The Sony Alpha 7 V Mirrorless Digital Camera with 28-70mm II Lens pairs Sony's latest full-frame technology with a redesigned kit zoom for photographers and creators who need speed, reliability, and professional image quality. Built around a 33MP partially-stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor and the BIONZ XR2 processor with integrated AI, the a7 V delivers blackout-free 30 fps burst shooting, 16 stops of dynamic range, and autofocus that tracks subjects through challenging conditions.
This kit includes Sony's updated FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II lens, which offers improved optical stabilization, breathing compensation for video, and a compact design suited for travel and everyday shooting. Whether you're covering events, shooting portraits, creating video content, or documenting wildlife, the a7 V kit provides a complete system ready for professional work.
The a7 V introduces Sony's first partially-stacked sensor at 33MP resolution, combining the detail of a high-resolution sensor with readout speeds typically found in lower-megapixel cameras. The BIONZ XR2 processor integrates AI processing directly into the main chip, improving subject recognition, white balance, and exposure calculations without the need for a separate AI unit.
Autofocus performance covers 759 phase-detection points across 94% of the frame, with reliable tracking down to EV -4.0 in low light. The camera recognizes and tracks humans, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains, and aircraft, adjusting in real time as subjects move through the scene.
The partially-stacked sensor design enables the a7 V to shoot at 30 fps with full 14-bit RAW quality, blackout-free viewing through the EVF, and continuous AF/AE calculations up to 60 times per second. The buffer holds approximately 95 RAW frames before slowing, making this camera suitable for sports, wildlife, and action photography.
Pre-capture mode records up to one second of frames before you fully press the shutter, helping you catch moments that would otherwise be missed. This works with both the AF-ON button and half-press activation, giving flexibility for different shooting styles.
The a7 V records 4K 60p video with 7K oversampling from the full sensor width, delivering sharp detail and accurate color without the artifacts of pixel binning. For slow-motion work, 4K 120p is available in APS-C crop mode. Recording formats include XAVC S, XAVC S-I, and XAVC HS with 10-bit 4:2:2 color depth.
Sony's Dynamic Active Mode provides strong electronic stabilization for handheld video, building on the mechanical 5-axis IBIS. Breathing compensation works with compatible lenses to maintain consistent framing during focus pulls. Auto Framing uses AI to automatically crop and track human subjects, keeping them centered without manual intervention.
The magnesium alloy body features dust and moisture sealing around buttons, dials, and seams. A graphite heat sink integrated into the stabilization unit allows extended 4K 60p recording, with Sony rating approximately 90 minutes of continuous capture at room temperature. The 4-axis tilting LCD swings out for vlogging and tilts up for waist-level shooting.
Connectivity includes dual USB-C ports (one for power delivery, one for data), full-size HDMI, 3.5mm mic and headphone jacks, and Wi-Fi 6. The 3.68-million-dot EVF operates at up to 120 fps refresh rate for smooth tracking of moving subjects.
The included FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II lens updates Sony's standard kit zoom with improved optics and video-focused features. One ED element and three aspherical elements control chromatic aberration and distortion across the zoom range. Optical SteadyShot stabilization works alongside the body's IBIS for combined shake reduction.
For video shooters, the lens includes breathing compensation to minimize field-of-view shifts during focus changes. The dust and moisture resistant construction matches the a7 V body, and the compact 293g weight makes the kit manageable for all-day shooting. Filter thread is 55mm.
The a7 V serves photographers who need a single body capable of handling multiple disciplines. Event and wedding photographers benefit from the fast burst speeds and reliable low-light autofocus. Wildlife and sports shooters gain from pre-capture and 30 fps tracking. Content creators and videographers get 4K 60p from the full sensor, AI-powered auto framing, and extended recording times.
For those comparing options across Sony cameras, the a7 V sits between the a7C II (compact body) and the a7R V (61MP resolution), offering a balance of speed, image quality, and video capability. Expand your kit with Sony camera accessories and compatible lenses.
A partially-stacked sensor places some readout circuitry beneath the photodiodes instead of beside them, similar to fully-stacked sensors but with less complexity and cost. This design allows faster readout speeds (enabling 30 fps and reduced rolling shutter) while maintaining higher resolution than typical stacked sensors. The a7 V is the first 33MP camera to use this technology.
No. The a7 V does not support internal or external RAW video recording. Recording is limited to Sony's XAVC formats (H.264 and H.265) with 10-bit 4:2:2 color depth. This is a notable difference from competitors like the Canon R6 Mark III and Nikon Z6 III, which offer RAW video options.
The a7 V introduces a partially-stacked sensor (same 33MP resolution but much faster readout), the BIONZ XR2 processor with integrated AI, improved IBIS (7.5 stops vs 5.5 stops), 30 fps burst shooting (vs 10 fps), pre-capture capability, 4K 120p recording, better battery life (750 shots vs 580 shots), and a 4-axis tilting LCD. The body is slightly thicker and heavier.
Yes. The a7 V offers 4K 60p with 7K oversampling, 10-bit 4:2:2 recording, S-Log3 and S-Cinetone profiles, breathing compensation, Dynamic Active stabilization, and clean HDMI output. The 90-minute recording limit at 4K 60p handles most interview and event work. The main limitation is the lack of RAW video and no recording options above 4K resolution.
The a7 V has dual card slots. Slot 1 accepts both CFexpress Type A and SD UHS-II cards. Slot 2 accepts SD UHS-II cards only. For 30 fps burst shooting and high-bitrate video, CFexpress Type A cards provide the fastest write speeds.
The Sony Alpha 7 V with 28-70mm II Lens combines advanced AI-powered autofocus, 30 fps burst shooting, and professional video features in a weather-sealed full-frame body. Samy's Camera provides expert support, fast shipping, and a full selection of Sony lenses and accessories to build out your system.
