A central part of our review process is to use the camera extensively in the real world. The sample galleries we put together let you assess the camera, and provide Raw images that you can put through your own workflow. But, just as importantly, they show that we aren’t making all our assessments from our test chart.
We’ve been using the a7 V for a while and, ahead of our full review tomorrow, here are the images we shot with it. We tried to use it in a range of circumstances and with a number of different lenses, and we hope that some of the shots will to at least some degree, be analogous to the shots you might want to take.
The gallery includes two images processed in Adobe Camera Raw as HDR JPEGs, as this might be one of the ways users might choose to exploit the camera’s impressive dynamic range. For the best results, please download these images and view them on an HDR-capable device.

Our DPREVIEW Tribute:
After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview closed on 10 April 2023. This difficult decision was part of the annual operating plan review that parent company, Amazon, shared earlier this year.
Over the course of 25 years, DP Review built up a reputation as being one of the most informative places to go for information about that new camera or lens you’re after. DP Review began as an independent reviews site based in the UK in 1998, the brainchild of Philip and Joanna Askey, but it was eventually purchased by Amazon in 2007 and relocated over to Seattle in the USA in 2010.
Cheers DPReview – thanks for the great work and content that guided photographers, videographers and techno junkies the world over!
