Love my Sony
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved my Sony. But after just past that year mark where the warranty no longer covers it, of course my shutter is going out already. I love my camera I’m just super upset that it hasn’t lasted as long as I thought it would before I had to put money into it and fix it.

Defective.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A little disappointed - Pre-ordered and waited 3 weeks for this. Came with a defect. The SD compartment won't open! It's stuck, I can't even ply it out. Now I have to waste my time exchanging it at the storefront and wait another week to be shipped.

Camera is a dust magnet. Stay away,
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera sensor is a dust magnet. Stay away from it. Without any lens change also got severe dusts on the camera sensor. The dust kept on returning even after cleaning the sensor multiple times using a proper cleaning kit. Stays good for few pictures and then the dust reappears. Amazing colors and photos otherwise. As per reddit looks like a common occurrence Sony A7 series. Returned it but best buy charges 15% restocking fee. So be sure if you do want to buy it.

Posted .Hello, Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. We are sorry to hear that. DO you put the cover on after you take out the lens? Leaving the sensor open will definitely collect dust. Hope that helps. IF you have any questions or concerns please reach out to us at Sony's General Consumer Support: 239-245-6360.

Worst camera ever used
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All says the Autofocus but... It called me miserable. Went out with wife in snow and used Auto mode.. every photo is out of focus.... It was hard to spend time to go out in snow in negative temp but turns out to be a worst pics ever. I could be more better if I use my Samsung s23 ultra. To total waste of money

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm a fan of the A7III and I thought with the A7IV was going to be a great upgrade but the one that I purchased was defective out of the Box. So i had to return it. I'm still waiting for this camera to be in stock so i can try it.

Sold my A7S3 and bought the A7IV
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As the title states I sold my beloved A7S3 because I found myself doing more photography than video. As great as the A7S3 is for video I needed something capable of higher resolution photos for print. After selling the A7S3 i had a bit of regret thinking it was a downgrade but the A7IV has surprised me in a lot of ways. Its hands-down the best hybrid camera on the market and the video it produces appear even sharper than the A7S3 due to the downsampling. The A7IV also has focus breathing compensation which the A7S3 and sonys flagship A1 surprisingly do not have. But dont go selling your A7S3 just yet, there are some downsides to the A7IV when it comes to video. Biggest issue for me is the crop factor when shooting 60fps. I mostly shoot everything in 4k 60fps in case i want to slow the video down for a cinematic effect and because of this i’ve had to compensate the crop by using wider lenses. As an example, shooting with a 24mm lens on 4k/60 is equivalent to a 36mm lens. The A7S3 doesnt have this crop so its easier to grab the proper lens without worrying about the crop calculation. In order to get a similar look as 24mm I would need to use a 16mm lens or shoot in 30fps and risk losing slow motion quality. I’ve been able to work around this issue however and i still do believe the benefits of the A7IV outweigh the negatives.

Best purchase all year!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely LOVE this camera!!! I did about a solid year of research on it before picking one up and I couldn't be happier! I went to a friends wedding a week after I got it and the photos that I got with it are breathtaking <3. I would recommend this camera to ANYONE who is wanting something to take photos or videos of people, nature, cars, or anything in general. The only thing I wish I would have looked into further was the lense. The zoom is pretty low so I ended up getting another one that goes up to 350mm and has auto focus (also had it at the wedding). Other than that, it was the best purchase I've made all year.
