Sony Alpha A7R Mark IV review

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.

Sony Alpha A7R Mark IV review

Sony continue to innovate with the latest high-resolution, high-speed, BSI CMOS sensors, and this means they're able to offer high-resolution 61mp images, with low noise. The Sony E/FE mount has been around for a good length of time, and this means there's a good range of lenses available, and...
Pros:
  • 61mp full-frame sensor for high-resolution images, 5.76million dot electronic viewfinder, Built-in 5-axis image stabilisation, Good range of E/FE mount lenses, Multi-shot mode can produce even higher MP images
Cons:
  • Screen is a little smaller than many, NTSC / PAL switchover, Auto white balance can be too cold, Menus could be improved

Sony A7R IV review: Here's to new resolutions

The Sony A7R Mark IV delivers medium-format-level detail without sacrificing on performance. And while you do pay a significant premium for the privilege, high-resolution mirrorless cameras don't get any better than this.
Pros:
  • Huge resolution
  • Extensive and capable AF system
  • High resolution viewfinder
  • Great battery life
Cons:
  • Limited touchscreen ability
  • Restricted screen angle adjustment
  • No 60p option in 4K or 10bit capture
  • Body not a slim as it once was

Sony Alpha A7R Mark IV review

If you're looking for a full-frame camera that delivers images which compete against medium format cameras, while also offering the advantages of the most diverse lineup of full-frame lenses on the market and incredibly reliable autofocus, then the A7R IV is the camera to get.
Pros:
  • Highest resolution of any full-frame sensor, Impressive overall image quality, Best autofocus in its class, Best feature set in its class, Compact & lightweight VS medium format, Lens selection VS medium format, Best ergonomics in its class/lineage
Cons:
  • A7R III is already a very good, class-leading choice, May be less of a value compared to more affordable Sony's, Menus still complex & time-consuming, Buffer clearing still shuts down much of the camera, Ergonomics still have a few quirks
