FROPACK3 is HERE with 15 all-new custom Lightroom presets!!! Check it out

This is a Hands-On Preview of the Sony a7 IV. We had a pre-production Sony a7 IV for a few weeks to test out. I wanted to run it through it's paces, put it against the Canon R6 and see if it's a mini Sony a1, or just a solid upgrade to the Sony a7 III. This is NOT A REVIEW, you can not fully review a pre-production camera, as the firmware is not final.

Remember, this is a pREVIEW since the camera has pre-production firmware on it. It would be misleading to call it a review as you can't and shouldn't be calling pre-production cameras reviews.

100 years from now, Sony will be making gigapixel bodies that can shoot at a million frames per second, and track a mosquitoes eyelash, but it'll still come with a recycled Gameboy Color lcd...

I viewed the video in it’s entirety. I just placed an order for this camera after renting out the a7iii a couple of times. It is my dream camera and I cannot wait to further my skills with this gear! Wishing prosperity and good fortune to all who are starting out their professional career like myself.

I ordered the A7IV as a 2nd body to go with my A1 - the reasoning behind this was the same processor and menu system, as well as the same body. It's like the A1s little brother, bringing in the brain of the A1 to a cheaper body. I can set it up the same way, it feels the same, and has the same tracking tech. Perfect for this situation.

hey, im not sure if you have already done this, but it think a cool video idea would be to compare the uncompressed and compressed versions of sony’s raw files. this would help people decide whether or not they would like to use the full fps on their cameras

Yeah yeah Jared. We get it, you don't like the Nikon Z6 ii. That's cool and all. But advicing people not to buy it is going a bit too far. The Nikon Z6 ii + 24-70 F4 kit lens could be bought for around 2100 euro on this side of the pond. And this new Sony is priced at 2800 euro. That's a BIG difference. If you would add the Sony Vario-Tessar T* FE 24-70 mm F4 ZA OSS lens, that would be around 3500 euro combined with the body. That's a frikkin 1400 euro difference. No issue for professionals, but for the enthusiasts that's serious money. Are those features worth the difference to someone? Probably. But in the hands of professionals the Canon R6, Sony A7 iV and yes the Nikon Z6 ii are more than capable camera's. AND I think it would be VERY hard to spot the differences in the end results created buy those camera's.

Shoot wide open with higher ISO and lowest possible shutter speed - there is your guide to shooting in low light...

From all “launch” reviews, this one was the best one, you actually showed photos, problems, comparison with R6. Well done 👍

Made it to the end. This is the camera that’s making me seriously consider selling my Canon 80D kit and starting over with Sony. I’ve been thinking R6 for a while now, but RF glass, however good, is punishingly expensive and I only have a few cheaper full frame lenses I could even adapt. So either way I’m starting over, and I think the A74 might be the one to make me pull the trigger.

👍🏼 just in case my thumbs up to the video wasn’t enough to know I made it to the end of the video lol.
Great video, I’m running the R6 and appreciated the comparison. It won’t change anything for me because I still love my R6 and it suits my needs but just interesting to know what’s out there.

Wedding photographer here… I am buying that camera I’ve been doing pictures and videos with my DSLR‘s and it’s turning out great… Happy customers happy clients happy couples that’s what I want. This camera is going to be a game changer for me not missing the focus on the video and pictures is what I’m looking for, I don’t think the compressed raw will be a problem for my photos. Also the 33 megapixel sensor it’s kind of nice! Thank you Jared… for the great preview video! I was hoping that everyone will start shipping soon but I guess we’ll wait for beginning of January.

My biggest problem with the Sony cameras were ergonomics no flip screen, and no touch screen and they FIXED ALL of those issues after I buy the R5!! DAMN..Iight just get one anyways as a secondary body and sell my EOS R..because I hate it..honestly as a photographer...the Canon R5 is a BEAST!! I love this camera so Mucha snap have zero complaints. I don't hybrid at the moment or do video. I used to have a YouTube firearm channel and it was going well but legal issues made me stop. So I took my YouTube camera and used to to start taking taking photos ans was hooked. Now 2 years later and thousands of hours of classes and tutorials with tons of practice I'm on par with the pros...it's all about dedication

Another great video Jared. The real time eye AF, evf, and ergonomics are tempting to upgrade from my a7iii, but I think I'll wait a bit for a sale as I still get fantastic results with the a7iii. Can't wait to watch your real world review

Love that 14 mm close up shot, with him putting his face horizontally to fill up the frame! Great composition!

I am impressed by how many improvements there are in here. I have an A7iii as a backup body/2nd angle camera and this might be worth buying as a replacement.
One thing I was hoping you’d touch on, the A7iii was renown for having great performance in low light, does this have similar great performance?
That was really the only question I wanted to know more about. Great preview nonetheless.

I've always wanted an A7, since the II. Someday I'll get one. It doesn't really fit my line of work at this stage, but when the budget allows I can add it on. Thanks for a great review.

These people on the phone in a hockey game! Unbelievable! I would like to see comparison with Canon R6 in low light.

Great video once again. Very cool camera also. The A7 series is definitely on my list to buy whenever I need a new camera in this category. Thanks Jared!

Only got 11 minutes into the preview and stopped it as I saw enough to turn me off from buying the A74. I am eventually selling my Z6 and Z7 and Nikon lenses and was debating on between Sony and Canon. Seeing this preview made my mind up and going to Canon for the R5 and R6

I wanna say thank you Jared and everyone who made this video. Always liked how you guys present these topics. I have been here for some years and I love the consistency of quality and style. Not to mention the improvments. Keep up the good work! :)
