Sony Alpha 7R V (ILCE-7RM5) + Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN II Art

The Sony Alpha 7R V is not only a 61-megapixel monster, when it comes to autofocus this camera can really show itself. Thanks to the AI-based autofocus system, the camera actively supports you in your shooting.

The 61 megapixel BSI sensor of the A7rV

The Exmor R CMOS sensor of the Sony Alpha 7 R V offers a great dynamic range and better noise performance than its predecessor. The IBIS image stabilizer built into the system camera offers image stabilization of up to 8 stops.

The sensor enables continuous shooting of up to 10 frames per second. When using a fast CFexpress Type A card, the buffer memory never runs full and allows recording of up to 583 compressed RAW series.

New sensor with dust protection system

The Alpha 7R V's sensor filter is set in motion, causing dust to dissipate. Furthermore, the camera closes the shutter when the lens is changed.

Up to 240 MP shooting, thanks to Pixel Shift Multi Shooting

Users who require extremely high resolution will not be disappointed with the Alpha 7R V. For example, when using the Sony Imaging Edge desktop app, the A7R V offers to stitch together up to 16 shots, with the software able to detect shake and shift depending on the subject and correct for it.

ISO performance of the Sony Alpha 7R V

Here, the camera offers an ISO of 100-32,000 in regular mode, and beyond that, the ISO can be expanded to 50-102,500.

The autofocus of the Sony A 7R V (ILCE-7RM5)

If you are looking for a camera that displays extreme speed and precision, the A 7R V is the one for you. The new Bionz XR image processor forms a perfect symbiosis with the AI Unit.

New standards are set here, especially in the recognition of human subjects: With the help of AI, the camera not only reliably recognizes faces and eyes, but also entire limbs, such as arms and legs. In this way, the person always remains unerringly in focus - even when he or she steps out of the picture.

Another special feature: the focus of the Sony Alpha 7 RV (ilce-7rm5) also recognizes front windows of airplanes and trains. A dream for every plane + train spotter. But the camera also offers many advantages for cycling enthusiasts and wildlife photographers thanks to AI support.

What subjects can the Sony recognize?

People, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains and airplanes. These motifs are no problem for the 7 R V and make everyday life easier for every photo enthusiast.

The Sony Alpha 7R V's autofocus covers a wide sensor range of a full 76% with a total of 693 points in phase detection. Interesting for videographers: In 16:9 format, the coverage of the focus points on the sensor area is 86%. Precise focus measurements are possible with this system camera at up to -4.0 EV.

Up to 8K video recording with the 7R V

Photographers who also want to take advantage of the camera's video capabilities will benefit from image quality of up to 8K. The new effective heat dissipation allows 8K / 24fps videos to be recorded at just over 30 min without interruption. The Sony Alpha 7R V also offers a 10-bit Pro Res RAW output, which can also be output via a full-size HDMI output. The whole thing is rounded out by 4K video resolution at 60 fps and H.265. As you would expect from Sony, the Alpha 7R V features S-Cinetone™ and S-Log3 with 14+ stops of latitude. Likewise, the camera can rely on Breathing Compensation to ensure a consistent angle of view.

The Alpha 7 R V's high-resolution + sharp viewfinder

Sony has listened to the criticism and has now installed a high-resolution OLED viewfinder with 9.44 million pixels and a 0.9x viewfinder magnification in this model of the Alpha 7 series, which does justice to the high resolution of the camera. Thanks to its 120fps, this also creates an excellent image display in the shortest possible time.

The flexible camera display of the α 7R V

The camera display of the A7R V can be tilted in various directions and thus ensures a high flexibility of the camera, thanks to which even unusual perspectives can be achieved without any problems. This display also ensures a perfect view of the display when you can't use the viewfinder.

Handy and robust: the 7R V

Sony has opted for further improvements to the feel of the camera body with this camera. For example, the grip is more suitable for people with larger hands. The body is perfectly protected from dust and moisture; all buttons and connections are sealed on the Sony Alpha 7R V. The weight of the camera is 724g, which is a bit heavier than the previous model, but can certainly be forgiven due to the significantly more elaborate technology on board.

Connectivity and ports

There are two CFexpress Type A card slots in the Sony Alpha 7R V, which are also compatible with an SDXC card with UHS-II. The Sony is equipped with some exciting ports + features that will not only please professional studio photographers. Most notably is the USB-C port, which transfers up to 10 Gbps and also enables remote control. Furthermore, the Sony Alpha 7R V has a 5GHz WLAN port, which is suitable for tethering, FTP upload and smartphone transfer.

Additionally, the USB-C port built into the ILCE-7RM5 not only offers the ability to charge the camera via Power Delivery, but also a webcam / livestreaming function.

The 24-70mm F2.8 Art has been further developed on all levels:
Optical performance, functionality and portability.
The SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II | Art has been significantly enhanced compared to its predecessor. The most advanced technologies available to SIGMA in design and production have been used.

Compared to its predecessor, the SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II | Art has an improved resolving power over the entire zoom range. It also benefits from functional improvements, such as the newly added aperture ring and the high-speed autofocus with newly developed HLA drive (High-Response Linear Actuator).

In addition, the Lens is approx. 7% smaller and 10% lighter than its predecessor. The new 24-70mm F2.8 II Art is therefore a versatile and powerful tool with which photographers and filmmakers can unleash their creative potential.

Key features:
1.)
Top performance that lives up to the reputation of a top model
The new SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II | Art is the successor to the SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN | Art, which is renowned for its high optical performance, and has further improved resolution across the entire zoom range. It delivers the highest image quality even at open aperture and the high speed of F2.8 ensures a soft and harmonious bokeh. The Lens therefore offers maximum performance in almost all shooting situations. The short closest focusing distance further expands the creative possibilities. Flares and ghosting are excellently corrected and focus breathing is largely minimized. This means that the outstanding creative possibilities of this lens can be fully utilized in both photo and video applications.

High optical performance across the entire image and zoom range
The optical design of the lens comprises 6 FLD and 2 SLD glass elements. In addition, 5 aspherical lens elements are used. Aberrations are thus reliably suppressed over the entire zoom range. Sagittal coma flares in particular are well controlled in order to achieve a consistently high resolution right up to the periphery of the image. The effective correction of lateral chromatic aberration means that high-resolution images free of color fringing can be achieved.

Equipped with 5 aspherical lenses
The use of 5 high-precision aspherical lenses enables both high optical performance with minimal aberration correction and a compact optical design. SIGMA's production facility in Aizu, Japan, has the high-precision aspherical molding technology that allows it to produce the thin, highly polarized aspherical lenses required for this purpose. This has led to a higher degree of freedom in optical design.

Excellent close-up capability
The Lens offers an excellent close-up focusing distance of just 17cm in the wide-angle range and a maximum magnification of 1:2.7. These factors create potential for creative close-ups.
Note:
When taking close-ups in the wide-angle range, the lens hood should be removed to avoid touching the subject.

Low susceptibility to flares and ghosting
Flares and ghosting, which impair image quality, have been optimized for all lighting conditions using the latest simulation technology. In addition, a nano-porous and super multi-layer coating has been applied to the front lens to prevent flares and ghosting as far as possible. This enables brilliant, high-contrast images to be taken even in unfavorable lighting conditions.

Minimized focus-breathing
The optical design effectively suppresses focus-breathing. The changes in the image angle when focusing are reduced to a minimum, resulting in natural-looking video recordings.

2.)
Betterportability and extended features
The SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II | Art is approx. 7% smaller and 10% lighter than its predecessor. The user-friendliness has been improved with an additional aperture ring and two AFL buttons. Despite its greater compactness and improved features, the Lens offers SIGMA's renowned high build quality. With an uncompromisingly precise and robust construction, as you would expect from a professional photographic tool.

Better handling
While the number of lens elements used has remained the same compared to the previous model, the overall length has been shortened thanks to the modern optical design. In addition, the more efficient mechanical design has resulted in a portable Lens with a maximum diameter of 87.8mm, a length of 120.2mm and a weight of 745g*.
Version with L-mount.

Outstanding processing quality
The robust internal structure and the use of high-precision metal parts ensure high stability and durability in professional use. At the same time, the size and weight of the Lens have been reduced. The design has been consistently geared towards the durability and reliability of the Lens.

Aperture ring with "de-click function"
Many demanding users appreciate the ability to set the aperture directly on the aperture ring of the Lens. The SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II | Art therefore once again offers an aperture ring. Thanks to its "de-click function", this feature is also interesting for filmmakers, as the aperture can be adjusted smoothly and silently in this position. Those who prefer to set the aperture on the camera body can use the aperture ring's lock function and are protected against accidental adjustment.

Equipped with two AFL buttons
Unlike its predecessor, the Lens now has two AFL buttons whose accessibility has been optimized for shooting in portrait and landscape format. These buttons can be assigned individual functions with compatible cameras.

3.)
Professional functions, including high-speed autofocus
The SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II | Art has a high-speed AF with HLA drive in order to offer maximum performance in every shooting situation. Other features, such as dust and splash protection, the water and oil-repellent coating of the front lens and the zoom lock switch complete the professional features of the lens.

With HLA linear actuator
The Lens is equipped with an HLA (High-Response Linear Actuator) linear motor for the
AF drive. Thanks to the powerful HLA, the maximum
drive speed is more than three times that of the previous model*, ensuring
responsive AF shots.
*compared to the maximum drive speed of the SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN | Art, the actual AF focusing time may vary

Protected from external influences
In addition to the dust and splash-proof Body*, the front lens
of the Lens has a water and oil-repellent coating. Even
in difficult shooting conditions, you can take pictures without worrying.
* The lens is protected against dust and splash water, but is not waterproof.

Equipped with zoom lock switch
The lens is equipped with a zoom lock switch that locks the lens in the wide-angle range and prevents the tube from extending unintentionally due to its own weight. The lock can be released not only via the switch, but also by turning the zoom ring, which enables flexible handling even for spontaneous shots.

Includes lens hood and case
The specially adapted lens hood LH778-05 is included with the SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II | Art and is securely locked with a quick twist. The Lens is supplied in a matching case for storage and safe transportation.
