The camera that’s the talk of the town right now is the Sony A7 V. It remains the best-selling camera since its December 2025 release, and it has dethroned Nikon to sit in the top spot of my best camera guide.
And with good reason – the mid-range full-frame camera features a 33MP partially-stacked sensor, incredible dynamic range, 30fps burst shooting, powerful autofocus and decent handling. It’s a true hybrid mirrorless camera.
Mind you, Sony lenses can be pretty pricey and there are quite literally hundreds of affordable third-party alternatives that I’d recommend, especially from Sigma and Viltrox. If you’ve got the cash for just one lens, the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II can cover a range of scenarios. Elsewhere, Viltrox’s AF 85mm F1.4 Pro is a superb portrait lens that costs a third of the price of Sony’s – it’s incredible value, as are most of the Chinese lens maker’s optics.
From hundreds of options, I’ve whittled down the list to just nine lenses which cover a range of needs and budgets. If you still can’t find the perfect lens in my collection, and would like further recommendations, please comment below with your question. And enjoy your Sony A7 V – it’s one hell of a camera!
