The Sony a7 V is the fifth generation of Sony's all-round full-frame camera, made for photographers and video creators who want one body for weddings, travel, sport and content work. Three things matter most: a 33 MP partially stacked sensor that allows electronic bursts of up to 30 fps, in-body stabilisation rated at 7.5 stops in the centre of the frame, and 4K video at up to 120p. Autofocus uses 759 phase-detection points, and the battery is rated for about 750 shots per charge. Compared with the a7 IV, it keeps the resolution but triples the burst speed, doubles the 4K frame rate and adds two stops of rated stabilisation.
