There's a few rumors saying Sony will launch the A7V next year so if you already have A7 III I'd also recommend to wait a few more months to make a decision.

Thank you for this clarification, Lila! Your videos are so clear and fun to watch, thank you!

[dvcreel]

thank you so much for commenting on the specs - battery life and overheating. I was ready to jump on the black friday sale price on the a73, but you calmed my excitement down - TY Great video.

[AutumnHathaway]

Your camera recommendations always provide so much great information Lila ✨✌️

I would love to get my hands on the A7IV, but my A7III is still doing a great job. Instead, I am slowly saving up for the A7V when it arrives :)

Thank you so much Lila for the helpful comparative review! God bless and good luck!

[tdyson]

Very helpful comparison review! It answered all my questions and concerns. Thank you! 😊

[bradpaulp]

those opening titles behind the camera were so subtle but so well done. good job. :)

I think the 30 minute recording cutoff was because of an EU tax that defined a camcorder as anything that records longer than 30 minutes. Has that changed now?

[BlumsteinPiano]

Thank you! I’m going into the creator world and I’m trying to understand why not using an iPhone 😳 I do have the budget for a great camera but I’m not sure what is the advantages of have to carry another camera rather than my phone. Thanks!

Pair the A7IV with the 70-200 GM and I think it’ll be perfect for backcountry snowmobiling content!

[Joe.In.Germany]

Hi, which lenses was it in the video? Thank you in advance!

A7iv makes more sense, I've shot myself in the leg in the past with the temperature issues. I had to make excuses and stall the shoot so my stupid camera can cool off. Now I have the BMPCC 6k, but I need to replace my A7rii with A7iv, mainly because of Sony's awesome autofocus. Any recommendations on the best autofocus cameras?

[GatmanVidz]

The improvements in auto focus in video are also quite big. especially if you are filming yourself

[kevinbraganza]

Compelling review with all great points! Keep em coming! 🙌

[tylerthecreative]

Honest question here.. have you undergone any over heating issues with your A7IV in either photo or video mode? I been hearing plenty mixed reviews about overheating and auto shut off. Great video btw! Very helpful

[eRwn]

What a great video. Did handheld video with my a73 and it was shaky. Did image stabilization in post and it cropped my video too much. Was going to upgrade more for IBIS. Doesn’t sound like a major improvement there. Will stick to my a73 for now. Thanks!

[weeklycreep]

Ugh I’m desperately wanting to upgrade to the a7iv but it’s not the most fiscally sensible thing for me rn. I think I was hoping you’d say it sucked 😅

[samrusyoga]

Lila, I’m looking to upgrade my camera for my yoga youtube channel. I want higher quality video, is there a camera you’d recommend?

[hufman]

I could make you look so good. Reflector/flag blocking the magenta lights from hitting your face. Larger keylight off to the side with more diffusion and a polarizer to remove the shine
