Reviewing the Sony A7R V review, Kimberley Lane praised the way the camera built upon its predecessor, the Sony A7R IV. It adds an improved, multi-angle viewfinder screen, AI-assisted autofocus (which Kimberley was seriously impressed by), better video settings and much, much more.

It boasts a massive 61MP resolution and eight stops of in-body image stabilization (IBIS), helping take your photography to the next level, whatever you're snapping. It features in many of our best of guides, including the best cameras for astrophotography, best cameras for low-light photography and best cameras for time-lapse.

Are you looking to shoot in RAW but are worried about running out of space? The Sony A7R V boasts dual memory slots. One criticism our reviewer had was that its camera's high-ISO images are noisy, a potential issue for low-light shooting. However, its AI tools will mostly take care of that. This is a powerhouse of a camera and at $1100 off, you should snap it up before it's gone.

Key features: Full-frame sensor, mirrorless, full-frame sensor, 100-3200 iso range (expanded 50 - 102,400), 8K/25p video, E mount lens mount, 1.59 lbs / 723 g weight including battery

Product launched: December 2022

Price history: The price has previously dropped to $3190, though this is still a great deal and we doubt it'll get cheaper any time soon.

Price comparison: Walmart: $3099 | Amazon: $3298 | Best Buy: $3298

Reviews consensus: Reviewing the A7R V, Kimberley Lane called it "A fantastic all-round camera that can handle most things you throw at it." She was impressed by its AI-assisted autofocus, flexibility and image quality. While there was some noise at higher ISO levels, the AI features were more than capable of handling that.
