Soon after the launch of the Sony A7 V, reports of the full-frame cameras’ dynamic range emerged – and the internet became obsessed. I shot with the Sony A7 V, and while my experience was limited to just a few days with the new camera, I did find the camera’s dynamic range impressive. But the camera’s ability to capture such a wide range between the highlights and shadows makes one specification feel specifically behind: The low-light autofocus.
The Sony A7 V is an impressive leap for the series. I used the very first Sony A7 when it was first announced, and the A7 V no longer feels like the prosumer camera that the original A7 was. That gap is exaggerated by the impressive 30 fps blackout-free bursts and, yes, the impressive dynamic range.
