I was surprised by the quality for this price.

In fact, this is a medium format, but: - with gles not for 200k+ - with autofocus - in a very compact size, with low weight For phenomenal video there is fx3, I wanted a device for the same photo, I got it. In fact, I have a medium format in a compact case. Take a picture and marvel at the detail! Yes, there is noise here and you need to shoot carefully (without shaking), but these are the only drawbacks! I didn’t feel that my 15 ’macbook 2022 is difficult This camera will not be outdated, I

Pros
  • 60 megapixels is: - unlock the potential of top optics - sprinkle three times without losing detail - 9000x6000px - receive in crop mode 26 megapixels - ignore portrait mode - 1000 frames per 128gb card Another important plus: - the monitor is not swivel - great viewfinder - y and quiet shutter sound - grip
Cons
  • The video record on is missing Strap attachments not very good There is no mini hdmi wire included (sometimes I thought to use it as a b camera for a blog) Large and contrasting Sony and Alpha logo, had to be sealed with electrical tape

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…

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

A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

I think, like everyone else, I was first of all bribed by the impeccable work of autofocus. Very fast and very accurate. Allows you to trust the camera 100%. All I have to do is select the object I want to focus on, then the camera will do everything by itself. The matrix has no analogues, to detail, in terms of dd and working ISO, the camera can only be compared with a medium format. Lights and shadows stretch very well, the sharpness is razor-sharp. The main thing is to use only high-quality…

Pros
  • 1. Autofocus with tracking mode, incl. in the eyes of people and animals 2. Matrix with high resolution, while high working ISO and wide dynamic range 3. Autonomy 4. Ergonomics 5. 2 fast UHS-II card slots 6. Large buffer 7. 5-axis matrix stabilization 8. Good moisture protection 9. Quality video 10. High resolution viewfinder
Cons
  • 1. High price 2. Heavy raw 3. No multi-touch

Not a bad product, but I expected a little more.

I took it at the end of January for 215k (and a 24-70 2.8 GM lens) I have been shooting with Canon for more than 6 years (at the moment mark3), I wanted good autofocus in the eyes, the choice fell on a new Sony. As a complete replacement, I would not take this camera, there are too many nuances, it is more for a calm, measured shooting. Due to the high resolution, the noise is stronger than the third brand. Even a compressed rav weighs 60MB, 515 frames fit on a 32GB card. If you do not shoot…

Pros
  • Light weight, high resolution, folding screen. Compressed file size (weight 60mb). A chic focus on the eyes, for the sake of it, and took it. It sits well in the hand, the little finger does not fall off. The joysticks are comfortable.
Cons
  • Noisiness (worse than canon mark3) With ISO 400, small noise begins to climb. The touch screen is not touch at all, the only thing you can do is to poke the focus point. Chaotic menu, strange abbreviations (you have to go into the instructions) Sometimes functions become temporarily unavailable - for example, when the camera sends a photo from the buffer to the card, you cannot change the shooting mode (burst-single-frame) Very strange color in manual BB mode, you have to adjust the gamma yourself . If you put the shooting mode on two cards and then remove one, the camera will refuse to shoot, you will need to change the setting back. There are a lot of such trifles and of course they will slow down the shooting. There is no M equal as such in the camera. There is a compressed one, it weighs not 120mb but already 60mb, but the frame resolution will be 9504 x 6336 (60M). And only in crop + compression mode, it will be 6240 x 4160 (26M). But the same 24mm will not be 24mm.

Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

90% sensitivity is enough, it doesn’t take long to process, and in general the noise is extinguished in two clicks . the photo is then a fairy tale . the problem is chromatic aberration with third-party glasses . well, in general, this is probably all the problems . stub bomb, by the way I didn’t even catch overheating, I shot a lot, intensively, for 30 minutes without stopping .

Pros
  • Photo and video quality, tenacious autofocus in the eyes and in the video too, fits comfortably in the hand, clear button layout, everything is in its place, battery life, compact, wide dynamic range and much more
Cons
  • Intricate menu, but in principle logical

Satisfactory product quality, good price.

After taking pictures for a couple of months, I realized that it would not be possible to finally leave Nikon DSLRs at this stage of development of the UPC. Sony ergonomists - to the stake for infernal menus. With its pros: - Very good AF, if you know how to set it up; - Good picture, but compared to an external exposure meter, Sekonic ISO 100 is more like 50; - Stacking modes 4 and 16 frames; - there are nice functions like taking 1-3-5 frames by pressing the shutter button, but there is NO…

Not exactly the product I wanted, the price and quality do not match.

In general, I have had this Sonya for almost a year, I took it for commercial filming, I bought two lenses for it, I use the rest through an adapter from kenon, since my main system is all such kenons, in October I thought to buy a second Sonya, and then start selling lenses from kenon, so to speak, to make a slow transition from one system to another, but after weighing the pros and cons, I bought another kenon, because Sony's shortcomings are really FAULTS, batteries that are relatives that…

Pros
  • Multi-pixel matrix Any system lens can be installed Silent fast shooting DD matrix chic
Cons
  • Batteries, Batteries and More Batteries - Discharge Quickly

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

It is rather difficult to leave a correct review, since it was a transition not only to a new model, but also to a digital one, a digital one from Sony in principle. Before that I used Canon 1DX Mark II on L optics. Therefore, everything is new, everything is unusual. Yes, the picture is different, but I can’t say that it is so critical that it would cause grief and frustration. It's just everything else. However, the convenience and technology of the novelty pleasantly surprises with functions

Pros
  • Weight and dimensions! As one of the main, essential and expected advantages, I will note the high resolution of the images, the detail is really impressive; Gorgeous black; From the raw shadows stretch remarkably; General level of photo quality; Even in the absence of a high-speed memory card, the buffer allows you not to stop shooting; Focusing is a separate and very significant topic. Combined with automatic tracking of focus on the eyes of people and animals, this is a real breakthrough and ease of use of the proposed modes; Fortunately, I did not have a chance to test it, but good dust and moisture protection is claimed; A fairly convenient and clear viewfinder, although I can’t compare, I didn’t use digital analogues; Convenient and fast data transfer; The ability to control via Wi-Fi, there is no need for cables and other remote controls.
Cons
  • It seemed unusually noisy at ISO above 1600, which is most likely a price to pay for high resolution. Unusual heating of equipment during prolonged use; According to feedback from users who have long been familiar with the brand, they say that the battery holds well. Probably not bad, but without a second in reserve, I definitely won’t dare to go out. It is clear that no one will intentionally shake the carcass, but in the off state, if the device is shaken, the sound of stabilizers (maybe it’s not them, but it feels) of the mirror is heard. When switched on, the noise disappears. SC said it was normal. I don't know, maybe okay, but not very nice. First of all, I will make a reservation right away, it is very subjective, this is just my opinion. Optics. After Canon's Lek, picking up top-end glasses from Sony, I just want to say - "I don't believe it!" Small, light (this is certainly good), but in terms of tactility, there is no "visual professionalism" in them. Adequate to their cost and the type of result produced. Take, for example, 85mm f/1.2L or 50mm f/1.2L and in these huge lenses - "eyes", you want to drown from the quality of workmanship and visual perception. But it's all a matter of taste, I guess.

Perfect product for any user!

This is my sixth Sony camera, I started with the A200. The previous A7 m3 got rid of some shortcomings only with the release of the third firmware. On this camera, stabilization is even better, gorgeous resolution. I met reviews that the matrix has become noisier, but this is understandable, the higher the resolution at the same size, the greater the noise. But with this resolution, noise is easier to remove with a good image with minimal loss. Only now, I feel my computer on i7 will have to be

Pros
  • The experience of using it is still small, then I will unsubscribe in more detail, but the first impression is that everything is fine, even on the first firmware. In the previous camera there were nuances before the release of newer firmware, there are practically no comments on this one. It has all the features you need and it works well.
Cons
  • I had to spend more money, change the mat. board and processor on Ryzen 9 3900 for processing such photos at 61 megapixels 48 bits and video at 100 Mbps :-(

In general, its pretty good, an equal number of pros and cons.

Its pros: The weight and size of the camera, especially noticeable after the Canon 5d mark iv, high resolution shots, the camera holds the white balance perfectly in difficult conditions, good autofocus. Its cons: VERY NOISY MATRIX! At ISO 400, noises are already climbing, it’s already impossible to shoot at 1600 (Terrible menu in the camera, after Canon it’s HELL)

Good product for me, no problems at all.

Very high image detail. The camera was taken for high-resolution photo-scanning of the herbarium, as a result, the quality is high - at the same shooting resolution, the frame looks better than what was previously done by stitching 3 A7R frames. At the same time, unlike the old method, the picture from which was not very good at 100% digital zoom, with this camera you can watch frames at a digital zoom of 150% and they look good, you can set the zoom to 500% and normal to study the details…

Pros
  • image detail
