Sony has announced the latest update to its high-resolution A7R full-frame mirrorless camera line. The Sony A7R V employs the same excellent 61MP sensor as its predecessor, the A7R IV, but gains useful updates in almost every other respect. Sony is particularly keen to highlight its updated AI subject detection autofocus system, which can now recognise a wider range of subjects. But there are plenty of other noteworthy improvements, too. Read our Sony Alpha A7R V hands-on first look review to find out more!
