I moved form an a7r2 to a a73 last week. I've been using the a7r2 for 3 years and now my workflow is faster thank to the ergonomics the a73 has. A faster camera, really good image and video quiality and a fast autofocus and tracking system. Even though is a camera from 2018, I'm happy with it, for my budget it is the right choice. If you don't have a fullframe sony camera, I recommend you the a73 to start nowdays, is worth it for the price now.

Great video! Thoroughly covered the main differences yet remained concise. Especially loved that you reached a definitive conclusion. Far too many "Should you..." videos on YouTube that end with noncommittal endings. Great job!

Watched lots of videos on the iv trying to make my mind up and yours was so helpful, many thanks - Richard

Mark, I’d love to see a video on your photography journey. From your first camera, to a hobby, to a profession etc. It would be great seeing your profession over the years!

What an awesome camera, BTW love your YouTube. I have just upgraded to the A7iv and pre ordered the new 24-70 GMii. I also traded in at the same Wex store to the same guy you were talking with. They gave me a great price for my 4 year old 24-70GM.

Can the Sony a7IV film 4:3 4k for long periods of time?...
I currently have the GH5, might upgrade to the sony next year...
gh5 good although would prefair 4:3 on 4k 30/25fp3 for ticktok 9:16 & youtube 16:9,
Awesome video :)

man I might trade in my a7iii as well. been looking at the mark iv ever since they released it. looks like the perfect mix of photo and video capabilities!

Brilliant video. Excellently articulated whilst covering everything needed to know! Been debating between this and a few others and you’ve sold me. Subscriber gained too, keep up the great work!

I upgraded from the A7iii to the A7iv and haven’t regretted it for a second.

Is the rolling shutter causing the weird jiggling effect when the video is stabilized? It looks like the entire background is unstable...

Great video, Thank You! That brick background ROCKS!!!

[pchatterjee]

Awesome video as always! You are on your journey to be one of the best YouTubers out there. Keep it up.

Thanks for the video, was that wobbling @8:20 normal? I have an FX3 and A7riii and am debating selling the riii and getting an A7IV. Thanks

I am currently using Canon 600D. I have tried Nikon from friends and family but I don't find it comfortable as Canon. After watching your videos on Sony cameras, I am getting inclined to buy Sony. Hopefully pretty soon

I do photo/video and tbh, the a7iii is still plenty capable. Clients are ok with 1080 60, you can use the fake s-cinetone if working with other videographers, photo fps is better with the a7iii, plus you can grab a decent used a7iii for like 1200. Thats a 1400 difference if you're getting the a7iv.

For that you can get a decent light kit. (Aputure ls 60x)
Get another a7iii, or
Get a decent lens.

Great video, very useful indeed. I think it confirms my choice for Sony A7 IV instead of Canon R6. Great picture at 1:05 👍👍👍

Welcome in the Sony A7 IV Team. Its an absolutly fantastic Camera. I trade my A7 III and the 24-105/f4 to get my A7 IV.

[ebowden]

Thanks for a great video. I picked up my A7IV a week ago and love it! Simply amazing!

[RawkustvOfficial]

I drive past the east London wex every Sat and sun. Currently saving up for the a7 iv, can’t wait to get mine 😎

Was that fast continuous shot at 2:37 jpeg+ uncompress or compressed raw? Because i heard it slows down if raw is set to uncompressed raw
