Is This the Best Hybrid Camera Available Today?

Modern cameras are remarkably capable machines, and you can now find a good option for just about every budget range. With an increasing emphasis on the ability to do both photo and video work, hybrid cameras have become increasingly important. The Sony a7 IV is one of the most well regarded options out there, and this great video review takes a look at if it really offers the best combination of image quality, performance, and cost in a crowded and competitive space. 

Coming to you from Jason Morris, this excellent video review takes a look at the Sony a7 IV mirrorless camera. The a7 IV is an impressively well-balanced camera, with a range of features, such as:

  • 33-megapixel backside-illuminated sensor
  • Improved menu system
  • 4K 30p video using the full width of the sensor and 4K 60p in Super 35 mode
  • S-Cinetone and S-Log3 with up to 15 stops of dynamic range and 10-bit 4:2:2
  • Built-in compensation for focus breathing
  • In-body image stabilization with up to 5.5 stops of compensation
  • Real-time object tracking autofocus
  • Human and animal eye autofocus for use in both photo and video modes
  • Fully articulating rear touchscreen
  • 3.69-million-dot electronic viewfinder
  • 828-image buffer

Altogether, the a7 IV looks like another impressive entry in Sony's highly respected a7 series and one that should satisfy the needs of most creatives. Check out the video above for Morris' full thoughts on the camera.
