Hard to improve on the A7rM3; but the M4 does it!!
I've had this camera for several months, and am still getting used to all of its advantages. It appears that the color accuracy is also modestly improved. For me, the ergonomics, better continuous tracking and the flexibility offered by larger file size are the main improvements. I find this camera is well suited for wildlife photography as well as for landscapes, and sold both my A7rM3 and A9. So, now I have one go-to camera for everything I pho... Show More

STEEP learning curve for me !
Firstly I want to say this camera is absolutely epic and the results can be also. With enthusiasm I bought it and upgraded from a A series.. I didnt realize what a leap it was until I tried tracking wildlife and sorting through the plethora of options and hundreds of dud shots ! 1 week in I thought I had made a massive mistake, 2 weeks in and I thought the equipment was faulty/incompatible.. 4 weeks in and many many test shots, seeking advice a...

Polished powerhouse
I have gone through A7R, RII, RIII and just upgraded to the RIV. To get the most out of this particular model, the lenses you plan to use on it are very important. I have been using the Sigma 35mm 1.2 Art and am blown away by the amount of details this combination produces. Bigger grip is a much welcomed addition along with the slightly larger body, the camera feels much more balanced. The autofocus on this thing is absolutely amazing, the RIII w... Show More

Amazingly sharp
If youre like me, you buy when the price is right, I bought this kit solely for the A7R IV and sold the Atomos to bring the overall cost of the A7R IV down. With the right glass and focusing, nothing compares. Extremely sharp, did some long exposure shots of the sunrise with my summit polar pro system matched with my new Sony A7R IV and Im stunned by both products, highest of quality.

A joy to use
I upgraded from the A7R2 for usage in my studio work. I will acknowledge that I had sharp images with the R2. Nonetheless, the R4 has been a joy to use in many ways. Auto focusing now is almost 100% dead on, with relatively few soft shots. And I can tell the camera which cornea to choose. Second, the level of detail in skin and fabric is subtlety but definitely better. No matter how much I crop the shot in post, I can really appreciate the finer ... Show More

The resolution jump is valuable for landscapes
I actually held off upgrading my original A7R until this model came out. The previous jump from 36mp to 42mp wasn't quite enough more me to justify, as I mainly do landscapes. Now that I have the A7R4, I also am enjoying the other features. Animal eye-AF is amazing for my foster dogs, the shutter is amazingly well damped, and the overall handling is better than any previous DSLRs I've used in the past 12-15 yrs. There is always a lot of fuss mad... Show More

Remember F5.6 or better lenses
This is really a great camera. There are a few quirks that will hopefully be improved when Sony does its expected Firmware upgrade but it works great when you get it going. The quality of the photo's will blow you away. Its important to understand though that the diffraction limit of this camera, due to its 61MP FF sensor means that you really need to shoot quality glass that is F5.6 or better for Color, and about F8 for B&W. Of course you can us... Show More

Love this toy
Im not a professional photographer. I play with cameras/lenses for fun, dont take pictures for a living, and price is not a concern to me. I purchase this camera to enjoy two things: 1. Highest resolution and highest dynamic range. 2. Best auto focus. For #1, I pair this camera with Voigtlander APO-LANTHAR 50mm f/2. This combination produces the sharpest images with astonishing amount of details. Better than any other full frame cameras/lense... Show More

Extremely Versatile
Prior to this A7R IV, I had the A6500 and the A7RII. I was very happy with both cameras, so I was a bit reluctant to make the upgrade. I am so happy I did. Others have commented about focus, eye recognition, sharpness, etc., and I also give high marks to all features of this camera. The one thing you may not think about is using this powerful camera in APS-C mode. Shooting in APS-C mode on the A7RIV only drops the megapixel count to 26.2 MP which... Show More

Excellent in everything
I shoot portraits, night sky, wildlife, architectures and streets. With the help of corresponding lenses, A7R4 can have excellent performance in almost every topics. Good feeling when holding. My first camera was in sony a7 series so I'm pretty accustomed to sony's menu. I was a little bit worried about its high-iso performance before purchase, but now I find it's good enough. Therefore, I believe the next year's a7m4 will show a even better high... Show More

Insane resolution
This camera has insane resolution (with good lenses). Just an example - if you crop 6MP out of the frame you still get very good picture and effectively extends a range of your telephoto by factor of 3. But it is not all that you get with this camera. Because both slots are UHS-II you can setup one for JPG and other for RAW and it allows you shoot medium or small on JPG but still get what I call negative or full resolution RAW. This way you can s... Show More

Outstanding camera in small package
I love the Sony A7RIV system for its outstanding performance as well as its small size. This camera is well suited for almost any type of photography. This is clearly the system I take with me on my travels because there are so many lens options, I can fit into my carry on baggage. There are so many small sized wide to mid tele manual focus prime lenses that I own that are now offered in the E mount or for which there are appropriate adapters. Ma... Show More

Great images, top tech
Just got my A7r4 and A9ii .. I love both but the image quality of the a7r4 is top notch. If your a portrait or landscape photographer this camera is a must have. It has all the features of a great Sports and wildlife camera as well. In a couple years every camera will be just like the a7R4 . The only thing that could possibly be better is it could be a tad bit bigger .. but thats probably because Ive been lugging around a 1dx ii for a couple years . Honestly I loved canon for so long but I am kicking myself for not switching soon. Canon cameras are like a Apple 2e and Sony is the MacBook Pro .

Amazing
This is my first Sony camera after making the switch from Nikon this year. I preordered the camera and was not disappointed. B&H provides regular updates and shipped fast as soon as it released. Phenomenal customer service as always. I received the camera a few weeks ago and could not be more happy. The image quality is absolutely stunning and I was amazed at the features and customization this camera has built in. I definitely see myself staying with Sony for the foreseeable future no and picked up their Gmaster lenses. If youre on the fence, I would definitely take recommend this camera.

Nearly perfect
I actually wanted to give the camera 4 1/2 stars but that was not an option. The camera takes amazing pictures and has been improved over the a7r iii in several major respects. My only criticism is that they still have not improved the menu system much. It is way to long, complicated and confusing. Once you get through it, however, this is an amazing instrument. The tracking focus works very well as does the eye focus. In most cases the focus speed is nearly instantaneous. The photos are astonishing...like medium format detail and depth. Battery life improved too. Highly recommended!

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.

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.

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.
