The last few years have been full of incredible cameras and the list just keeps getting longer. Sony’s latest body has received rave reviews for both stills and video-centric bodies. So, is this camera the best choice for photographers creating YouTube content?
Sidney Diongzon raises the question of whether the new Sony a7R DRAW is the new YouTube camera, but it can be put another way: Is the Sony a7R V the best choice for combo shooters? If you’re in the Sony ecosystem or looking to get involved, then you have several next options: if you’re a videographer, you’ll probably be Sony a7SIII. If you’re primarily a still photography person, you should probably pick up the predecessor model of the a7R V, Sony a7R IVA. But, what if you are a hybrid shooter? That is increasingly common.
The new Sony a7R V is barely listed on camera retail sites, but many of the big names on YouTube have it on hand to test, and the opinions are more or less the same: it’s amazing. The specs are worth a look (click the first mention of the camera above) to see exactly what you’re working with—lots of them. What surprised me the most was that it didn’t have the $5,000 price tag I expected!
What do you think of the new a7R V? Are you interested?
