Sony

Sony A7 V

Name: A7 V
Brand: Sony
Availability: InStock

The A7 V is the most complete all-rounder Sony has made. The 33MP sensor balances resolution and low-light capability, the 9.44M-dot EVF is class-leading, and the AI autofocus handles subjects no previous A7 could track reliably.

GearFrame's Take

The definitive full-frame mirrorless. Hard to argue for anything else at this price.
