It's not going to be groundbreaking as the standard model, leave that for the a1 II and a9 III which are indeed ground-breaking, especially that world first on a full frame global shutter sensor in a mirrorless camera. The big appeal of the a7 V for me is: Only E-mount and Z has the wonderful Techart Leica M autofocus adapter, which means ALL of my best lenses can now be used with back-button AF for stills. When I go back to a Panasonic or L-mount camera, I have to focus it all manually, such a drag after you have experienced the other way. Then there is the GFX 100, which is now my main system. You are happy to put vintage full frame glass on it, because it changes the look in a very nice way. It makes a full frame camera look like a crop. Darker, softer corners are the trade off - usually, I don't mind it. So if I am to pick up a full frame camera it has to compliment the GFX 100, do things that can't - like the Techart adapter, an eco-system with the most adapters, the outright best mount, great AF, great ergonomics and colour (Sony have improved a lot in these areas), and Sony has a lead in terms of their outright best full frame cameras. Which means, should the a7 V borrow from the a1 II, it ends up rather good - which it is. Whereas, Panasonic's latest $3k cameras tend to borrow from the S5 II, rather than a higher-end $6k Panasonic, which doesn't exist (yet) and no S1H II either. So Sony is attractive for a lot of shooters... And over Canon RF mount, E mount takes the win by far in terms of the available glass, adapters and pricing thereof. -

It's repacked and rearranged sensor data, and it has heavy compression which changes the texture of detail in the shadows, and the noise pattern of the sensor. Have a look at the word raw and what it means. Raw means unaltered, unfiltered, unprocessed raw sensor bayer RGB data. You only have that with uncompressed Cinema DNG on the Sigma Fp cameras. And other fake raw codecs like BRAW are a hybrid codec, it is partially debayered-in camera. -
Meanwhile Sony dropped the price of FX2 in China and now its only $2350. A7V is $2550. -
First time I see the reference to Fake RAw!!! Since when does the ZR has fake raw, in fact it is as RAW as it can be with zero noise reduction etc. I know the ZR does have its quirks, as lacking some good exposure tool for now in software and micro hdmi in hardware. But the RAW and image quality is their. -

Seems pretty boring, in both a good and a bad way. Kind of expensive, which is normal these days, but otherwise, a solid upgrade to the A7 line. I assume Sony is withholding open gate, 7k, and 32 bit audio for their video line, which is fine. 32 bit float is the only one of those that I care about, and only in situations where an external recorder isn't feasible. None of the main brands are a bad option anymore. If I had to pick, I think I'd go for an S1II--which, to be fair, is more expensive--but my S5 is a long way from being replaced.
