Some clarification.. A7IV ONLY has 4K60 in Super35 mode. No Full Frame 4K 60. Also 8K is 24 only!
Also the face Registration and priorisation is something I can already do with my a7iii. I think it’s such a brilliant feature!
Have you seen the AF comparison to the A1 from the Northrop’s?
it's effectively the same thing with the 1.2 crop on the a7r5. sad
The A7RIV doesn’t shoot 4k60.
I think you’re combining features of the A7Riv and the A7iv many times.
Also-the A7Riv does not shoot 8K.
I would consider revisiting this video for accuracy.
@@Originoutfitters I believe he's talking about the A7RV, not the A7RIV. The A7RV does 8K 24p. But I can imagine it roasts the camera. But who needs 8K anyway when Netflix still uses 1080p upscaled to 4K...
The fact that you can switch between photo & video modes and you don’t have to think about switching to and from S-log is reason enough for me personally.
The A7IV does this too, just so ya know 😉
Ohh I didn’t know! I’ve still been using the A7r3
Yes, a dedicated video mode knob is awesome!
Does the a7siii not do that?
@@DB-lr6kl it doesnt
I've seen about 8 reviews of the Sony A7RV and some say don't use for video and some say use for video. Since I now own a Sony A7RV with a couple of Sony GM II lenses, I can positively say A7RV does extremely good video all the way up to ISO 6400, above that and I start to see some grain but haven't really needed to go above 6400. 8K video is not good unless you do slow moving pans on landscape, but 4K60 in all situations works extremely well and HDR and much improved color accuracy.
Agree!!
Sir is it better than A74 in terms of videography ?
@@BiratsUncutVlogs A75 for 4K 60 yes, for 8K 24 neither ... the GM 50mm 1.2f works extremely well in/out doors for videography and low light conditions.
the screen is not just higher resolution but also has P3 wide gamut which makes it way better and much more accurate
Thank you. I’m personally not a video shooter but really enjoyed it. I bought the A7RV when it came out and really happy with it’s still’s performance and new features the have added for AF and other things. Please keep your videos coming. Take care.
I was waiting for this
Great video as usual, Chris. I noticed my A7iv also has face registration/memory AF. Is that feature any different on the A7Rv?
I love your page man! The sharper screen on the camera is something that is super important to me. I don’t know if you’ve used Canon, but is it more similar to how sharp and rich the canon screens look?
Great rundown Chris! I am excited to see all of this new tech that Sony is implementing.
Great video as always. Q - Can it shoot 4K video for 8 hours straight without overheating like i can with my FX6 ?
4K no limit. Same heatsync as the A7SIII
Hi , Is the Full frame Xtra fine 26 MP JPEG also benefitting in Low light on A7R5 compared to 61 MP JPEG. Can u suggest on it .
i am basically a JPEG shooter and confused between buying a74 and a7r5 , i have good budget for a7r5 and will pull the plug for it , if 26 MP JPEG is also benefitting in low light. You can shoot in 61MP in good lighning for extra detail and resolution on A7R5 and switch to 26 MP for low light benefits if light goes down.
i have read that medium RAW benefit in low light , but so should 26 MP jpeg too , just wanted to confirm with you on it . Thank you.
Waiting for a7v 😊
now the price has come down & still no news on an a7v Im actually considering the a7rv .. I hate the flippy floppy screen we have seen in all the recent Sony bodies so this new up & down & side to side screen looks great . great review Chris ..thank you
R5 or fx3 for video???
Istead of programming faces, I would prefer to see Sony implement Canon's idea which is to use the joystick to select which face to track. This is much faster and much more convenient. This way you do need any prior time and it's better for run and gun like weddings.
In fact you can do this as well on the a7r 5
Face register is old tech but is it better from previous model?
Just looking out 💯✊🏾
what camera did you shoot this video with?
We had a good time in NY. I never got to see this footage hahah. I saw me :)
hi could you share your camera and LEN name which you used to recoder this video ?
I don't know if I should get the fx3 or a7siii
One very big problem - Rolling Shutter! a9 III, FX-3, a7s III or ZV-E1 will be much better choice.
Noticed the pacing on this video is slower than previous. Nice. Experimenting different styles?
Always mixing it up.
Chris, so it can do 8k 30? Because everywhere on the specs, they say it can only do 24P. Thanks
Just 24, I added a pinned comment to clarify. Thanks for watching!
Z8 or A7R5 which one is better?
Thanks for the breakdown Chris! I’m wondering if the 8k functionality could open up doors to having the ability to offer single shooter video & photo packages for things like weddings since you would have the ability to provide 33.2 MP stills taken from whatever video you capture. 🤔 Any thoughts around doing something like that?
Main drawbacks would probably be bad rolling shutter, slower shutter, less stabilised, less DR than shooting a nice RAW photo. But you could potentially get some useable stuff that way.
Appreciate this is a quick overview, but would like more of a close look into video results alongside previous models.
How does the rolling shutter affect the performance in your video jobs Chris? Could you use this camera only for all your video jobs? Coming from a Sony A7RII thinking that it might be time to upgrade :)
Just take a9 III!
I've been trying to look for videos discussing the 8 stops of IBIS, so thank you!.... but isn't active stabilization digital with a bit of cropping? So essentially in the clips where active was "off", that was just the IBIS working (which unfortunately seemed bad)? Is their 8-stop claim just a marketing tool? With that said, active on looked fantastic! I just want to understand the tech properly. Thanks again!
Yeh active off is No (decent) Stabilization unless the lens has OSS. With it on its 1.1x crop
This definitely needs to be made clearer.
How can I get the old film overlay at the beginning of the video? Can you help me?
Chris, hope you’re well. Did you sell your A7S iii and buy the R V? I’m asking as I’m really tempted to do the same for all those extra features. The things holding me back are; crop on 60 fps, I never use 120 fps anyway and the low light performance but I agree with you, I don’t think I’d need 12800 and haven’t used it at all with the A7S iii really so that shouldn’t be an issue. Interested in whether you did make the jump? Thanks !
@@zmo190 I got the A7RV and I’ll be honest I love it :-)
You have a British accent, are you shooting PAL, or are you on NTSC ??
Is it true, that when recording video, you can select a subject to track with a button instead of touching the screen? Useful when using a 600mm lens for video.
Does it have clear image zoom?
This or the fx3 ?
Does it have touch screen autofocus in video ??
Funny :-) Face Registration + Face Priority features has my 5yo RX10 IV (and I use it a lot).
If I am not mistaking you can not combine OSS in lense with IBIS. I think you will only get one or the other. There are test on other cameras saying this at least.
1:54 iPhonedo 🖤
I have the Face Registration feature in my a7r IV. I'm pretty sure it's been around since the r3. I don't think that has anything to do with the new A.I., since it's been around for quite a long time.
On my a7iii I can use this feature too, so incredibly helpful
Just watched your video.
Great video, and a fair enough review.
A couple of points from me though:
a7rv is a hybrid camera, but it’s mainly a photography camera. It’s purpose is to mainly shoot photos. 61MP are way to many pixels, meaning they are quite small physically (thus not best for low light) and give issues such as rolling shutter since the amount of data being processed is extremely big. A professional videographer won’t even look at a7rv for video. Given all that, I only find a7rv usable for being on a tripod to shoot videos with not much movement like you tube videos.
On the other hand Fx30 & a7siii are video oriented, and have a low resolution of 12 MP, because it gives advantages like low rolling shutter and greater low light performance since the corresponding sensor’s pixels are bigger.
For someone who’s a professional videographer/photographer having both these types of cameras is a must.
Overall, still a1, sony’s flagship is a better option over the a7rv for those who have the budget, but still, a7rv is an excellent photography camera.
Anyway, let’s also wait for sony to reveal something like an a7siv or a7sv in the upcoming years. I believe they are going to adapt the AI features of a7rv
But you don't have to operate at 61 MP when doing video, in fact, you will not be for 4K60 so I don't really understand why some reviewers (not all) skip this? There is also multiple formats to choose from if one doesn't have a CFEXpress card in the slot(s). Image stabilization works well for my A7RV especially with Sony's GM II lenses. I don't find any low light issues with camera modes setup correctly (I map 3 modes to the wheel one specifically for very low light).
Hi,
Rolling shutter and image stabilisation are different things (in case you are referring to it).
Because you are mentioning 4K60fps:
At 4k60 you get 1.2 cropped and binned image sequences from an 8K sensor.
Cropped means not good. Also binned means not good. a7siii/fx30 are still winners in this category.
Regarding low light, the dual base ISO resulted from the larger sensor pixels, at 640 and 12800 that the a7siii and fx30 offer is unbeatable - pair it with slog3 gama curve and you get an out of this world result.
I’ll say it again, a5rv is a great camera for both video and stills. But if you want to shoot a high end movie - you just can’t go with it.
@@picturesfocused3115 I've shot commercial TV footage on a GoPro and iPhone so not really sure what your reference is to "high end movie" ... seems a bit generic. If you are referring to big budget films then none of the above and more like cameras/lens in the $300,000+ range.
Yes I know rolling shutter and image stabilizations are different, not sure why you brought that up?
Back to the Sony A7RV, yes 4K60 4:2:2 10 bit is 1.24 crop ... sorry but 12MP of the A7SIII just isn't in the same ballpark as the Sony A7RV.
Why are people hating on the a7r5 video? Only difference is low light (no 12,800 dual gain) and no 4k120. Can still shoot 1080 120 in 10bit 420 in S&Q mode. To me, noise and low light is the biggest difference. Also great photography with that resolution. Rolling shutter isn’t that bad except in 8k and crop mode in 24 and 30. Ibis is insane on a7r5 and auto focus is everything you’ll ever need. Seems future proof.
Yeh it’s one of the top cameras of the year
@@chrisbrockhurst have you noticed the ibis takes a hit with 3rd party lenses? My 24 gm paired with a7r5 is insane ibis. When I put 3rd party lenses, it’s like it’s back to the original ibis and not as good..
how about the overheat issue? is it durable for heat?
Yes unlike the smouldering A7IV 🔥
Chris, face recognition has been around a long time. My 13 year old APS-C Sony Nex 7 has face recognition.
5:37 the a7iv can do 4k60 in super35 crop
A7iv also does 4k 60 in super35 mode :)
Yeh but not full frame mode too.. your forced to use super35 for 4k 60 🙃
Is it better than the fx3 for video??
That’s what I’d like to know. It seems like more people like the fx3 for strictly video
a7 rv or a7 iv ??
how about slow motion? can you do 120fps? what is the highest quality u can get on that?
Only 60
*5:40 also the A4 has Super 35 4k 60
I could be wrong but I think active stabilization is a 1.1x crop
Correct. Adds a .1 crop
@@chrisbrockhurst so with an a7IV, 4k 60p has a 1.5x crop in addition to another 1.1x crop for active stabilization.
Your saying the a7RV has a 1.2x crop in 4k 60p but only a 0.1x crop if you use active stabilization?
Do you think if i bought the A7 RV that i would need the FX30 as well as i was going to perhaps get both, but thinking the v might just do it all.
4:32 NO STABILIZATION IN 8k!!!!!!!! Wow. That's a big deal.
I have the A7RV and use it primarily for photos but for some videos in properly lit scenarios. I also have the FX3 and that is the camera body you want for video if you aren't looking to go above the $4k dollar amount. Running both of these cameras is an amazing ecosystem that I am complete happy with.
With all the crop and rolling shutter? WIsh they give us a bit more.
That flip out screen design looks shajt
Hi! Question: there is no 120 slow motion in Sony R5 A7 R5 at all??
there is
Btw I got the A1 but having second thoughts about getting the a7RV for hybrid shooting
@BrownBraniac I like the new body of the a7RV, the A1 have the older body. I know about the specs, but in the handling, I hope we get the car AF
The main advantage with the A1 seems to be that you could have been enjoying all these capabilities for nearly a year now.
@@bluedeskfan2754 I think the sensor its better, but not sure as i havent tested the A7Riv
blows my mind that some of the most expensive cameras lack raw internal recording
Thanks to Red patenting that tech.
IMHO it already has better AI than phones (autofocus + I don't think we need to add unnatural blurry backgrounds + HDR mode and more already exists for JPEG).
Heads up: Title says "A7R IV" rather than "V".
Thanks 🙏🏼
Bro the 8k video only 24fps & 25fps
This Face registration feature is kinda old, my old a6300 had it already
Can it shoot 4k 24p with no crop?
Yes
4:32 NO STABILIZATION IN 8k!!!!!!!! Wow. That's a big deal.
It seems like this A7RV is arguably better than the A1
pretty sure the a7RV is going to be a stellar landscape camera. anyone knows if it would be a good astrophotography camera or low light landscape camera in general?
@@Burritosarebetterthantacos i dont doubt that. but what about low light photos? milky way photos, nightscapes etc? will it hold up well or even surpass the a7iv?
@@Burritosarebetterthantacos already got all the great ones 😅
Were people able to do astrophotography 10 years ago? Would imagine this would outperform any consumer camera back then.
In the title says A7RIV instead of A7RV?
Fixed. Thankyou
All of these of these cameras are tools to get a job done. Buy them if you think you need a specific feature. I needed 4K 120p so i bought the A7S III and for my regular run and gun video I decided on the Panasonic G9 II was for me.
Wait, this would be a B or C camera to an FX3...? I was all in until you said that. I'm looking for that perfect great stills 'and' video camera instead of lugging two on trips, like with my BMPCC6K and my Nikon D850. But, I want the video to be solid. I'm rapidly learning about this.
Is it good b cam?
@@Trillavision I ending up going with the Nikon Z8 and it was absolutely the right call. I forgot about Nikon's video side, but they were off the grid for a while. This one packs a huge punch; onboard raw, 8K, 12 bit, etc. It blows any other DSLR out of the water 'and' still has 45+ mp still photos. For me on vacation, this was amazing. I just got back from Europe and it was so easy flipping back and forth from still to video, knowing that I was getting professional video. The tricky thing is, though, that it shoots Nikon's raw (N-raw) or ProRes raw. You have to decide what you're editing in... ProRes works in Premiere but not Resolve... N-Raw works in Resolve but not Premiere.
PIZZA.
My a73 and r3 has face detection the same as you described? This might better but to be honest I never really used it. Even at weddings
Bagaimana nasib saya yang masih menggunakan alpha a77v
IBIS video handheld is better but still has that jerky catch up twitchiness?🤔
Panasonic's still looks better IMHO
Yeah, the S5II stabalisation is impressive for £2000 camera, Im hoping to see a comparison soon
Should I sell my a7sIII and by this one for Vlogging and travel videos? Thanks
NOOOOOOOO why would you do that?????😮
Does a 61mp mean you will get large files?
Yep
@@chrisbrockhurst what will Large files help with?
@@royaltykidstvcropping; larger prints
@@ARes13FOX thank you
Sorry who's the creator eating the pizza at the beginning of the video again?
Well its interesting how dp review actually says this came is no good for video... rolling shutter
In 8k
The 8k video is only 420 not 422.
No 8K 30 fps.
good luck with 8k and compatible memory cards for that
Sony A7rv can not shot in 8k at 30p its only 24p or 25, you got it wrong.
Yep I said that in the pinned comment
@@chrisbrockhurst The comment is not pinned at least not anymore.
After looking at the few real example other than the talking head I would say this is quite average for video. What exactly makes it great? I am really not clear
These videos increasingly sound like sales pitches. It makes it very hard to see what is actually worth buying and what is not, especially at such premium prices. And the omission of 4k 120fps actually is a huge big deal. Shooting at 4k 120fps is actually essential for close up scenarios. And second to that it can be very useful when you don't want to use a gimbal. Sony have removed it from the A7rV feature list to give you a reason to buy their FX30.
if you don't want the free info were putting out no offence taken fella, all your witnessing is excitement about new features from someone who uses cameras for a living. 120fps isn't an omission from my understanding, it's a different camera with a different sensor to prioritize MP and Photos so likely not possible in a stable form. A7SIII and FX3 have 12mp sensors that prioritize video.
@@chrisbrockhurst Free info is great but I think fair critique is extremely important. Maybe I am wrong but being an influencer might remove that ability. I don't mean that in any negative way towards you, it just makes it harder and harder to know what is 'true' when one is considering spending thousands on a new camera body. All these latest cameras have pros and cons for sure but it's getting harder to find out what the cons are in advance and if they make or break my use case for said camera.
@@Steve31000 no offence taken, my best advice is to watch a few videos these days and gauge your own opinion.
a video camera to make video, okay, but not a camera to make video the quality is not the same, it's like a car to go to work, I'm going to put it in a circuit automobile and racing. Don't need everything. Mix video or photo
SAD THE A7RV WILL NOT BE A NETFLIX RECOMMENDED CAMERA.
Bro you spelt A7RV wrong.
You put A7Riv
Thankyou, fixed!
😂 Chris… come on… A7RV is NOT for video. The rolling shutter alone is a big problem, let alone the pixel binning and crop. Just go for the Z9 if you want an affordable 8k camera, otherwise, the A7siii packs the biggest punch for the price $$$
Have you used it?
@@chrisbrockhurst No, I have used the A7siii, Z9, A7IV, D850 and A7RIV. Given the great tracking performance in 8K on the Z9, I decided to stick with that as the hybrid go to. But the A7Siii is still king of video. 8K files are huge and slow, even for a fully powered Mac M1 Max. Haven't tried the M1 ultra. If you want to focus on video, I would recommend the FX3 instead of the ARV. The only thing I do regret is not getting the FX3 instead of the A7siii. The only camera I would categorise as "great" for video is the A7siii. The rest are good.
It is all about semantics really isn't it. I just feel that talking up the video as being great on the A7RV is a bit misleading when there are far better choices for video.
DPReview's video capabilities show clearly it's underwhelming. Also, the northrups did a test on the AF against the A1 and the A1 performed better for wildlife.
A7Siii is even more amazing for video.....lol. Stick with stills on this body bud
paid software update hahahaha no more freee,
That 8k is utterly useless… so much rolling shutter even iPhone shoots better 8k 🫤😐🫤
Just looking out 💯✊🏾
Appreciate you
