Sony A1 vs Sony A7R V
When comparing Sony A7R V and Sony A1, which one is better?
1. Weight
Weight is really important when it comes to cameras, since you need to be able to hold it for extended periods and carry it about. Sony A7R V is the lighter camera with a weight of 723 g compared to the weight of Sony A1 which weighs 737 g. This means that A7R V weighs 1.9% less than A1.
Winner: Sony A7R V
Regarding weight: A heavy camera can be a pain to carry around and can also make your wrists start aching after using the camera for a long time. Just make sure that the camera you choose to buy isn't too heavy when combined with the lens you want to use.
2. Internal Raw Recording
Winner: Tied — Neither have this feature
Regarding internal raw recording: The ability to record raw video internally is found in cameras such as Blackmagic models. It takes up more storage space but is also more flexible afterwards. We don't think internal raw video recording is a requirement.
