Release year20252022
Model codeILCE-7M5 (body only) Sony—
Sensor35 mm full-frame partially stacked Exmor RS CMOS; 33.0 MP effective for stills, 27.6 MP for video; 35.7 MP total

The partially stacked design speeds up sensor readout, reducing the skew (rolling shutter) the electronic shutter causes with fast-moving subjects.

Sony		23.5 × 15.6 mm (APS-C) X-Trans CMOS 5 HS; 26.16 million effective pixels; ultrasonic sensor cleaning

According to Fujifilm the stacked, back-illuminated design quadruples readout speed, which reduces rolling-shutter skew on moving subjects with the electronic shutter and in video.

Image stabilisation5-axis sensor shift; 7.5 stops at centre, 6.5 stops at the edge

Measured to CIPA 2024 with the FE 50 mm F1.2 GM lens; results may differ with other lenses.

Sony		5-axis sensor-shift stabilisation, up to 7.0 stops (CIPA); digital stabilisation and IS Boost in video

The 7-stop rating is per CIPA, for pitch/yaw shake only and with the XF35mmF1.4 R lens.

Autofocus759-point phase detection; human, animal, bird, insect, car, train and airplane recognition; down to EV-4 SonyIntelligent Hybrid AF (contrast + phase detection); phase detection down to −7.0 EV; face/eye plus animal, bird, car, motorcycle/bike, airplane and train detection

The −7.0 EV figure is with the XF50mmF1.0 attached; the limit changes with slower lenses.

Continuous shooting30 fps electronic shutter, 10 fps mechanical; blackout-free with full AF/AE tracking in electronic mode Sony—
Pre-CaptureRecords frames from up to one second before the shutter is fully pressed

Helps catch hard-to-predict moments such as a bird taking off.

Viewfinder0.5-type OLED, 3,686,400 dots, about 0.78x magnification Sony—
Monitor3.2-type TFT touchscreen, 2,095,104 dots; 4-axis articulation (98° up, 40° down, 180° sideways, 270° rotation when open)

The screen can both swing out to face forward and tilt up or down on the body axis, so it works for both video and low-angle stills.

VideoUp to 4K 119.88p; full-frame 4K 60p oversampled from 7K (no pixel binning); 8-bit 4:2:0 and 10-bit 4:2:2; XAVC S, XAVC HS, XAVC S-I; S-Log3

Oversampling builds each 4K frame from more pixel data for extra detail.

Sony		6.2K 3:2 open gate (6240 × 4160) up to 29.97p; DCI 4K/4K up to 120p; Full HD up to 240p; Apple ProRes 422 HQ/422/LT, H.265 (including All-Intra) and H.264; 4:2:2 10-bit

ProRes is only recorded to a CFexpress Type B card. Open gate records the full 3:2 sensor area, so footage can later be cropped for horizontal and vertical formats. The optional FAN-001 cooling fan can be attached for long recordings in high temperatures.

Fujifilm
Bit rateXAVC S-I 4K up to 600 Mbit/s (10-bit 4:2:2, 59.94p), XAVC HS 4K up to 280 Mbit/s

High bit-rate recording needs a card fast enough for the chosen format.

Recording timeAbout 90 minutes of continuous 4K 60p 4:2:0 8-bit recording

The duration depends on ambient temperature and settings.

USB2 × USB-C: port 1 10 Gbit/s (USB 3.2), port 2 480 Mbit/s (USB 2.0); both support USB PD

The battery can charge and the camera can run from either port; Sony says PD power capacity is 3–4 times that of the α7 IV.

Shutter and burst—Mechanical to 1/8000 s, electronic to 1/32000 s; about 40 fps with the electronic shutter, 15 fps mechanical; Pre-shot; flash sync 1/250 s

At 40 fps about 175 compressed RAW frames are recorded; these figures were measured with a CFexpress Type B card. Pre-shot records frames while the shutter is half-pressed.

Fujifilm
Storage media—Dual slots: CFexpress Type B (up to 2 TB) and SD/SDHC/SDXC (UHS-I/UHS-II, V90)

Stills can be saved as JPEG, HEIF (4:2:2 10-bit) and 14-bit RAW.
