The Sony Alpha 7 V full-frame mirrorless camera combines professional-grade speed and performance in a compact body, designed to meet any creative challenge.
With its AI-powered autofocus, 33 megapixels with 16 stops of dynamic range, 7.5 stops of image stabilization, 30 fps continuous shooting with RAW+JPG pre-capture, and video recording up to 4K 120p, the Alpha 7 V offers a unique combination for mirrorless creators seeking precision, freedom, and exceptional images. From fast-moving subjects and intimate portraits to cinematic scenes, the Alpha 7 V captures images true to your vision, delivering an experience that exceeds expectations and empowers every creator to reach their full potential.

CAPTURE EVERY MOMENT
Shoot at up to 30 fps in continuous bursts without viewfinder break and with the pre-capture function that saves images up to 1 second before the shutter release. Track fast-moving subjects without ever losing sight of them thanks to the semi-stacked sensor. The Alpha 7 V is ideal for wildlife, sports, and action photography enthusiasts who want to capture every important moment with absolute precision.

REALISTIC IMAGE QUALITY
Achieve exceptional image quality in both stills and video, thanks to the new 33-megapixel semi-stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor offering up to 16 stops of dynamic range, ideal color rendition, and extremely low ISO noise. Combined with the 2nd generation BIONZ XR2 processor, the Alpha 7 V brings every scene to life, from breathtaking landscapes during the golden hour to colorful city nights, with remarkable depth and clarity.

SMARTER FOCUS FOR EVERY SUBJECT
Powered by the 2nd generation BIONZ XR2 processor, the Alpha 7 V uses advanced AI to recognize and track all subjects: humans, animals, birds, insects, cars, and more, with full-body modeling and precise eye detection for both humans and animals. Real-time autofocus locks sharpness onto subjects in both photos and videos, even when they’re moving quickly and unpredictably, so every image stays perfectly sharp and your creativity never stops.

CINEMATIC VIDEO WITHIN REACH
Record 4K 120p (Super 35) or 4K 60p (full-frame) video in 10-bit 4:2:2 for smooth slow motion and professional color grading. Support for S-Cinetone™, S-Log3 cine3, and LUT preview makes it easy to achieve cinematic looks directly from the camera and simplifies post-production.

RELIABLE WITH EVERY SHOT
Enjoy unprecedented mobility with up to 7.5 stops of in-camera image stabilization that keeps every shot steady, even when shooting handheld in low light. The enhanced grip and four-axis tilting 3.2-inch LCD screen allow for smooth, comfortable, flexible, and easy shooting from any angle, so you can focus entirely on capturing the moment.

Confirmed: Sony A7V price is 2999€

The Sony A7V price for the European market will be 2999€. Don’t have the price in Dollar yet….but I guess it will be $2899 or $2999. Usually the price in Dollars is very similar. The Sony FX2 for example is priced at 2899€ here and $2999 at BHphoto.

The speed monster: Sony A7V has Pre Capture and 30fps in 14bit RAW

Reminder:

The Rumor:

Today I can share some additional details about the Sony A7V:

  • It has Pre Capture just like the Sony A1II
  • 30fps electronic shutter records 14 bit RAW. But the buffer ain’t as long as on the Sony A1II
  • AF is calculated 60 times per second, and my sources say it performs superbly.
  • It does NOT have Open Gate

Basically the $3000 Sony A7V is going to be a little speed monster capable of great sports and wildlife photography. The Canon R6III can do 40fps but in 12 bit only.

It’s a pity Sony remains so stubborn about not adding Open Gate. Since this is purely a software limitation, there’s still hope they may reconsider and enable Open Gate in a future firmware update.

What do you think about these new specs?

Sony A7V uses a new 33MP partially stacked sensor and shoots 30fps in electronic shutter mode!

Finally I can say with 95% confidence that the Sony A7V coming on December 2 will feature a BRAND NEW 33MP partially stacked sensor! Let’s get into the details:

This is the world’s highest resolution 33mp partially stacked sensor!

The Nikon Z6III and Panasonic Lumix S1II both use a Sony-made 24MP partially stacked sensor. Sony is now set to become the first to offer a higher-resolution version of this sensor technology. In contrast, the newly announced Canon R6III still uses a traditional non-stacked sensor.

It’s currently unclear whether Sony’s new sensor shares the same architectural foundation as the 24MP version used in the Nikon and Lumix models, or if it represents a new generation design. The existing 24MP partially stacked sensor has a known limitation in dynamic range performance. As demonstrated by Photons to Photos, the Nikon Z6III shows a drop in dynamic range at both base and mid ISO levels. Panasonic addressed this issue in the Lumix S1II by introducing a “DR ON/OFF” mode, allowing users to prioritize higher dynamic range at the expense of slower readout speeds. CineD tested this feature and noted:

Life is all about compromise; hence, this comes at a price. This would be the slow readout speed, resulting in 27.5ms rolling shutter for full-frame mode (with DR Boost “ON” – “OFF” yields a good 12.7ms) – the superb in-camera IBIS can, however, mitigate most of the negative rolling shutter effects for a lot of shooting scenarios.

It’s still unclear whether Sony’s new 33MP sensor will share the same dynamic range “limitation,” or if Sony plans to implement a DR ON/OFF mode similar to what Lumix offers.

30fps in electronic shutter mode:

The Sony A7V is capable of shooting at 30fps with the electronic shutter, while the Canon R6III pushes this further to 40fps—but only in 12-bit mode. At this point, it’s still unclear whether the A7V maintains full 14-bit image quality at 30fps. I’m currently working to confirm this detail through my sources.

10fps in mechanical shutter mode:

The Sony A7V retains the same 10fps mechanical shutter speed as the A7IV, while the Canon R6III edges ahead with 12fps. Interestingly, one of my sources claims Sony may have artificially limited this via software—the hardware could allegedly support up to 15fps. While this isn’t confirmed, it raises the possibility that Sony might unlock higher mechanical and electronic shutter speeds through future firmware updates, especially if the community pushes for it.

Finally: 4k60p with NO crop!

Finally, the Sony A7V can record 4K/60p with no crop—giving it an edge over the new Sony FX2 in this respect 😉

More specs coming soon:

These are the specs I can safely share for now. I’ve received additional details from one source, but I’m waiting for confirmation from others to avoid any mistakes. As always, the devil is in the details—raw specs alone don’t always reveal whether this camera will truly outperform the Canon R6III.

Sony A7V rumored specs :

  • 33MP partially stacked sensor
  • 30fps in electronic shutter and 10fps in mechanical
  • 8 stops IBIS
  • 4k6’p no crop
  • new AI chip like the Sony A1II
  • Free-Angle Tilting 3.2″ Touchscreen LCD
  • 2x dual Type A SD slot
  • no C5 button
  • improved EVF (5.6m dot?)
  • dual USB-C port (gets rid of the micro-USB port)
  • Same Sony A7rV body design.
  • price close to $3000
  • Announcement on December 2
  • Limited batch ships before Christmas
  • Sony A7V Preorders (open on Dec 2): BHphoto, Amazon.

What are your thoughts so far about this camera?

I personally think that while it might not beat the ass out of the Canon R6III…things like superior EVF, autofocus, Image Quality and overall lens availability will make this a hot seller!
