Pros: Soul Camera. Not perfect but alive. A machine to use and inhabit. Not to be venerated.

Cons: Defects are not suffered: they are listened to. It requires patience, awareness and a true relationship with the instrument

Opinion: There are cameras that, to understand, you have to go through them. When an artist knows how to grasp the instrument, he ceases to be an altar object and becomes a travel companion. The Sony a7RIV is the perfect example. I preferred it instead of the last release, the Mark V, in October 2022. And after almost 4 years of experience, I don't just express the "usual" brochure features, but go further. It's a camera that plays on essentiality: It's a camera. Not a hybrid tool, although it also does them well videos is not its strong suit. The 61 megapixels are devoted not only to static photography but also to living photography, especially in travel, street portrait and documentary photography. I've been traveling the world with her for years and I've never felt like a single-genre room. It has limits, of course: the files are heavy, in the dark the autofocus is not always infallible, and in the most extreme actions it is not born as the queen of speed. But it remains a machine to be used, not to be venerated. In certain situations you bring out the best in yourself just when a part of the instrument does not work as you would like. It is there that it ceases to be an object of worship. If you really recognize it, it gives back a lot: detail, breath, freedom of crop, printing possibilities and an image quality that still has a lot to say today. In an era in which every new release seems to want to replace the look with the technical sheet, the A7RIV for me remains one of the last Sony to really inhabit. Not perfect, but alive. And this in photography counts more than many more functions.

Pros: AF, Impressive image quality, Dynamic range, Better stabilization than R3, Improved ergonomics including joystick, Weather sealing

Cons: Heavy files, high ISO maintenance not optimal, Monitor, AF Wildlife tracking not very accurate

Opinion: Coming from the younger sister Sony A7RIII, I found small general improvements, both physical on the body, and software such as the much improved AF on the human eye lock. The biggest difference for which I chose to upgrade was for the sensor which is monstrous, both for image quality and for dynamic range and shadow and highlight recovery, in case you made a mistake in setting some parameters before shooting (here Sony predominates over most six competing FF sensors). Ability to crop drastically in posts is a MUST. The viewfinder offers greater optical performance and given the greater number of focus points, making a mistake in the static shot or with slow movements is unlikely. Conversely, with fast-moving subjects, in non-optimal light conditions, often the subject remains out of focus 4-5/10 shots (yes there are A1, A9 and blah blah) but being still an all-rounder photographic camera, my considerations cover the entire photographic range. With the correct light conditions, however, it excels, but not in the gust. Then the usual solfa about the non-articulated monitor, the complicated menus etc make it identical to the other Sonys of the past. I have often used it in the rain in parks, woods, mountains, sea in all kinds of weather conditions with strong wind, consistent rain and it has never missed a beat. Summing up, I am fully satisfied to have had it with me for 3 years, as far as the photographic performance and the sensor coupled with the GMs are concerned, you will not be wrong. I still recommend it for those who do portraits and landscapes and can't spend on a VR that I currently use (which in my opinion is the game changer compared to the RIII)

Pros: Tolerable noise even above 3000 ISO. Truly precise and sharp pixels, spectacular sensor as color rendering and extreme precision. Better dynamic range than the A7R3 (which was great anyway). Now you can recover both lights and shadows, more tolerable recovery shadows than lights. Improved ergonomics compared to the R3. Improved tropicalization, there are more gaskets than the previous one. "Chubby" buttons.

Cons: Needless to say, the files weigh up to 120-130MB in uncompressed RAW, however it cannot be a "cons" of this machine, at most a con of this category of big-MegaPixel. Many say that the battery does not last long, in truth it seems to me superimposable to the duration of the R3 that I had until recently, and it seems to me an acceptable duration. Absence of shutter closure when the machine is off to change lenses without the sensor remaining exposed. The usual sony menus with Abbr. Imp. D. Capir. For some, the fact that the screen is not as articulated as the most recent, but frankly it does not bother me.

Opinion: Before I had the A7R3 which I really liked. Then I switched to this model with the idea of increasing the resolution to be able to make larger prints. I take landscape photos in 99% of cases and print so many in sizes equal to or greater than 60cm long side. To keep 300dpi in print, with 61mpx I can now reach even 80-90cm long side. Considerations: What really changes between the R3 and R4 is the quality of the sensor and its resolution. Everything else is really very similar to the previous one, and the remaining differences are mostly goodies, such as the buttons that have been enlarged. It sounds like but now pressing them is easier even with snow gloves. The sensor instead no, that has really changed, it is much more resolute, 19mpx more, but not only ... The quality between this and the previous one, both as precision of pixels and as dynamic range, I was able to appreciate it for real by comparing my shots of a month ago with those of now. After all, this Sony sensor (IMX455AQK) is currently in use on other machines in the same category, such as the 61mpx Sigma FP, while rumors say that it may have been selected for the future Leica. The same sensor is maintained in the A7RV where the quality is the same as this. That said, I was undecided whether to switch to this or to the RV, however for the kind of photos I do I considered it unnecessary to have the AI on the autofocus, the only thing that really seems stupid to me that the RIV does not have is the closure of the curtain during optical replacement. Machine of the highest quality, approved for landscape use and beyond.

Pros: I don't know

Cons: Unsatisfactory value for money

Opinion: Let me start by saying that I am not a professional photographer, but an amateur photographer. However, mostly dissatisfied especially with the combination with Sony 24/70 GM II; the latter gives a slowness of autofocus in low light that in comparison a Tamron looks like a missile. With flash or with a lot of light it returns good definition, in the absence of light already after ISO 620 it makes you cry when compared to Canon R5 with similar combination. It improves with 35 f1.4 or 85 f1.8, but overall it still disappointed me

Pros: Autofocus, responsiveness, ergonomics, key position, file quality and recovery, battery, viewfinder quality, etc. pretty much everything except what I wrote in the cons.

Cons: Maybe to be picky kept at high ISO above 3200 with bad light, but you already know given the density of the sensor and of course weight of each individual RAW file, about 120 mb or about 60 mb with raw compressed.

Opinion: I bought this fantastic machine, together with the 200-600 Sony and it is really a winning combination, it churns out wonderful files, with RAW files you do what you want, I managed to recover both underexposed and overexposed files, that to see them you do not believe, almost a miracle and I do not say so to say ... I use it mainly for birdlife and at the moment I would not change it with anything, those who intend to buy it, must know that 61 mpx are not easy to manage, but once set and have taken a little 'hand the results come eccome .. I highly recommend it.good light to all.
