This is - hands down, the best A1 vs A7R5 comparison video ever. Thank you 🙏🏼
Just picked up the R V and heading to Japan next week! so excited. I have the R IV still but couldn't resist upgrading lol.
Hope you’re well Ed.. i’ m interested to see how the a9 III is when it’s eventually released.. I’d consider selling my a1 for the a9 III if they give it some decent video features (and I think it will considering the AP uses Sony now), but I do love my a1.. cheers my man and I look forward to next week and the release of the a6700
I own both cameras and the a1 is superb! When it comes to speed but imo it’s abit wild or too fast when it comes with sports ! But yet I find the auoto focus is more sticky for subjects and the speed is not fastest but it’ is enough for sports !! I sold my a1 and kept my a7rv very happy with my Decision!
Did the same!
Friendly FYI - Panasonic S1H had the same flippy/tilty back screen years before Sony a7RV. My only beef with the A1, besides Sony general lack of firmware support, is that the video is really amazing, but it overheats too easily in any kind of long form setting. Besides those two things, I loved my time with the A1. One of the best cameras I’ve ever owned.
Yes. Indeed. Tilt Up only and flip out screen. Almost like Sony A7rV multi directional screen.
Sonys can articulate more and its much smaller
Currently on a7riii and use it mostly for landscape, Astro and some wildlife/fast action. I get very low success ratio capturing BIF. Now that the a1 is in the $4500 range even cheaper with trading my a7riii, very tempting.
Love this review, please add text for simplicity next time 🙏
I have the a7rv and I love it. I also have the a9, and l love it's speed. My a7r5 has been a great help for me shooting amazing landscapes, I love the megapixels for that!!!! I have shot birds in flight at 10fps and it is amazing. I am amazed that I can crop in and get more reach on the 200-600 lens and still have 26 megapixels to play with!!! I though about the a1 but it did not have a flip screen! If I want more speed I just use the a9. I always the two body with me and 4 lens. (16-35, 24, 90, 70-300mm)👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for reassuring me. I was thinking of selling my a1 and getting the r5. Really like that ai system and the flip screen. But there’s just something about the a1 that makes me wanna keep it forever.
A1 is the camera to be used forever. You can use it without any wearing of mechanical elements ;-)
Me too 👍
Cheers man. Just wondering. Once the new 6700 will be out, are you gonna test it? I would really like to see a comparison to the a7RV in crop mode (Please just ignore the price for a mom). On crop atm (ZVE10), since im usually using fixed focal lenses, tempted by 60MP for cropping 🙂Still would often shoot just crop mode... same goes for video, i really pref crop mode (even on the a7IV I´ve been shooting awhile) ... Thanks!
I will be reviewing it! I think aps-c still has immense promise. If you have been well served by the e10, the 6700 should be a huge upgrade. Thanks for watching as usual!
Sad to say I bought an a7r5 to fill in missing capabilities from the a1. Especially focus bracketing. That should have been a firmware update for the a1. Not a whole new camera purchase.
I would have gone with the A1 but the price difference even used, wasn't enough for me. So I went with the A7RV. It's pretty amazing camera. Do wish it had the no-blackout viewfinder but understand why not. That's really the only thing I miss. I had a A9 and it was my favorite feature on that camera.
Enjoy the RV!
Here Canada, used A7RV 4000$ and used A1 6000$, which one?
How is the handling? is the grip the same size?
Do you think we will have to wait for de A1 mark II to have most of the functions that Sony could deliver via firmware updates?? (Focus breathing compensation, focus stacking, bird eye focus on video) - I bought their flagship camera and now all the less expensive cameras have better capabilities that can be delivered via firmware updates to premium customers (A1 customers)
It's all but confirmed that the A1 is going to receive a massive software update before the end of this year. Should include most if not all of the new features from the most recent cameras. It has the processing power to do so, so it would be a huge mistake if they don't implement these updates to their flagship. A mark II isn't slated for a while so it seems like this firmware update is designed to keep the A1 as their true flagship for the forseeable future
I'm going with the A1 for my next camera, which will be a huge step up from my Nikon D5500.
I'm debating between the A1 and A7rV coming from a Nikon D5100
Do you think I should upgrade from 7Riv to Rv? Mainly shooting landscapes and streets
I would wait, especially if you are happy with the a7riv.
The R5 alongwith Sony 200-600 mm G lens, is it okay for birds and wildlife photography ?
Go with a Leica Q3.
Yes get 1.4 tc then this is best setup as rv has 60mp cropped advantage.
Do you think Sony will come out with the Sony A7SIV? I think this will be the first S series camera that will be good for taking photos.
A1 now is down to £4000
dang
Dude use some b-rolls😅
The A1 is my favorite
Just commenting for the a lgo
If you're shooting birds in flight and/or weddings and events, get the A1. Otherwise get the A7R5
At that A1 price I thing the Leica q3 would be much better
They are targeted for different purposes.
The A1 will be three years old in two months. A7R V has the identical ISO (100-32,000), the A7R V has the new AI deep learning that allows it to recognise more subjects than the A1. The A7R V cant match the video specifications or shooting speeds of the A1, however, the A7R V is outperforming in many other ways including higher resolution. Unlike the A1, you wont need to sift through 100's of images to find a few that work, the A7R V with its enhanded autofocus will produce more keepers...
Yet when I need to truly nail a photo, I always use the A1. The R V is great and the pics are beautiful. But for me it's not worth the Risk to miss the shot. I'm getting 98% hit rates on the a1 at 30 frames
Stacked sensor dude.
Like previous comment I get 98 percent keeper rate with the A1. Most the feature differences you mention make no difference to working commercial photographers. RV which I own also has the better screen but nothing else that’s better in real working shoots.
So I dumped Nikon Z (after being a lifelong Nikon shooter going back to the 80s) because Apple never supported Nikon / Atomos ProRes… Bought my first Sony - and it was the Alpha One - after a lot of research (and a Dell Preferred account that gives me a year to pay it off 😏) Aside from wanting to shoot “stills” for my Theatre 🎭 Video application (Lobby Portraits to Standees) I was sold on the negligee “almost global shutter” capability of the duel processors… not many “action scenes” but the occasion “fight” or “dance” against a low light set could have exposed the shortcomings of a Mirrorless Camera… still might but I’m hoping not! My first shoot was very disappointing as the 8K to 4K to my Ninja (as Gerald Undone suggested) resulted in an “Overheat Shutdown” 🤨 Okay - fringe requirement - but it sounded like Sony put something in this camera that needed a - fan - and fixed it n FX30/FX3 (so that’s my next purchase) Now I hood the 30 FPS sync’d flash works - because that requires SONY Flash Units and SONY Commander Receiver… approaching an extra $1K Welcome to Sony World… but I’m too deep in GM lenses to quit now. 😠
You mean 61 mp not 60
In reality it is 60.2MP (9504x6336 pixels)
