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.

What more can I say it does everything I need and then some. Do yourself a favor and make sure you look up tutorials on the menus and setup!

Use this for nature shots. A little technical but there are good directions on line of how to use it.

For a used camera this is a very good quality camera, It was shipped very quickly and safely.

Finally upgraded my old Sony a7ii to this a7iv. The quality and upgraded auto focus really sold it for me. It feels solid and the touch screen is awesome!
The only down side with this purchase was that the camera in a big box with just a piece of paper. Wish they would have packed it a bit better.

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.

After 15 years shooting exclusively with Nikon DSLRs I finally made the switch to mirrorless. Sony is leading the pack in Mirrorless and has been innovating and pushing the entire market while Nikon and Canon try to catch up. Excellent build quality, awesome face auto focus, and high megapixel sensor. Would highly recommend.

Takes amazing photos and videos even in the hands of an amateur photographer

I upgraded from the A7III and while that camera is still great, the A7IV takes it up a notch!
Great hybrid camera, especially good for hybrid coverage of Weddings.
It’s just worth the price.
Great ecosystem,because of all the available 3rd party lens options!
Great pair with the Tamron 35-150.

This is for me a high-end purchase, really stretching my budget. I chose this camera above all the other Sony models and above all other brands because it seems to me, after reading many reviews, that this camera is not “the best!” at anything but is very, very good at everything. I’m not trying to pay for the perfect camera or a professional’s camera. I’m trying to get one camera – one investment – to livestream, vlog, record video on vacation, take great pictures of people, nature and landscapes, and astrophotography. One can argue about how this camera or that camera would have been a better choice. This was my choice. Unless you have lots of money or this is your profession, you can only have one camera like this. After two intense weeks of reading and watching many camera reviews during the summer of 2022 the Sony a7iv is where I landed.
I will not get into the specifics and technical details about this camera because I’m not the right guy to do it. I’m still learning but I am very, very satisfied with this camera. I also very much like the G Master lenses. They are pricey but they are also very, very good lenses. The G Master f/1.2 50mm prime? Wow!
I have to give this camera five stars because it is a jack of all trades even if a master of none. Sony may have saved some of it’s master-class attributes for other more expensive models and that’s fine. For my purposes, a multitool camera is exactly what I wanted.
