The Sony a7 IV is here, and it brings with it a bevy of improvements and new features that continue to make it one of the most compelling do-it-all cameras out there. This excellent video review takes a look at the camera and the kind of performance and quality you can expect from it in practice.
Coming to you from Jason Vong, this great video review takes a look at the Sony a7 IV mirrorless camera. The a7 IV has a variety of new features and updated capabilities, including:
- 33-megapixel backside-illuminated sensor
- 3.69-million-dot viewfinder
- Fully articulating rear touchscreen
- Over 15 stops of dynamic range
- 5.5 stops of in-body image stabilization
- Improved autofocus with real-time object tracking and human and animal eye autofocus in both photos and video
- Improved menu system
- Focus Breathing Compensation
- Full frame 4K 30p video
- S-Cinetone and S-Log3 with up to 15 stops of dynamic range and 10-bit 4:2:2
- 4K 60p video in Super 35
- 828-shot buffer
Altogether, it looks like the a7 IV is a worthwhile upgrade from the highly respected a7 III that should be able to tackle a wide variety of scenarios on both the photo and video sides of things. Check out the video above for Vong's full thoughts on the camera.
How does the A4 work with the older minolta glass in combo with the La-ea5? That's something that matters to a lot of us - Minolta glass shooters... It'd be my only reason to upgrade.
My friend is a devoted Sony FF fan because he loves it with old, manual Pentax (as well as other brands) lenses. Adapters are inexpensive and plentiful.
I have used my old Minolta glass on my Sony A7 series cameras with no issues. However, you will need to manually adjust distortion (if present). Plus, the new sensors will show any weaknesses of old glass and can look a little softer compared to modern lenses.
1/15s readout speed and 5 fps lossless uncompressed raw doesn't sound like too much in 2021?
Have to protect the higher end bodies lol
when the cameras are actually available for purchase, their predecessor, the a7iii should drop by at least 300 bucks, leaving the iv priced 50 percent higher.
the then question is - are the marginal benefits worth that large a differential
