Best Camera i’ve owned so far!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was a Canon owner for years,my last DSLR was the Canon 5D Mark IV,it was my favorite camera before switching to mirrorless.It was a tough decision on letting go of my MDIV,but since i got my Sony A7 IV,it was a worth every penny upgrade.First mirrorless and i was impressed,the 700+ AF points vs 69 on my Canon was my selling point,the image quality was stunning,it’s lightweight body is also a big decision,easy to carry on overseas trips.I only buy Sony tv’s but this is the first time i bought a Sony camera and i surely no regret.It’s a keeper! I’m just a hobbyist photographer,mostly family photos,wildlife and landscapes.Thank you Sony!

Sony a7 upgrade
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgrading from the original Sony a7 to the a7 IV feels transformative. The vastly improved menu system is faster, clearer, and customizable, eliminating the frustration of the old layout while making daily shooting far more efficient and intuitive.

I would recommend this to a friend Next Level
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.An update to my A7III in every way! This is the best hybrid camera Sony has put out, and a good entry point for pros and serious enthusiasts. The upgrade to 33 megapixels gives me room to do more with my images, and a lot of the the video features from the A7sIII/fx3 (which I also own) have made their way to this body too. Speaking of the body, this camera is almost identical to the A7SIII and that is a marked improvement over the A7III.

Great Camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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. :)

Great Upgrade at a great price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Spectacular Camera
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
