    Worst mistake ever. Loves to eat SD cards, therefore disabling camera. 3rd time in less than 2 years it will have to be repaired.

    This rating is for seller. I bought it online and arrived in less then four hours. It was an open box item. I took it to bestbuy to return they charged me 15% restocking fees. There was nothing mention on restocking fees at the time of purchase. I will not and never buy online from bestbuy.

    Great hybrid camera! (Better than a Canon)

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Let me just start by saying I’ve done loads of research and the Sony a7iv ranks top of the list for hybrid shooters. This camera is very diverse offering some of the highest quality raw photos you can get as well as 4k 30fps oversampled from 7k! You heard that right! This currently will beat any hybrid camera from the other manufacturers such as canon and fun fact, Sony was the first to introduce the full frame mirrorless camera. At the price point you should pick yourself up one today.

    Amazing

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    As a 20 year Canon user, I can honestly say that this camera is amazing. It was a very difficult decision to jump ship over to Sony, but I doubt I will ever look back. I was comparing this camera to the 5D mkIV for an upgrade to an old Canon and chose this over the Canon. With its eye AF, 4k video options and silent shooting, I felt this camera would serve my needs better than the Canon, even when the Canon cost roughly twice what this camera did. With a metabones adapter for my Canon glass, I can even use my Canon primes! The picture quality is amazing, and construction feels solid. So far I have no complaints. I highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for an upgrade.

    Fantastic camera, and considering it's price point, it's amazing what they have packed into it. The specs and performance outshine a lot of dslrs and mirrorless models on the market today that cost a lot more. In my opinion, Sony is leading the charge towards the future. I don't see how one could possibly be disappointed with this.

    I am just in photography as a hobby and still consider myself a beginner/basic user. I have been waiting on Nikon to come out with their mirrorless and they were just taking too long. Also, with what Sony is offering for under $2000 I couldn't pass it up. So I jumped the Nikon ship and couldn't be happier. I don't think you find a better camera for under $2000, this thing is amazing. The autofocus is unbelievable and I love the EVF.
