sony a7rvi body only

the sony alpha 7r vi is a landmark camera that redefines what’s possible from a high-resolution full-frame body. built around a brand-new 66.8mp fully-stacked exmor rs cmos sensor and the next-generation bionz xr2 processing engine, the a7r vi delivers extraordinary resolution without sacrificing speed shooting blackout-free at up to 30fps in full raw. whether you’re a landscape photographer chasing ultimate detail, a wildlife shooter demanding fast and tenacious autofocus, or a filmmaker requiring uncropped 8k, the a7r vi is built to exceed expectations at every turn.

resolution meets speed

the a7r vi’s fully-stacked sensor architecture delivers triple the readout speed of its predecessor, enabling 30fps continuous shooting at full 66.8mp raw resolution completely blackout-free. this leap in sensor speed also powers 60af/ae cycles per second, dramatically improving focus tracking hit rates and tenacity on fast-moving subjects. the bionz xr2 engine handles the enormous data throughput while simultaneously running sony’s full suite of ai-driven autofocus tools, including expanded subject recognition across humans, animals, birds, insects, vehicles, and aircraft.

depth, detail, and dynamic range

with up to 16stops of dynamic range at low iso, the a7r vi captures extraordinary tonal depth in a single frame. extended raw processing modes allow multiple captures to be combined for enhanced noise reduction, improved fine detail, or expanded dynamic range giving photographers powerful tools for demanding conditions. the flagship 5axis ibis system delivers up to 8.5stops of stabilisation at the centre of the frame, with pixel-level precision correction enabled by a high-precision gyro sensor and updated stabilisation algorithm.

stills and video, uncompromised

despite being a stills-first camera, the a7r vi is a formidable filmmaking tool. the fully-stacked sensor enables uncropped 4k 60p and 8k 30p recording, with 4k 120p available from the super35area of the sensor. internal intra-frame recording at 10-bit 4:2:2 ensures professional-grade colour fidelity, and compatibility with the xlr-a4adapter brings 32-bit float audio to the system. heat management has been significantly improved, allowing up to 120minutes of continuous 8k 30p recording without thermal shutdown.

refined ergonomics and usability

the a7r vi borrows design cues from sony’s flagship a1 ii and a9 iii, with an updated grip, self-illuminated buttons for easy operation in the dark, and the acclaimed 4axis tilt screen offering up 98, down 40, side 180, and 270 rotation. the 9.44m-dot quad-xga oled evf with dci-p3 equivalent gamut and 10-bit gradation delivers a stunning, true-to-life view. a new dual charger is included in the box, and the sa-series battery provides an outstanding 600shot cipa rating or 135minutes of continuous video.
