Some of the biggest changes in the Alpha 7R V come from the new AI features which are even better than those on the Alpha 1. The big advancement: AI Auto Focusing Improvements My first impressions are that the Sony Alpha 7R V takes many of the excellent features that were new in the Alpha 1 and Alpha 7 IV bodies (the 2 main full frame cameras Sony has released since the Alpha 7R IV back in 2019) and packages these up into a very impressive model but with a number of features that are also brand new to any Alpha camera too. While some of you may get excited about the technical jargon - I want to focus this review mainly on practical things that a landscape and generalist photographer will love, comparing these new features against its predecessor the Alpha 7R IV - which I’ve had and used exclusively for the past 3 years. With continuous AF, the best you can do is 5 frames per second.I have been lucky enough to test out Sony’s brand new R series camera before its official release and I am very impressed. Although Olympus advertises a burst rate of 8.7 shots per second, this camera isn’t the best choice for fast-paced sports, since you get that speed only if you disable continuous autofocus tracking.As a result, you may miss a brief moment when burst shooting, but this issue never prevented us from getting the shot we wanted. In our tests, the focus point had a tendency to shift to the background when a subject moved around the frame. Though the E-M10 IV’s AF system locks focus quickly and accurately on static subjects, its performance is less reliable when it’s trying to track a moving subject.Be sure to carry an extra battery for longer outings. At just 360 shots per charge, the E-M10 IV’s battery life is notably shorter than what you get from our picks by Fujifilm and Sony (580 and 520 shots, respectively). But given the complexity of cameras, as well as photographers’ demands for ever-greater control over their cameras, mirrorless cameras will likely never rid themselves of complex menu systems. The E-M10 IV’s menu system, like most modern camera menus, is annoyingly complicated.Weather sealing: A sunshower or some light rain shouldn’t interrupt a good day of shooting or cause damage to your camera. Fast, reliable autofocus: Capturing a sharp photo when you want it, and being able to maintain focus on a subject as it moves throughout the frame, is essential.Second card slot: Whether you want instant backup of your shots, the ability to separate your video and stills storage, or simply the peace of mind that comes from having another card already there when you need it, a second slot is useful.Long battery life: You shouldn’t be interrupted too often by the need to switch batteries.Fast burst-shooting rate: Fast-moving subjects are often best captured in a burst of images.
