Sony A7R VI + FE 24-70mm F/2.8 GM II

Sony A7R VI + FE 24-70mm F/2.8 GM II

This bundle includes the Sony A7R VI mirrorless camera and the 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II 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 24-70mm F/2.8 GM II

The Sony FE 24-70 F/2.8 GM II is a lightweight full frame zoom lens with a large aperture. This all-rounder is ideal for professional videographers and photographers!

Outstanding results each and every time.
This wide-angle lens is designed for FE mount cameras. The constant f/2.8 aperture provides consistent performance throughout the zoom range. Thanks to this aperture, the GM2 version also works excellently in low or poor lighting conditions.

Clarity and contrast, time and again!
Do you struggle with bright sunlight or backlight when shooting or filming? You won't any more! The Nano AR Coating II helps you minimise ghosting and flare for enhanced colour and contrast neutrality. Particularly when you use this Sony G Master for light-sensitive recording scenarios.

All-over focus!
The camera lens has new features when it comes to autofocus and other focusing capabilities. This lens features a new autofocus system that makes focusing even faster, more precise and quieter. This is one of the reasons why this lens is ideal for videography. In addition to the new autofocus system, linear focus is possible, so you experience minimal focus breathing during filming.

The minimum focusing distance of the 24-70mm GM2 is key when taking beautiful images. The focusing distance lies between 21 and 30 cm. This is determined by the focal length at which you shoot. With these distances, it is an absolute all-rounder for you as an image maker.
The four XD Linear Motors deliver faster, more accurate focusing. You're also guaranteed never to miss an important moment again when you're on the road, and you have the option to work without a focus puller.

Zoom options at a glance
This compact zoom lens also boasts new features when it comes to zooming. For instance, you can easily move the zoom ring allowing you to quickly change focal lengths. And that's where the new feature comes in as you can press the smooth tight button, this button makes the zoom ring move less flexibly, making it less easy to move it. This is ideal during macrophotography or videography, for example.

Smooth bokeh backgrounds
The full frame lens features a rounded aperture with 11 aperture blades, which let you get creative with smooth bokeh.

Lightweight and compact for on the go
Are you on the road a lot for your photography and videography assignments? Then this Sony lens is a must-have! The GM2 is a staggering 22% lighter than its predecessor, weighing just 695 grams. Plus, the lens is designed to be a lot more compact than the 24-70 Mark I, as its dimensions of 87.8x119.9mm make it easy to carry in your camera bag.

More than a lens hood
This lens' hood is special. This is because it features a slider that allows you to maintain access to your filter controls, for example a polarisation filter. This eliminates the need to remove the lens hood whenever you want to change filters or switch modes.

Choose your favourite settings
The 2470GM2 has two buttons on the lens that you can customise to your most important settings. This allows you to e.g. switch between autofocus and manual focus with one of the buttons. You can use the other button to switch between silent or incremental adjustment of your aperture with a single click.
