Sony A7 Full Frame Mirrorless Digital Camera Review

I recently had the pleasure of getting my hands on the Sony A7 IV, and I must say, it's nothing short of a game-changer in the world of mirrorless cameras. Sony has once again raised the bar, delivering a remarkable blend of performance, versatility, and innovation. The A7 IV boasts a 33-megapixel full-frame sensor that delivers stunningly detailed and sharp images. The dynamic range is impressive, capturing a wide spectrum of tones even in challenging lighting conditions. The improved ISO performance ensures clean and noise-free images, making it a versatile companion for various shooting scenarios. Sony's autofocus technology has always been top-notch, and the A7 IV is no exception. The Fast Hybrid AF system with 759 phase-detection points covers a significant portion of the frame, ensuring quick and accurate focus even in low-light situations. Eye autofocus is incredibly reliable, whether shooting portraits or capturing candid moments. While the battery life has seen improvement from its predecessor, it's still advisable to carry an extra battery for a full day of intensive shooting. However, the USB charging feature offers convenient on-the-go charging options. The Sony A7 IV is a true powerhouse in the mirrorless camera market. It excels in image quality, autofocus performance, and overall versatility. Whether you're a professional photographer or an enthusiast looking to take their photography to the next level, the A7 IV is a worthy investment. While the price tag might be steep, the features and performance justify every penny for those who demand the best from their gear. Highly recommended!

I still use full frame larger DSLRs for in-studio portraiture, but for travel, I've moved completely to the Sony mirrorless E-Mount system. I use the A7; this a6000 replaced an NEX-7 (which I gave to a son for his trip). I've used in now for about a month. It is very quick focusing and somewhat better high ISO than the NEX-7. It's a pleasure to use. The menus are the same as the A7; the camera is totally customizable. Images are excellent. Video is also first rate. The only negative thing about the Sony mirrorless cameras is battery life. You have to buy a batch to make it through a single day, which is a bit of a hassle when traveling, because you need multiple chargers to make the next day possible.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used w Sony full frame mirrorless camera and super zoom + wide angle lens. Snug fit but worked. Had small tripod under outside straps and 22 oz water bottle in bottom sleeve. Caught out in a few surprise rain showers, bag interior stayed dry. Loved it for this trip - seems well made for the long haul. Previously only used backpacks; I prefer a sling now.

This is the 3rd one of these that I've bought. I use it with a Sony A7 mirrorless digital camera. I've used it with an ipad, and that works great, but I prefer using it with an iPhone with at teleprompter app. I love this teleprompter. It works perfectly, is well built, and the carry case totally protects the unit. No regrets.

This is great far a cropped-sensor camera or a full-frame mirrorless. I use it for my Sony A7R III. If you need the Black Rapid eyelet with threads to attach your camera (in the tripod socket), then order the strap with the eyelet already as part of the strap. It comes with or without.

Not much to say as this is my first full frame mirrorless camera and Ive only owned Sony's but I enjoy it so far. Huge improvement over my a6000 for both photo and video and I'm using my same lenses. No complaints other than there is something rattling inside the camera but I can only hear it if it's dead quiet and I've got over 15k actuations on the shutter with no issue so... definitely recommend but I'm a bit of a Sony simp. As far as lenses I use a Sony F4 24-105 G OSS lens mostly and then my sigma 16mm and 30mm which both look fantastically crisp even though they were made for the aps-c format. Looking to get a nice 50mm for portrait and landscape then I'll probably update this review with more details once I get a prime made for the full frame.

The Sony a7 IV Mirrorless Camera is probably one of the best in the market for video shooters.

This is the second Sony a7 IV Mirrorless Camera that I buy to have 2 of them to work on my productions.

I have really enjoyed using my Sony A7 but wanted a wider range lens. I have been leery of full frame lenses with a range of wide angle to telephoto, worried about the distortions that my be caused, but I am happily surprised by the performance the Sony FE 24-240MM lens has given me. It is so nice to be able to use one lens most of the time, especially since we do a lot of travelling on vacation. It is heavier and larger than the 28-70mm that came with the camera but it is worth it.
