Review on Sony Alpha Camera ILCE-7RM4 Body, black by Jnis Staulis ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Didn't quite buy it well, had a little trouble using it.

Many photographers are very happy with the release of the a7r 4 because the price of the previous model has decreased, the image quality of the previous one is better in the evening. I used a7r4 for two weeks and compared with the previous model and came to the conclusion that a7r4 does not have significant advantages I emphasize a7r4 gives a lower quality picture than the previous model, but the fact that you shoot a girl with a new camera will not make her more beautiful, therefore your pictures will not be needed by anyone At a7r4 at ISO 12800, blue noise creeps into the shadows; the in-camera noise reduction cannot cope with it. The a7r3 looks cleaner, it's a shame that the a7r4 will be just as clean at ISO 25600

Pros
  • It shoots much better than a smartphone, although now smartphones also have 60 megapixels. The resolution of contrast details up to ISO 800 has been increased compared to the old model. This can hardly be called a plus, because of this, digital noise in the shadows increased and the color depth decreased.
Cons
  • High resolution requires large, heavy, fast lenses, with which the camera becomes larger than its DSLR counterparts. I want faster apertures 35-75F1.4, 150 F1.4. Autofocus does not catch the silhouette of a person in the shadow behind the branches of trees, there is no exposure for a small face in the shadow. The camera cannot cope with flickering lighting in silent shooting mode - dark stripes appear, because the matrix is ​​​​not read all at once, but in parts, so about shooting in silent mode at night under a street lamp (when silence is needed most) at shutter speeds shorter than 1 / 100 sec you can forget and hammer like from a machine gun, rattling the shutter, in silent mode under a street lamp it is better not to set the shutter speed to shorter than 1/30 sec, video with a terrible overheating of the camera 30 fps (you need 60), there is no electronic "zoom / increase in the video ( this is when in a video a full frame compressed to 4k is zoomed to uncompressed pixel-by-pixel 4k in the center of the frame), the question is why do we need an "electronic" viewfinder then? It's like a DSLR, only more expensive. not given, it is inconvenient. The stabilizer does not withstand 4 seconds of exposure. The main thing is that it infuriates - the queue in RAW 30 frames does not support CFexpress memory cards with a recording speed of 8gb / sec. do not spend) - so you have to take spare batteries and keep the camera always on when you expect a sudden important event for several days, the digital noise is much stronger than the previous model, almost a step worse than ISO 12800 does not work - this is a very unpleasant step back, I really wanted to step is better. The price / quality of the a7r4 is absurd, it is better to buy the previous model and a fast "fix" lens
