SUMMARY
The Sony a7R VI, priced under $5,000, targets users seeking high resolution without compromising speed, bridging the gap the a7R V couldn't. Its new stacked sensor allows for 30fps shooting at full resolution with no blackout, a significant leap from the a7R V's 7fps. Battery performance is notably strong, with over 400 frames shot on a single charge during a portrait session. The camera also features an upgraded, brighter HDR viewfinder. However, the a7R VI removes the medium RAW file option, requires new accessories due to slight body changes, and has some default settings that need immediate adjustment.
