Sony a7RV:B&H Photo / Amazon / Moment / Adorama

DPReview added the Sony a7RV to its studio scene comparison tool and you can do your own comparisons here. The Sony a7R line of cameras has always been an excellent performer and it is interesting that the Sony a7RV is starting to resolve some of the details that the Fujifilm GFX100 show clearly even at 6400 ISO.
