Once again Sony proves to be the true leader of the hybrid/mirrorless cameras evolution race! This camera is an affordable alternative to A7s3, which allows good quality photos with its 33MP sensor as well as equivalent to its elder brothers’ (A7R4, A7s3, FX3) video capabilities (cuz let’s face it no one uses these cameras for external-raw on serious projects). At that price, this camera is a real tool that actually gets the job done and gets you the paycheck, everything else is for youtube tech reviewers, hobbyists and collectors.
Many criticize sony for saving on some features such as custom luts, heavy codecs, and monitoring capabilities, I think the situation here is similar to what happens in the world of mobile phones – iPhone just works despite all of its limitations, and Android manufacturers just throw more features and hardware to make a good impression.
As for this particular camera, it’s like a sequel to Avatar… after A73 everyone expected it to be better in every regard, and that’s exactly what Sony did. Its 10bit, its ALL-INTRA, its got h265 codec, its got the best eye tracking AF in the industry, its got slog3 and scinetone. There’s just not much room to improve to impress customers anymore!
I see thermals on this camera are often criticized here. I tell you this; the only occasion where I had it overheating was a 6-hour straight interview, which we shot in one piece in 4K 10bit 422. It overheated 2 times that day. 6 hours! For run-and-gun type of shoots, it never overheats.
Also a lot of negative comments from people who clearly have no idea how to use a professional camera. They complain about “sensor issues” and “bending” while they shoot with fluorescent light at 30fps and their shutter at 1/250, they complain about overheating without even checking the “High temperature” menu, they argue that a 33PM sensor should allow 60fps from the full size of the sensor…
To all buyers I’d suggest taking it for what it is – $2500 FF camera, that does 33MP photos and 10 bit FF video in codecs comparable to prores all this with the industry’s leading autofocus capabilities.
Amazing camera …as expected! Had to wait for my copy for 2 months after the preorder upon release though.

I purchased this camera specifically for video shooting and on the paper it sounds as an excellent hybrid full frame camera, despite 1.5 crop for 4k60fps, which Im not happy about, but I dont shoot in 4k that much.
Camera looks and feels great, size, menus, buttons, all feel comfy.
However, it overheated during my initial setup straight of the box! I have not even started filming and testing it… Now, I’m thinking of sending it back because I can’t imaging it overheating this easily on a set somewhere when you need it the most.

After a decade or more with my gen 1 A7 I decided to upgrade to the A7IV. If you’re coming from a A7II or A7 the upgrade is quite large. The autofocus speed is the biggest thing I noticed immediately. Even older lenses like my 55mm Zeiss is very fast on this camera.
The other thing I noticed is how this camera body is about twice as thick as the original A7. If you liked how small the A7 was well… expect the A7IV to be more of the thickness of most other cameras. The thickness from what I understand is the sensor stabilization which by the way the original A7 didn’t have. I used to use a monopod with the A7 because no stabilization meant handshake was a very real issue. With the A7IV I can get very sharp images in hand without worry.
One other thing. This camera’s ISO has some dual sensor business going on. It’s both a good and bad thing. It’s good because if you shoot at 100ISO or 400ISO your images will look almost identical on noise. The bad is if you shoot at 125, 160, 200, 250 or 320. Someone that doesn’t know this may get less sharp images when you need to increase ISO over 100. Do yourself a favor and just shoot at 100 and 400 for most instances then over 400 as usual.
I noticed reviewers complaining about the camera menu, but if your coming from another A7 you’ll understand the menu quite easily.
All other specs were about what I expected. The massive increase in AF points, better video recording, full HDMI slot, dual SD card slots, etc. Also no wall charger for battery… really Sony? Don’t be Apple please.

This is a very versatile system, it’s really quick with lots of options, it works really well with the Imaging Edge app, overall this is a great tool to have for any hybrid shooter out here.

The a7iII is also a good choice if you need to lower the price tag. So far the a7iv has done every thing the reviewers said it would do. My personal advice is, ignore all those guys who tell you to do this first. Get to know your camera and then figure out what settings work best for you. Sony, Cannon, Nikon, Fuji, etc all make good cameras. Unless there’s really a compelling reason to switch systems, stick with the one you know.. Spend you money on good glass, rather than the latest camera. My old Sony A99 has about taken one too many bounces. It took me a long time to decide it was time to move to mirrorless. I’ve alway thought mirrowlless for digital cameras was the way to go. I stuck with old Sony SLT cameras because I could sue my Minolta lenses on them. Now I’m slowly getting a new lens collection.

I have a Sony A7C and wanted to upgrade to Sony A7iv.
There are lots of benefits from A7C to A7iv however, if you are doing mostly video;
please stay far away. Sony A7iv gets very warm and frequently turns off due to overheating.
Another problem is that I’ve ordered a product from Amazon Warehouse deals and took a video unboxing it.
I found couple dust and ?scratch that I was not able to remove with my blower.
Amazon CS will not let me return it for free. ??? Buyers beware.

Upgraded from Sony A73 and was very happy I did

Overall I like this camera body a lot, but I feel like it wasn’t as huge a jump from a7iii as that camera was up from a7ii. It is definitely worth it if you are eyeing the a7iii but don’t mind spending a bit more for nice features.
Good:
Everything that’s great about the a7iii but now with:
– 10-bit video
– HEVC
– 4k60
– +9MP
– ridiculously good AF, like stupidly good
– higher available bitrates when using v90 cards.
– Full size HDMI port
– Streaming/direct usb stream support to make it the most epic webcam ever
– improved ibis with crop based stabilization on top of mechanical sensor shift
Bad:
– I don’t like how they made the body bigger. It feels quite big compared to a7iii.
– the 4k60 crop sucks, as everyone else has stated. It’s fine for tight shots but if you need to do something wide you will need a lens like 12-24mm
– overheats in continuous 4K recording after about an hour at room temp. Yes, I set it to high temp threshold. It does still overheat just takes longer. Had to rig up a fan system for continuous longer recording (see pic). From my extensive testing, this solves the problem, and allows for recording for hours and hours even at 4k60, but I had to come up with it myself using parts from Amazon and SmallRig. If you don’t want to do all this you may have to stick to 1080p if you’re recording something hours long.
– My rear top dial (the one I have assigned to iris, next to the EV Comp dial) started malfunctioning about 4 months in. Currently without the body as Sony is taking care of that under warranty. Not thrilled with that but hopefully the repair will last.

Auto Focus is a step up from the a7iii and it feels much more ergonomic as well. It’s easy to use for beginners as it has a new menu set up too. Definitely recommend and is my favorite go to camera videos so great as well as it has 10bit color.
Jason S –
Not really a video person, but it’s a great camera. I’ll have it a long time.
Been using Sony forever and it’s better than most. Auto focus is amazing. Actually all of the auto settings are fantastic.
I’m not a professional. But I find beauty in a lot of life. And don’t like to pay to have someone shoot things for me.
