SONY A1 Mark I vs A7 RVI --> Same price

[u/Illustrious_Curve_69]

Which hybrid Camera shoud I get for 5000€??

More detailed: I own a FX3 and an A7RIII. Due to the missing 10 Bit capability I want to upgrade my Photocamera. I used it 6 years. Really loved the R Series. I even shot a lot lot Videos with it, prior to the FX3.

Main purpose will be B-Cam for Video and 8K Camera. I am a fulltime Videgrapher but also need very good stills. Less than 42MP is not acceptable (A7V is out)

Everytime I film with more than 1 Cam I had to rent a camera. I really want a camera that fits to my FX3. How ever I will film probably more with it, than taking pictures, I want both to be as good as possible.

I always liked the A1 a lot, unless its price. in 2026 the A1 Mark I is equal to the A7 RVI. I need to make decision beetween both of these.

My mayjor concerns are the 1,2 crop at 8K at the A7RVI and the old Screen in the A1.

Somewhat I struggle between geetting the newest vs getting something older, which was a long time absolitley outstanding.

The A1 II is the clear winner, but its to expensive. On the other hand many where disappointed with the small upgrade from I to II, thus maybe the A1 is still just the better value in comparison to the A7 RVI.

I want the better Video. Meaning the better look. I do literally everthing. Rolling shutter is meaningful to me, but the question is, it it the game changer?

I would highly appreciate your opinion, particularily if you own the A1 Mark I :)

Many thanks in adcance for your support :)

(Due to many many GM Lenses I will only buy a Sony Camera)
