I bought this after being a Canon shooter for over 10 years. I needed a camera that could handle low light and Sony is great for low light photography. It was easy to adapt to, the camera takes amazing pictures and videos and I really don't have many complaints. It did overheat a couple of times, but I was shooting video pretty nonstop in 100 degree weather. In regular conditions I have zero problems. I'm sure most of the quirks are pretty common in most cameras. I bought this after the A7V came out, and I love that it was cheaper and probably not drastically difference in quality. Would highly recommended to anyone looking for a camera in this price range. I'm sony for life now!!!

I used the a7RII for several years in my professional work (portraits, real estate, products), and upgraded to the a7IV because I wanted the fully articulated LCD touchscreen. While having the fully articulated touchscreen is great, the a7IV also improved upon every single aspect of the a7RII, with better autofocus, ergonomics, and menu system.

very good all around camera. It's very versatile with pictures and videos. Lots of different modes within each. Can shoot raw/log. 4k60, 1080p120, plug in play live stream via usb c, creator app for more features. It's made me a lot of money, what more can you ask for?

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.

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 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.

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 shiftBad:- 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.
