Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

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.

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.


Unless there's really a compelling reason to switch systems, stick with the one you know.


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

    The a7iv has better ergonomics and better overall specs

    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
