After initially following Sony's A7iii with the latest technology; I recently upgraded to the A7R5 and once again I feel like I have plenty camera with the latest tech to keep me intrigued for a while.. great video!
You made a huge upgrade! I agree with you about the body size, while it isn't too big I still overall prefer the size of the A7RIII. That body with the buttons and dials of the A7RIV and A7RV would be perfect in my opinion.
I don't notice any rolling shutter on the A1 when shooting stills and very little when shooting video. This isn't the case on the A7RV where I see significant rolling shutter in stills and video. I will be speaking on this in a future video. 😃
I think im going to sell my Mark 5 for the A1, i was so unimpressed with the battery life, Jeremy how does the A1 and R5 compare with battery life please, , also when will you do your AF test between the two regards
Both the A1 and A7RV are rated at 530 frames per battery charge, when shooting video you can expect at least an hour and a half. I do use a battery grip when shooting video for an extended period of time and have seen over 2.5 hours of continuous video in 4K 10-bit with this configuration and I still had battery left. In the real world I have gotten around 1,000 frames out of both the A1 and A7RV on a single battery. I don't use a grip when shooting stills and just swap batteries if needed, the only time I see a decrease in battery life is if I am using wireless tethering to a computer. When I first started use mirrorless cameras only (the original A9) I did notice a decrease in battery life initially compared to my NIkon DSLRs but that's because I kept the camera powered on constantly just like the DSLRs I was used to. I quickly learned that it was best to power the camera off during down times, otherwise the camera would often hang at my side and the proximity sensor would make the VF display constantly thus draining my battery. I don't want to rush the AF test and need to be absolutely sure I make it a fair comparison, it's still forthcoming. 😃
That makes no sense, all of this camera's features would have been limited if they used a sensor that high res. Burst shooting, focus tracking performance, high ISO performance, and video would have all suffered. It also makes no sense in the current market, this camera's competitors are still in the 40 megapixel range (Canon R5, Nikon Z7II, Panasonic S1R)... furthermore it's common for Sony to stick with the same or similar sensor for two generations before a big update. Look at the A7RII and A7RIII, A9 and A9II, or even the A7II, and A7III. It's not bizarre if you have the knowledge to analyze the situation properly. 😉
@Jeremy Smith not really, Samsung are just about to release a phone with a 200mp Camera on Feb 1st, Canon will release the R1 with 85mp, and a high mp Rx 120mp Camera. Hasselblad have a 102mp medium format. Sony are basically behind the times which is not where they should be.
Good question, on an "A1II" we will definitively see the new control layout updates and screen design. I believe some of the updates on the A7RV will make it to the current A1 via firmware update, things like the focus breathing comp and focus stacking.
I'm shooting the a7riii and very tempted to upgrade to the a7rv vs a7iv. I feel the awesome EVF, new design articulated rear screen, improved AWB & color science, AI AF and 10 bit 4.2.2. video (and video focusing..see ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_xcBauyBaNg.html)
