I’ve had the a7RV for close to a year. IMO, I feel the batter performance is about as good as some as my previous cameras (a7iii and a7riii). That said, I shoot both the FX3 and a7RV and carry extra batteries anyway. As for importing luts, it as is a really nice feature, but I don’t find it a problem using Gamma display assist. About low light, the a7RV was never made as a low light camera. It’s a photography priority camera meant for high resolution at the expense of low light. That being said, I personally don’t find the low light performance bad at all. It’s not a 12, 800 performer like the FX3 or zv-E1 though with 12 mp sensors.

How many batteries you need to last 8 hours ?

Awesome video man! Great to get some insight. I'm rockin the a7r2 so to me this stuff is big leagues lol. Was surprised at how well-made of a review this was! Keep it up!

Hey Collette, great video! Someone had suggested to me that putting the camera in airplane mode helps the battery last longer. I tried it and it does help.

Thanks for the vid and info. Im still shooting w my A7RIII - But am turning more into a hybrid shooter as well. Can't really afford the FX3 + A7R5 at the same time so Im wondering if you'd simply get the FX3 for video only along with my A7R3 or upgrade to the R5 as a hybrid or are the video shortcomings too much on the R5?

[phantomsphotographybyrajac]

Thanks for the rundown. I definitely think it is going to help me choose my primary camera and in my case I am leaning towards the A7R5, thanks for your short and sweet explanation. I would consider on upgrading to a better video camera in the future but for the time being, I guess the A7R5 would best fit me as a Hybrid Camera. Speaking as a Nikon User.

Short and to the point. Very appreciated!

how about storage? how much you have archive storage for storing after work ya?

[jerimiah_cook]

I shoot with Lumix cameras but salute bro you know what you're doing!!! Subbed

[daltonbrowne]

Very similar situation for me. FX3 is my A cam for all my video work, and I shoot a lot of photography for my day job. I have an original A9 but I wanted something I could use as a true B-cam for my interviews, as well as a great hybrid. Just purchased a used A7RV today and I’m looking forward to having it in hand.

Nice review, your voice is so soothing.

Were the video shots filmed in the pixel binned 4K FF, 8K or aps-c mode?

[RandomMotoThings]

Wait did an update happen so you can install luts? Google is telling me you can install luts.

[michaelfrymus]

Wondering how the a7rv compares to image quality and dynamic range to the a7iv (4k)

[YNajjar]

Did anyone feel the body get warm with normal shooting? I’m trying to figure out why mine is getting warm. Thanks!

[jimmbobthedriver]

You are crazy this is top A Camera what are you talking about the battery? It’s excellent.

try topaz video i shoot a7rv at 12500 all the time next to a7siii and even 25000 a few times topaz video cleans up the noise but i haven't noticed color shifts on Rv when using high iso like i do on a7riii or r4 but topaz video is magical and they will do free or deep discounts to establish YouTubers so i have heard

[howardhdavidson]

The problem is that is it a good B Cam .
