The Sony A7IV is Sony’s attempt to create the perfect mid-tier camera, and Sony has put a lot of attention into both photography and videography aspects of the camera; the new camera should be a good choice for any hybrid shooter who wants to take great pictures while having good video capability.
The camera is capable of shooting 828 continuous uncompressed RAW plus JPEGs thanks to a more powerful processor and a large buffer combined with faster write speeds of memory cards.
Its vari-angle LCD – also called a “flip-out” screen – makes it easier to capture additional angles than the previous generation tilt design.
Besides having a new 33-megapixel Exmor R back-illuminated CMOS sensor, you are also getting 15 stops of dynamic range for accurate color reproduction. The Sony A7IV brings an impressive autofocusing system as well. Real-time tracking can lock on and keep the pace up with fast-moving subjects, all thanks to Sony’s latest subject recognition algorithm that makes use of color, pattern, and subject distance to process spatial information. The camera also features 759-phase-detect AF points and a 94% image-area coverage that will allow the photographers to keep the subjects in focus regardless of where they are in the scene.
The new Sony A7IV is now available for pre-order and will cost you $2,499. This is a slight increase compared to the price of the A7III back when it was launched, but considering the impressive improvements, this should not be a problem for many.
