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.

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.

I was torn between getting a canon or Sony camera body, but I am so happy I went with Sony. This camera body is easy to hold (my hands are very small) and fits perfectly for my everyday walk around town bags.

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

Best camera to use for both video and pictures. The quality of the video is so cinematic. If you’re going for videography, this is an easy buy. Also for quality photos, this is easily top 3.

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.

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!

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!

I recently upgraded from the sony zv-e10 to the A7IV and it has been a massive step up. This camera is very high level for the price. The camera has more than enough megapixels to crop photos and still keep them very high quality.

This camera is amazing. Needed an upgrade from my a6700 and this one is it. The image sensor and autofocus make getting clear images easier than ever and the customizable buttons allow me to configure the camera to my liking and never miss a shot. I brought this on my trip to the UK and it really was a game changer.

Honestly, one of the best investments I’ve made. Was skeptical of the pricing at first but man never had something more worth it. The significant difference between this and cheaper camera is great as-well as the difference between it and a phone camera.
