Product description

Rent a Sony Alpha a7R V when you need extreme resolution and reliable performance in a full-frame mirrorless body. This camera combines an updated 61MP Exmor R back-illuminated sensor with Sony’s BIONZ XR processor and a dedicated AI unit, delivering stunning detail, excellent low-light performance, and highly intelligent subject recognition for both stills and video.

The Sony a7R V offers UHD 8K 24p and 4K 60p 10-bit recording, advanced five-axis image stabilisation rated up to 8 stops, and an autofocus system that tracks humans, animals, birds, vehicles, and more with remarkable accuracy. A high-resolution 9.44M-dot OLED viewfinder, fully articulating 3.2" touchscreen, dual CFexpress Type A / SD card slots, and robust connectivity make it a powerful, dependable tool for professional photographers and hybrid creators.

What’s changed?

The Sony a7R V introduces substantial upgrades over the a7R IVA. A dedicated AI processing unit drives a new subject-recognition system, dramatically improving autofocus performance for humans, animals, birds, and moving vehicles. The in-body image stabilisation system has been re-engineered with new gyro sensors and more processing power, now delivering up to 8 stops of correction for steadier handheld shooting.

Video capability has taken a clear step up with internal 8K 24p and 4K 60p 10-bit recording, alongside improved downsampled 4K options from 6.2K in APS-C/Super 35 mode. You also get more flexible RAW still options for smaller file sizes, a fully articulating dual-tilt rear LCD, a significantly upgraded viewfinder, focus bracketing, and support for faster CFexpress Type A memory cards.

Performance & operation

The a7R V’s 61MP sensor delivers incredibly detailed 14-bit RAW files with excellent colour and tonal latitude, ideal for large prints and heavy cropping. Native ISO 100–32,000 (expandable to 50–102,400) keeps noise under control, while continuous shooting at up to 10 fps with full AF/AE tracking allows you to capture fast action even at full resolution.

For video, the camera records 8K 10-bit footage at up to 24p and 4K 10-bit up to 60p, with options for oversampled 4K from a 6.2K APS-C/Super 35 crop. XAVC HS and XAVC S-I codecs provide robust internal recording, and 16-bit RAW output over HDMI gives maximum flexibility for grading. S-Cinetone, S-Log3, and Hybrid Log-Gamma profiles offer a broad dynamic range and natural, cinematic colour straight out of camera.

The updated stabilisation system keeps both stills and video steady, and the new Active IS mode offers smoother handheld footage. Ergonomics are refined with a deep grip, intuitive control layout, a vari-angle touchscreen for flexible composition, and an ultra-detailed EVF for accurate framing and focus checking.
