Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Sony A7R V and Sony A7R IV side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony A7R V has external dimensions of 131 x 97 x 82 mm (5.25 x 3.87 x 3.25″) and weighs 723 g (1.59 lb / 25.50 oz) (including batteries). Sony A7R IV has external dimensions of 129 x 96 x 78 mm (5.08 x 3.78 x 3.07″) and weighs 665 g (1.47 lb / 23.46 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony A7R IV is 58g lighter than the Sony A7R V but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Sony A7R V and Sony A7R IV have the same Sony E lens mount and Full frame sized sensors, lenses will not be a differentiator on total size of the system.
Weather Sealing
Both the A7R V and the A7R IV have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.
