Sony Alpha A7 Mark IV Mirrorless Camera Body With Kit Box - Brand New review
The A7 IV may be classified as the entry-level model in Sony’s full-frame lineup, but like its predecessors, will more than satisfy the majority of photographers, videographers and hybrid shooters.
Hands on: Sony A7 IV review
It can no longer be classed as an 'entry-level' full-frame camera, but the Sony A7 IV is a truly modern hybrid that largely justifies its price tag. The new 33MP sensor looks a solid performer for both stills and video, and the A7 IV benefits from Sony's class-leading autofocus skills. It's a shame the 4K/60p video mode is only available with a large crop, but otherwise the A7 IV is shaping up to be a rock-solid all-rounder for most hybrid shooters. It might be the only camera you ever need.- Impressive new 33MP sensor
- Class-leading autofocus
- Vari-angle screen
- Price hike from A7 III
- 4K/60p video is heavily cropped
Sony Alpha 7 IV Review
- Fast and accurate autofocus
- Good handling and build quality
- Very capable with both stills and video
- Some video modes cropped
- Fairly heavy build
- Fast SD or CFexpress cards required for some modes
Sony Alpha A7 Mark IV Mirrorless Camera Body With Kit Box - Brand New review
Equally suited for stills or video, with a great performance and handling extremely well, the Sony A7 IV has a lot going for it. Yes, it's the most expensive of its peers, by which are meant the full-frame options of up to 33MP, but it is a hybrid camera that does tackle both stills and video in the...- Excellent stills image quality, Smooth high-quality movie shooting, Bionz XR Processor, Dust and moisture resistance, 5 Axis SteadyShot, Human, animal or bird Eye/Face AF tracking, Low noise, 10fps shooting, Ergonomic control layout, High-quality manufacture
- Very complex menus that are not always intuitive, Full manual online only
Sony Alpha A7 Mark IV Mirrorless Camera Body With Kit Box - Brand New review
The Sony A7 IV makes a solid upgrade on the A7 III. In fact, it’s one of those rare cameras that makes a significant enough jump to warrant upgrading from one generation to the next. All of our requests for the A7 IV have been granted apart from 4K 60p incurring a crop.- Good combination of speed and resolution, Vari-angle touchscreen, Excellent AF system
- CFexpress Type A card required to get the full feature range, Video options could be clearer, Super 35 crop for 4K video at 60p
Sony Alpha 7 IV (ILCE7M4B)
The Sony α7 IV’s move up to the BIONZ XR processor is a worthwhile advance, especially for photographers who shoot video. Also significant are the improvements to viewfinder resolution and the shift from a tilting monitor screen to one that is fully articulated.
Sony A7 IV Review: The Best All-Around Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera
The company’s latest full-frame is one of the best all-around mirrorless cameras available today.- New 33-megapixel sensor is sharp. The upgraded autofocus system isn't just faster, it's easier to use. More video codec options. 7K oversampled for 4K 30 fps. Large buffer capacity.
- Expensive.
