  • Literally nobody was expecting this! Tony & Chelsea Northrup review the Sony a7 IV ($2,600 at sdp.io/a74) against the previous generation camera, the Sony a7 III ($1,900 at sdp.io/a73). They test it for portraits, sports, landscape, travel and wildlife. The new 33 megapixel full-frame mirrorless camera is a BIG upgrade in several ways, but might not be worth the money for some photographers.

    Great info! I'm thinking 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!

    • @jambononi
      @jambononi 2 года назад +3

      Yes you'll be able to match Canon colour science with a slight adjustment of tint or contrast etc. Plus you can create your own colour profiles etc. So I would 100% get the Sony because there's no 30 min record limit. Sometimes talking heads go over, and it's such a pain.

      Look at EOSHD. This guy has LUTS that pretty much have hacked the Sony’s to look like Canon. Another great option, and one I prefer is the Leaming LUT. This is more of a corrective LUT vs a creative lot like the EOSHD. I prefer Leeming LUT personally.

    Hi, congratulations for the very interesting video. I'd like to ask you a question. For me the stabilization of a camera is very important because I make all my documentaries around the world freehand, without tripods and without stadyshot. If I had to buy the Sony A7 IV and the Sony FE 24-105mm f / 4 G OSS, could the two stabilizations, both of the camera and that of the lens, work together and in synergy? Do you think the Sony A7 IV with Sony FE 24-105mm f / 4 G OSS might be the right camera for me or is it better that I look to another camera with better stabilization? Thank you very much

    I would be extremely interested to see what happens when you use your a7IV with breathing compensation turned on using the Sony G 200-600mm lens. does it correct the problem that the G telephoto has when shooting at close focusing distances? You mentioned using extension tubes to compensate in your review of the lens, but could this feature cure that? This would be very useful for my wildlife needs if so. Could you do a video on the breathing correction and use this lens in it?

    Very nice review, Tony & Chelsea. I can tell right off the bat you are extremely knowledgeable on the information.
    I have the A7SIII as well as the A7C. I use the A7SIII for shooting my videos and then the A7C is used for my thumbnails as well as recreational photography. I am deciding whether it is worth it to upgrade my A7C to the A7IV -- it will be used primarily for photography.
    Though I do not see the A7IV being a good video substitute for my A7SIII as it looks like the A7SIII remains video king -- especially when shooting 4K.

    Always love your video. Looking forward to see the comparison of Canon R6 VS Sony A7IV. I’m will wait until your comparison video. I like the A7IV new touch screen manual and the fully articulated screen like the Canon. Does it has the thing that block the sensor like R6. The other thing is about the cost of CF Express. I know it’s faster. Hopefully the price will come down in the future. Does it mean I will need a faster computer and possibly upgraded my hard drive? Thanks.

    Tony & Chelsea, I have an A7Riiia I use for weddings and portraits mostly. I have been waiting for the A7iV to come out because I need a 2nd camera, specifically for weddings. If I get a good price on the A7R4 it is not much more than the A74. Which would you buy? I don't really need 61mp, is the Autofocus on the A7R4 as good as this new A74? That would probably be my most important factor. Will the buffering while shooting multiple shots be faster on the A74 because of the new CF card slot (and the lower mp (than the R)? Great content and videos, you guys are awesome! Thank You

Would you consider the 7iv an upgrade from the Riii? This way, I could just use my Riii for a backup and make the new one my main. One HUGE reason for the backup upgrade is the Rii doesn't teather to my computer, which I use a lot in studio.

      Any modern full-frame would be a great upgrade, especially if you shoot in low light frequently. Forget about the impostor syndrome. Experiment with different cameras and setups and get whatever fits your workflow and budget that will advance your photography/videography further. If it is not going to help that cause, then it is not worth getting, it is just an impulse purchase.

      A9 definitely.the only reason to choose a7iv over the a9 is the video aspect,a9 is lack of PP but if you dont color grade or even dont do video,then a9 will be a better choice.24mp vs 33mp isnt that difference,almost unnoticeable.but the AF and fps of a9 is just way ahead of a7iv.they say it (a7iv) has the same autofocus system as a1 but it’s not,it just has the same phase detection number.but the AF/AE calculation is nowhere near a9,let alone a1.(a7iii is 20 calculation per second,a9 is 60 calculation/s and a1 is 120 calculation/s) it might improve a bit from a7iii but still doesnt even close to a9.

      @@jumpydesign & Chris, no that was sensor thing for stills photo. It was discovered when the A7 III was released, the (first) example picture was from Sony's press event where they allowed RUclipsrs / journalists to shoot a human couple with the A7 III. One of the journalists published his problem photo. I still remember that scene. Just would need to dig out a link. Or, you probably can google it 🙂 It was reported widely (dpreview, fstoppers, petapixel?)
      Looked like pixel level striping problems, i.e. caused by phase detect pixel rows or columns.

      From 2018 to 2022, 4 years has passed. You have a 4 year old camera. That's definitely not yet old enough for an upgrade! People nowadays call 1-2 year old cameras old and question upgrading - are you mad?! I literally just saw a video titled; '' Is Canon R6 still good today?'' and the video was made couple months ago in June of 2021... Canon R6 was released in July of 2020... THAT'S 11 MONTHS AFTER THE CAMERAS RELEASE!!! Is an 11 month old camera still good?!?! OF-FU*KING-COURSE IT IS!! People are winning photography awards and still doing work with 8, 9 or even 10 year old cameras, while people on RUclips are complaining if their 2-3 (in this case 4) year old camera is still good enough?! What?! I have a 1DXll and I've only just now, two weeks ago, decided to upgrade to the a7IV - NOT BECAUSE 1DXll IS ''OUTDATED,'' because it's not, it produces way better images than the a7IV but because I wanted to finally jump to a mirrorless camera. I don't know what's wrong with people on Instagram and RUclips but you people need a reality check ASAP.

    Hello,
    I'm looking into the Sony A7 iii and the A7 iV.
    Is it worth the extra €900 euro if the main idea is to shoot newborn portrets ?
    The video capabilities are less important.
    The main goal is to do photography with a lot of portrait and some landscape now and then.
    Are the extra megapixels a huge gain in this ?
    Thank you for your time and I hope to get an answer on my question.

    • @mirrorlessny
      @mirrorlessny 2 года назад

      I don't think the difference in megapixels is that big of a deal, definitely harder to edit & store though. The new menus & improved autofocusing are big upgrades. Screen can be annoying for high/low angle photography. If you rarely use evf then a7C might be a good pick.

      @@TonyAndChelsea Thanks, yours is the only review I've seen that actually tested with birds, so I wanted to get your opinion. I think I'm just going to get a used A9 and save up for an A1 or hypothetical A9III. I'm assuming they aren't likely to add bird eye AF in a firmware update, since the A9 is older. But I'm thinking I could get around that by stopping down to like F8 so more of the bird is in focus. That would require higher ISO, but I believe 24MP should be less noisy than 33MP so I think that might be a good workaround.
