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.- Scorecard
- - Some image noise issues when shooting at higher ISOs
- - Antiquated and confusing menu system
- - Rear LCD doesn't side-swivel
- just tilts
Sony Alpha A7R Mark IV review
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 hands-on review: 61 glorious megapixels
Want a great deal on the Sony A7R IV, or another digital camera, this holiday? Check out our favorite Black Friday camera deals. The Sony A7R IV is a 61-megapixel full-frame mirrorless camera. That statement is pretty incredible when you recall people jumped up-and-down over the 42MP A7R II just a few years ago. Yet here we are in 2019 and the numbers keep soaring into the stratosphere. Not that we’re complaining, mind you — especially since we got a chance to see what that resolution really means capturing a variety of subjects at the A7R IV launch event in New York City. Let’s set the table first. The new A7R IV arrives in September for $3,500. The samples we used were production-ready in terms of image quality, but the bodies and the attendant circuitry were a little squirrelly and likely to be updated before the cameras hit store shelves. Not that this impacted our shooting very much, but it does mean this is our initial hands-on impression and not a final review. The goods news is...- 61MP full-frame sensor
- 240MP pixel-shift mode
- 10 fps continuous shooting
- 4K video in full-width and crop modes
- Real-Time autofocus
- Benefits of 61MP may be limited
- Sony menus remain problematic
