  • Should you buy the Sony A7IV in 2024?
    The Sony A7IV is in my opinion the best hybrid camera ever made for it's price range. It striked the perfect balance between photo and video features, and didn't lack any major features that we tend to see in a lot of new cameras today. There's a reason why this is still one of the most recommended cameras to this date. We'll also take a look at some of the issues or problems with the A7IV

    After using it for 14 months, clearly a7iv turns out to be my best investment! Such a massive upgrade over the a7iii which I used for 5 years. Now I want a second body that can do 4K 50p without crop!!

    • @StefanoLombardoYT

    I was so happy back in the day with the a6000 and a couple sigma primes…Went from a6000 to a7iii and fell in love all over again. Now it’s happening again…owning the a7iii 5 years to getting the a7iv today.

    I've been contemplating getting the s5iiX for a few weeks now, but every time i edit the 10bit s-log3 files in my a7iv, I just can't pull the trigger. This is the best camera ever for shooting on the sticks. Top Notch Content Upload!

    Hello! Thank you very much for the video. I just bought my a7iv and I can't set it at 1/50 for my videos, neither in NTSC nor PAL 😢. Jump from 1/45 to 1/60 and here on the latam, 1/50 is needed to avoid the flicker of the LED lights.

    Thanks for the video. I have the a9 and I needed a backup camera. I just picked up the a7 iv two days ago. I experienced the over heating on it the first day. Only thing I did was updating the firmware. I am not much into video part with this camera, so it will be for photos. I heard about putting external battery may help. I put battery grips on all my cameras, I got one battery grip yesterday. I will try it this weekend.

    Thanks for this video. I just bought a Sony A7 IV. While I contemplated the AI focus in the A7C I thought this looked like a solid purchase still as someone who wanted to get into photography and video more but didn't need every bell and whistle. And if the trend fits it looks like I will still be using it long after they move to a new model as I see people still post how they love their A7 II and A7 III

    I’ve had the a7iv for 2 years. Recently bought the a7cii. For my used, I think the a7cii is a better camera. Smaller, lighter and great as a travel camera along with the 20mm 1.8 and the 24-105. I’m keeping the a7iv. It’s still a great camera.

    That thing overheats shooting long videos. I'll get frustrated with it shooting videos with it. No active cooling in it. For photos though, the quality is really good. I have the GH6 because it has that fan in it to do active cooling while shooting these videos. I still want the a7iv though. Since its full frame. Still can make shorts on CZcams with it, it'll have no problem doing that, thats where its going now with content creators now.

    • @Wistbacka
      @Wistbacka Před 2 měsíci

      If your goal is to make shorts, you dont need full frame.
      That said, A7Iv does have an option to increase the threshold for overheating warning. Most reviewers do not complain about overheating after that is switched
      If you want a dedicated full frame camera for video, Panasonic S5 or S5ii is the way to go. Less lens options, but much more video settings options.
      G6 is most likely the best bang for your buck for video. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I am a hybrid shooter , I do prefer to shoot in 60fps but also this content is more or less for social media and hopefully CZcams . but also a note I am coming from canon m50 line so I do need to buy lenses so any insight into this would be helpful.

    Yeah, it doesn’t get the same recognition the a7iii got because it wasn’t the revolutionary camera the a7iii was upon release but it really is the best full frame hybrid camera at this price range. The a7cii is a hardware downgrade regardless of the form factor, canon isn’t open to third party lens manufacturers and the Lumix is stacked for video only.
