So far, I can say that this camera is beyond great.

One of the best purchases i’ve ever made
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is a beast! Bought with the kit lens (28-70mm) and was very impressed how well this thing shot straight out of the box on auto settings. I’ve since gone lens crazy and have found more ways to push this camera whether it be landscaping, astro, portrait photography or streaming/vlogging. I highly recommend this camera for the beginner up to pro photographer/videographer.

10/10
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good quality camera! Had it for a year and I haven’t really had a problem. I would say it does over heat a little too fast when you are recording but other than that I love my camera

Thank you for sharing your experience with the ILCE7M4 camera. We are glad to hear that you loved the camera. It's also great to hear that you haven't had any problems with it. To extend the time before the camera displays the overheating icon and shutdown, we suggest to avoid shooting under direct sunlight and as much as possible do not record with the camera handheld. We also suggest to use a faster memory card. For any questions or concerns, you can reach us at 239-245-6360. Thank you for choosing Sony.

Love it!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best camera I have ever owned. Excellent auto focus. Brilliant EVF and LCD screen. Works well in low light situations. I shoot mostly still rather than video. The battery will last through a day, but would carry an extra.

Not great for video
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't underestimate the criticism this camera gets on overheating, even in very moderate conditions video in 4K is tough on this camera. Rolling shutter is also very noticeable.

The Sony Alpha I've Been Waiting For
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The new menu system in the Sony A7IV makes this camera so much easier to use than the A7III. The tap to focus option with live tracking of human/bird/animal is very fast and accurate and has given us some really sharp photos on moving subjects. The hand feel is large for my hands especially with a larger lens but my husband loves it. I am happy with the buttons to switch between photo and video and maintain separate presets, much more friendly than other setups.
