Sony A7R VI + 28-70mm F/2.0 GM

This bundle includes the Sony A7R VI mirrorless camera and the 28-70mm lens.

Sony A7R VI

The Sony A7R VI combines 66.8 MP with 30 fps burst shooting in a single camera. For this, Sony developed a new Exmor RS Stacked CMOS sensor and the BIONZ XR2 processor with an integrated AI unit. The result is a full frame mirrorless camera that lets you capture both the highest resolution and fast action, without having to choose.

Uncompromising resolution

The 66.8 MP Exmor RS Stacked CMOS sensor has a high readout speed, which strongly reduces rolling shutter and makes 30 fps burst shooting in 14-bit RAW possible. With 16 stops of dynamic range and Dual Gain, detail is retained in the shadows, even in backlight or high-contrast situations. Pixel Shift delivers images of up to 270 MP for large-format prints and reproduction work where no detail can be lost. The new RAW compression system offers three levels: Lossless Comp, Compressed HQ and Compressed, so you can choose the right balance between image quality and storage space for each assignment.

Flagship-level continuous shooting

The A7R VI achieves 30 fps in 14-bit RAW with the electronic shutter, blackout-free. That is more than four times faster than its predecessor, giving you enough frames to capture the decisive moment, even during fast action. With the mechanical shutter, you shoot at 10 fps in 14-bit. AF/AE calculations run up to 60 times per second, keeping focus and exposure accurate in every frame, even when your subject suddenly changes direction. Pre-Capture buffers up to 1 second before the shutter is released, so you capture images you would otherwise have missed. With Continuous Speed Boost, you switch seamlessly between 15 and 30 fps, saving storage space during calmer moments and instantly switching to full speed when the critical action starts. The 5-axis IBIS has been improved to 8.5 stops in the centre and 7 stops at the edge, allowing you to capture sharp handheld images at 66.8 MP in situations where a tripod was previously needed.

Advanced AI autofocus

Real-time Recognition AF+ recognises people, animals, birds, insects and vehicles, and instantly locks onto the right subject. With people, the system recognises not only the person as a whole, but also separate parts: eye, face, head and body, so you can focus precisely on the right person, even in a group. If the subject briefly leaves the frame, the system immediately picks it up again as soon as it becomes visible. The new AUTO mode automatically selects the recognition type, which is useful when you do not know in advance what will appear in front of the lens. With 759 phase-detection points, the AF also performs well in low light.

8K video with professional audio

For video, the A7R VI supports 8K 30p and 24p (8.2K oversampling) and 4K 120p across the full sensor width, all in 10-bit 4:2:2 All-Intra. This gives you maximum flexibility in post-production, without the compression artefacts of long-GOP formats. In Super 35, you shoot 4K 60p and 4K 120p. Dual Gain ensures shadows in dark scenes retain rich detail where other cameras show noise. LUT import and monitor LUT display the grade directly on screen during recording, so you can already assess the final look on set. For stable handheld footage, use Dynamic Active IBIS. Breathing Compensation compensates for unwanted lens movement during focus changes and Auto Framing automatically keeps the subject in frame, ideal for vloggers and interviewers working solo. The new Tally Lamp on the front clearly shows when you are filming. The XLR-A4 XLR adapter delivers 32-bit float at 96 kHz in four channels, separately from the video track. Thanks to 32-bit float, you no longer need to adjust your gain: you can correct clipping afterwards in the edit. The internal microphone has adjustable wind and noise reduction.

A completely redesigned system

The new OLED viewfinder has 9.44 million dots and 0.9x magnification, providing a large and clear view, and is around 3 times brighter than that of its predecessor, a noticeable difference outdoors in sunlight. The colour range is DCI-P3 with HDR display mode, so what you see in the viewfinder matches the final result after grading. The 4-axis LCD touchscreen tilts and rotates in every direction, ideal for shooting from unusual angles. The new NP-SA100 battery of 2670 mAh offers around 17% more capacity than the NP-FZ100, delivering approximately 600 shots per charge via the viewfinder or 710 via the LCD. Charging to 80% takes around 55 minutes via USB-C (PD 45 W), so you can add enough capacity during a short break. Battery Health Check monitors the battery status on the camera and charger, so you are not caught off guard in the field. The two USB Type-C ports offer USB 3.2 Gen 2 for fast data transfer and USB 2.0 for power. Both card slots are dual-format CFexpress Type A and SD UHS-II. The magnesium body is dust- and splash-resistant, the grip is deeper for use with heavy lenses and illuminated buttons also work in the dark. The Σ-shaped graphite cooling chamber keeps the temperature under control during uninterrupted 8K recordings of up to 120 minutes. The camera supports Sony's Camera Authenticity Solution, including the C2PA standard, which makes it possible to verify that an image was captured with a camera and not generated by AI.

Sony FE 28-70mm F/2.0 GM

The Sony FE 28-70mm F/2.0 GM is designed for professional photographers and videographers who demand uncompromising performance. The lens combines a bright F/2.0 aperture with an advanced optical construction consisting of 20 elements in 14 groups. This results in impressive sharpness and detail from corner to corner. The zoom range of 28-70mm makes the lens versatile and ideal for a variety of photography and video, from portraits to landscapes.

The 11 rounded aperture blades create a soft, circular bokeh, beautifully separating your subjects from the background. With a minimum focusing distance of only 38 cm, you get closer to your subject, and the maximum magnification factor of 0.23x expands your creative possibilities for beautiful close-ups.

For videographers, the lens offers unique advantages such as minimum focus breathing, infinitely variable aperture controls and an adjustable zoom rotation speed, providing greater control over smooth focus transitions and a cinematic look. You can also shoot excellent slow motion videos at an impressive 120 frames per second and Active Stabilization. In addition, the lens is equipped with a linear XD motor for super-fast, quiet and accurate autofocus, with advanced tracking capabilities that ensure your subject is never out of focus, no matter how fast and unpredictable it is. Ideal for both photography and video shooting.

Compact and lightweight compared to other lenses in its class, the Sony FE 28-70mm F/2.0 GM offers reliable protection against dust and moisture thanks to its weatherproof construction. This makes the lens ideal for use in a variety of conditions.
