This was a great review. It’s a shame that major outlets don’t do camera reviews so this is very appreciated. You went even to other professional people to ask for their opinion. Thank you for the video
I actually like focus breathing in video/cine. It gives a certain dramatic effect, especially during tense scenes. Just look at how it was used in Die Hard and other action films.
Nice review. I bought the A7IV last month and have really enjoyed it thus far. I'm using it with a Sigma 24-70 Art lens. Switching from Nikon has a little bit of a learning curve but this camera is just so feature rich and has magnificent image quality. That AutoFocus is fantastic as well. I've also been extremely happy with the Sigma lens. So much so that I bought the 150-600 sport telephoto just last week.
I think A7IV is the perfectly imperfect camera: 4k60p crop to separate from A7S3, 33MP to separate from A7R3/4, 10fps to separate from A9, and $2500 release price to make it the only new Sony camera at this price range. Sony's cripple hammer at its finest.
That rolling shutter is a deal-breaker for me, it could have been my upgrade, unfortunately, I have to look at more expensive options like the A7SIII. I've been waiting 4 years for this to be fixed but no, what a shame.
It's really bad, in stills and video way worse than expected. Would have been better to stick to 24mp with a much faster read out Sony's body design is looking very dated too, time for something new
The camera industry NEEDS to totally move away from rolling shutters and go full-on with global shutter development, and get the cost down so that it's mainstream and affordable.
@@MrBazReviews Yeah, that's my only thing about Sony, their camera bodies are pretty boxy. I like the gentler slopes and angles of the Canon bodies. The Sony's feel more solid, though. If only we could have the solid build of the Sony with a more interesting/pleasing body style...
@@ebinrock Canon have downgraded their build, lot of plastic on their cameras. Yet they are comfortable to hold. Sony have mostly the same body design, repeated, over and over again. With 0 real variation, bar a few tweaks it's unchanged for years. I find their design completely at odds v the Minolta thinking, which was ergonomics mattered, and not scared to try new designs. The blocky volvo look is dated and frankly wasn't that good anyway! I see no sign of Sony changing design/ergos, sadly. Re-using the same parts I assume to save money lol
Can the Sony a7IV film 4:3 4k for long periods of time?... I currently have the GH5, might upgrade to the sony next year... gh5 good although would prefair 4:3 on 4k 30/25fp3 for ticktok 9:16 & youtube 16:9, Awesome video :)
I need help with this camera form users!!! I have been using this camera for three years, but every time I turn the camera off, before changing the lens in order to close the shutter and minimize access to dust, the camera takes 5-7 seconds to close the shutter. Is this normal, and if it is, what does camera do after you cut off the power to it? If this is normal function, this camera is not fit for professional use! I had the camera serviced by Sony UK and they say it is normal but cannot explain why, and what does camera do for those 5-7 seconds. I spoke with Sony Technical department but they didn't know any better either. Can any of you users check if your camera does the same and let me know?
I am looking for something I can use outside, for photography and video, video mainly inside, and I need a camera for low light conditions. Would you recommend this one, or the a6700 ?
A7 IV user here. Came from the Z6 II. I like the boost in resolution, dislike the loss of low light performance. I do like the video quality (10-bit 4:2:2). I have constant focusing issues with it the Sony. It cant focus in low light and I could NOT lock focus on the horizon for a sunset shot. Lastly, the camera froze 3 times in the first day of owning it. I couldn't shut it off, go into the menu. Oh, and twice it would NOT take pictures. It just would not. Needless to say, the Sony is getting returned. Z9 is being added and a Z6 III will complement it. I don't get whats so "great" about Sony. I had trust issues on its reliability, I gave it a chance and my worries were legit.
I am contemplating between Sony and Nikon cameras. How is Sony A7iv in low light and high ISO performing shooting JPEG and video out camera without post processing? I was looking at DPreview studio shot comparison, and it appears to me Sony A7iv JPEG is losing colors in high ISO compared to other brands.
It seems like the A7 IV is pretty close but it will be wiser to go for the a7c and put the savings into some nice glasses instead if there's no need for the dual card slot and 10 bit video. If it had 4K 120 I'd jump on it, but for just that 2 bonus feature over the a7c.. it does not seem to warrant the extra cost.
Have a A7IV myself, tried with 35mm f/1.4, 55mm f/1.8, 85mm f/1.8, 90mm f2.8 and there are definitely focus-issues. The camera is not permanently front- or back focusing, but even with Eye-AF and AF-C, the selection-algorithm fails. As soon as there are strong (often vertical) contrast areas, or lines the AF prefers to focus on those parts in the frame even with the green focus frame clearly being on the eye. So, the camera is dead sharp, but it "internally" selects wrong parts for adjusting rather than the one in the focus frame. Took some selfies on a tripod, focus clearly on the eye, but often "real internal" focus was on the the black and white hairs of my beard, sometimes back focusing, sometimes front focusing. Hairs distract the camera, but also gray lines on buildings, or vertical borders of doors or windows. It's clearly a flaw in the internal focus selection logic. Had lots of portraits with different very good lenses with slightly blurry eyes but only with this camera (others work fine with same lenses). Hope they come up with a firmware upgrade soon
Hi, Between A7 IV and A7R IV which one has speedier autofocus acquisition and better tracking and by how much. please help me to make the buying decision, I feel if the AF performance is equal or close then going for higher resolution is better.
Hey, thanks for your wonderful and detailed video. I''d like t ask 2 questions please: 1) how does the Sony A7 IV work with Auto White Balance? I make documentaries in 4K 2) Sometime I don't have sufficient time to manage the camera and I lift up the camera and shoot. How does it work in this mode? Thanks for your info.
It works well and usually nails the correct white balance. Like any other camera, though, the A7 IV will tend to constantly adjust auto white balance settings if you're inside with mixed lighting conditions, creating noticeable shifts that make video unusable. So, for interior shooting, you'll want to set it manually, but it's pretty easy to do so.
for the second question, if you're referring to the image stabilization, it works well for handheld shooting, as long as you hold it relatively still and don't use a lens that's too long. If you try to walk around with it, it's pretty hard to avoid jolting without a gimbal.
Thank you for such a great review and balanced opinion. I have been stuck between the Pany S1H, GH6 and A7riv but I have been leaning toward the a7iv as a newcomer who will focus more on still but would like competent video.
honestly your review is absolutely great and Indeed. I am still confused Frame rates fps vs unlimited Burst rate or buffer using CF A Express Card. Is it capture every moment in unlimited Buffer Vs FPS?
The A7 IV shoots at up to 10 frames per second. Using a CF A Express Card, he is saying you can shoot up to that maximum 10fps for a virtually unlimited amount of time without the camera slowing down. In other words, you could hold the shutter button down until the card filled up. In comparison, I have an A7 III. When I use a normal inexpensive SD card, I can shoot at up to 10fps, but it will stop shooting after a few seconds while the camera clears the buffer. I have to wait a few seconds before I can shoot again.
@@pematamang9268 It cannot shoot any faster than 10fps, period. Sony makes the A9 series camera for photographers that need/want faster frame rates. A7 series is the all-around camera, A7R is the high resolution camera, A7S is the video-centric camera, A9 is the high fps camera, and the A1 is the flagship camera.
If A7iv is better than A7s3 in low light, does it mean this is the new best low light camera? Also how does a7iv 4K 60p compare to A7s3 60p in terms of sharpness.
sony makes good cams that dont inspire you to take photos, ugly, boring work tools, I wish they would add a bit of style to them and at least one model with a classic control scheme
wow I don't know what to do. A7 IV is a better camera than the R6 but for whatever reason, I see a brighter future with the RF mount... tell me im wrong...
@@MrBazReviews if you have legacy lens from Nikon or Canon, stick with them with adapters. It's very capable. If you are new, and not going to do fast pace shooting. Z6 is a great option. A7iv IMO is not for newbies as its price increase from a7iii/a7C is enough to get another lens. I'm using R6 and a7r2 atm. Video wise R6 is not slow; even in 4k60p HQ, the rolling shutter is still miles better than A7iv. I would say is the best among the three. R6 only thing has to consider is megapixels. 20 is relatively low, but post processing is much easier. And using it with cheap 2nd hand EF mount L lens is as good as native RF mount.
@@MrBazReviews I also suffer from Sony purposely remove AF in video when using adapter. Thus I stop using ZV-E10 and back on the old a7r2. I run 1st Gen EF L lens(no USM) on R6 better than any of my Canon DSLR. P. S. For your reference, R6 rolling shutter in stills occurs after 1/2000s
@Ji so you ignored the light RF 24-105 & 70-200 f4? Before the Sony 70-200 f2.8 GM 2 came out. E mount lacks light telephoto compare to RF... And there's decent amount of old&small EF primes that's still v.capable on R cameras.(they performed much better with R5/R6/R3
Hi, I am considering buying the Sony A7 IV for video and I would like to ask you a question. If I activate all the stabilizations possible in the camera during the shooting phase (even in the zoom lens ), will the video I get slightly decrease in quality? I mean its definition, etc. Thank you.
This camera have one very big issue; Colour banding ; Which is unacceptable 2022. I use very often long exposure in night photography and I'm not happy whit this issue.
Very Happy with the A7m3 and will wait for the non mechanical shutter Sony camera. No need for video also just photography! How much would one cost with no video?
As an A7iii shooter who just upgraded to A7iv the only negative so far has been the auto white balance! I shoot different houses with different lighting everyday and A7iii is amongst the best in getting close to an acceptable WB. However A7iv is really really bad in 15% of the shots. I won't be shooting this on AWB in jpeg mode for events, something I was able to do with A7iii.
If you mean for images then try shooting everything in S-Cinetone. I do so on my a7S III and nearly every time photos look perfect, along with videos. Picture profile number 11.
What fast action is going to happen at a wedding to cause rolling shutter in silent mode? Kind of a joke really. Never had wildlife get scared by my camera shutter sounds.
Great video Steve thanks, my biggest disappointment about this camera (given the sizable price increase over it's predecessor) was that Sony didn't manage to squeeze in a stacked sensor to once again cement them as the mirrorless leader, offering cutting edge features at a great price like so many A Series models have done before it. Sony could have still kept the A7iv artificially capped at 10fps (well it's actually 5-6fps in reality) to protect the A9 and A1 sales but I think to have quite a sizable rolling shutter and potentially nasty banding issue when shooting in silent shutter mode is unacceptable at £2400 in 2022. There is no doubting the A7iv is a nice camera with what looks great AF but I personally believe Sony needed to bring a real standout feature that no one else has at this price point and that would have been a stacked sensor. It's a significantly more competitive landscape compared to when Sony launched their A7iii 3 years ago and as things stand the A7iv is the same price as the A9i (with a stacked sensor) and an eye watering 85% more expensive than the A7iii which is still a very capable camera. I personally think Sony have priced this camera too high, with no stacked sensor, only 5-6fps if you want to shoot in uncompressed or lossless RAW (which lets face it is every serious photographer), a fairly low resolution screen compared to the competition and Sony's own A7RivA, a 1.5x crop on 4K60 and with the likes of the A9, R5, R6, Z6ii & Z7ii all in and around the same price with specs that trade blows I just feel Sony missed an opportunity to once again rise above the crowd to be the undisputed king.
@@pritambaruah9776 basically anything with a stacked sensor, so Sony's A1, A9, A9ii, Canon's R3 but I believe the best camera out there at the moment for sensor readout speed is Nikon's Z9.
@@pritambaruah9776 yeah the R5 is good, A7iii also good. Tbh there isn't that much in it, a stacked sensor is night and day different but all the other cameras are all much of a muchness.
It's just too bad that they are catering to bloggers rather then professionals with that flip out screen. It's a hindrance for those who work behind the camera.
@@harryvlogs7833 they certainly don’t destroy Sony at low light or autofocus. They have a reasonable offering, that lacks the consumer friendliness of Sony or Canon, and are likely going to be axing their cinema line in the future because of lack of sales compared to the competition.
@@Aidan_Davis hahahaha Sony are not user friendly they have a horrible settings menu and Panasonic has the better dual iso sensor and v-log which is the best
@@harryvlogs7833 Sony’s updated menu system is fine. Panasonic is a non-starter for most things that a Sony is great at, because they have horrible pulsating contrast autofocus. V-log and S-log 3 are both flat profiles and essentially the same. Panasonic hasn’t managed to produce an 8k sensor, can’t 60p full frame or 120p with a 10% crop, or produce a useable autofocus, which is why they are so far behind the pack.
As usual, Sony mirrorless creates a camera with great specs on paper but terrible in real use. Terrible monitor, poor colors, horrible menu, and the worst camera body ergonomics in the industry. Not a camera for pros who shoot for more than a few hours at a time. Good for enthusiasts who don’t know any better or only shoot casually for a few minutes at a time. I’ve owned many of these Sony mirrorless cameras and they’ve been consistent at one thing, they’re always the worst cameras I’ve ever owned.
@@MrBazReviews not sure what you mean by uncomfortable..I've had A7ii, A7riii and now A7iv. I've found them more comfortable than canon, Nikon and Panasonic
@@maheshg212 Each to his own as they say. I used Sony A mount, and much preferred the feel of the cameras. The new E stuff is very boxy with hard edges, not to my liking at all. Worse they have the same body style repeated over and over again, no variation, which is unfortunate. I also had an A6300 for 10 months, without question the worse handling camera I have ever touched. Sony need to fire some people lol
“The A7 IV has the same body…. apart from a few differences.’. Are you a democrat or something? You don’t believe in the definitions of words? Ahh, Canadian. Amazing how ignorance follows liberal thought. By definition, if the bodies are the same there are no differences. Think about what you’re saying. Better yet, have someone with logical thought edit your videos before you post them.
Your grammar is all over the place. Ahh, American. By definition "apart from" requires that there are no differences in the initial statement. Perhaps you should put a little thought into your devastating critique before you start typing. Better yet, have some who "thinks logically" edit your posts first.
My guy dropped 25% of shutter life for this video 😂
This was a great review. It’s a shame that major outlets don’t do camera reviews so this is very appreciated. You went even to other professional people to ask for their opinion. Thank you for the video
What do you mean by "major outlets"? And some examples?
I just want so say I appreciate the dubbing. Very often I have videos like this in the background as I do something else.
I actually like focus breathing in video/cine. It gives a certain dramatic effect, especially during tense scenes. Just look at how it was used in Die Hard and other action films.
Nice review. I bought the A7IV last month and have really enjoyed it thus far. I'm using it with a Sigma 24-70 Art lens. Switching from Nikon has a little bit of a learning curve but this camera is just so feature rich and has magnificent image quality. That AutoFocus is fantastic as well. I've also been extremely happy with the Sigma lens. So much so that I bought the 150-600 sport telephoto just last week.
The pro photographers who helped me with this review have the Sigma 150-600 as well (seen in a few shots in the video). It's a great lens.
Incredible camera and lens!!!!!
What about time lapse mode is it better than the Nikon?
Trop Bon ! Merci pour cette revue les gars !
Great Review. Thanks.
Yep it is a great and versatile Camera. Looking forward to using it in my upcoming videos.
Cheers from LA.
I think A7IV is the perfectly imperfect camera: 4k60p crop to separate from A7S3, 33MP to separate from A7R3/4, 10fps to separate from A9, and $2500 release price to make it the only new Sony camera at this price range. Sony's cripple hammer at its finest.
Great review till i heard “ Panasonic S6”. Gotta catch that in editing. 😅
@10:13 is there any rolling shutter in 1080p..?
That rolling shutter is a deal-breaker for me, it could have been my upgrade, unfortunately, I have to look at more expensive options like the A7SIII. I've been waiting 4 years for this to be fixed but no, what a shame.
It's really bad, in stills and video way worse than expected. Would have been better to stick to 24mp with a much faster read out
Sony's body design is looking very dated too, time for something new
The camera industry NEEDS to totally move away from rolling shutters and go full-on with global shutter development, and get the cost down so that it's mainstream and affordable.
@@MrBazReviews Yeah, that's my only thing about Sony, their camera bodies are pretty boxy. I like the gentler slopes and angles of the Canon bodies. The Sony's feel more solid, though. If only we could have the solid build of the Sony with a more interesting/pleasing body style...
@@ebinrock Canon have downgraded their build, lot of plastic on their cameras. Yet they are comfortable to hold. Sony have mostly the same body design, repeated, over and over again. With 0 real variation, bar a few tweaks it's unchanged for years. I find their design completely at odds v the Minolta thinking, which was ergonomics mattered, and not scared to try new designs.
The blocky volvo look is dated and frankly wasn't that good anyway! I see no sign of Sony changing design/ergos, sadly. Re-using the same parts I assume to save money lol

@@pritambaruah9776 basically anything with a stacked sensor, so Sony's A1, A9, A9ii, Canon's R3 but I believe the best camera out there at the moment for sensor readout speed is Nikon's Z9.
@@pritambaruah9776 yeah the R5 is good, A7iii also good. Tbh there isn't that much in it, a stacked sensor is night and day different but all the other cameras are all much of a muchness.
I rather wait for A7R V
Give me
Canon is not a rival at all compare to what the Sony has been doing...
nice 1
that french dude sounds constipated when he's speaking in English
That's normal.
It's just too bad that they are catering to bloggers rather then professionals with that flip out screen. It's a hindrance for those who work behind the camera.

Expensive
Go and buy something cheap then 👌
@@scottlad1987 No I will not
Shut up moaning then 👍
Well we all know Panasonic destroys cannon and Sony at video
@Harryogs show me
@@scinwp actually yes they do especially when it comes to video quality and low light performance
@@harryvlogs7833 they certainly don’t destroy Sony at low light or autofocus. They have a reasonable offering, that lacks the consumer friendliness of Sony or Canon, and are likely going to be axing their cinema line in the future because of lack of sales compared to the competition.
@@Aidan_Davis hahahaha Sony are not user friendly they have a horrible settings menu and Panasonic has the better dual iso sensor and v-log which is the best
@@harryvlogs7833 Sony’s updated menu system is fine. Panasonic is a non-starter for most things that a Sony is great at, because they have horrible pulsating contrast autofocus. V-log and S-log 3 are both flat profiles and essentially the same. Panasonic hasn’t managed to produce an 8k sensor, can’t 60p full frame or 120p with a 10% crop, or produce a useable autofocus, which is why they are so far behind the pack.
As usual, Sony mirrorless creates a camera with great specs on paper but terrible in real use. Terrible monitor, poor colors, horrible menu, and the worst camera body ergonomics in the industry. Not a camera for pros who shoot for more than a few hours at a time. Good for enthusiasts who don’t know any better or only shoot casually for a few minutes at a time. I’ve owned many of these Sony mirrorless cameras and they’ve been consistent at one thing, they’re always the worst cameras I’ve ever owned.
Yet to still can't keep away from Sony! 😂
@@maheshg212 Sony are easy to ignore, they make very uncomfortable cameras!
@@MrBazReviews not sure what you mean by uncomfortable..I've had A7ii, A7riii and now A7iv. I've found them more comfortable than canon, Nikon and Panasonic
@@maheshg212 Each to his own as they say. I used Sony A mount, and much preferred the feel of the cameras. The new E stuff is very boxy with hard edges, not to my liking at all. Worse they have the same body style repeated over and over again, no variation, which is unfortunate. I also had an A6300 for 10 months, without question the worse handling camera I have ever touched. Sony need to fire some people lol
“The A7 IV has the same body…. apart from a few differences.’. Are you a democrat or something? You don’t believe in the definitions of words? Ahh, Canadian. Amazing how ignorance follows liberal thought. By definition, if the bodies are the same there are no differences. Think about what you’re saying. Better yet, have someone with logical thought edit your videos before you post them.
It's crazy these liberal speech unconsciously "liberate" more and more people from logic.
Your grammar is all over the place. Ahh, American. By definition "apart from" requires that there are no differences in the initial statement. Perhaps you should put a little thought into your devastating critique before you start typing. Better yet, have some who "thinks logically" edit your posts first.
