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.

    Honestly, one of the best cameras in terms of photography on the market. Very fast auto focus, plenty of features and phenomenal results with each picture.

    Amazing image quality and autofocus capabilities. I had the A7r III before which was great but this has been a huge upgrade.

    Best professional mirrorless camera

    I'm coming from a Nikon d850, D3 and D500. I tried a Sony A7III and it was ok but this camera what made me switch from the Nikon system. The details are incredible. I take lots of wildlife photos as well as portraits. Pro: 1. High Megapixel allows a ton of work in the post especially cropping. This is useful for wildlife photos when you are limited by the lens. High pixels is useful for me because I do a lot of composited images. 2. Autofocus is better than a7III. It is substantially better than Z6. The accuracy is very reliable for most situations. The only time it failed was on the fastest of my four dogs. It works for most wildlife situations. For sports, I would still recommend the A9. 3. The body is a huge step up from previous generations. 4. EVF is incredible at 5.76m resolution. It also allows me to see the exposure live. 5. Compact, light, powerful and incredibly sharp. 6. Low Cost for this quality and performance is insane. This competes with the medium format hybrids from Fujifilm and Hasselblad. Cons: 1. low light focus still isn't perfect. By this, I mean I had a very fast-moving dog running around in a cloudy evening. Invest in a good Speedlite or strobe. The ISO does pretty well for most situations. 2. You better have a fast computer. These are very large files if you shoot raw. I purchased a diskless raid array 3. I'm still not 100% on Sony colors. It appears underexposed and less on the magenta and yellow. I will say this is not oversaturated like the A7III. 4. The body still feels cheap next to the NIKON Z7. It almost feels hollow but light. I realize it is still an improvement on a7iii. LCD- Resolution of 1.4M doesn't cut it in 2020. It also lacks pinch zoom and touchable lcd. This is a very critical review and in spite of all of it, it is still the best all-around professional mirrorless camera on the market.

    A very high-quality piece of equipment. 61 megapixel Imager allows digital enlargements many times over. At $500 off the list price, it was definitely a “Best Buy”. Ordered online and shipping was very quick.

    Was a little hesitant to purchase with the a7r V coming out soon, but a sale prompted me to make the purchase before taking a trip out to Seattle. 61 MP is a lot and more than the average person is going to need in relation to prints/posting their work. The ability to crop and utilize APS-C mode was the driving factor for me to purchase. I do a lot of landscape photography so this allows me to keep my bag a bit lighter on longer hikes while still maintaining a good range in focal distances with the lenses I do bring along. Check out @peachhikes on instagram to see some shots! Would love to upload them here but the site is not compressing them small enough to upload :(

    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.

    This is a 1 year after review. Bought this camera last year and have been using it a lot since and let me tell you it’s an amazing camera it holds up well and the high pixels combined with the GM lens gives super sharp and nice pictures. 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

    Best. Camera. Ever. It's hard to take a bad photo with this camera.... sharp clear clean and crisply focused photos even in low light. I got a 24-105 G and also a 35mm G-master lens for it, perfect for what I need it for. Still trying to decide which telephoto lens to get for it; 100-400 or 200-600.... probably going to settle for the 200-600.

    I have been a loyal Canon person for many years and thousands of dollars in lenses and equipment, after my son purchased this camera and was able to use it and seeing the difference I was absolutely sold! I quickly went out and purchased it, I have been extremely happy after purchasing this Camera!

    Bought this camera to get into mirrorless cameras and switched from a Nikon SLR. This camera takes a bit getting used to from my Nikon habits, but super capable and easy to use once familiar with the controls. This is heavier than I originally expected it to be, but not in a bad way. A bit pricey, but no so much more when compared with comparable models from competitors.

    Great camera, huge upgrade from my A6000 and A7R2. Battery life is good, about 3/4 of a day depending on how many photos i take. It works well for portraits, wildlife, landscapes. I love the extra crop i can do with the 61Mp if i cant quite get close enough for wildlife. The dinamic range is great if i miss my exposure i can usually save it in post.

    Thats a lot of megapixels, i own a slower computer so i k icked down the resolution size to S;small: to help speed up editing, uploading,and exporting time. This also saves storage size on my sd cards, went from few hundred photos to over 3,500+ photos i can possibly take on one 256gb sd card.

    This is my first photography camera. Of course as a beginner I still have to learn some of the features but in time I have been capable of making some stellar shots and taking advantage of all it offers! I don’t see this camera depreciating for a while. It’s awesome!
