Do I need the newest model like the Sony a7 V or Canon R6 Mark III?
Reviewer consensus
Not necessarily. Reviewers note the newest bodies bring faster sensors, better autofocus and improved video, but several r/canon and r/SonyAlpha posts argue the jump from an a7 IV or R6 Mark II is marginal for pure stills shooters. The newest models carry premium prices and, at the time of writing, thinner review pools, so the consensus is strongest around the previous generation.
