Pros & Cons
Pros
Autofocus is snappy with any lens. Full hdmi slot, dual sd card slots, etc. Eye detection is the most valuable aspect.
Sony's latest and greatest full-frame camera has everything you need to take your photography to the next level. It's a far better camera than i am a photographer, and i can't imagine that i will ever improve to the point that i'd want a higher-end mo... Read More
I was worried whether this was worth the extra $500 versus a7m3 but after typing it out, it seems like it has. The other thing i noticed is how this camera body is about twice as thick as the original a7. When posting images to social media i have not... Read More
The shutter button has great feel, which is something i never found to be true with canon. Sony has some great offerings, as do (unlike for my canon) third-party manufacturers like sigma and tamron. The tl;dr version of this review is that i'm impress... Read More
The alpha 7 iv has a 33-megapixel full-frame sensor. It also has a built-in wi-fi and bluetooth. It has ghz and 2. Ghz wifi support.
Cons
Sony a7iv has a 1. The camera is prone to overheating. The viewfinder screen burns easily. The body is not ergonomic.
Highlights
Quality
The quality of the body and grip feel fine; i am tending to miss the first gen's material choices as well but i think this will grow on me.
This is the quality picture you’d hope for in photos and even quick commercials.

I used to use a monopod with the a7 because no stabilization meant handshake was a very real issue.
Price
4 stars was not for the camera but amazon warehouse-sensor was dirty and cost $87 to professionally clean.
Shipping
But overall the seller is fast on shipping and the product is as it described.
Packaging/appearance
An excellent camera and a nice step up from the a7iii.
I know it's a bit silly, but like i said i was shooting on the a6500 so this is a huge upgrade for me!
That means my a9 is not working right, right out of the box.
The battery life on this camera runs laps on the a6500, i went from holding 6 batteries on my a6500 to just carrying two with ... Read More
Competitiveness
I'm a photography enthusiast coming mainly from a canon 5diii, but have a fujifilm xt-4 as well.
Upgrading from the sony a7iii 8bit color to 10bit 4:2:2 color has been incredible.
If you're coming from a a7ii or a7 the upgrade is quite large.
I started with canon 15 years ago and eventually moved up to a canon 5dmark4 then switched to the sony a7iii, and now the sony a7iv.

I originally bought the a7c and while that is a nice camera once you out on anything bigger than a compact lens the compactness of the camera is a moot point

I read and watched tons of reviews and just ended up going with the iv because it was cheaper and more of a hybrid option especially for what i do
