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

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...

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
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 A7R IV Review
Let’s face it: you probably don’t need to take 61-megapixel photos, which makes the A7R IV a tough camera to recommend at its current asking price. That being said, it’s a fantastically powerful product that offers a surprising amount of speed and convenience for such a hi-res camera, and if it were more affordable we wouldn’t hesitate to award this impressive all-rounder a higher score. As it stands, cheaper models like the A7 III and A7R III make a lot more sense for the majority of buyers, so we’d definitely advise looking at those first.
Pros:
- Superb image quality
- Fast continuous shooting
- Superb autofocus system
- Lightweight, compact and tough build
Cons:
- Overkill for vast majority of photographers
- Byzantine menu system

Pros:
- Superb detail resolution, Excellent autofocus system, High-resolution electronic viewfinder
Cons:
- Limited use made the touch-control, Tilting rather than vari-angle scree, High price

Sony a7R 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. It wouldn't be our top choice for sports and action purists (all those megapixels result in many megabytes of storage), but for those users that need this resolution on a regular basis and want to be able to photograph fast-moving subjects when necessary, the Sony a7R IV is the best option on the market right now.
Pros:
- Landscape photographers, wedding and event shooters, studio photographers that specialize in portraits and product photography, and anyone that wants to make really big prints.
Cons:
- Dedicated sports and action shooters, those that must frequently switch from shooting stills to video and back again
