The huge 61-megapixel, full-frame sensor within the A7R V is the most important sensor you may get with out leaping into medium format (which is considerably dearer and bulkier). If that is not sufficient, there’s truly a good higher-resolution risk that mixes 16 photographs right into a single 240-MP picture (as long as your topic is static, e.g., a panorama). That ought to print billboard-size with out situation.

Sure, the megapixel race is foolish and largely over, however I’ll say that I’ve shot fairly a bit with the A7R C (which makes use of the identical sensor).

The quick story: If you wish to document video at full sensor measurement, the A7 IV is the way in which to go. In truth, whereas there are higher nonetheless cameras just like the Sony A7R V, and higher video cameras, nothing combines the 2 fairly in addition to the A7 IV.
