Alpha 7R V evolved AI is covered in this just-uploaded video from Sony. You will see how much the subject recognition of the α7R V has evolved from the previous model with a concrete comparison video. Also, when shooting portraits in vertical orientation, wider phase-detection AF area (compared to the α7R IV) allows greater framing freedom.
Additionally, the α7R V features a new AI processing unit that is dedicated to artificial intelligence processing, including deep learning. State-of-the-art AI processing uses detailed information about human skeleton forms and poses to dramatically improve the camera’s subject recognition accuracy and make full use of its potential resolution

AI subject recognition has expanded to include a number of new subject types, including vehicles and insects. I shared my experience with insect mode in this post. What else is going in, is the 8-axis stabilization that’ll keep things in focus when handheld. Like, the paparazzi-style photo I got at night without a flash or tripod.
Read the rest of my experience here and the specs are below particularly the selectable RAW compression. Likewise, from what I understand, if you expect to shoot with the a7r5 this year preorder now from B&H or a retailer near you.
