Love My New a7R IV ...
Having owned an a7R ll and an a7R lll, I can honestly say the new Mark IV is a big improvement. Overall, the camera is more ergonomic. Sony increased the size of the grip just a bit making for a more comfortable hand-holding experience. I like the new implementation of Eye AF and action tracking. The EVF has been upgraded to the point that looking through the viewfinder, almost looks as good as an optical finder. All the buttons have been upgrade... Show More

Learning curve for me, but spectacular results
Moving from decades in Nikon land to Sony has proven somewhat of a challenge but after about two weeks I think I am getting the hang of the EVF and menus. Still, straight out of the box, the results were spectacular. I've never had a Sony camera, so I can't compare this to other cameras or versions in their line, but if you are thinking of making the switch, this camera will amaze you. Initially pared it with the Tamron 28-75 (great lens, SO sharp!) and hoping to buy the Sony 35mm F1.8 once I sell my Nikon 24-70 F2.8.

A7R4 worth the upgrade?
Not that much improvement over A7R3. Image quality barely noticeable. Battery drained has increased maybe due to bluetooth, comparing to A7R3. Bought it for real time video focusing.

Game changing for my workflow
I like to shoot with lens setting as wide opened. I like to shoot with low angles to exaggerate the poses of a model. A few year ago, with my Canon 5D mark IV, I typically kneed down or lied on the floor using optical view finder to take the shot. I like to shoot movements, I have to use the back-bottom focus because of the focus system cannot keep up. With my Sony A7RIII, I relied on the back screen using eye-focus and moving the focus point to ... Show More

Now-More-Versatile High-Megapixel Powerhouse
This camera does what I need it to do: provides me with much better cropability when I need it that does not visibly degrade the image, and gives me better auto-focus & tracking capabilities than the A7R3t, all while providing me with better ergonomics. I can understand power-users' complaints of buffering issues, but hey, 61MP will DO that. As an average user, I am more than satisfied with this new evolution. While many will nit-pick this camera to death, remember that the perfect is the enemy of the VERY ,VERY GOOD.

Sony's BEST yet!
So many times with other Sony cameras the exposures were blown out as I had not noticed that the compensation dial on a corner of the camera had moved unintentionally. Sony has fixed this with a lock on the knob. Great news! Everything about this camera is an upgrade and of course 61 beautiful megapixels and excellent vibrant color! I love it.

the best camera ever
I love the feel and photos are outstanding. The only negative is why doesn't the monitor screen fold all the way up. Is the professional not supposed to take selfies?

The best camera I have owned
I am mostly into shooting landscapes and still lives. The large file she makes the camera less ideal for sports/action, but not too bad really even for that. I shoot raw and the files can be processed in Lightroom, Capture One, Sony's own software and others. The button location and weather sealing is said to be improved. Seems solid to me. Dual card slots. The menus take some adjustment to but they are gradually being improved. The focusing is amazing.

Great improvement
Much better than the a7riii. EVF is awesome, ergonomics are great and focus tracking adds to the package. Try it, youll love it.

Makes Me Look Like I Know What I Am Doing
Short review cliff notes :- 1. Was a Canon bigot - RebelG-5DMkII and all between 2. Camera wasn't easy to master and glass+ camera big/heavy 3. Bought a Nex5n as travel camera and loved it 4. Upgraded to A6300 and totally loved it 5. Wanted to do more and out comes the A7RIV 6. Love the crop capacity 7. Like wildlife and landscape so this handles both well (shutter + 60+MP) 8. stunned by AI lock on 9. stunned by crisp images 10. can imagine an ... Show More

Greater than expected
This camera has definitely given me back my photographic spark. The image quality is superb and the build is excellent. I am still getting use to it in studio because it is a little slow on the firing but I only did one shoot so I will see if I just get use to it. Other than that I think I am going to be a Sony fan for a while.

Coming from Canon 5D IV
I just switched to the Sony system given that the Sony bodies are multiple generations ahead of Canon at this point. The Sony glass has finally gotten to a point where it's a usable ecosystem as well. I am amazed at the results that IBIS and the increased dynamic range from the A7R IV produce vs my 5D IV. I can expose for the highlights and boost the shadows for DAYS before they start to look unnatural. The menu system is a little clunky but I fe... Show More

Best Camera Ever!
This is my 3rd Sony A7xxx camera, and it is the best I have ever used. I keep finding more and more fun features.

I own the Sony 7riv and 7riii and other Sony cameras
The 7riv is a great camera. If you already own the 7riii. I can't find any reason to buy the 7riv. Unless $3500. is burning a hole in your pocket. If I had this to do over, I would wait for the next upgrade to come out. In printing 17x25 can't see any improvement in detail. In shooting with the 7riv, the buffering with long exposers is slow going!!! Thanks

Focusing, not pixel count, is the real breakthrough
After using both Nikons and Canons I switched to Sony to lose weight while hiking. This is my 4th Sony A7r and each improved on the previous model. (the first was primitive). While having a lot of pixels is great when cropping is desired, the big change is with the autofocus. The people or animal eye focus is amazing. But, the tracking-expand flexible spot is a game changer. The camera is new in my hands, but so far the flexible spot sticks to th... Show More

Sony knocks it out of the park (again)!
I was delighted with II, thrilled with III, and astounded with Mark IV. No complaints of any kind, even with the menu system (which is customizable for special needs). Yes, you need big, fast SD cards and a fast computer to process the large files. A point with respect to specs: the published px count is 9504 x 6336 = 60.2 Mpx, which is what you get when shooting jpg. Shooting ARW (raw) gives you files that are 9600 x 6376 = 61.2 Mpx. The 16-frame pixel-shift feature yields files that are 4 times larger and resolution that is unprecedented in a camera of this size and price.

Wow! Just in time for Fall Foliage!
Upgrading from A7R ii to A7R iv has been a delight. See the camera's remarkable reviews for the details. One landscape photographer's personal highlights: Focusing - perfect flower close ups. Usability - quite a noticeable improvement, especially when shooting in the field. Cropping - 61 MP = *great* workflow. Color - rendering on MBP/LG Ultrafine display is an inspiration. The much reported downsides: menus & touch screen. Attached *snapshot*, taken Sony's FE4/24-105 G lens, highlights focus, color, bokeh.

Amazing
I upgraded from an A7R iii. This is worth the upgrade. Many features to like. One that I havent seen is that the shutter is silky smooth like a Ferrari. All these photo capabilities in a smaller lightweight package.

More than the sum of its parts
Ignore the detractors who whine about no one needing a camera with 61MP. The A7R IV is likely the best camera at the price available today. The R IV exhibits outstanding resolving power when matched with GM glass and the ergonomics are significantly improved over the R III. The killer feature for me though is the 29MP APS C crop mode. Ive set custom button C1 to toggle crop on and off. My 135mm 1.8 GM becomes a 200mm 1.8 instantly without taking my eye from the viewfinder. All in all the R IV is more than the sum of its parts and fully justifies the price of entry.

Its a Beast!
Preordered. Received mine on Friday the 13th. I am still adjusting to the camera but I can give my initial thoughts. First off its definitely a big improvement over the A7R3. Not life changing but since I have owned the two A7Rs prior to this I can say its the best to date period. Sony listens to the photographers and makes the upgrades. They didnt chose to upgrade everything requested but they definitely put some thought into what they did upgra... Show More

Fantastic if you can get it
Absolutely love the camera for the megapixels, auto focus and tracking. Was not happy with B&H shipping and in fact the only reason I have this camera is that Sony intervened and had B&H ship me a unit.

Astounding resolution at this price range
Traded up from my A7Riii and have to say after having it now for 4 days.. its a very worthy update even though my now used A7Riii will soon be in the hands of someone at a heavy discount. Resolution with Sony GM glass and especially the 24mm 1.4 GM and the 135 GM is astounding.. ergonomics and even something as small as the sound of the new shutter are highly welcome. The autofocus is so fast and the tracking is so good (yes slightly slower than ... Show More

First shots out of the box
Just received my new Sony A7Riv today and fired it up. Shot a photo of a Princess flower, then cropped it to one sixth of the area. The result was just what I hoped. No loss of sharpness. I used a Sony FE 1.8/55mm lens

Worth the wait and the hype.
I had placed myself on the wait list months ago and was fortunate enough to be able pick one up last Friday. The IV has an improved control layout and even the sound of the shutter release make this a massive upgrade to the Sony Alpha AR7 IV. Out of the box and with a non- G lens the camera produced amazingly crisp and large and images. Menus and UI also seem faster, quick startup and expanded image buffer. Wonderful focus options, in the same ... Show More
