We couldn't quite believe this deal when we saw it — we've reviewed a lot of Sony cameras and this one is our favorite. It's quick, reliable and doesn't miss a beat.

We reviewed the Sony A7R V over on our sister site Space.com and gave it a stellar 4.5/5 stars, praising its solid low-light performance, 8K video and overall ease of use and intuitiveness. Although it can do astro, the 61MP sensor produces too much noise for regular astro work, particularly if you use lots of calibration frames — if you want the best Sony camera for astrophotography, go for the 33MP Sony A7 IV (which is also an insanely low price of $1,909 at Walmart).

Key features: 61MP full frame stack sensor, ISO 100 - 32,000 (expanded 50 - 102,400), 10FPS burst rate, 693 phase-detect autofocus points and AI-powered AF, 8K/25p video recording, Dual UHS-II SD/CFexpress Type A slots, 1.59 lbs / 723g including battery, fully weather sealed and 8 stops image stabilization.

Product launched: December 2022.

Price history: Before this deal, the cheapest we've seen it is $3,398 at Amazon during September. This is now the cheapest we've seen by far.

Price comparison: Amazon: $3,498 | Best Buy: $3,499.99 | B&H: $3,498

Reviews consensus: With the best AI-powered autofocus on the market, the Sony A7R V is impeccably accurate for shooting portraits, wildlife or any moving subject. It doesn't have the fastest burst rate, but that only matters if you shoot really fast-moving subjects. Its image stabilization is great for low-light shooting, but the super detailed 61MP produces too much noise for frequent astro shooters.

✅ Buy it if: You want a feature-rich camera to keep up with you for the demands of professional shooting. If you need detailed images, the 61MP sensor will be more than satisfied.

❌ Don't buy it if: You're a beginner or don't need such high resolution. The Sony A7C II is a great entry-level full-frame camera
