Finally, the Sony A7 V camera has arrived with major updates to the core specifications. The newly announced camera features a new 33-megapixel stacked CMOS sensor paired up with the latest BIONZ XR Mark 2 image processor. Now, if you’re searching for the sample images of the camera, then you have reached exactly the right place where we are going to analyze the images of the Sony A7V camera captured at 100 per cent scale. So, let’s begin the journey.
Why the Sony A7V Delivers Unmatched Image Quality
We are not comparing any camera here. We are just talking about the image quality and the performance of the recently announced Sony A7V camera, so we will be limiting our discussion to the performance and the quality of the A7V’s recently announced 33-megapixel stacked BSI CMOS sensor.
Now before we begin, I should at least add this note that the Sony A7V is the only camera that features a BSI partially stacked CMOS sensor. Other than that, we do have an R6 Mark III camera with 33-megapixel resolution, but unfortunately, it uses an FSI CMOS sensor, not even BSI or stacked. The Nikon Z6 Mark III camera does use a 24-megapixel BSI stacked CMOS sensor, but unfortunately, the readout speed of the camera doesn’t cope with the DR range. So that’s enough for the competitors in the sample image article. Now let’s dive deep into the samples.
FE 50mm F1.2 GM | 50 mm (35 mm equiv. 50 mm) | 1/800 sec | f/4 | +0.0 EV | Manual | Multi-segment metering | ISO 100

The Image is available at 100% scale, as you can notice how mauch details the camera is able to capture even when viewed at 100%. So, without a doubt, the performance of the newly developed 33 MP BSI Stacked CMOS sensor is exceptional here.
As you can notice, how many details are visible, each lash is visible with macro level detailing, but again, is Sony still focusing on lashes in 2025? since the sample image is capturedby sony professional, but the focus seems to be locked on lashes instead of the eye.
Exploring the second eye at 100% scale, even in the left eye, the details at fantastic, and we can measure pixel-level details, but yes again the AF is locked over the lashes.
FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II | 136 mm (35 mm equiv. 136 mm) | 1/4000 sec | f/2.8 | +0.0 EV | Manual | Multi-segment metering | ISO 200
Sports Portrait Mastery: Freezing Face at 1/4000th of a second
Even while capturing at 1/1000th frame per second, we do have an acceptable amount of details visible at 100% scale. But, in the end, we have to say that at higher speed we have to compromise with details as well as the DR range of the image
