Customers are saying

Customers appreciate the Alpha 7R IV's excellent image and video quality, high resolution, and ease of use. Many also praise the improved autofocus and grip compared to previous models. While some find the camera pricey and the menu system challenging, the overwhelmingly positive feedback centers on its superior image capabilities. The large file sizes associated with high-resolution images are also a noted drawback for some users.

    I purchased this camera to take better family pictures. Great ISO sensitivity, image stabilization, Sony mobile app link with the camera, and overall image quality. Yes, the price is high, but totally worth it in my opinion. Attached are pictures of the moon taken with the Sony a7Riv paired with the Sony SEL200600G lens. I also attached pictures of the Milky Way taken with the Sony a7Riv paired with the Sigma 14-24mm F/2.8. Both pictures (moon and Milky Way) were taken from my house. I stepped outside my house and I took the pictures. This camera is GREAT!!! Highly recommended.

    The Sony Alpha 7R IV is a true game-changer for professionals and serious enthusiasts. Its 61 MP full-frame sensor captures jaw-dropping detail and stunning dynamic range, while the fast and accurate autofocus with Eye AF makes every shot sharp and reliable. Add 10 fps shooting, 5-axis image stabilization, and 4K video, and you get a powerhouse that handles both photos and video with ease. The build feels solid with improved grip and weather-sealing. File sizes are large, but that’s the price of world-class resolution. Worth every penny!

    Best Full Frame camera I have used. With adapters for various lenses, most of your old 35mm lenses from various brands can be used. I keep being amazed by the resolution. Hardest part for me was relearning some of the buttons from my old nikon. But there a lot of programmable buttons.

    This camera is truly spectacular. I've recently upgraded from a Canon T3 Rebel (after 12 years of use) and I am beyond amazed with what this Sony camera is capable of. I chose the A7RIV instead of the A7RV (which includes an AI AF processor) largely because I preferred having more autonomy over my images/creativity.

    Outstanding camera.. when paired with a quality lens, it’s hard to find any fault I. The resolution and clarity of the camera. Video could be improved but if you are buying the R version of this camera, you’re looking for the resolution over video format.

    If you like to focus in on the small details in life (near and far) this camera is awesome! I love my 7R III but this camera takes it to another level. Some say that high pixel count isn't that important, and in many cases I would agree. A good camera and the best glass you can afford are most important, but when you want high detail on something you can't get close to, the more pixels the better in my book. When cropping photos in post the detail remains incredible. Sony also increased the dot count in both the view finder and the monitor on the 4A and that made a noticeable improvement primarily in the monitor, My favorite lens is the Sony 100-400 GM Telephoto and I'm really enjoying the results using it with the 7RM4A. Also, a good tripod or monopod is an important tool with the long glass. For nature and wildlife in detail the 7RM4A wins!

    This camera is like operating a “Smart HDTV. It has everything! I believe in paying for peace of mind. So far this camera has done everything I’ve wanted it to do, all I had to do was buy the lenses, filters, and read the manual. It’s like buying an elite car. Don’t buy it if you’re not going to take the time to read and understand it’s capabilities - and there are many.

    A very great high quality camera for photography (and videography work). Shoots in 4K (I believe only up to 30fps) but do be careful of having it on for to long or in hot temperatures because it will overheat.

    Its a great camera once you get a hang of it, but if you are new to SONY cameras you will soon find out it takes much adjusting coming from brands that are more user friendly like Canon, Nikon, Leica or Fuji. In other words if you are already a SONY user yo can update the score to five stars. Im happy with it so far, but I still have a long way to be confortable with it and Im a professional with 30 years experience: Thats why my for stars could be three.

    Sony Alpha 7R IV: A Resolution Powerhouse

    |

    Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Sony Alpha 7R IV is one of the most impressive cameras I’ve used, especially when it comes to detail and dynamic range. Its 61-megapixel sensor delivers incredibly sharp images, making it a great choice for landscape, portrait, and commercial photography. Colors are rich, autofocus is fast and accurate, and the camera handles low light extremely well. The body feels solid and comfortable to hold, and the improved grip makes long shooting sessions easier. I also appreciate the high-resolution electronic viewfinder, which gives a clear and accurate preview of the final image. Battery life is good for a high-resolution mirrorless camera, though you may still want a spare for long outings. The file sizes are large, so a fast SD card and plenty of storage space are a must. It’s also on the pricier side, but the performance justifies it if you need professional-level results. Overall, the A7R IV is a powerful and reliable camera that stands out for photographers who demand the highest image quality. I highly recommend it for professionals or advanced hobbyists who want exceptional detail and outstanding performance.

    Pros: * Intelligent, fast and precise auto focus * 61mp resolution allows extensive cropping and manipulation * Very granular customization options * Great availability of native and 3rd party lenses (finally) Cons: * Battery life is atrocious, even realizing the performance you're getting out of it. But 670 CIPA vs 1300 on Canon 90D is serious downgrade. * Battery charger comes with a cable instead of built-in plug, one more thing to carry around and possibly lose. * Viewfinder is dark (obviously, because it's electronic) while camera is waking up from sleep.

The built of this camera is top quality, the sensor is fast and has a ton of features. It’s a great camera over all
