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...

Superb image quality, Fast continuous shooting, Superb autofocus system, Lightweight, compact and tough build

Overkill for vast majority of photographers, Byzantine menu system

In some respects, the Sony A7R IV is the best mirrorless camera available at the moment. Its detail resolution and autofocus system are class-leading, but its price is also staggering.

Superb detail resolution, Excellent autofocus system, High-resolution electronic viewfinder

Limited use made the touch-control, Tilting rather than vari-angle scree, High price

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.

Landscape photographers, wedding and event shooters, studio photographers that specialize in portraits and product photography, and anyone that wants to make really big prints.

Dedicated sports and action shooters, those that must frequently switch from shooting stills to video and back again.

This is suppose to be an upgrade of an A7R4. Beside the higher LCD resolution, I think Sony do something to the firmware (A7R4A has its own firmware version) and make overall color a little bit more vibrant which I like a lot. Attached pics are with Tamron 28-75 G2

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

The Sony a7R IV is a highly-refined, feature-packed, extremely competent, well-constructed little camera that delivers sharp, incredibly-high-resolution images with impressive dynamic range. The upgrades in the version IV camera are signifcant with the new 61 MP imaging sensor being a highlight.

The Sony A7R Mark IV has several key improvements over its predecessor, including a bigger but more ergonomic camera body with a more comfortable grip; enhanced weather sealing; better button and control layout, including a locking exposure compensation dial; a faster, more accurate autofocus system...
