Sony’s A7 IV and A7R V cameras are top picks in Engadget’s camera buying guide and they’re both now on sale for the holidays at all-time lows. Sony’s A7 IV, which I said has “the best combination of image quality, performance and video powers,” is on sale for $1,998, or 26 percent off the regular price. And the A7R V, which shoots beautiful 61MP photos and offers fast and accurate autofocus, is down to its lowest discount ever at $3,298, or 21 percent ($898).

With a stellar score of 90 in my review, Sony’s A7 IV is still one of the best hybrid cameras you can get thanks to the high resolution, fast shooting speeds, and 4K 60p video. The autofocus is incredible for both video and stills, and it comes with in-body stabilization to help smooth out your shots. And for photographers, image quality has never been better thanks to higher dynamic range and improved resolution than previous models. Although it occasionally sees discounts, I’ve never seen it drop below $2,000, so if you’re looking, now is the time to buy.
Sony’s A7R V also received a similarly glowing Engadget review. With a 61-megapixel sensor, it shoots sharp and beautiful images at a very respectable speed for such a high-resolution model (10 fps). It has equally fast and reliable autofocus, the fastest viewfinder on the market, and in-body stabilization that’s significantly better than the A7R IV. Video has improved even further, with 8K and 10-bit options now available. Then again, there’s never been a better time to buy it, as Sony tells me it’s the lowest price it’s ever sold for.
