If you're looking for top-of-the-line underwater photos and videos but don't want to lug around an IMAX camera, it's hard to go wrong with the ultra high resolution Sony a7R VI. Incredible detail, great low light performance, next-generation autofocus and 8.5 stops of in-body image stabilization (IBIS) make this camera a joy to shoot.
Ikelite's head of Video Production, Logan Wood, took the a7R VI for 3 weeks in Yap, Micronesia for the annual MantaFest event at Manta Ray Bay Resort, and it was the right choice. Check out how it fared in all situations from macro to wide angle and blackwater.
