I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the A7IV. You can completely disable that screen sensor. I map C1 to monitor/viewfinder toggle. The crop is a physical limitation on the sensor readout. It simply can’t read the full frame fast enough. The truth is, we all know what we buy when we buy it. It is nice to want, but the reality is, we need to accept the capabilities when we buy it and not look back. It makes life much better. You just have less to care about that doesn’t really matter. Anyway, always enjoyed your 2 channels. Keep going!

Great review. I love my A7iv and the great selection of lenses!

One of the most comprehensive reviews I've seen. As an owner of an FX6 who's looking to get an all-in-one small factor camera for mostly photos + videos on the side as a B cam, this was super helpful (as I was still considering the A7III). Will be getting the IV. Thank you!

Great overview of the pros/cons. Just switched from Canon APS-C to Sony FF (Sony A7IV) and I’m in love.

[seanriley]

I absolutely loved you immediately disclosed which camera you were filming with as you held the A7 IV. Which by the way also looks really great for YouTube content :)

That’s my dream camera, need to save up for one this year. Amazing video as usual!

Thank you So much, This video was greatly helpful for me to make a decision on this camera. I have a small YouTube channel and have been shooting on iPhone. I am in for an upgrade and looking out for this camera and needed to see a video which is comprehensive enough to help me make a call. Thanks again, Subscribed 🙏 Also if you could let me know whether buying this is 2024 makes sense? or any other camera you would suggest(more of video shoot less of photography)? Thanks in advance.

I have this camera, but the rolling shutter bothers me. What do you think about Canon R6 II? It has a faster sensor, which should help with this issue.

[zach_blackburn]

Damn. I just discovered this channel. You're an incredibly talented dude, forreal!!! Keep up the great work. When do you sleep?

Hi, , good video, , i want this camera, but readed that some units has overheating issues...do you know something about that, , thanks

For the monitor to turn off when you bring it close issue, does the camera have the option to change "FINDER/MONITOR" to Manual like the A7III ?

[NicholasPaulFranks]

mate, thank you. Would you stick with the 7IV or switch to the C2?

I own the a7iv I think at the very least they could reduce the 4K 60 crop to like 1.2x 1.3x or 1.4x instead of 1.5x they did a smaller crop for the a7rv so I don’t see why they couldn’t reduce on the a7iv it’s the very least they could do to help them and there customers or maybe remove or make a mark 2 I reckon if we work together they will have to listen and make a change and with your large platform and influence would really help if you could spread the idea around thx

i selected that camera mainly for the lens selection because there are many 3rd party lenses that works very well with it and there is the Tamron 35-150 f2-2.8 which is the best event lens i ever owned.

the flip screen is a big plus and i start enjoying doing video with it, i was very much a photo guy.
I don't like the battery door, it should be self locking. I miss focus stacking, and some functions that i had on magic lantern like motion detection for birding.
The rolling shutter isn't that great and i would have liked a automatic anti flickering for shooting silent indoor.

Does the manual settings vary between photo and video or is it static when switching between modes?

@Colt Capperrune Tech Hi I bought a used a7 iv for 2100 with the 24-70 kit lense? I have enought money to squeeze out one more lense, to replace the kit. I want something for hybrid travel work . What do you suggest?

[uphighnz]

Quick question, now that the apsc A6700 is out, would you consider it? Scratching my head in terms of choosing either the A7iv or the A6700, tough decision. Any thoughts also on the Sigma 24/70mm 2.8?

[ryanchong]

A comparison between the APS-C would be great.

[thenordenviking]

i bought the a7iv today wonder if the 3.0 update changed anything important ? or is it same old same old
