    Great camera. Autofocus is fast and really works to produce tack sharp photos with the eye perfectly in focus. The photos this thing takes are amazing.

    Great Upgrade at a great price

    Great upgrade from the already great A7 III. I've had the A7 III for a few years now and was looking to upgrade. The A7 series of camera's has been good but the A7 III made them a great buy at that price point. The IV continues this with offering amazing features found in much more expensive cameras while keeping cost at a reasonable point. If you are a studio photographer go for the R, if you shoot video go for the S, if sports are your thing or you want the best of the best, you can go with the A9 II or A1. But if you need a great all around performer that may not be the absolute best at anything but very good at everything, this is the one to get.

    Love this camera. Very high quality with the usual Sony attention to detail. If you are new to digital photography, it can be a bit overwhelming with all the available settings, but if you have the time to learn this camera you won’t be disappointed. For an excellent web site with a great amount of information about this camera and the lenses and accessories you can get for it, watch the You Tube videos but Sony Ambassador Mark Galer. You can visit his web site as well for manuals and training.

    Replacing an A7 III with the A7 IV has been a great experience. The EFCS and full-electronic shutters have completely enhanced wildlife and high-shutterspeed photos (hummingbirds, my gosh, just pop): using them effectively has become a new job for me, but I relish it. The mechanical shutter is very similar to the II, so all that muscle-memory is still valid. Video is greatly enhanced and the new viewfinder with touch-based AF tracking is really splendid. Couldn't be happier. Well, more megapixels will always make me happier, but still. :)

    This is the absolute best bang for buck camera on the market. Amazing images (33MP) and 4K video in high dynamic range format. It’s an amazing hybrid camera with stunning photography and video features. I’d say almost the perfect camera.

    I really like this camera. Great pictures and video quality. I decided to use this camera on my trip and leave my a7S III at home. The dual SD card is nice feature to have. My favorite feature is being able to access the camera through the app even with the camera being off. Fits in my hands pretty well and the full touch screen is a decent upgrade to previous Sony cameras (I was previously using an a6100). The main issue I have with this camera is overheating. After 5-10 minutes (could be less) of recording, I get an internal temperature too high and it shuts down. I proceeded to upgraded the firmware and same problem occurs. I try to take smaller interval videos, but that only helps a little. Missing on few moments is kind of disappointing especially when you’re in a once in a lifetime experience. This is making me wish I brought my a7S III instead. I would still recommend this camera depending on how much you need to rely on recording videos.

    Worth every penny and then some! Any of the "downsides" you hear or read on the internet are minor in comparison to the quality this camera can produce. After having my a7iii for a few years I was worried that I would be disappointed. After receiving my a7iv I have not missed the a7iii one bit! In my opinion useless you need a full "professional" setup the a7iv is more than capable!

    My first Sony camera... still have it. Use my A7RV for most everything but this A7IV is a little better at a few things. My shutter broke and Sony fixed it under warranty within a week.

    Having previously used Nikon cameras, I recently switched to the Sony Alpha 7 IV and was very impressed. This mirrorless camera offers outstanding image quality, fast autofocus, and a wealth of features suitable for both photography and videography.The only downside is the battery life, which could be longer.
