Sony A7 V (ILCE-7M5)
An all-around full-frame hybrid built on a 33MP sensor with fast autofocus, 4K120 video, IBIS and dual CFexpress A / SD UHS-II slots in a 695g body. It's aimed at content creation that spans stills and high-frame-rate video. As a capable do-everything pro body, its 4K120 ceiling is the standout for slow-motion work.
