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.

Incredible for sports, wildlife, macro.
If you are a sports and/or wildlife shooter, attach a 100-400GM and prepare to be amazed by the detail in your images. Punching into APS-C mode (still a 26MP file) gives you an effective 150-600 mm lens. The Sony 90mm f/2.8 macro also pairs beautifully with this body. I prefer the 24 MP a7iii or a9 for portraits, street, landscape, etc. as the files are so much smaller and, for my needs at least, the additional resolution of the a7iv is necessary (you, of course, may love the extra resolution in these genres as well.

Great update
As an owner of Sony mirrorless cameras since their inception, the A7R Iv is a real game changer. For me, it serves all of my needs. I shoot both landscape as well as wildlife. Image quality is excellent. Great for beautiful landscapes Resolving power is superb.. The ergonomics are better than my previous nex 7, A7, and A7Rii. Autofocus is better and more responsive. Love the crop lense feature at 26 megapixels. Nice for bird and wildlife. Eye focus works well. Build quality is overall improved from previous models.

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.

Updated from A7III and it's great
I watched this camera for a while and when it's on EDU discount, I ordered it with no hesitation. This is an update from my old A7III. I mostly shoot landscape, so this definitely worth it. You do need to purchase more USH II card if you come from A7III and they are not cheap, also you will feel some of the lens are no longer sharp enough for the high res. Basically, if you buy this, you will spend a lot of more money than the camera body. I would say think twice before you make the order.

WOW! World of difference.
I am not the photographer. My wife is. We are not experts. This thing makes me feel like I could accomplish greatness. I bought this for my wife, she is in love with it. It replaced her decade old Canon 7D DSLR. When she shows it to her Photog friends they immediately are smitten. Auto focus is amazing and I say that knowing AF is a blaspheme in the industry. But Hey, I am a tech guy not a photog. Spent more on this than anything ever and have no regrets. WOW! Tech Hubby of a Photog.

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.

Terrific Camera
I am a former A7R2 owner and traded it vs the purchase of the A7R4. So glad I did not step up to the R3 and waited on the R4. I really appreciate the upgrade to the SD card capability. The ergonomics of the camera is much improved. 61 mp is a fabulous. Havent tried pixel shift. I bought the vertical grip which adds a noticeable amount of weight with the two batteries. Just an all around stellar camera. Very happy with the purchase.

That kit exactly what I need it, Sony a7riv - amazing camera. Sony memory card is fast and so far no issues at all just a bit small, but no complains, haha the tripod, Sony edition it is the perfect match for that camera, last but not least the camera bag is very beautiful and with style, so far several fellows photographers asked me where is it from, where they can buy it? hahah BH, guys! Very happy with that purchase!!!

Very happy customer
I had the a7RII for almost 4 years and it was just starting to feel a little slow - particularly when tethering in the studio. All the updates I wanted are here. The biggest things for me are wireless tethering, the two UHS-II card slots and the immense speed/focus capabilities. I love the new body and am very very happy. The a7RII will now be my backup body, keeping it in the family (which feels pretty awesome tbh)!

Wanted to love it
To bad this camera doesn't live up to all Sony 's marketing hype . I worked hard learning how to use this camera but in the end i didn't think it was worth $3500 .The auto tracking did lock on reliably as well as the metering was at time over exposed due to back even with the small spot . Perhaps i just got a bad copy but anyways B and H were great about allowing me to return it for a full refund.

remove the strap eyelet
Sony needs to re-evaluate the camera strap eyelet. Unfortunately the right camera strap eyelet is constantly getting in the way when you are using the camera. It also becomes a problem when trying to put on a hand strap as its placement and design makes getting to all the control difficult. An in-body attachment point similar to Canon such be adopted.. Other than this - Amazing camera

Difficult AF
As a former A7III owner, I wanted to step up in resolution. After using this camera for a little over a week, Im a little disappointed. The AF hunts even with the exposure set correctly, in what I would consider normal contrast conditions. The A7III never had these problem. Other than that, a solid camera. The kit is exactly as advertised. Easy to setup and use.

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

Best camera on the market
I have really found this camera is 2 in 1, a great landscape general purpose camera, and in crop mode a killer 27 megapixel birding camera. EVF is amazing and light years ahead of my old A7R2. The fit and feel is better and the Z battery is unstoppable. One caveat is USE GOOD GLASS, any imperfections in cheaper glass will be very evident in your images

Wow!!!
I have been using a very old Canon 60D for the last 7 years. Finally decided to move on to a full frame. Got this on a deal @2499$ and boy o boy. This camera blew off my mind. Tack sharp images. Fast Autofocus and plenty of megapixels to crop. I am not a professional and its just a hobby. I don't regret buying this camera. Awesome camera. Kudos Sony!!!

Fantastic camera!
I recently made the switch from Canon to Sony. I am delighted with the results from shooting this camera. I am still learning this complex piece of gear but produced great images right away. I love the fact that it is almost the same body as the a9II, with controls in the same places and using the same accessories - cards, batteries, vertical grip.

Outstanding in every way
I am totally happy with the Sony a7r4. I shoot a lot of small birds and landscapes and the 61 megapixel sensor allows me to crop and still have great detail in the images. I love being able set multiple custom keys to facilitate the way I shoot. And the improved ergonomics and weather sealing are a definite plus. I highly recommend this camera.

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.

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.

Brilliant
From the newly designed body to the crisp focus menu, this camera is everything I expected. Buttons are larger, which I appreciate having that for confident feel when navigating control. Picture quality is as expected. I can crop on an action shot and print without worry of any loss of substance. Truly worth the wait.

Solid redesign of a top-shelf camera
There are a lot of megapixels crammed into this little camera, but there isn't much sacrifice involved. I haven't had a chance to make video with it yet, but the body physical redesign with weather seals and more robust feel are very welcome. I'm looking forward to spending more time with it, but very satisfied so far.

From Canon to Sony
At first, I wasn't sure if I should switch from Canon 5Dmk IV to Sony. But not a second of the regret. It is a great camera with a crispy quality. It is a little confusing and frustrating to learn how to deal with a lot of settings in the beginning but afterward, you get used to the settings and enjoying the images.

My first big purchase
This is my first mirrorless camera. I bought it with the sony 20mm 1.8 and the quality of the pictures are outstanding. Couldnt be happier with this purchase. The build quality is great. It doesnt feel plasticky like my 2 canon DSLRs (rebels). I chose the a7Riv over the a9 and I have zero regrets.
