A few years ago, we never dreamed that cameras would become this fast. However, Sony's "α2025 V" is rumored to be released in 7.However, we are trying to break that common sense. The keywords for this issue are"speed"It is something that cannot be expressed by the term "fast camera" until now.It is evolving to a level of speed that is on another level.
For example, continuous shooting performance. Current cameras are fast enough, but the new α7 V can shoot up to 1 images per second.Capable of taking 30 or more consecutive shotsIt's not just fast, but thanks to the evolution of AI, it's equipped with an autofocus that gets smarter the more you shoot. I can't help but feel excited that the day is approaching when such a camera will be available in our hands.
In this article, we will introduce you to the incredible speed performance of the next-generation α7V.
Would you like to take a peek at the photography experience of the future?
- How has the speed performance of the α7V evolved?
- Amazing continuous shooting performance and autofocus for a new shooting experience
- How the α7 V is perfect for you who want speed
α7V's "Speed Violation": Incredible Evolution of Continuous Shooting Performance
1 frames per second... What? Isn't that already a video? I can hear you say, but the next generationα7Vis a camera that can do this seriously. The secret is,Stacked CMOS sensorIt's in the evolution of.
This sensor is not just an improvement, but an evolution that overturns the conventional wisdom of photography. The ability to process image data in real time has become extremely fast, making each shot of a fast-moving subject crisp and clear. What's more, there is almost no noticeable rolling shutter distortion.
<Stacked CMOS sensor brings new speed>
- Stacked CMOS sensorWhat is it? A technology that incorporates high-speed memory inside the sensor to dramatically speed up the processing of image data.
- Rolling shutter distortion reductionEven when shooting fast-moving subjects, there is almost no distortion, allowing for natural depictions.
For example, it is useful in the following situations:
- The moment a soccer player scores a goal.
- The movement of a bird's wings as it takes off.
Capturing all of this with continuous shooting at 30 fps is truly cinematic.
Super-fast autofocus that never wavers
AI has become so smart that it can be called a camera's "partner." The next-generation α7 V has a new AI processing unit, further improving autofocus performance.
"Real-time Eye AF"Just hearing the name already makes you excited. But the next generation model will not just improve its accuracy. For example, it will be equipped with new technology that will not blur the focus even in dark places or backlit areas. It will not miss any subject, from pets and children to wild animals.
It's all about speed.
1. Further improved accuracy of Real-time Eye AF
- The already highly refined Eye AF has been further improved to become even faster, detecting the eyes of not only humans but also animals and birds more quickly.Portrait and pet photographyThis provides a sense of reliability that will never fail.
2. Next-generation tracking performance
- A new tracking algorithm accurately predicts fast subject movement and instantly recaptures it even if the subject moves out of the frame, giving you the speed to never miss a shot.
For example, it is useful in the following situations:
- A sports day with children running around.
- The moment your pet jumps indoors.
Faster data processing speed and better buffer capacity for a smoother shooting experience
The evolution of cameras is not limited to shooting speed. The improvements in "data processing speed" and "buffer performance" that support that speed are also essential elements in talking about the appeal of the next-generation α7 V.New engine "BIONZ XR"And the improved performance provided by support for high-speed memory cards will deliver an unprecedentedly smooth shooting experience.
■ New engine "BIONZ XR" produces extremely fast data processing
BIONZ XR is Sony's latest in-house developed image processing engine, which is faster than previous models.Approximately 8 times fasterproud of
The biggest advantage of this engine
- Instant RAW file processing
Processing speed is increased even when shooting high-resolution RAW files in rapid succession, eliminating waiting time after continuous shooting. - Smoother confirmation
When checking images immediately after shooting, there were cases where delays such as "processing" occurred with conventional models. However, with the introduction of BIONZ XR, the checking process can be done immediately, making it easier to prepare for the next shoot.

■ Stress-free continuous shooting thanks to improved buffer capacity
For cameras capable of high-speed continuous shooting,Buffer Capacityis an important factor. The buffer is a memory area that temporarily stores captured data. If this capacity is small, "buffer congestion" occurs, which causes shooting to stop during continuous shooting. The α7 V is said to be fully prepared to support the performance of "speed."
The next-generation α7 V is expected to have the following improvements:
- Significant increase in the number of continuous shots possible
Thanks to high-speed data processing and increased buffer capacity, the number of continuous shots has increased dramatically, making it possible to shoot continuously for long periods of time even in RAW+JPEG format. - Increased writing speed after continuous shooting
Data processed by the BIONZ XR is written to CFexpress Type A or UHS-II SD cards at high speed, allowing the "buffer clear" after continuous shooting to be completed more quickly than with previous models. - Improved stability of high-resolution continuous shooting
Even with images at approximately 5000 megapixels, continuous shooting is possible without buffer congestion, making it safe to use even in professional environments.




■ Flexibility provided by support for high-speed memory cards
The next-generation α7 VCFexpress Type AとUHS-II SD CardIt is highly likely that the device will have dual slots. This support is expected to bring the following benefits:
- Faster storage of large amounts of data
In particular, the CFexpress Type A card has a maximum write speed of over 700MB/s, so you won't feel stressed even when shooting large amounts of data, such as RAW burst shots or 8K videos. - Performance that erases the boundaries between professionals and amateurs
The time is coming when amateur users will be able to easily enjoy the speed and reliability that are essential to professional photographers.
The speedster α7 V is recommended for these people
【Amateurs with professional aspirations who want to capture the moment】
For sports and wildlife photographers,30fps continuous shooting performancebecomes a powerful weapon.
【An everyday photographer who doesn't want to miss anything】
For those who like to record the daily lives of their children and pets,Unwavering Eye AFis the best support.
【Creators who want to streamline their shooting process】
For those who shoot high-resolution images and videos in hybrid format,High-speed processing performanceopens up new possibilities.
Summary: The next-generation α7 V is for everyone who loves speed
The next-generation α2025 V, rumored to be released in 7, is a long-awaited camera for users who pursue speed. Continuous shooting performance, AF, data processing speed -- all of these have undergone evolution at a "speed violation" level.
Imagine.
The AF tracking that exceeds human reflexes captures your prey, giving you the feeling of capturing the shutter opportunity with speed that can be called that of a speedster.
Such a future is predicted to emerge in 2025.
I can't wait! Or rather, I don't have the funds to do it! (laughs)
In this case, there is no way to solve the problem unless you slow down the speed at which the contents of your wallet are lost.
