Sony announced the brand new Sony a7R IV today in New York City and we got to spend some quick hands-on time with it during the press launch event. Slated to be released in September, the A7RIV features a new 61MP sensor, the largest currently available in a Full Frame Interchangeable Lens Camera,...

Sony's 61MP bombshell should really shake things up...

World record resolution; Better handling than the Mark III; Eye-tracking AF; 10fps shooting

No 60/50p video

Yesterday, Sony announced its latest mirrorless camera, the A7R IV . Designed to offer the quality of a medium format camera while maintaining the comparatively light and convenient form factor of a full-frame (35mm) Alpha system, the device packs an impressive set of features into a compact...

In the past, combining billboard-friendly resolution with large sensors has produced still life cameras that were about as portable (and versatile) as a bowling ball.

Not everyone needs 61MP, but you'll still want the A7R IV for its speed, autofocus, and durability.

61MP full-frame sensor; 240MP pixel-shift mode; 10 fps continuous shooting; 4K video in full-width and crop modes; Real-Time autofocus

Benefits of 61MP may be limited; Sony menus remain problematic

The crop sensor 26mp works particularly well and comes in very useful.Most shots taken are perfect first time, a result that not many other cameras can...

Durable; Great Features; Great Picture Quality; The autofocus is first class; most shots perfect
