Yesterday, Sony announced its latest mirrorless camera, the A7R IV . Designed to offer the quality of a medium format camera while maintaining the comparatively light and convenient form factor of a full-frame (35mm) Alpha system, the device packs an impressive set of features into a compact...

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...

Scorecard

- Some image noise issues when shooting at higher ISOs, - Antiquated and confusing menu system, - Rear LCD doesn't side-swivel, just tilts

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.

The A7r Mark IV is an impressive body, with its new 61 Megapixel sensor leap-frogging its high-res rivals to date and overall speed and handling that could easily tempt D850 owners.

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.

The A7R IV proves that Sony is still very much on a roll with its Alpha line. While a handful of niggles from previous models remain, the class-leading pixel count, revamped Pixel Shift Multi Shooting mode and autofocusing improvements in particular show the company continuing to innovate, and push...

Great handling with improved ergonomics, Very fast and intelligent AF system, Bright, sharp and high-contrast viewfinder, Excellent 4K video quality, Pixel Shift Multi Shot capable of superb detail, Well-behaved metering system

Some AWB and focus issues, Rolling shutter noticeable in videos, Mode dial more awkward to access than before, Touchscreen could be better, No in-camera raw processing, No motion correction in Pixel Shift mode

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.

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...

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

Screen is a little smaller than many, NTSC / PAL switchover, Auto white balance can be too cold, Menus could be improved

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
