Official: Sony A7R V announced (pre-orders now available)
As an RIV user, Sony has solved all the quality of life complaints I had about the RIV.
Ultra-sonic dust busting
Tilt and flip screen
Better/faster menu
RAW sizes and lossless compressed
But I was hoping that Sony would do some real changes around computational photography. Yeah, we get focus bracketing (finally), but no in-camera stack, nor did we get that from multi-shot either. If their answer is Imaging Edge, it’s a lousy answer.
The short answer is the RV looks like a nice upgrade, but the cost differential is just too steep for what I’m getting as a landscape shooter for me to actually upgrade.
The one thing that keeps me drooling over the OM-1 remains the computational features, especially LiveND. They just solve issues I have working light and in the field.
