Sony Alpha A7R Mark IV review

The Sony a7R IV is among the most capable cameras we've tested. It makes a compelling case that the days of choosing between speed-oriented cameras and resolution-oriented cameras are coming to an end.

Photography made easier

I bought this camera 2 days before I have to do a commissioned shoot at the recent Singapore F1 Grand Prix as I wasn't confident of nailing the shots I needed with the gear I already owned.

It says something that the a7R IV, which brings with it an easily handheld form factor, a vast lens selection, and the ability to capture just about any subject, from scenice landscapes to professional sports, is downright competitive with medium format systems in terms of pixel count.

The full-frame mirrorless Sony a7R IV outshines its high-resolution competition with an outstanding autofocus system and a superlative image sensor, delivering class-leading performance. The Sony a7R IV ($3,499.99, body only) is the follow-up to the popular a7R III. It takes the same concept—a full-frame mirrorless camera built for high-resolution capture—to the next level. Where the previous two entries in the series shared the same 42.4MP sensor, the a7R IV shoots at 60.2MP, a significant increase in resolution. It maintains its predecessors' 10fps burst rate, improves autofocus capabilities, and offers sundry updates all around, especially in ergonomics. After some time using it, we can confidently say it's the best high-resolution, full-frame camera on the market, and our Editors' Choice.

Resolution-wise, the α7R IV sits at the top of Sony’s ‘full frame’ camera range, replacing the 42.2-megapixel α7R III , which continues to be available. Stills photographers looking for the extra resolution will doubtless welcome the upgrade.

Probably the best all round Camera available today

Paired with a G Master lens you are assured of great results. Low light performance is excellent. The colours when using 24-70 GM are wonderful . The crop sensor 26mp works particularly well and comes in very useful.Most shots taken are perfect first time, a result that not many other cameras can...

In all, the video looks great, and with the addition of no record limit time with dual card slots, its ready for just about anything. Our favorite feature is Pixel-Shift Multi Shooting; having the detail that a 240MP image offers is just fantastic.

Sony A7R IV Mirrorless Camera Review: More Pixels, Bigger Build, Better Camera

When Sony officially unveiled the 61MP A7R IV full frame mirrorless camera in New York City last month, I made a joke on Twitter that didn't go over very well. I tweeted, facetiously, that the A7R IV was the best DSLR that Sony had ever produced.

Not everyone needs 61MP, but you'll still want the A7R IV for its speed, autofocus, and durability.
