Pros and cons

According to our mirrorless camera expert

Thanks to the real-time tracking and Eye autofocus, you can easily focus on the eyes of people, animals, and birds.
The 5-axis image stabilization reduces motion blur, which allows you to manually take clear photos in low light.
You record smooth footage in 4K resolution at 60 fps.
A memory card isn't included.

Description

The Sony A7 IV is a professional mirrorless camera for enthusiastic photographers and videographers. The light-sensitive 33-megapixel full-frame image sensor is backlit, so you can also create a clear image in dark circumstances. The autofocus system has 759 focus points, so you can quickly focus on your subject. The camera has real-time tracking and Eye autofocus for people and animals. While you watch birds, the camera automatically focuses on the bird's eyes and follows its movement. Thanks to the fast buffer, you can take photos at 10 fps. That way, you won't miss anything.

Image stabilization

The 5-axis image stabilization reduces motion blur up to 5 stops. this means you can manually take photos for longer at dusk or dark locations. In Active Mode, the camera stabilizes your recording even more by cropping the image. That's useful for videographers making a vlog or activity video, for example.

Video

Take smooth videos in 4K resolution at 60 fps. In the Slow and Quick mode, you can make slowed down or sped up recordings right away. The camera edits these images immediately. If you want to slow down your recordings in post-editing, record in Full HD at 120 fps. Experienced videographers record in 10-bit 4:2:2 S-CINETONE/S-LOG3. This file format has a larger dynamic range, so you can later adjust the lighting and colors more accurately. Use the livestream function for razor-sharp YouTube streams and share a live event that way, for example.

Top-class hybrid camera

Smooth 4K 60 fps video and 33 MP photos
Fast real-time autofocus on human and animal eyes
Handy button with video functions
Burst rate of 5 to 6 fps with uncompressed RAW files

The Sony A7 IV is a powerful hybrid camera for the serious photographer and videographer. I capture smooth 4K footage and sharp 33MP photos. Thanks to the IBIS (In-Body Image Stabilization), I easily shoot stable handheld footage. However, I noticed that the burst speed for uncompressed RAW files drops to 5 to 6 fps. If you often photograph fast-moving subjects, such as athletes or race cars, and you primarily work with uncompressed files, this is something to keep in mind.

Smooth 4K videos and sharp photos I tested the Sony A7 IV with the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II lens. With this kit, I easily capture a variety of subjects. I tested the camera at a petting zoo and photographed wide landscapes from a distance and animals up close. The photos I took with this camera are razor-sharp thanks to its 33-megapixel resolution. I shoot in RAW and JPEG so I have editing options and can share my images quickly. For example, I photograph a cat enjoying the sun, and even after zooming in, I can clearly see all its hairs in my photos. These small details stand out even more thanks to the bokeh effect I create with the lens. I'm also happy with the videos I shoot. The A7 IV films in high resolution, 4K, at 60 frames per second. This allows me to smoothly capture a couple of playful goats. I film in 8-bit to save memory. For more color depth, I switch to 10-bit. This gives me even more flexibility in post-processing.

Fast autofocus on the eyes of people and animals The Sony A7 IV's autofocus is fast and quiet. I point the camera at a goat, and it immediately focuses on its eyes. The animal isn't startled by the soft sound of the shutter release. The autofocus also works well with people, making this camera suitable for portrait photography as well. In burst mode, this camera shoots a maximum of 10 compressed RAW photos per second. If you work with uncompressed files, this drops to 5 to 6 photos per second. For most situations, this is more than enough. Do you enjoy shooting fast-moving subjects like athletes or race cars and prefer working with uncompressed files? Then keep this limitation in mind.

Handy video functions with a single button On top of the camera is a function button that I customize. With a single press, I switch between video functions like Active Mode, Focus Compensation, and AF Assist. Active Mode further stabilizes my footage when I'm filming while walking. The IBIS in this camera helps with this. Thanks to this image stabilization in the camera body, I shoot sharp videos handheld. That works well, especially when I'm filming from an awkward angle and my hand shakes more. That's why I also recommend this camera for travel photography.

Best hybrid camera on the market!

Best hybrid camera on the market!
Unprecedented autofocus
Good lowlight options
4K 50FPS in crop modes only

What a beast of a camera this is, for both my photography and video work. Before this I had the Sony A7iii, which was already a great camera. This one has a better grip, higher megapixel sensor, and 10-bit video (this is what makes the difference for me).

Keep them coming Sony!

Review is 10 out of 10.

Hybrid topper for the serious photo and videographer

The autofocus
The overall quality of the photos and videos
The speed (as long as you don't use the camera for sports photography)
You would rather see such devices a 1000 euros cheaper, but the increased prices are everywhere. It is what it is.

I really needed an upgrade for video, while I still have a long way to go in photography. As far as photography is concerned, it is actually still an overkill for me at the moment to own a camera of this level. Still opted for a camera from this class and was deeply impressed from the first moment. As far as videography is concerned it does exactly what I want and need (without overheating and time limits but unfortunately with a crop at 4k50) and in the field of photography the possibilities to expand my knowledge and skills with this camera are almost unlimited. Because I switched from Canon to Sony, everything is actually new, but the ease of use is excellent. It is advisable to really go through all the settings, whether or not "accompanied" by a YouTube video of someone who explains it for you, so that you do not have to figure everything out yourself. I find it useful. Soon I will be going to the national parks in the US and I have no doubt that this full frame beast will give me much nicer shots (and videos anyway) than the devices that have come with me on previous trips. Thanks to this camera, I'm secretly looking forward to the upcoming trips even more.
