Dissapointed with A7r5, shutter sound

Swapping it for the A1.

The main issue for me going forward is mechanical shutters have become obtrusive, I actually resent the noise they make! At least Fuji have made an attempt to 'soften' their mechanical shutter sound but the A7IV and now the A7r5 are ridiculously loud imo.

Throw in the other factors, slow sensor scan, limited fps in lossless compressed, limited e-shutter usage and I'm really struggling to justify buying an expensive non-stacked sensor camera ever again

It’s not a carbon fibre shutter and it travels a larger distance then crop sensors as other points out, there is simply physical limitations how quiet it can be, it’s still noticeable more quiet then older mirrorless and dare I say DSLR.

We have a DSLR still at home and next to that these Sony mechanical are silent as the night in comparison, also some I shoot actually prefer the audible click of the shutter as they use it to change posture.
I can understand the other points but why buy it when reading the specs sheet would tell you exactly that reality, even one review would underline that this is no fast action or vide camera.

Stick with an A1 or wait till A1ii comes out in 2024 would probably be a better idea.

Find it hard to believe you didn't realize all of this before buying the A7RV.

Yes, I was stupid to believe A7r5 would satisfy me after the a7iv frustrations. Turns out A1 is probably the only thing close to what is acceptable for me. In many respects its pretty sad that after nearly 2 years since A1 release nothing from Sony/Canon/Nikon has been able to offer everything I would like in a single hybrid camera body

Well if you’re happier with the A1 you should just stick with it. Other than cost what deters you from getting back one and just keeping it for the next two years until other products get introduced? The A1 is my main camera but I do plan to try the A7RV. I sold both my A7RIV and A7IV so to try it hopefully will be cost neutral. Why am I trying it? While the A7IV disappointed you

I liked its colors when shooting events with people. I’m hoping the A7RV has those same improved colors.

If not will have to decide if it’s worth holding on to. Also I want the higher quality viewfinder, improved IBIS, and combination tilt-flippy screen and interested to see how the new AI assisted AF works out.

I’ve tried lots of cameras over the last five years and thankfully Sony refreshed their 24-70/2.8 and 70-200/2.8 GM lenses with the new version II so they are equal to or best in class. Their othe GM primes from 14mm to 50mm, and 135mm are also excellent and hopefully they will refresh the 85mm GM and the 16-35/2.8 GM but I can weight on those.

I’m trying out the Nikon Z9 and it’s far from perfect and while the Canon EOS R5 is very nice the lack of stacked sensor camera above 24 Mpixels and it’s heavier RF lenses, lack of RF L glass wider than 50mm can be problematic.

Also I assume, rightfully or wrongly, you have considered other brands since you appear to keep buying Sony. Are there any you prefer to Sony overall?

After reading a past thread (posted link) of yours and Sony cameras all i can say is that your a troll rep for Fuji. i have owned a few of the cameras you mention, your not even close on evaluation of even the a74. i use it professionally and the camera is first class.

And-roid has gone through many camera bodies. Don't think they will ever be happy and always chasing the next dream spec. Might as well just perma rent, would cost the same, get latest gear every 3mo to lick on. Be a great youtube reviewer as they would find all the flaws to gripe about.

Canon R5 is better damped/quieter and faster? What is Sony's competitor to the Canon R5. I'm not saying I want another Canon R5, RF is just a whole lot of other issues for me, but as a camera its a model functionally I wish Sony had in their line-up or Nikon.

Not really, its just a sounding platform. I'm interested in others feedback, positive and negative too. Problem is there are far too many people in many of the forums who take honest, factual comments personally as if they are the only one's whose opinion's count. Its better to take comments objectively imo, sure I'm quite free with my comments but I try to be as honest and factual as possible and entirely impartial and without any brand allegiances.

And-roid has gone through many camera bodies. Don't think they will ever be happy and always chasing the next dream spec.

Some people here are more camera hedonists than photographers. Hey, it’s a gear forum. The amusing thing is that they think that their personal, unique pursuit of personal pleasure from gear has the slightest interest for anyone but themselves. Or, more likely, they don’t even care about us.

Not really, its just a sounding platform. I'm interested in others feedback, positive and negative too. Problem is there are far too many people in many of the forums who take honest, factual comments personally as if they are the only one's whose opinion's count. Its better to take comments objectively imo, sure I'm quite free with my comments but I try to be as honest and factual as possible and entirely impartial and without any brand allegiances.

Not really, we just take them a waste of space and evidence of narcissism.

But isn't it comments like this that makes you the narcissist? Im not looking for praise or approval of a decision I'd already made. I was simply pointing out a deficiency that maybe assists others in their decision if they should choose A1 or A7r5? I'm strongly in the A1 camp and I don't care for your approval or praise, I made the decision because..................

Swapping it for the A1.

The main issue for me going forward is mechanical shutters have become obtrusive, I actually resent the noise they make! At least Fuji have made an attempt to 'soften' their mechanical shutter sound but the A7IV and now the A7r5 are ridiculously loud imo.

Throw in the other factors, slow sensor scan, limited fps in lossless compressed, limited e-shutter usage and I'm really struggling to justify buying an expensive non-stacked sensor camera ever again

Find it hard to believe you didn't realize all of this before buying the A7RV.

Especially after all your rants about the A7IV and in many other threads.

Yes, I was stupid to believe A7r5 would satisfy me after the a7iv frustrations. Turns out A1 is probably the only thing close to what is acceptable for me. In many respects its pretty sad that after nearly 2 years since A1 release nothing from Sony/Canon/Nikon has been able to offer everything I would like in a single hybrid camera body

After reading a past thread (posted link) of yours and Sony cameras all i can say is that your a troll rep for Fuji. i have owned a few of the cameras you mention, your not even close on evaluation of even the a74. i use it professionally and the camera is first class.

Nope. Your blindness to yourself is part of the package.
