The Sony α7 V (model ILCE-7M5) is a full-frame mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera manufactured by Sony. It succeeds the Sony α7 IV and introduces a new partially stacked 33 MP Exmor RS CMOS sensor, the latest BIONZ XR2 processing engine with integrated AI unit, blackout-free 30 fps continuous shooting.
The α7 V brings several improvements over its predecessor, the α7 IV[1][3]:
- 33MP full-frame partially stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor
- Newly developed BIONZ XR2 processor with built-in AI engine
- 7K oversampled 4K 60p recording with full pixel readout, no binning
- 4K 120p recording (only available in the APS-C/Super 35mm mode)
