I just photographed wildlife at 67MP and 30fps. The Sony A7R VI proves high-res cameras don't have to be slow, but there are still compromises

The Sony A7R VI photographed outdoors.

For years, cameras have fallen into one of two categories: high resolution or speed. But the Sony A7R VI threatens to change that or into an and with a camera that’s both 67MP and 30fps.

When I unboxed the new A7R VI, I knew exactly what genre I wanted to photograph with it: wildlife. Sony’s lower-resolution A7 series without the R, like the Sony A7 V, has long offered more speed than the high-resolution R series. Only flagships like the 50MP / 30fps Sony A1 II offered a balance between resolution and speed.
