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.

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.

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.

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

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!

I’ve been using this camera for about a month now, and I’ve encountered a couple of issues. The most significant one is that the viewfinder doesn’t turn on. I found a workaround by closing the screen and moving the lenses, which seems to resolve the problem. Another issue is that the camera turns off when I’m outside. I’m not sure if it’s due to overheating, but I doubt it since I don’t use the camera for more than 10 minutes at a time. However, these issues don’t usually occur, but I’m concerned that they might happen during a work shoot. Despite these problems, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using this camera.
I understand why this camera is highly recommended. It takes great pictures and video, and everything is straightforward. If you’re unsure whether you prefer video or photography, this camera offers a great all-around solution.

Sony has really bat it out of the park with this one! They improved on every single aspect of the a7III and this even rivals what the a7sIII is capable of. I chose the a7IV over the a7sIII because of it's versatility. It has a good mid-range sensor with a higher pixel count than the a7sIII, which makes it good for taking photos. It also has all the great cinema-grade features capable of creating cinematic content and indie films. On top of that, the addition of the new articulating screen and the ability to connect to a computer without a capture card really helps make this a one-man video producer's dream come true!

Love the camera. Definitely a phenomenal upgrade from the sony a7iii. Better and quicker autofocus, love the screen being able to swivel which makes a huge difference when holding the camera in different angles.
