The Sony A7IV is my Favorite All Purpose Camera
Adam Talks Tech
What's in the box
From the manufacturer
33MP back-illuminated CMOS full-frame sensor
Copper wiring contributes to higher transmission speeds and faster AD (analogue to digital) conversion. Fast sensor readout enables 10-bit 4:2:2 4K recording up to 60p. The sensor also provides improved color reproducibility, low-noise performance, 15+stop dynamic range and increased AF speed.
BIONZ XR image processor up to 8x processing speed
The BIONZ XR engine, also used in the Sony Alpha 1 and Alpha 7S III models, provides up to an 8x increase in processing speed. The engine concentrates real-time processing of AF, image recognition and image quality adjustment to minimize processing latency for greatly increased processing power.
4K 60p recording and 4:2:2 10-bit recording
Full pixel readout without binning allows 4K 60p recording in Super 35 mode providing high-resolution smooth footage that can be edited to 2x and 2.5x slow-motion when rendered to 30p or 24p in post-production, and 4K 24p or 30p full pixel readout without binning in full-frame with 7K oversampling.
Beautiful color expression, with S-Cinetone
The Alpha 7 IV supports S-Cinetone, based on expertise gained through development of the VENICE CineAlta professional cinema camera line. It delivers natural mid-tones for healthy-looking skin color, plus soft colors and gorgeous highlights.
Real-time Eye-AF for humans, animals, and birds
The high speed of the latest image BIONZ XR processing engine provides a significant boost to Real-time Eye AF performance, even when the subject is looking up, down, or sideways. It is also possible to use Touch Tracking to initiate Real-time Tracking of any subject in the frame.
Fast Hybrid AF with improved speed and tracking
759 phase-detection AF points and 425 contrast-detection AF points with a wide coverage of roughly 94% of the image area for both stills and movie. This vast collection of data is analyzed in real time by the latest powerful BIONX XR processing engine to achieve the AF system's impressive results.

The other thing I noticed is how this camera body is about twice as thick as the original A7. If you liked how small the A7 was well... expect the A7IV to be more of the thickness of most other cameras. The thickness from what I understand is the sensor stabilization which by the way the original A7 didn't have. I used to use a monopod with the A7 because no stabilization meant handshake was a very real issue. With the A7IV I can get very sharp images in hand without worry.
One other thing. This camera's ISO has some dual sensor business going on. It's both a good and bad thing. It's good because if you shoot at 100ISO or 400ISO your images will look almost identical on noise. The bad is if you shoot at 125, 160, 200, 250 or 320. Someone that doesn't know this may get less sharp images when you need to increase ISO over 100. Do yourself a favor and just shoot at 100 and 400 for most instances then over 400 as usual.
I noticed reviewers complaining about the camera menu, but if your coming from another A7 you'll understand the menu quite easily.
All other specs were about what I expected. The massive increase in AF points, better video recording, full HDMI slot, dual SD card slots, etc. Also no wall charger for battery... really Sony? Don't be Apple please.
So far the camera is doing well, picture quality is insane compared to the A7iii. Certainly the better of the two as it was meant to be.
Will update again if something comes up.
I will not get into the specifics and technical details about this camera because I’m not the right guy to do it. I’m still learning but I am very, very satisfied with this camera. I also very much like the G Master lenses. They are pricey but they are also very, very good lenses. The G Master f/1.2 50mm prime? Wow!
I have to give this camera five stars because it is a jack of all trades even if a master of none. Sony may have saved some of it’s master-class attributes for other more expensive models and that’s fine. For my purposes, a multitool camera is exactly what I wanted.
The file size uncompressed is 62 MB which is perfect, the colors and sharpness is great.

Many criticize sony for saving on some features such as custom luts, heavy codecs, and monitoring capabilities, I think the situation here is similar to what happens in the world of mobile phones - iPhone just works despite all of its limitations, and Android manufacturers just throw more features and hardware to make a good impression.
As for this particular camera, it's like a sequel to Avatar... after A73 everyone expected it to be better in every regard, and that's exactly what Sony did. Its 10bit, its ALL-INTRA, its got h265 codec, its got the best eye tracking AF in the industry, its got slog3 and scinetone. There's just not much room to improve to impress customers anymore!
I see thermals on this camera are often criticized here. I tell you this; the only occasion where I had it overheating was a 6-hour straight interview, which we shot in one piece in 4K 10bit 422. It overheated 2 times that day. 6 hours! For run-and-gun type of shoots, it never overheats.
Also a lot of negative comments from people who clearly have no idea how to use a professional camera. They complain about "sensor issues" and "bending" while they shoot with fluorescent light at 30fps and their shutter at 1/250, they complain about overheating without even checking the "High temperature" menu, they argue that a 33PM sensor should allow 60fps from the full size of the sensor...
To all buyers I'd suggest taking it for what it is - $2500 FF camera, that does 33MP photos and 10 bit FF video in codecs comparable to prores all this with the industry's leading autofocus capabilities.
Amazing camera ...as expected! Had to wait for my copy for 2 months after the preorder upon release though.

There are lots of benefits from A7C to A7iv however, if you are doing mostly video;
please stay far away. Sony A7iv gets very warm and frequently turns off due to overheating.
Another problem is that I've ordered a product from Amazon Warehouse deals and took a video unboxing it.
I found couple dust and ?scratch that I was not able to remove with my blower.
Amazon CS will not let me return it for free. ??? Buyers beware.

I also don't recommend purchasing cameras on Amazon because they will take forever in giving you back your refund. Camera was sent back to the warehouse last November 18 and I still haven't received any updates on my refund. Contact customer service and they will all tell you the same thing - to wait. Never buying expensive electronics on Amazon again.
