The good thing about the Sony A7RIV is that it's made the A7RIII cheaper!

This is the first of the reviews I've seen by you Gordon, a very good, clear and concise review. Well done.

When you like when it starts(video) as you know the review alone will be top notch.. as usual!!

As usual, the most comprehensive reviews I can find. An awesome informative video review. Thank you, Gordon.

Very good review. You talk fast enough and edit well enough to make a review enjoyable because of brevity and usefulness.

Once again another fantastic video from you. I love the way you provide critical "pixel peeping" comparisons between the images and cover the little quirks in these reviews. Keep up the great work...I just subscribed!

I'm a Fuji guy but learning what new features other camera got is pretty neat

Excellent review, as always. I can’t wait for mine to arrive!

You are my favorite reviewer, no drama, no fuss, just good detailed information, thumbs up!

Comprehensive (and entertaining) as usual - thanks, Gordon.

Fantastic review as always Gordon! Thank you for your perspective on this new 61 Megapixel beast ;)

Great work Gordon. You're one of the only people whos reviews I watch.

Great video Gordon, really detailed and professional, keep up the good work .

Impressive review, You still seem to improve. Thank You Gordon!

Brilliant review !! A7R4 was released for sale last Friday in Singapore

One of the best reviews I've come upon. I'm planning to transition from my old Nikon to this, but my only real issue is the lack of screen "flipability" as my Nikon had that functionality and I used it often for selfies with my lady on trips and getting down low for landscape shots.

Well done. Can't wait for my A7R4!

Thank you Gordon! Hands down the best technical review!

glad to hear you are still in the business

great to know i can have a camera that i can have for the rest of my life and not have to replace!

Thank you so much for an amazing and detailed review.

Excellent camera. Thanks for the review.

Thank you for the nice, detailed, but concise review!

Superlative yet again Gordon! Coffee on the way. Oh, and the book is more than worth the price!

9:57 top picture, in 2160p 4k, able to discern the texture of the building.

Awesome review Gordon , Thanks for that 😊

Gordon ... best review so far. Thanks a lot.

great review Gordon! am a follower since your canon 40D review..

Another excellent review! Thank you.

GREAT video!!!.... it was very helpful in making my mind up on which camera I'll be getting... a7RIV it is ... thank you... keep doing you!!!

Great review Gordon! Thank you!

Love watching cameras I can't afford lol.

This video is AWESOME!! I wish you could have discussed battery life, particularly when shooting movies.

Another great review sir ! Thank you .

Great review, currently got this on my wishlist on Wex, I should really just take the plunge and go for it after watching this! Also bought your book off Amazon now too, keep up the great work!

Thanks Gordon, this is another great review because Gordon!

another good review Gordon. Yes I also wish the r3/r4 mode dial was a lock dial like the ev comp on the r4 (and panasonics) that way you can use or not. interesting to see the higher ISO IQ is compromised in comparison (back to the days when this was always true). PS no steven seagull again :D :D

Thanks for the review Gordon. Just one tiny thing, there is intervalometer in the A7rIII and A7III since a FW update.

i am watching gordon's review's on camera's almost 10 year's..👍

Nice video, thank you for this great work

Thanks Gordon. I have one pre-ordered.

The vlog focus is very nice and crisp

No filler all killer thanks for another great review Gordon. Good to see that Sony finally offers more than two aspect ratios in camera about time. A pity though there is no RAW Small and Medium options available. This would have made the camera an even more attractive option to buyers.

Fantastic review. First time viewer, new subscriber.

... the best review on the a7r IV I've seen so far. 👍🏻 Thanks for the info! I think the new Sigma 35 / 1.2 is a good choice for the new Sony.

Very good review. Thanks! I fink I'll sceep this one

In the photos at the end, what do you use for the thin vertical lights please? Great review.

Excellent information!

Great review! Thank you! Liked and subscribed ;)

Excellent, wish you’d made some comparisons with the A9. Thanks Gordon!

Great video again thanks, Sony really pack these cameras with so many options but why on earth they did not fit that mic. with a pass through with a top connector so you could piggy back a flash on there? Out of my price range sadly, be looking forward to the Canon 90D and your corresponding review of that one.

Good review, thanks!

Sony Please bring the Small 20MP, Medium 40MP and Large 60MP RAW options through firmware

Great work as always. And you are the only reviewer who takes great sample photos 😊 I get the impression you are possibly a little underwhelmed? I started off excited myself and I’m slowly developing a sense of reality maybe. When I see massive prints off my R3 and Rx1r2 I wonder if I’d just get sick of the file size of Raws sitting on my drives for all my other (non landscape) work. If I could be convinced that the AF is substantially better I may be swayed but the rest of the upgrades are just ‘nice to haves’ at the moment. What’s your view on the AF in a comparative way to the R3?

Gordon Laing is always doing great review, waiting original adapter from sony or canon to switch from canon to sony camera

Interesting & compelling review. I'm considering upgrading/replacing one or more of my canon bodies (7Dii and 1Div). I had planned on my next body being a mirrorless Canon unit, but the Sony options are getting good reviews on some of the forums I follow. I'm likely looking at either a A7R3 or a Canon 1DX if I make any changes currently. Do you have any first hand experience that would give you an opinion as to which body you would lean towards?

Great review!

Very well done Sir!

I bought an ar7 iv couple days ago alone with the FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM Lens and the FE 85mm F1.4 Good Morning! Lens. It is an amazing camera and the glass Sony has put in in the GM is the best. I couldn’t believe how clear the video was. Next week I will add the FE 24mm 1.4 GM as one of my Lens. I am very satisfied with camera.

Very very nice reviews the best on youtube !

Great review

As always a great review! I want a camera with the touch ergonomics and video capabilities of the Panasonic S series and the autofocus and lens collection of this Sony. Will we ever get this? 🤔

Very good and useful review

Great unit not too sure if I,ll upgrade yet, maybe when Einfinty drop the price a bit, but as always it’s not about how big you print but the ability to do massive crops which I find on both the 2 and 3 been a godsend, great review Gordon

Great review, thank you! The more I see of the A7rIV the more I'm tempted to buy one.

Thanks to the A1, I picked up mine damn near new for 2300 :D

Well done Gordon.

The day somebody will release a simple, straight forward, no super extra features full frame camera professionals will love it. It's no longer about photography nowadays it is about the features of the camera and how to use these features in post-production

Nice review👍👍

I am a surf photographer. The fact you can program the C1 button, toggle between full frame and 1.5 crop sensor and still get 24 MP shots, both at 10fps, get 120 fps video, and have great autofocus in still photography and video is the attraction for me. This camera body and set up turns the new Sony 200-600mm lens into a sharp 300-900mm lens for stills and video without changing lens. I know if no other set up that can do it.

Suscribed. Thank from Spain. I dude between lumix s1R or a7r4... I love retro illuminated lumix. Video quality and specifications lumix win (in theorie). I love this `Sony’s microphone and AF. The dynamic range is very important for me. The same Versus review between LUMIX s1R vs a7r4 would be great!!!. If lumix could recover the dark frame areas as well as Sony I would buy lumix. In theorie Sony has better dynamic range... I don’t know the lumix low sensibility responses... this battle would be absolute AMAZING 😉

Another great review mate. I don't have need for a high megapixel camera at least at that price . I'm just an enthusiast photographer who shoots mostly birds and macro, no landscape here. Yes one could argue more is better but in my case I will stick with my 24mp a7iii thanks. Cheers.

Gordon thanks✊🏾

Really enjoyed your review of the r5, si I'm now watching this one... Please can you do a comparison between the Sony a7riv and Canon r5?

Thank you very much for a detailed review! Just want to ask if the selection of megapixels of 60m, 26m and 15m only available in jpegs or is it available as well in raw format?

Awesome, thanks

Thanks for confirming, I wasn't to impressed with the noise results i got to see when Fro posted his dng files a couple of weeks ago. even at iso 200. I'm still wondering what metering he was using, perhaps it isn't as bad when spot metering.

Super helpful. I upgraded from the MkII. Overall I'm very happy, but I noticed the increase in noise right away at higher ISO's even with mid-day images. Disappointed when thinking about shooting with it at night. It confirms my findings with a test I did at 400 and 1600 ISO going from normal to -3EV. Even at 1600 my A7RII looked considerably better noise-wise than the MKIV. Pixel Pitch is the trade-off. I figured that. Keeping my images at 50-400 ISO is optimal for this camera. The MK 3 would be better for night shooting. Thanks for a great, concise review!!

Hi Gordon, I am sorry if I have missed it in video but is there still some crop in 4K/30p full frame mode (I guess yes if it is in APS-C mode) ? Thank you for answer.

Great Review

Damn. That AF is incredibly impressive. But I still love my Panasonic G9 :-D

In video mode its same 5 years old camera.

I'm always tempted by Sony and have borrowed an A7R2 in the past but that poor touch screen, menu and mostly the lack of articulation is a deal breaker for my shooting in various angles. Panasonic has it right and is the benchmark in my opinion but made a fundamental mistake with the S1 and S1R not having the articulating screen. The S1H has the better screen but also the unneeded video specs, an AA filter and high price. Once again the ideal camera eludes me (and others). Great times for product photographers though. Thanks for the informative reviews.

Nice review Gordon I just wish prices would be a bit lower from SONY I have the original Mark 1 which looks kinda old fashioned now somehow compared with 4 ✌️ keep the good reviews coming now I always watch them.

Thank you

Waiting for this sensor in the new Nikon Z8. Get those Pro lenses out and the Z Mount will rock it.

Interesting video! I'd like to know more about moire that this camera has considering its 61 Megapixel. Thanks! :-)

Lovely camera review, always a joy to watch, thank you. Really sexy camera. But a bit too high-class for me.

Nice Review David Oastler . I got you on a coffee if you ever come to Philadelphia. My studio is is right next door to a coffee roaster.

The only critique for me.. I don't know why they do not to put the drive dial on the body like A9 or at least why not move the mode dial on the left to allow a small top lcd on the right? Don't want to bind every button, I prefer to have physical dials. This is the only cons together with the old style menu, let's hope for a fw update to solve this on III and now IV series..

God I need this Camera....❤

I don't have A7R3. I have a7 mk3 for speed, then I preorder this for high resolution work . Can't wait to get mine on the coming weeks

Full frame 4K definitely looks sharper than crop mode.

The ISO test is interesting. But I think it misses something about real world applications for many people's photos. For example, if you're an events photographer or photojournalist, there are very few cases where you'll need to provide a file larger than 6,000 pixels on the long side. So you can downsample your A7R IV files to that size when you export from Lightroom, or whatever, and in so doing more than compensate for the slight noise disadvantage in higher ISO files. Coming from an A7 III I've found that to be the case in most situations, and that camera is still amongst the very best for high ISO/ low noise images. I've certainly found that to be the case at least and I think it shows that test shooting doesn't always reveal the true strengths and weaknesses of a camera. So why get a 61MP camera? Because it's such a flexible tool, providing files you can crop to extreme levels including making large landscape photos from a portrait mode original. Plus all the other great features in this latest iteration of the A7* series.

Nice review

Finally an illuminated focus point in a Sony body...

Can you do some of us a favor, and just do a short test clip by....Taking a few full size 61mp raw images, and then previewing on the camera (100% zoomed) so we can see in real time speed at how long it takes from shooting a few scenes and then preview to seeing a image on the camera 1:1 zoomed in.

nice review

Nice review Gordon. Expecting mine next week. Really glad you dinged Sony for the poor functionality of their touch screens. It continues to be the major disappointment I experience, and reason I continue to keep informed about other camera systems. C’mon Sony get with it and give us a “real” touchscreen with all the functionality it should have and that other manufacturers have had for years now!!
