Smart Photography|April 2023
The 61 megapixel Sony A7R V was introduced in India on March 15, 2023. Sony started the A7R series with 36.4 MP; the A7R II and III were 42.4 MP; the A7R IV as well as V are 61 MP. Let’s see how the A7R V fares in our tests…

The Resolution King

Sony A7R V ₹3,53,990 (body only)

Design & Build Quality

The Sony A7R V body is built tough and is dust and moisture resistant; it incorporates a lightweight but strong magnesium alloy chassis, with the top/front/rear cover also made with magnesium alloy. The body is made in Thailand, Indonesia.

Key Features

The A7R V, the successor to the A7R IV, is a full frame 61 megapixel Interchangeable Lens Mirrorless Camera from Sony. It uses a back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS image sensor and the latest BIONZ XR image processor to deliver amazing resolution and subject detail. Additionally, the A7R V uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) with deep learning to dramatically improve subject-recognition accuracy and make full use of its potential resolution. Overall, the new A7R V is superior to the A7R IV in every way.

The camera’s high resolution sensor is backed by an updated high-precision 5-axis image stabilisation system that uses advanced gyro-sensors and image stabilising algorithms to precisely detect and correct camera shake during exposure. The camera body alone can provide up to an eight-stop advantage for the first time in the Alpha series (conditions apply).

The A7R V allows the user to select Raw image sizes and quality. You can shoot in Raw with lossless compression and Medium (M – 26 MP) or Small (S –15 MB) size in full frame as well as APS-C mode while maintaining the same image resolution.

The AF system has been further improved. 79% of the image area is covered by 693 phase-detection points, allowing greater freedom in composing. The AF works in light as low as -4 EV in AF-S mode.
