New Sony A7RV compared to A7RIV & A1 | Wildlife and Nature photography

I have both right now also the 4 and 5, looking to sell the 4 for either A1 or 9lll. Looking towards A1. The 9lll iso stops at 250. That's eliminates a lot for me. Thanks for the video's. You'll were very helpful.

What state are you'll located in. Love the scenery.

Hi, I appreciate your channel's inputs and tips but the voice recording needs to be balanced.

today, would you still pick the a1 over the rv? How about now or would you wait to see if fall the aii is announced?

You said 7RV is ‘’good for birds’’, what about BIF, and, or, a video with settings for photos of BIF? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and advice.

Thanks for the video. I upgraded from the A7iii to the A7RV at Xmas time. Sony was running a promotion and offering an education discount. It was substantially less than $3900. I’m really pleased with it.

Nice comparison but Steve seem very uninterested, he only believes in shooting great images 🤣

This is my first time on your channel, and that cat hat is awesome. A+!

I've watched this insightful video three times as I'm deliberating whether to upgrade my Sony A7RIV. I'm torn between choosing the A7RV or the A1, or perhaps not upgrading at all. My primary objective is bird photography, and I plan to pair the camera with a 200-600mm lens. Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I'm coming from a Nikon D5100, and I've been looking at the A7rV and the A1 for some time. Would like to pair the 100-400mm or the 200-600mm for wildlife and zoo photography. The price tag on the A1 makes me lean towards the A7rV considering the age now. Though, I did see a fast $2000 discount on the A1, which makes the decision a little harder for me.

I like both of you about taking simply and add funny words even I using translate :D. The question: Is the A1 still worth in 2024 or few the next years? If I could buy A1 right now or wait Sony A9 mark 3 launched? thank you!!

Would you say 10fps in compressed raw is fast enough for fast action dogs. Or would you possibly miss the critical frame. Thank you

10 frames per second in compressed raw. 6to 7 fps in uncompressed raw

Hey guys, I want to know is dust getting inside your virefinder. Tks~~

I think the Canon R6 mk II really challenges these higher Sony bodies, especially for comparable prices. You ever tried Canon lately ? 🤔

very good video, i like your channel. I enjoy shooting with the A7 Rv since release and i am very happy with it. Greetings from Germany

So I guess you like it? Mine is just about to be sold not impressed. Not keen on the feel and build. I’m sure they will sell by the thousands but Sony not for me. Thanks

You guys are what a photo channel should be, simple talk, real world experience and both of you seem like wonderful folks, godspeed and keep up the great videos💖💖

Great video guys, thanks!
Looking for faster focussing than my A7r4 gives.
I was looking for you to mention which had better (faster) focus between the R5 and the A1..?
Also, I think on all of the bodies, the lens is the default if it is stabilized, so going from 5.5 to 8 stops of IBIS doesn’t matter with my 200-600 lens…(?)

Great job guys!!!! Steve checked off all the boxes for me!!! I ordered my camera last Friday and it should arrive on Wednesday or Thursday of this upcoming week!!! I'm up grading from the a7riii to the a7r5. I'm much like Steve, because I shoot landscapes, flowers, insects, and lots of birds! I had hoped for at least 14 fps. But I still have my a9 and I love it!!! I have been waiting for the flip screen for a long time! That's why I did not get the a1. This was an awesome video guys thank you for doing it. I'm so excited about my new camera!!!!!!👍👍👍⛱️

The technology is most certainly amazing, and you all do a nice job utilizing it.👍👍

Sadly, not likely that the A1 will get the nice AF enhancements of the A7RV as that would require hardware for AI

I just bought the a7rv and 200-600 combo! My god coming from an A7iii and a D500 this camera is insanely good for the price. 😊

Macro Insect af with 61 megapickles would be so cool with focus stacking. 🐝 🦋

Nice review!!! Want to hear something funny? I have an old Sony Handycam video camcorder. I had this when our kid was still young. That's a while ago. It has a tilty flippy screen. I remember when people were complaining about the Sony still cameras not having that. I posted a comment (either on FB or YT) that the Sony Stills Camera Department needs to walk over to the the Sony Handycam Department and ask them how to put that tilty flippy screen on the stills cameras. They've always had the technical know how on doing this but I can't for the life of me understand why they didn't put this on their stills cameras a lot sooner.

Great informative review "guys"! Man, having that much clarity in the live view tilt screen would be amazing for image review! With my Canon EOS T3i, reviewing images to see what adjustments I need to make to my settings is so hard because I don't feel that I get a true visual of what the image is going to look like when I download it to my computer. I'm also loving the strength and accuracy of the auto-focus and the stabilization. Just dreaming again.

I really enjoyed the images you shared after the review, especially the owls! Beautiful!

I have that combo & it's phenomenal!

Nice to see you had a chance to use the 7RV.  I have been wavering between the A1 and RV to add to my 7rIII now that I I photograph more wildlife. The price of the a1 has been prohibitive thus far. I also prefer the pixel count on the a1. Looks like I will have to rent both to get hands on with my typical shooting conditions.
