Thank you for your amazing review Jason. The crop at 4k 60p sucks me a lot becase the job Im doing I need a wide lens. I was wondering if you can do a review of the Sony a7IV at 4k60 using the sony apsc lens 10-18mm f4. can it work? can you test the sharpeness and the quality of image ? I'm looking for a solution with this 1.5x croping. Thank you!! Peace :)

I never found out why it happened and well, when you complained about the 4k60fps crop here, I suddenly realized, that that must have been what has happened on this shoot. Happy to finally know xD

@thispak 2 жыл бұрын
@@noahjoseph5714 the biggest upgrade for the A74 in my opinion are of course the megapixels, but it is the flip out screen which is a huge. Other than that, the a7iii is more than adequate to get the job done for weddings, engagement shoots and social events. The lens is more important than the body, especially for resell value which stays consistent as time passes by. I mean if you can afford the A74, by all means, go for the best. But for the majority of us, it's not a necessity, a good lens and a constant willingness to go out and practice shooting and understanding the variables of photo editing are key to becoming a proper photographer. Don't use the hype of a new camera body to justify you being a good photographer. A good driver isn't a good driver solely because the car is expensive but because you develop the necessary skills to become better as you practice and learn from your mistakes.

Jason does the best job at explaining this. I use my a7iii for video and love it. Three things might make me jump to a7iv: flip out screen, higher resolution LCD screen (the screen in a7iii is surprisingly poor resolution), and the dust protection mechanism (even when I store my camera in a closet, dust keeps entering the a7iii sensor). And I would add the improved menu navigation and buttons are huge too.

Great video Jason thanks, my biggest disappointment about this camera (given the sizable price increase) was that Sony didn't manage to squeeze in a stacked sensor to once again cement them as the mirrorless leaders, offering cutting edge features at a great price like so many A series models have done before it. Sony could have still kept the A7iv artificially capped at 10fps to protect the A9 and A1 sales but I think to have quite a sizable rolling shutter and probably a nasty banding issue too when shooting in silent shutter mode is unacceptable at $2500 in what is essentially 2022. I would love to see some silent shutter banding tests, maybe a comparison shootout against the A9i which is actually the same price as the A7iv and so makes for a very interesting proposition!

Was excited when I saw this review on my homepage. Great video as always!! As an a6400 user I really eventually want to get into a full frame camera. This one really feels like the logical choice (although a little bummed about the 4K 60 crop). I do think I’ll need to wait a bit to save a justify spending this much on a camera but I don’t think there is a better option for my use in the Sony lineup.
@sidehustlers336 2 жыл бұрын
I came from the A6400 as well. I was waiting for an improved APS-C camera, then the A74 came out. I thought the 4K 60 was great because i have some good crop glass I can use for video. The Sigma Trio and the Tamron 11-20mm. Ill be using the tamron for slow mo real estate videos at 4K 60. So the greatthing is you can use your current lenses for 4K 60 stabilized, much better quality video.

Great review. I see the camera as a very small incremental upgrade to the A7III. I think I will skip this one and go for the A7RV when released, hopefully sometime in 2022. I do mainly product, macro, astro and landscape. The AF improvements won't affect me much ( i use manual focus a lot). I also see a more greenish tint on the A7IV I am not too please about. I will keep expanding my lens lineup in the meantime.

this is not geared towards video centric. its a HYBRID all arouner. if you are primary for video you will already be getting/using a Sony A7Siii or FX3 FX6 instead. Use the right tool for the right job. Dont complain to Sony and others when you are trying to do something VERY specific and want the best results with a general use case camera !!! Like trying to use a butter knife to cut sushi perfectly. Yes they are both knives but its not the same.
@chico3517 2 жыл бұрын
@M Tech you can’t compare that, a phone‘s camera sensor is a fraction of the size of a fullframe camera. the amount of data that needs to be processed on a fullframe camera, let alone when it needs to downscale, is much, much higher. and therefore it produces a lot more heat, which also is a big limitation when it comes to recording times in a rather small body. the canon R5 has such short record limits for a reason.
@chico3517 2 жыл бұрын
@M Tech also, i think it’s pretty on par with the R6. same price point and specs are very comparable. agree, the R6 does 4K/60 without a crop but also has way less megapixels to deal with, which makes it less capable as a hybrid camera. also, the sony records for much longer. tests show it runs for 2 hours and longer at room temperature, while the R6 shuts down after 20-25 minutes and often you have to wait hours for it to be useable again. all in all, i can't see why it would be a huge disappointment. agreed, 4K/60 without a crop would have been really great, but to me, when filming slow-motion, i tend to use higher focal lengths anyway so i‘d be OK with that personally. and looking at their lineup, they have to make some sacrifices. if it would do 4K/60 without a crop, the only thing that would set the a7s III apart is 4K/120. most people don’t need that so sony would lose out on a lot of sales for that camera, since it’s way more expensive than the a7 IV.
