Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

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. I wish i did have 120 fps for video but 60 fps will ... Read More

I was worried whether this was worth the extra $500 versus a7m3 but after typing it out, it seems like it was. Upgraded from the a7iii, this camera does what it does and more. It wasn't as huge a jump from a7iii as that camera was up from a 7ii.

The shape is classic and timeless. It has durability and uniqueness to it. It’s actually usable now.

New mode dial is very useful. An amazing amount of customization. My two quibbles with sony is (as mentioned before) the handling and the menu system/touch interface.

Cons

The camera is sold as a used item and the manuals might be missing. In the beginning, notice some overheating from time to time and just turn it off to cool down. The downsampling most likely is the cause for this. Hope they make a firmware upgrade th... Read More

Highlights

Quality

The camera has a great grip, long battery life, lots of buttons and customization, dual card slots and much much more.

Solid thumbs up, and can't wait to use this camera for 7+ years as i did with the first-gen.

- my rear top dial (the one i have assigned to iris, next to the ev comp dial) started malfunctioning about 4 months in.

This means you can capture smooth, shake-free video even when you're shooting handheld.

Price

Sensational price for a camera that does so much!

4 stars was not for the camera but amazon warehouse-sensor was dirty and cost $87 to professionally clean.

To each their own, but it felt like for $500 difference, that was worth it for me in the long run.

They are pricey but they are also very, very good lenses.

Shipping

Came on time and works great !

After two intense weeks of reading and watching many camera reviews during the summer of 2022 the sony a7iv is where i landed.

But overall the seller is fast on shipping and the product is as it described.

Packaging/appearance

Wish they would have packed it a bit better.

Competitiveness

Ergonomically the camera build is pretty similar to the sony a7 line up, i personally was using an a6500 so this was a big diff... Read More

So far the camera is doing well, picture quality is insane compared to the a7iii.

I’ve owned the a7riv and it’s too many megapixels and the a7iii is too old.

I chose this camera above all the other sony models and above all other brands because it seems to me, after reading many revie... Read More
