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.

Pros: Balanced, pleasant to use, evf

Cons: Very weak articulated display and unsuitable for professional use.

Opinion: It is a machine that brings all the pros and cons of the sony, but I am talking specifically about this model, highly disappointing, it is the display joint that is decidedly shameful. Same problem as Y7S3. The first time, for a slight damage, in official sony assistance in Verona, they fixed it under warranty saying that they had made an exception. Exception for what? The mechanism sucks. Then in 2024 it breaks down permanently, everything works but does not stop and bends backwards without a stop. I was in the middle of the work period and taken by desperation, I disassembled it [...] and I recreated the seat of the screw graft with epoxy glue and then I stopped everything with a clamp to make it harden 24 hours, we are talking about a screw as big as that of glasses. That is, all the friction of the display locks on a fife waist. Shame. Now it locks quite well but to fix it and restore everything as factory they go away 350 euros because the rear cap has to be changed. I keep it like this. You can work. For the rest it's fine, it has a good resolution potential regardless of 33mpx, even in raw it has a more accurate rendering of skin colors than the old ones, the autofocus is excellent, with the latest firmware updates it also has more responsiveness to shooting, that is, less latency. Ergonomically it is good, always with the sony limitations, the display is small typical of the brand, under the sun you can't see it, in fact it's pitiful. It's a pleasure to use and is a nice step up from the a7 3. Too bad for the 4K 50p video that only goes in crop, I think it's a purely commercial choice, but the video quality is excellent and is very responsive during videos on the go.

Pros: Operating speed, AF, file quality, improved ergonomics.

Cons: It heats up a bang, 33 mpx in my opinion useless for a multipurpose camera, several "Bugs" of ignition and off, after 7 months one of the two sd slots has crashed, feeling of unreliability.

Opinion: A very significant upgrade of the A7III, operating speed, subject attachment even in bad light conditions, file writing speed, general responsiveness of another planet (compared to the A7III, in fact), considerably higher sensor quality and with a more pleasant and "easy" color rendering in post, ergonomics, weight, adjustable screen (good for photos, less for videos), Exceptional and improved AF in the chase, in short, very satisfied from many points of view, if it were not for the fact that in 7 months of use, not even intense, it has presented several alarming behaviors, removed the well-known temperature problem, partially solvable through the appropriate item in the menu, I have repeatedly witnessed on/off bugs (always using only original batteries) in which the camera does not turn off unless the battery is removed, and recently an apparent writing bug, which I thought was caused by a faulty SD in compartment 2 (to be clear the standard/no CF one), which then turned out to be due to a mechanical breakage of the card lock system inside the compartment (A really strange stuff, for the way it manifested, I'm waiting for clarification from support);
