Great review! I own the a7III, a7RIII, a7SIII, and the a1, and seeing the features in this new camera, I can tell you that people are going to absolutely flock to this as it checks almost all the right boxes for professionals as well. I may sell my a7III and a7RIII eventually and use these as run and gun cameras for weddings especially. The a1 is the best camera I never want to put down, but I have no doubt new owners of the a7IV are going to feel right at home with it.
What an incredible short film of your trip. Not the camera, but how beautifully everything is put together. Wow, incredible and was glued to the screen through it. Great storytelling!!
Thank you so much dude!
Nailed it. Exactly what I needed to help solidly my decision to buy. I love how they enhanced almost all features from the A7III and added a few bits from the A1. Excited to get my hands on it.
Bam bam bam!
I really enjoyed that video! I liked how you started with a film first, to let us see the practical application of the camera before delving into the specs and capabilities. It was refreshing! One question I was curious about. Some reviewers said that shutter mechanism was a little louder than the other modern Sony bodies. Would you say the mechanical shutter is about the same as the A7sIII, or a bit a louder? Also some mentioned that it's actually got a slightly chunkier grip than the A7sIII. Is that true? I assumed it was the same size as the A7rIV, A7sIII, A9 II, A1, etc in the current body design. Was just curious. Thanks!
Thanks so much! I’m glad you liked the format!
The shutter seems to be about even with my Fx3 (which I believe is the same as the a7siii) if I remember correctly, the A1 had a super quiet shutter but this one is still reasonably quiet too. The grip and body are nearly identical to the a7siii from what I can tell.
Love the whole video. Every part, especially your short at the beginning. Really showcases what the camera can do and it’s got that special Dunna magic.
Also, that song had some serious José González vibes and I’m all here for it.
Thanks Enriko! Haha yeah you’re right it totally did!
Whats the name of the song that starts at about 6:25...?
Thanks for throwing in that crop information, that’s one of the main reasons I’ll probably pick this up as a B cam
Yuuuussss!
Many people are complaining about 5fps when shooting uncompressed raw. It would be good to cover the topic of shooting uncompressed raw / lossless compressed (~5-6fps) vs lossy compressed (~8-10fps depending on card used). I'm inclined to shoot uncompressed raw but file sizes might scare me enough to use lossy :)
Dunna - This is next level commitment from your side to actually provide what a real world use of the camera produces. Just want you to know that off late it has become very evident of the effort you are putting in your videos and this RUclips channel. Great work. Keep it up.
Thanks so much!!
Your grading is very filmic. That sequence leading up to getting to the park felt like watching a movie. Way prefer that style to most vlogging.
This video was fun and enjoyable to watch. Thanks!
I'd like to hear your experience with the rolling shutter, as I heard it's so bad.
I pre-ordered mine but rolling shutter issues is my only concern (I will use it mainly for videos)
I honestly didn’t notice it too much. It’s pretty well handled with active stabilization so any time I would have normally seen it strongly, I had that on. I’ll include this in the future video though!
@@dunnadidit thanks and please do
Same for me. I pre-ordered but rolling shutter is my one big concern. I don’t mind the 4k60 crop.
Ahh man! What a dramatic bg music in the beginning! Gotta point it😀👌🏻💪🏻
WOW! The Peyto Lake view is everything, I enjoyed your adventure wish the video was longer.
Aww thanks Stephanie!
You’re welcome!
Bro, love your stuff, I’ve been waiting for this to drop, I’ve not drooled over a camera in a while, and appreciate your video style, so I am glad you’ve got your vid up. 🤣 have a great day!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Excellent. Anyone can read off specs but you produced an end result that showcases the A74 so well. Thanks!
Thank you!
The area around Peyto Lake is absolutely stunning. I live nearby and I regularly ski tour in that area. I’ve been to the top of the mountain right next to the lake. The view from the summit is especially incredible! Glad you enjoyed your visit there. Next time you’re in the area I encourage you to head further North on highway 93 to the Columbia Icefield. The glaciers there are truly something to behold.
I’ve been up and down the incefields parkway a handful of times lately! You could spend months there trying to hit all the spots though haha!
That photo and video setting switch is so awesome…
Definitely a step in the right direction.
Loved this video. Also super envious of that view! Also also. Dunna without a hat??!!
Yes, this makes sense now. I was wondering why no one had made any comments about the fact that I shaved my head. But I guess if I was wearing a hat all the time before no one even knew that I had hair.
I have watched almost all reviews of a7iv but one of the best reviews its from you ur my favorite RUclipsr 😎
Thanks so much!!
Bought one a few weeks ago. Upgraded from Nikon D3s. What a massive difference a decade in tech advances has made!!
Thanks for that video Dunna. TBH is the first video about the A7IV that I don't close after a couple of minutes.
I'm sick and tired of the reviews that read the specs to you. Your video with the travel vlog is just on point, and shows a real-world usage of the camera. Also, sick views that lake. 😍
Well done!
Thanks for saying that! Those videos are helpful, but I figured there would be lots of them already.
So far you're the only one who mentioned who mentioned the APS-C mode and the number of megapixels we get, which is a very important thing IMHO.
Would be great to have a comparison with A7r3... it's 12mpix more and I'm wondering if it's worth buying now over the a7m4.
At this point, I'd say this is a better camera to buy than the a7r3. The features and processing it can do are much better and the MP count is only really a small piece of the pie.
Quality video love the whole content, I've been researching this Sony IV to see if it is for me. It appears that you are pushing me towards it. I've been a Nikon man for many a year now, but seeing Sony and the advancements made by them over the years, have impressed me so much that I have been waiting for this camera to come out. For the level of photography I do, this is perfect I can't keep waiting and waiting for the next upgrade of Sony A75 or 6 etc. it's time to buy ...
Heyyy! Can I know what song was playing at 6:24 and where can I find it from the list of websites you put in the description?
Great video! I'm thinkng about joining team Sony. I mostly shoot talking head footage in 4k 30. I am debating between the a7IV and Cannon (R6?). My only hesitancy is that, side-by-side, the Cannon footage seems to have punchier, more vibrant colors and skin tones out of camera. However, colors look good in this video! Do you think that I can achieve Canon (or better) colors out of camera (without grading)? Thanks again!
I think that if you like one better straight out of camera, you should totally go that way. I’m a pretty heavy color grader (this was all shot in SLOG3 and graded by hand) so this definitely doesn’t give you a look at SOOC color. That said, Sony has done a lot to improve their color science lately.
Check out videos using S-Cinetone. Thats a solid baked in look that this camera now has. You can also adjust all of the settings for that S-cinetone profile in camera to add more saturation or contrast, so you should be able to get a very great looking image directly out of camera similar or better to Canon depending on your preference
Just a big recommendation: Before jumping ship based on a body, also consider the lenses. Bodies will changes every year but you will be sad when lenses you want or need are not available. Example: Canon has the best lenses on the market and they continue pumping out one amazing lense after another. On the downside those are costly. Unique quality is not cheap (but look at lenses like the RF 28-70 f2!). For Sony on the other hand, you get many third party lenses in mid tear price segment. So if you are more into many options at lower cost the Sony might be interesting. On the other hand the new Canon R system cameras allow you to just adapt to all EF mount lenses so you basically have the same kind of lens market there.
Anyway I would recommend looking more into lens market then into bodies. If you want the best lenses and f1.2 lenses pull a trigger for you, go Canon. If you want more selection (Tamron, Sigma etc) go Sony.
@@Seitenwerk That makes a lot of sense. Thank you Alexander.
@@HopeProphecy be careful of R6 overheating issues! I got about 30-40 minutes of 4K before it overheated. And it could be sort of forced to shoot again after 5mins cooldown, but I only got about 5mins more this way without overheat. Takes 1hr or so to cool down completely again. Just my experience during a rental
That's how it should be done. Easy and enjoyable to watch. A lot of work is put on the video and it's just perfect.
Thanks so much!
Hi Thanks for video, showing what a7iv can produce, rather than just talking specs, so subscribed. Looks like a pretty darn good camera that's likely to be in short supply for next 6 months or so (chip shortages, world logistic challenges, C-19 and demand pattern in 2018 with earlier a7iii). Anyway I just decided to pre-order one, here in UK. Hopefully get it in Dec, rather than circa June'22 - by waiting to see first production models in dealers, before buying.
I was impressed that you could do the vid you showed, all from this one camera - I know a lot about still shooting and tech stuff etc. but have much to learn about video production. I'm mostly a stills shooter, but would like to venture into video and this seems the perfect new Sony model to commence that 'convergence' journey towards hybrid shooting.
I know video devotees rave about a7siii but the small circa 12Mp pixel count made that a bit limiting for a stills user like me. It looked initially (to me) like an a1 was needed, within Sony ecosystem, if one wanted both good stills and good video capability within a single body? Until this popped up - much of a1's basic stuff (bar rolling shutter performance, highest frame rate, 1/400 sync, 8k) at less than half the price?
One query (forgive my ignorance), but when you say 'forced into crop mode on 4k 60' (for slow-mo I think in hi-res) does the video quality look similar/same as 4k shot in non crop mode as far as detail, colour, quality goes etc? I realise that in crop mode that wide shots are trickier, although a 16-35 GM at 16mm should still, hopefully, look pretty much like a 24mm not in crop.
The best review. Congratulations. From Brazil.
Thank you!
Your nature is too much friendly when watching the video I feel that one of my freind making this video . Loved to watch your content ,thankyou dunna
Awww that’s nice!!
New to your channel. I can't believe your already getting snow up there!
Haha mostly up in the mountains. It was raining in my city today.
Nice one man! I'm definitely getting this! Dig the new hair btw!
Thanks dude!!
Enjoyed the video! I really like the style of breaking things down without making all of us feel like we have to go out and buy this or else we are just behind. I have a bit of Canon glass and am about to jump from an RP to an R6, but it's nice to see how Sony is forcing Canon to ramp up...
This is my kind of camera review 😜. great location and nice job!
Haha need more ice caves!!
Man your photos from 11:25 to 11:36 are so good 🔥 Great video!
It looks great but I honestly would've preferred an updated 24MP sensor to keep that sweet spot for low light and photo.
It looks like there's no touch menu yet?
I actually think Sony are splitting their mid range into two.
-> A7C line for video focused hybrid
-> A7IV for photo focused hybrid.
I was considering upgrading to this from A7C but I don't know if it's worth it now. I do mostly video so maybe it's worth saving cash away and waiting for the A7C II or if I can, going to the FX3
Thanks for the video. I liked your short film adventure too!
I think I agree with the 24MP sensor but mostly because I feel like that could have made 4K60P a possibility with no crop. And yes, this camera does have a touch menu now.
That seems pretty accurate to me (the a7iv vs a7c thing)
Cheers!
@@dunnadidit
Awesome re the touch menu!
Yes! 4k 60P with no crop would be amazing.
Keep up the good work, mate!
I just added Peyto Lake to my bucket list. Because that view is just so amazing, and that’s just from watching on my phone. I already know it’s gonna be a lot better in person.
It’s ridiculous. I’m so excited for you to check it off your list
It’s a stunning world-class glacial lake right in our back yard! 🇨🇦
I’m way more into practical use reviews like this! Well done Dunna! Can you confirm that the MR (1,2,3) is customizable for each of the photo/video/s&q modes? I gathered that that is the case which would be very cool to have
Just checked... turns out you do get double the memory recall modes! 3 video, 3 photo!
Was there for the aurora a few years back...amazing location
Amazing!
It's been a while since you've put up an image editing video. Might be cool to see another one if you do a more image focused review of the a7iv in the future 🤞🏻.
Like an edit walkthrough of one of my a7iv photos?
@@dunnadidit Yes, exactly! Thanks for taking time to reply, wasn't expecting that!
I’ll definitely keep it in mind!
Awesome review! I love your work. ❤ I'm likely going to sell my A7III for the A7IV when I have the funds to cover the difference. Thank you for going out and testing it in Canadian weather! 🥰
I have one question for you though Dunna (as a photography student now learning video in class), is it just me or is the talking head footage in the studio kinda crooked? I keep looking at your background and can't help but wonder if its just the lighting, or if it's slightly off...🙃👍
Haha good eye, yeah its a bit crooked. I do my best to level out the camera but I think my carpet is a bit more squishy in one area than the other so my shelving isn't perfectly level. Also, I've noticed that it only takes like 2mm off of center and the whole thing looks wonky. Its darn near impossible to get perfect. Usually i touch it up in post but i missed it this time! It's always most obvious when I do the punch ins.
Gorgeous spot and photo man. Love the edit you out together. Got a sub! 🔥🙌🏼
Thanks!
A practical dynamic range comparison would be awesome! Like capturing the same high dynamic range scene on the A7IV and on the A7III, A7SIII and S5 - or maybe some other cameras you have lying around. Would be great to see how they stack up when they all use their respective log profiles with ETTR and proper color space transform.
Also awesome video! Makes me wanna spend the 2.5k$ on a trip to Canada rather than buying a camera lol
Good idea! Both the test suggestion and the trip!
Dude your videos are always on point! Your reviews always feel honest. Thank you for all that you do!
Thanks so much!
Love your work bro! especially your colour grading and story telling! Thanks for the updates and details! Definitely going to consider this one now as the next upgrade. I remember visiting this place when I visited your amazing country. It reminds me of the south Island here in New Zealand a little bit. A home away from home.
Thank you!!
Great shots in both photo and video Dunna! Canada has some beautiful landscapes.
Thanks Joshua.
Loved your review!! Very well presented..
Hi Dunna,
Question. Is the 1080 upsampled? I wonder what the FF 1080 60 looks like.
Best review for this camera! Thank you for showing a real life creative project! Great work Dunna! 😎👍🏻
Thanks so much!!
what microphone system are you using to get such good audio, what lighting system are you using, and what settings were you using to take this video?
Very entertaining review and amazing footage. I went to Peyto lake in summer a few years ago and it was spectacular. I have to say this part of Canada (the only one I visited) is really magnificient. So many lakes and places, streams, cascades, wildlife. Being French and used to visit the Alps, mountains and valleys in Canada are so much gigantic. Amazing.
Thanks so much! It really is incredible isn’t it!
GREAT adventure!! Awesome. I love how October fall in Canada is like our NYC December 18th....lol....
Haha it’s only that intense in the mountains.
Well... Canada is pretty big. October in Toronto (where I live) is like October in NYC, and October in the Rockies is not like it is in Toronto, much like October in Miami is not like NYC.
Omar Bhai we are waiting for your video about new Sony camera
I think Sony has a winner on there hands again.Lot of bang for the buck.Great video!!!
Thanks for showing the real world use, and for all the quality Peyto Lake content!!! Makes me miss my home 🥰
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
My favorite review!!! Love the real world use of the camera. This was a short, but enjoyable, adventure!! Thanks for sharing! Cheers
Thanks so much!
How’s the weather sealing?
would that be a good camera for beginner music video apprentice ???
Heck yea it would!
Such a unique way of reviewing the camera!
Awesome! felt like watching a movie! 😍😍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can’t I just use a soeedbooster for the 4K 60 in super 35 mode to get the full frame back or will I lose auto focus details and sharpness
I don’t have a ton of experience with speedboosters so I couldn’t say for sure. Does someone make an e mount to e mount speedbooster?
im interested in the 1080p and if its lineskiped and how good it looks. 10bit 1080p is what interest me the most as a hybrid shooter. the photo side of this camera is all i need, but im hoping the 1080p is steller to
Great question!
Hehe, that last shot... See one of these days you need to release a video that shows a behind-the-scenes take on how you produce a video such as this. Like, when you first get out of your SUV, I know already you got out of your SUV already from the footprints, had to go and set up your tripod for that shot of you exiting the SUV, go back and sit in your vehicle and then exit AGAIN!
LOL these videos must have you walking around the same areas three or four times each! set up the camera, do your shot, take down the camera, repeat!
Haha I definitely get my steps in while I’m filming
@@dunnadidit I bet it takes quite a while too, especially if you are shooting alone! Setting up the angles, figuring your placement and whatnot! Hahaha
Love it, mine is due to arrive soon.
Stoked for you!
@@dunnadidit Just came in today!! OMG feels so much better than the A73 just in time cause I have something to shoot tomorrow
Dunna your videos are just awesome, you really go out there and put the camera to the test.
Thanks so much!
60p 4k no crop,
240p 1080p no crop
less rolling shutter
(Why the a74 is not capable to do that. It has the a1's processor and a very good censor. What is the problem? I don't know what else is needed to reach the specs I wrote.
Anyway, I think it is a very good camera, I like it. Canon R6 has recording time limit (and I think it looks too ugly) which is deal breaker for me. Closest rival of the a74 is canon r6
I think that if it weren't such a high resolution sensor, it could do that. But downscaling 7K to 4K at 60fps I believe would cause heat issues. I'm speculating a bit but I think thats it. It would have been nice even to see a pixel binned version of 4K60 that would allow for no crop for sure.
@@dunnadidit yeah, logical. Thanks for the answer.
Great video Dunna. Always enjoy the way you celebrate Canada and Alberta.
This camera really makes me wanna sell my a7iii. The flip screen and speed boost are something I struggle with constantly as a hybrid shooter.
Also, fun fact we learned last time we were at Peyto, it’s pronounced PEE-toh…. “the more you know”
Well would you look at that. I just learned something.
Great vid, thanks for the review. A pretty compelling package now and not too bad a price to bear. Lovely captures BTW.
Thank you!
That video that you made during your adventure is actually awesome!! you should do more of those 🙌🏽
Thanks so much! Have you seen my 20mm video, I did a similar style!
Great review Dunna! Bet it felt great making and watching this short movie like review.
Glad you liked it!
Nice video! Like the way you did it. First a nice video and then explain.
Thanks!!
Hi, could you compare shutter sounds of the Sony a7r4 to the new a7IV? Is it louder? Thanks for great video!
I don't have an R4 but I'll try to demonstrate as best as I can!
Really enjoying this adventure/gear_review format. Top shelf stuff good sir. :)
great review, thank you :)
Thanks beautiful video.
What is the 1080p like in the A74. Can I use clear image view in HD without any loss in quality.
Thanks for watching! I’ll keep this in mind for the tests video!
Am very much looking forward to purchase the a7 IV but want to know if in the video it overheat ??
some say yes some say no what is the truth please ??
thank you for your time good day
charlie
Great question!
How about test shots of the Sony a7iv 4k crop 60fps with Sony 16-55 f2.8 lens? The new Tamron aps-c Zoom lenses and the Sigma new aps-c Zoom lenses. Also, do several similar tests with Fuji aps-c prime lenses for Sony e-mount: Fuji 16mm f1.4; Sigma 19mm f/2.8; Sigma 30mm f/1.4; Sigma 56mm f/1.4.
Thank you for your videos. Pleasant and useful to watch as always
Glad to hear that! Cheers!
love the video bro. u r good
How is shooting video on a7iv in terms of rolling shutter, low light performance over the a7s, is there a huge difference to sacrifice some of the specs from the a7s3 to go to a7iv for more of a hybrid camera??
Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll keep those in mind!
Well done man, thanks and..Beautiful Trip
Thanks a ton!
Well in fella. Another top drawer production. Up there with your Porsche escapades. The dog in the lake looks amazing. Deffo a German Shepard. 🐶 As for the A7IV if anyone wants to do a swop with my A6000, then PM me. 😂✊
Thanks a ton!
The place just wowed me man.
Excellent video, and a very practical way of putting the camera through it's motions! Nice work, as always!
One minor upgrade (which is a big one for post workflow) is the fact that the file naming system doesn't always reset to C001 every time you format a card. This was a major pain on multi camera shoots, and even general project usage/storage with the A7iii.
Yeah I did notice that too! thanks for pointing it out!
Loves the travel film!
Thanks a ton!
*Would a 2017 MacBook Pro be able to process 4k 24fps from the A7IV in Davinci Pro?* I'm looking at buying my first camera (deciding between A7C and A7IV - definitely can't afford the A7s3) for RUclips, Zoom calls and general social media but I want the highest quality possible, and for it to last. I would rather spend more money on my initial investment, and have the quality stand the test of time. I would probably get the 20mm f1.8 G-lens, and 1 studio light (with 1-2 background lights in the short term). The A7C is $2500 AUD and the A7IV is $4000 pre-order + G-lens is $1200.
Yes, thats my exact macbook and it works for sure. Once you go heavy on the grading and stuff it can bog down but using half res previews helps a lot. This is a huge step up from the a7c in my opinion. Especially for video.
Great video and thanks for not just touting stuff from the specsheet like it has Breathing-Compensation... *rolleyes*
Couple of questions about the Camera:
1) Everyone raves about the Eye-AF. How does it comapare to ANIMAL-Eye AF / Tracking from the A6400 for Example? It's always a bit "meh" when not shooting Humans from my experience.
2) How does the Crop on Stills compare to the APS-C Sensors? If I would switch from my A6400 - would I notice a huge difference in image-Quality when shooting in Crop-Mode and using my existing APS-C Glass? The resolution is lower but how do the images turn out?
3) Now that my wish is finally there and the Shutter curtain can close when the camera is off: Is it far enough back that you can't reach it with the Lens when mounting it? You know - when you need to finagle a bit to get everything aligned. Is it "safe" is basically my question :D
4) About the Noise-Thing. Everyone always shows the Noise-performance on Video. How is it on Photo? This sensor has more mega-pixels so I would expect more Noise in the image? Again - coming from 24MP APS-C it should be pretty good I think.
As you can see - I'm on A6400 and want to move to that camera but there is just way to much focus on Video and Crop and 4K that I feel like no one wants to talk about the other side of "The ultimate hybrid camera" :-(
Wish I could try before I buy but in my country this is not really a practice that you can rent a camera - at least not a Sony and not for feasable prices (300 bucks a week, anyone...)
Thanks for the kind words! And for the suggestions! I'll try my best to address them all in another video for you!
Does anyone know if rolling shutter can be addressed with future firmware updates? Have there been cases like that?
Zack nailed it. Basically, when they went for the 33mp sensor, it meant that they were going to need to them read 9million extra pixels from the sensor every frame. So they out a faster processor in it to get it to about the same rolling shutter as the a7iii. If they had slapped this processor in a 24MP camera, I bet the rolling shutter could be kept pretty darn minimal.
I’m wondering whether I should replace my Panasonic S5 and A7RIV with this… it’s really tempting
Nice video, I am thinking about buying the Sony a7IV..
Is it possible good footage when walking with this camera without a gimbal?
Yeah I think it does pretty good with active stabilization.
Great camera, is it better than Nikon z6 ii??
Please make a video on 4k and 1080p rolling sutter
Good call!
Dude you’re Canadian! Peyto Lake is stunning. (Alberta boy here) 🇨🇦
Born and raised right here in Alberta! Headed out to BC next year though!
Thanks for the video...and I was wondering if you could share some raw sample images of A7M4?
The best color grading I have seen! What is the focal length and aperture you used for this video?
Thank you so much! I think I shot most of it at f1.8
@@dunnadidit this is the best looking footage I've seen on a7iv! nice work. what lens did you use to film it all ?
cheers from uk
I think this camera was made for people going from a7iii and apsc to full frame or a7siii users who needs bcam. Than everything make so much sense. good cam imo. If I had 2.5 laying around may grab it to have dedicated studio camera
Totally!
Hi Dunna! Love your Video, excellent RUclips. Love your Video colour. I thinking up grading A7IV from my A7III, but I not sure about the Full HDMI functionality of the port from the A7IV. Can the full HDMI use as a connection to capture card such as Elagato 4k and feed the software? Or there is no choice but left one choice of using USB C for a Web Cam for streaming?
You can use the HDMI for streaming!
Thank you so much for your respond. Let me know if you start training classes for photos and video setting. Happy to pay your training!
Video comparison to the a7siii?
Definitely!
Excellent effort, excellent review. You, sir, have earned a new sub. Good job!
Cheers!!
Would love to know the external recording capablities of A7IV
Bro. That lake sequence made me forget this was a A74 review lol
Yay! I'm glad to hear that!
Please create more vlogs like these
Deal!
Do you think the autofocus update for photography performance alone warrants an upgrade from the A7C?
Hello sir, I m from India I m really great fan of ur color grade... Can I know on which software U do color grade.... And I am a big fan of Sony.. I m using a crop sensor a6400... I m willing to upgrade.... I need a hybrid camera.. should I upgrade to a74
I use Davinci resolve for my edit and grade. A7iv would be a great upgrade!
