Overview
New Full Frame 33 MP Partially Stacked CMOS Sensor Rated 16 stops of Dynamic Range (SLOG3 / Sgamut3.cine) Latest XR2 Processor 4K 60p No crop / 4K 120p Cropped in 4:2:2 10-bit 7.5-stop image stabilisation High resolution 4-axis style rear LCD screen Improved cooling and body design Same versatile E lens mount
Sony have just announced the A7 5, their latest hybrid mirrorless camera. This new camera features a new never used before 33 Megapixel sensor paired with their latest XR2 processor. It can capture 4K 60 in full-frame and 4K 120 when cropped in in 422 10-bit. It has an updated stabilisation system rated up to 7.5 stops, improved autofocus performance and detection modes and all the regular recording modes and colour profiles we expect in a Sony camera now! It also has an improved heat sink design which should improve cooling performance and it has seen a bunch of photography improvements as well.
