Sony A7 IV

The Sony A7 IV is a beast! I’ve used it for weddings, sports, and portraits, and the image quality is stunning. The 4K 60fps, 10-bit 4:2:2 video gives me plenty of flexibility in post. Autofocus is super fast and reliable. It’s worth every penny—highly recommended for professionals and serious creators!

I am really just getting started with photography. I had purchased a Sony ZV-E10 and liked it. I added a Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 lens so i could start shooting my son’s hockey and lacrosse. I was not happy with the photos I was getting. In talking to friends they told me that the ZV-E10 was limiting me. So as the next lacrosse season heated up this year I purchased this A7 IV. After shooting a number or tournaments now with it I can say with confidence that it made an unbelievable difference. Even the small things like having a viewfinder made it possible to shoot outside in sunlight. The ZV-E10 only has the monitor which was washed out in direct sunlight making it almost impossible to frame a shot. Also, the speed of being able to take a burst of shots with the A7 IV has allowed me to catch some awesome frozen moments in time. I received countless compliments from fellow parents for the photos I shared. As hockey season starts up I am looking forward to see what this thing can do.

I do landscape photography and lately I have been printing 24x36 pictures for a company, and , the quality and sharpness of the this camera is amazing. I also do video once in a while, and I love how easy is to use this camera. It is one of the best cameras on the market.

This camera tops all that we've had, my partner came from a mirrorless Canon and I came from a Nikon DSLR, this has us not looking back. Yes- we both got the same camera as this is so multifunctional it serves all of our needs. Pair it with various G to GM lenses, this camera tops at the price point.

Excellent camera if you are doing portraits but for wildlife it does not have enough frames per second. Overall, I would say it’s valuable for the right person.

HUGE improvement from the A7iii. No noise or focus issues whatsoever. Easy to use, and I love that I can still use SD cards in both slots and that I’m not forced to use a CF card lol. Definitely worth the extra $500-$600 from the A7iii. Highly recommend.
Hello HollyA, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're happy to hear you are enjoying the camera and are happy with your upgrade. The convenience of the two SD card slot is a great feature.

If you coming from the A7iii, I think it is an excellent upgrade. The auto focus itself is worth it. Wether if you are shooting video or stills, it just grab on the subject without fail even if you are shooting at f1.2. If you are upgrading from the a6000's it's a no brainer.
Hello Wonton206, Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. Thank you for your review on the Sony a7 IV, we truly appreciate your feedback!

I really like this camera and have never regretted buying it, even as a beginner. The Best Buy sales associate helped me choose this over the Sony Alpha 7C II, and I’m truly grateful for that recommendation.

Exactly what I was looking for in a hybrid camera with the features of much higher priced models. Have been using it for everything from Astrophotography to portrait work and it's been a pretty painless experience.

This camera knocks it out the park, with built in Focus Bracketing. It can take a 1000 photos focusing on all the areas of the object, which you can easily focus stack.
I would recommend this to a friend

Upgraded from a7iii, the jump to 30 MP was nice. Video footage looks like a cinema camera when shot in s-log3. Truly no better hybrid camera out there right now, even the Sony A1. Check me out on Instagram @orozco.media!

Upgrading from an A7III. Using it for real estate photography. Love the upgraded menu system and resolution. Photos are sharper and love having more megapixels, which helps with cropping. Quieter shutter, larger viewfinder. The flip out screen is awesome and comes in handy when shooting vertical. My only cons are battery life. Definitely took a hit in that department. Other than that the camera is perfect and I plan to put it to work for years to come

I’ve just recently purchased this item and can’t wait to use it more often. So far I am in love with my purchase! I love how it is mirrorless and allows me to utilize other lenses. The auto focus is superb too!
