Sony Electronics introduces the Alpha 7 V (ILCE-7M5), the fifth generation in the Alpha 7 Full-frame mirrorless line-up, powered by the new partially stacked Exmor RS CMOS image sensor with approximately 33.0 effective megapixels. The new image processing engine BIONZ XR2 incorporates the AI processing unit functions of the latest Alpha series. The Alpha 7 V body will be available by the end of December 2025 for approximately $2,899 USD and $3,699 CAD.
Additionally, Sony launched the FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II (SEL28702), a full-frame compatible, compact and lightweight standard zoom lens that supports the Alpha 7 V’s high-speed continuous shooting. The FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II will be available in February 2026 for approximately $449 USD and $599 CAD. The Alpha 7 V with SEL2870-kit will be available in February 2026 for approximately $3,099 USD and $3,899 CAD.
“The Alpha 7 V resets expectations on what an all-around Full-frame camera can achieve,” said Yang Cheng, Vice President of Imaging Solutions, Sony Electronics Inc. “By evolving autofocus intelligence, color science, and system responsiveness, we’re enriching our expanding lineup with a powerful new option that provides creators with an advanced tool capable of keeping up with their creativity and bringing them one step closer to achieving their dreams.”
High-resolution RAW processing is now supported through the Imaging Edge Desktop application.
The combination of a partially stacked Exmor RS CMOS image sensor with approximately 4.5 times faster readout speed increased and the BIONZ XR2 processor results in high image quality with minimal distortion. The Alpha 7 V introduces additional 4K recording modes, including 7K oversampled 4K 60p recording[12] available in full-frame mode and 4K 120p[13] recording in APS-C /Super 35mm mode, delivering rich, detailed footage with exceptional flexibility in editing.
