See previous notes on the new features of the SonyA7R V.

The Sony A7R V arrives tomorrow. I wasn’t expecting that; I thought I had two more weeks to work on the Fujifilm GF 20-35mm f/4. Looks like some interleaving of effort needed.

But it’s good timing: how might the Fujifilm GF 20-35mm f/4 on the 100MP Fujifilm GFX100S perform against the Sony 12-24mm f/2.8 GM on the 60MP Sony A7R V?

Many thanks to B&H Photo for getting me a loaner camera so soon.

vs Sony

Key differentiators vs the Sony A1 and/or Sony A7R IVa are the new AI-based autofocus, and at long last, the support for focus stacking via what Sony calls “focus bracketing”, and improvements in IBIS. Not to mention a vastly improved EVF and all sorts of other goodies.

Will there be stupid stuff retained, like pixel shift failing to use lossless compressed raw? For that matter, will pixel shift possibly be made a hassle, and not made better? I will find out tomorrow.

Thank you for for ordering your Sony A7R V and all gear all the time these links or any link on this site. It helps fund my work, and it also means that B&H Photo can make loaner gear available for review.
