Many appreciate its ease of use and the improved autofocus system, particularly the eye-autofocus feature. However, some find the camera's price to be expensive and the menu system challenging to navigate. The large file sizes produced by the camera are also a point of concern for some users.

Before buying this camera I was a bit nervous, Coming from using the Canon T7 and Canon m50. Decided to give it a go and OMG!! I am super glad that I took the chance in buying it. I Love it so much with no regrets. I bought it with the Sony 50mm F1.8 and now I have the Sony 85mm F1.8 And I got the Sony Battery Grip.. Currently saving up for my next lens. The Sony G Master FE 16-35mm F2.8 Wide Angle Lens... You will love this camera...

I thought long and hard about what camera to upgrade to now that there are so many nice mirrorless cameras on the market. I liked the new Canon but when I weighed all the pros and cons... the Sony A7Riv just came out on top. I have used it on a couple dedicated photography trips now and am very happy with my purchase. I pair this to the new tamron 70-300 zoom and it does a very respectable job. Eventually... I plan to get a 200-600 zoom but for now, the smaller lightweight tamron has decent reach and is a breeze to carry. I especially like the ability to program the A7Riv. It allows me to set it up so all the settings I need to change on the fly are quick and simple. I also like the improved grip over the A7Riii. This camera is so much nicer to hold. With the previous version... it was too cramped to hold comfortably but the Riv gives just enough extra grip for my right hand to make it comfortable to shoot even extended wildlife sessions. I've bought 4 of my cameras from Best Buy now and try my best to support the local brick and mortar shops rather than just mailorder. We all need to remember buying local means jobs and tax revenue for our local towns.

Sony A7RIV

Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.

Having moved from the A7iii, the learning curve was short. Having the ability to crop a 61mp photo is great, but the ability to have the extended reach in crop mode is better. All my lenses now have 1.5 times the reach all with 26MP.
Yes the RAW files are large, but I have a custom desktop that's primarily for photo work, so the processing power or file storage isn't an issue. Most of my edited files are 32MB.
I'm very glad with this purchase and would highly recommend. I even got it at a $300 discount. Thank you Best Buy

I own this and an a7iii. This camera is incredible. I love my a7iii and didn't think the a7r4 would wow me as much as it has. Here's some pros and cons
Pros: locking dials, much better grip for people with big hands, buttons and joystick are improved, viewfinder is amazing, auto focus is insane and of course 61 mp
Cons- this shouldn't be a surprise but some people don't think about it right away. The file sizes are huge so you'll need some fast writing memory cards if you shoot continous drive mode. The average card that writes at 250 or 300 mb/s is around 150 to 200 a piece. If you're buying this camera and aren't shooting one photo at a time, just be prepared to drop 350 to 400 on cards that can keep up with the camera.
I highly recommend this camera

Pros:
* Intelligent, fast and precise auto focus
* 61mp resolution allows extensive cropping and manipulation
* Very granular customization options
* Great availability of native and 3rd party lenses (finally)
Cons:
* Battery life is atrocious, even realizing the performance you're getting out of it. But 670 CIPA vs 1300 on Canon 90D is serious downgrade.
* Battery charger comes with a cable instead of built-in plug, one more thing to carry around and possibly lose.
* Viewfinder is dark (obviously, because it's electronic) while camera is waking up from sleep.

This is a 1 year after review. Bought this camera last year and have been using it a lot since and let me tell you it’s an amazing camera it holds up well and the high pixels combined with the GM lens gives super sharp and nice pictures. The built of this camera is top quality, the sensor is fast and has a ton of features. It’s a great camera over all

With 60 megapixels, this camera is an absolute beast when it comes to resolution. Sony has improved the feel and ergonomics of the body so that it is the most comfortable yet. If you're looking for uncompromising image quality, this camera is it. Be warned, the file sizes of the raw images are huge (around 100MB each). You may need to upgrade your storage situation.

Bought this camera to get into mirrorless cameras and switched from a Nikon SLR. This camera takes a bit getting used to from my Nikon habits, but super capable and easy to use once familiar with the controls. This is heavier than I originally expected it to be, but not in a bad way. A bit pricey, but no so much more when compared with comparable models from competitors.
