Why did I buy the Sony α7V?
I'll share the "decisive reasons" I felt after using it for a while, which I couldn't fully cover in my previous reviews or spec explanations, and explain how it compares to the α7IV and α7C II.

What's changed since the α7IV?
Color, tonal gradation, and ease of judgment.
And, even before the final result,
how has the "time spent shooting itself" changed?

In this video, I talk about the following based on my own experiences:
Why I chose the α7V now
How I plan to use the α7IV in the future
The differences in its role compared to the α7C II
The current state of Sony as a camera.

In the second half, I also touch on my first solo exhibition, "Start-Up."

Please watch until the end.
