Pros: Programmability, ergonomic controls, improved display and viewfinder, Bracket focus, Exposure settings management etc. etc.

Cons: If you are afraid of breaking it, the totally articulated display The menu in Italian with deceptive abbreviations. I haven't found HDR yet, unless it's included in the DRO.

Opinion: I studied it for a week, I wrote down a paper diagram to program it, (where I realized that the translation into Italian had to be done by an Italian technician). Then I started using it and I found myself taking excellent shots where the PProd. it was almost unnecessary. Compared to the M3, from which I come, there is a lot of difference, for the better, on all fronts. It therefore deserves a higher price than the M3 and since it is now depreciated due to the exit of the M5, with a few installments even a pensioner like me was able to buy it. I did some excellent Focus Stacking where I recognized the precision and reliability as well as the pitch metric where at f8 it makes about 1mm per shot so that you can perfectly calculate how many shots to set to cover the depth of the subject. ISO galore with an excellent Noise reducer that allowed me not to notice that I was shooting in f4. Excellent viewfinder for those who wear glasses like me. The menu is divided into sections where it is quite easy to find the item you were looking for. It consumes a little more battery but I just had to lower the display light to find myself at acceptable consumption (when possible). In short, given the 1650€ I paid for it and that RCE sent me an almost new one (600 shots, untouched) I'm very happy. In addition, you can lower the curtain when turning off to change the lens and protect the sensor (33Mp, neither a few nor many.

Pros: Very workable file, excellent autofocus, top machine customization

Cons: fun factor, low resolution display, articulating display, viewfinder can be improved

Opinion: I bought the Sony A7 IV in November 2022, so after more than two years of use I think it's time to take stock. I have used it in practically all photographic genres, except for birdlife, and also for videos, especially during travels and holidays. I start with the so-called "defects", if they can be defined as such. I come from an A7 III, so the generational leap has been felt. The change has taken place mainly for the electronic viewfinder and the display. The EVF has improved significantly, while the display remains one of the weak points: under direct sunlight it is difficult to read and the resolution is quite low, especially when compared to lower-end cameras such as the Fuji X-E4, which offers a much more defined screen. Also, I don't particularly like the new articulation system, I preferred the previous one. As for the autofocus, I have never encountered any problems - it is fast, reliable and very accurate. Honestly, it's hard to ask for more in this respect. The only real "drawback", if you will, is the fun factor. The A7 IV is extremely effective, almost surgical. However, also owning a Fuji, I realized that I have more fun with the latter: perhaps for the film simulations, perhaps for the better display that returns a more faithful preview of the shot. With Sony, sometimes, the photo on the screen seems out of focus due to low definition, while once on the PC it looks perfect. That said, if I am looking for an operational, reliable and "glove-like" machine, Sony remains unbeatable. One of the aspects I appreciate most is the extreme customization: everything is configurable, there are four rings (which become five with lenses equipped with an aperture ring) and this guarantees great operational speed. I am not a professional, but an evolved amateur; When I photograph events, I often work in a frenetic way and frequently switch between photos and videos. Having a machine set to the millimeter is a guarantee of speed and efficiency. Video chapter: 4K 60p with crop can be seen as a limitation, but in practice it is absolutely manageable. It all depends on the type of use. On the road I never perceived real limitations. As for logs and color profiles, I personally find them unnecessary if you don't have specific professional needs: they only complicate the workflow. Recording in standard mode already achieves excellent dynamic range. In conclusion, after more than four years of using the Sony system, I don't feel any real need to change camera bodies due to shortcomings or limitations, something I had felt with the A7 III. For me the Sony A7 IV is still widely promoted with flying colors. I hope this review can be helpful to someone. Hello!

Pros: image quality, customizable keys, ISO tightness, ergonomics

Cons: Recognition of subjects in birdlife

Opinion: I switched to Sony (from Canon) before a photographic trip to Andalucia where I could love and hate this camera. The amount of customizable keys well identified on the body and the rear AF ON button well positioned and sized, are exceptional, as well as the resistance to high ISO really surprised me, I brought home a photo of the lynx taken in the dark and in the rain at 64000 ISO. Overall all the photos taken have really satisfied me, as well as the use of the camera. A sore point: the recognition of animals, especially birds, made me decide to return to Canon. The most difficult photo to take was that of an owl on top of a large oval rock in the middle of nowhere... There was no way to focus the owl, I had to focus by hand. Ditto for a ptarmigan crouching in a super-lit green meadow a few meters from me and for griffon vultures flying at my height a few tens of meters in the middle of a canyon. If the next A7 V solves these problems I will probably go back to Sony because I believe that as a camera body it is superior to Canon, also for the workability of the files and the possibility of customizing the keys in an intelligent way.

Pros: image quality, ISO capability, dynamic range, colors, ergonomics, dual slots, viewfinder, autofocus in general

Cons: Autofocus in my field (off-road cycling)

Opinion: I bought the A7 IV convinced that I had found the "definitive" body to accompany my activity as a sports photographer (mainly cycling) after years of making the thread to it. Perfect on paper: good burst, double slot, solid ergonomics. In practice, it turned out to be a great quality machine, but not suitable for my way of working. The image quality is truly remarkable. The files of the A7 IV are clean, rich in detail, and even at high ISO they maintain a surprising performance. For landscapes, portraits and controlled situations it remains a splendid machine. The problem comes as soon as the autofocus comes into play, which although excellent, is not as precise as the A6700 in my field. In cycling, the recognition of the subject often does not work when he finds helmets and glasses, in practice cycling it is unusable, making it, in fact, an old car. That's why I reluctantly decided to sell it. Bottom line: the A7 IV is an excellent camera, but you have to pay attention to certain specs required. If you need a 360-degree machine, it's perfect, but unfortunately, for my field, it turned out to be a failure. The vote? 10 anyway, because if I get out of the subjective it is objectively an almost perfect machine.

Pros: 33 MP files excellent for detail and workability, very wide dynamic range, excellent performance at high ISO, autofocus among the best on the market, improved ergonomics, dual SD/CFexpress slots, viewfinder and screen finally up to par.

Cons: Menu still not entirely intuitive.

Opinion: The A7 IV is a complete and well-balanced camera, designed for those who want professional quality in the photographic field, even with advanced video possibilities (which I personally do not use). The 33-megapixel sensor represents an excellent compromise: more resolution than the A7 III, but without penalizing the grip at high ISO. The dynamic range is really wide, the RAWs are extremely workable, and the color is neutral and easily molded in post. The autofocus is one of its absolute strengths: fast, precise, reliable even in low light conditions. Impeccable eye-AF, both on people and animals. The construction is solid, the grip improved compared to the previous generation, and the controls are widely customizable. The new tabbed menu is more rational, although it remains full of options. The vari-angle screen is useful in many situations, the viewfinder has a good resolution and smooth refresh rate. The dual slots (one UHS-II SD and one CFexpress Type A) provide flexibility and security. For those who only do photography like me, it is a camera that allows you to face any situation with confidence, both technically and operationally. In short: a complete, modern, stable mirrorless, with very few weaknesses. Perfect for those looking for a solid, reliable main body capable of adapting to any photographic genre, from street to reportage, from portrait to landscape.
