, Canon, Leica, I moved over to Sony mirrorless back in January 2017. I have owned and used for photographing all subjects around the world in stills and video, the A6500, A7RII, A7RIII, A7III, A9, A7RIV and currently the A7RV, A1, A7SIII. I just took advantage of Sony $400 USD rebate and Sony $500 USD trade-in bonus to get $900 off the price of a new A7RV, plus what I got for trading in my A7RIV, so it was the perfect time to upgrade at least cost. The advancements of the A7RV are very compelling, and after shooting with my 50mp A1, and my 61mp A7RIV, I would not be willing to lose that ultimate resolution and detail that I love, by dropping down to the excellent 33mp A7IV. Just not for me, but the A7IV is perfect for many. I currently have 14 E-mount lenses covering 10mm to600mm from Sony, Sigma, Tamron, Viltrox so I am covered for all the different subjects I shoot. I am also a longtime Professor of Photography at a USA state university and love teaching my hundreds of students over the years with my courses in Photojournalism, Digital Photography, and 35mm B&W Film photography. .Cheers and thanks for your excellent video. All the best to you.

I use the a7iv professionally and the only thing that has me thinking about upgrading is the a7v’s improved heat dissipation and AF performance. If you don’t need top tier AF or extended 4k record times I think you’d love the a7iv. It’s an incredible camera.

Waiting for the A7V with the AVRV screen and ergonomics.

The Sony A7R V is perfect, even though I'm not a pro or creator. I'm just a visual quality enthusiast who enjoys the slight differences. Price doesn't matter when I print memories for family and friends.

This the video I been waiting on

Nice detailed video i ever seen ❤ thnx sir keep it up

I had the same experience regarding lowlight photography. It is my main field of photography. Theatre/dance and musicphotograpy often in poor lit rehearsal rooms. I use the Sony A74 for two years now and very satisfied with its very-lowlight performance. I could try the Sony A7R5 for a couple of days and it is indeed a very nice camera in daylight. But in very lowlight situations it is noisy with a greenish colorcast and above all the autofocus is bad. In focusing and the speed of focussing. Sometimes it did not autofocus at all while my SonyA74 focussed precise and very fast in those circumstances. Waiting for a Sony camera with good AI autofocus in poor lighting conditions.

One of the best comparison videos for these two cameras. Thank you!

Great video, exactly the choice of cameras I'll be choosing between in the next couple of months. Do you still have both cameras? I would love to see your take on that if you shoot photos in mRAW on the A7RV, that the low light performance goes close to the A7IV. I've seen a couple of reviews mention it, but would love to see your results.

Keep it up mark! Idea for you: comparing the new off brand cf express card options vs sony

Excelente explicación 👍

I'VE BEEN WANTING THIS VIDEO!!!

Buen video 👏

What a coincidence that of all cams these two will get their compact versions next week! Thank you for the pre-preview. :)

Great comparison! They're really solid hybrid workhorses (I own both), and I would say equally highly underrated for video. It's surprising how well the a7 IV's 7K-downsampled 4K compares to the 8K in the a7R V.

The fact that these camera's need to be compared shows how good the A7RV is. The A7RV is a hybrid camera that leans HEAVILY towards the photography side. It is not designed to beat the A7IV in video, but you can see it holding its own here pretty well. Put the camera's side by side on a photography heavy review and you'll start to see how much better the RV is. Better in low light, better IBIS (its insanely good), much better cropping power, ridiculous resolution, incredible colors out of a Sony finally.

Increíble!!

I got a7 IV less than a month ago and coupled with 24mm F2.8 G and 40mm F2.5 G, just ideal!

that EVF is just something else on the A7RV

The title really clickbaited me 😅. I freaked out about the A7V 😂😂😂

thank very much

Прям то что я искал!

Great job on the video Mark! Thanks for making it. I had a chance recently to buy the A7RV for a scorching deal, but passed on it just because I didn't want to carry around that much value on the daily. The A7IV is a great camera and I would love to have it, but I'm still not convinced that a full-frame is the right answer for me. I find that the times that I want to set up for dedicated stills photography I usually have the added requirement of increased mobility, and my a6400 suits that need just fine. MAYBE someday I'll upgrade to an a6700 for that purpose, but until then, I'd rather spend my money on an fx30 for video, and that new 70-200G lens.

Thanks again for an amazing comparison! Can we please have a comparison with fx30 and A7r5 if not which one would u prefer the best for videos

Both cameras are amazing, I can afford neither. (still stuck on a7ii) Great vid!

A7iv 🔥

I do love my A74. I think if I ever get into photography more I would consider the A7R5 but for more I pretty much film stuff in my garage and it’s a ton of fun.

Thanks for the review! Was thinking about upgrading but actually the IV seems to be better in quite a few aspects and didnt really see any benefit of the 8k at 500%

Thanks for the review! I love my a7 iv, and judging by what I read plus what you showed, it seems that a7r v is a better outdoor camera, but a7iv is better indoors. So perhaps whether a7r v is worth it is not just about your budget, but also about the use cases. Even if you can afford a7r v, but if you mostly shoot photos indoors and 4k video, then a7iv is what you should buy anyhow.

Excelente camaras

The tilty flipy on a7rv cant be put on the a7iv like cars work?

Can you please do a video about the SEL16F28 (vs Sigma 16 F1.4)🙏

Los mejores enfoques

I’m wondering would it still work if i would get the tamron 17-70 which is for apsc cameras but I’ll use it on the a7iv but without the crop mode

Ooo A7RV...fancy.

Excelente cámara

Hi, I have the Sony A7RV. When I use the sensor cleaning function (dust) and run the command, the sensor does not vibrate like in the Sony A7IV, but remains still and only a slight tick tick is heard. People told me that it is normal of this sensor do not vibrate why Sony A7RV uses new generation ultrasound. This is true ?

Is the 1080 on A7RV at least as good as A7iV? I want to do slow motion wildlife video plus photos. I crop heavily, so the extra megapixels is attractive.

Found the A7Rv for 1155 OMR ($3,003 USD) and the A7iv for 805 OMR ($2,093 USD) so going for the A7Rv. Bother are great cameras, but already have the A7SIII and need a photography monster and potentially a great B-Cam (that 8K can come in handy). Also if you wanna keep the same framing yet gain back your full frame on A7iv try a speedbooster then keep it in APS-C mode + gain more light.

It's amazing the ZV-E1 has the same AI chip, no crop in 4k60, 4K120 and no rolling shutter issues - some key advantages over the A7R5 for videographers at £1.7k, incredible!

Hi sir sony a7 S4 ka review ka video

Good

Ayyyye, A7IV vs A7RV nice Mark. Also, let's see if how A7V plays with the KZfaq algorithm.

Bought the A7RV when it first came out, but sold it just a few months later and went back to my A7iv. For stills, it’s an amazing camera, but for my hybrid use case, the A7iv was way more practical. Fun comparison!

Muy bien

Lemme wait for the a7v 🥲🥲🥲

If I had to chose, I’d go with the A7RV because it lacks the details ruining AA filter.

Both these camera's are excellent coming from the Sony Camp

a7iv wins for me for all video

Buenazo

Love the channel and I get its mostly sony based. It would be cool if you reviewed other camera systems as well.

Gran camara

I had the Sony A7S III and got the Sony A7 RV now as I wanted a camera that will do both Video & Photos, I thought about the A7 IV but I got swayed by the 61 megapixel which I am sure I don't need LOL. Since most of my work is Podcasting not sure if I made a mistake being that video is the majority of my work. I thought about keeping my SIII as well as the A7RV but thought it may be a bit much.

am i seeing things? does a7rv has a wider field of view

Are you using Adobe Podcast AI for these videos?

Best cámaras in the world

Once you go 61mp it’s hard to go back to the measly 33mp

Your head is so red! Leeming lut issue?

Which camera's image quality is better in all conditions? most of the time I shoot in natural light, even some low light, of course I work mostly during the day. Sometimes I also make short clips and commercials. Which camera do you think is better for me?? Are the image details very different between these two cameras??

A7V omg.

I don't know what to buy for astrophotography and landscapes, I read that the a7iv is better in low light, lower ISO, and the 7 R IV eats stars, but more Megapixels will be better for landscapes, and I actually don't know which one to choose

Can somebody please explain to me why the a7iv has better low light then the R V. I don’t understand how that can be.

Simple video comparison: 24/25P: R5 amazing 8k but rolling shutter, weaker full frame 4k (binned), a7IV better 4k 24/25 full frame (oversampled 7k), R5 better at S35 4K 60p: r5 less crop 1.2 a7iv more crop 1.5 but sharper

I WENT FROM A7R4 TO A7R5. A7R5 IS A BEAST

If I had to chose between the two I'd go A74

I don't think you mentioned the focus stacking feature on the a7rV? Unless I missed it? 😊

i have exact same shirt.

👍

What to buy : a7cii or a74?)

Como

Didn’t realize the A7V was out! Haha

The iso part is a mess. I don't think there is any difference in iso up to 6400 or even 12000. Already if you use 32,000 iso, that image or video can be thrown away. You can't do anything with it, except film the dog in the yard at night and keep it for yourself. But as long as it's quality, somewhere up to 6400 there is no difference. Better AF and 61 MP, that's what matters.

I have both of these cameras. THE A7IV is.for the wife. I did notice that in really low light (nighttime) the A7IV was better.

Good evening sir My Budget is 2.10 Lacks INR sir And the Matter is Here I have a Chance One Sony a 7R5 at 2.20 with Shutter Count 30k These camera Has 6 Months Old sir Shall I Proceed to buy these or Can I Go For New Sony a 7 M4 sir ..? My Purpose is Photo and Cinematic Purpose sir Thank You Please reply Sir

1:24 the difference between 4k and 8k just very slight or even indistinguishable.... lol

this video is good but has no point. KZfaq compression destroyed everything. 4k and 1080 look the same even on 4k IPS monitor

I'm actually surprised the A7RV falls apart after 32,000 ISO.

Thanks for a clear comparison minus all the fluff, Paul Phillips Fix @ kzfaq.info/love/dq2jaxcmgyX0AERivIB2Tw

Do u know hindi?

Sony A7V? They need to slow down their releases.

To think sony went fast making the a7v

Sony A74 vs Sony A7R5🤭

Not even interested in either but I can’t not watch that mug in action.

Someone got his hairs cut.

They look like they're the same camera. lol.

Thumbs down for clickbait
