Customers are saying

Customers find value in the Alpha 7 IV camera quality, ease of use, and overall performance. The auto focus, resolution, price, and included features are also well-received. However, some customers have noted that the camera can be prone to overheating and is a bit heavy for daily use.

    One of my favorite cameras. Huge upgrade from the 3 series as far as auto focus precision goes. Menu update is great too.

    Excellent camera! It’s the perfect hybrid camera for photography and videography. The colors are beautiful without any editing and I really love the 10 bit feature.

    I recently traded in my Sony a7riii for the a7iv due to the faster autofocus. The image quality and autofocus that comes out of this camera is superb!

    I have had this camera for 2 weeks and have taken the camera for over 12 different photoshoot. Paired the a7iv with Batis 40mm and a Batis 85mm lens and the results are just amazing. Raw files have so much detail can be edited easily using LightRoom. Does this camera focus and tracks eye fast… absolutely. Take your creativity to next level.

    Came from a A7ii and man the A7IV is a beast of a camera. Pair this with a 35mm, 85mm, or the 24-70mm 2.8 and you got yourself a powerful rig

    A great camera for Photo and Video work. The only issue is the 4k 60fps 1.5x crop can be annoying when using a wide lens. If you like to shoot really wide and want 4k60, you're gonna need a lens anywhere from 11mm - 16mm to get a wide shot. Other than that it's a great camera!
