Sony A7R IV vs Sony A7R V
Every spec below is quoted from the makers' official pages — where a figure isn't published we say so rather than guess. Sizes are drawn at true relative scale from published dimensions, and the bag-fit row is computed against our measured bag catalog.
The 3 biggest published differences
- EVF resolution: the A7R V leads at 9,437,184 dots vs the A7R IV's 5,760,000 dots (1.3 cm (0.5 type) electronic viewfinder, UXGA OLED).
- In-body stabilisation: the A7R V leads at 8.0 stops vs the A7R IV's 5.5 stops (based on CIPA standard. Pitch/yaw shake only. With Planar T* FE 50mm F1.4 ZA lens mounted. Long exposure NR off.); Image Sensor-Shift mechanism with 5-axis compensation.
- Battery life (CIPA): the A7R IV leads at Approx. 530 shots (Viewfinder) / approx. 670 shots (LCD monitor) (CIPA standard) vs the A7R V's Approx. 440 shots (Viewfinder) / Approx. 530 shots (LCD monitor) (CIPA standard).
