The Sony A7 V just dethroned Nikon – it’s rocketed to number one in Japan’s best-selling lists and tops our our camera buying guides too

The Sony A7 V camera.

• The Sony A7 V is best-selling model at US and Japanese stores
• It also tops two of our main camera buying guides
• Strong all-round capabilities key to its appeal

The Sony A7 V is currently smashing it on the sales front, and that comes as no surprise to me – after all, our in-depth review from late last year described it as writer Peter Fenech's "favorite Sony camera ever".
