Alpha 7 IV

If I wasn’t more into video I’d have picked up a Canon or Nikon. Didn’t like Sony (A7iv) when I used them but they were a better overall in-camera photography experience than Lumix, despite the photos out of camera on the S5 having nicer colours. Why don’t you rent one of the lumix telephotos and se

I’ve owned the A7IV previously and the AF is very comparable to the Expeed 7 Nikon cameras (although much worse than the Z8 which I have now). I will say I always found Sony files were the hardest to edit in Lightroom. Nikon files seem to edit the best in my experience (with Canon just behind but ah

I had much the same experience with the A7iv, I'm happier with my Z5ii and the output from it even though the A7iv was thoroughly competent. The resolution has nothing to do with it, it's all in the lens design (which is pretty wildly different between some of the lenses in the system) and the colou

Nah. If you are not amateur’s or into the hobby, the expense of buying a mirrorless camera or related one, along with the glass is not worth it. A great 70-200 mm or 600mm is at least $2200 nevermind the camera body. In total it can set you back $5000. Not to mention the learning curve that comes wi

Sony is groundbreaking at times, but also just breaking sometimes. Like they move fast, but can release firmware that bricks a camera to the point of needing a new main board (600usd anyone?). Nikon may be slow in innovation (alongside canon) but they are reliable. Nikon does have the advantage of a

A camera I actually enjoy shooting with. Lenses are pretty simple and boils down to rendering and IQ, weight and size. They are passive tools. Your camera is the active tool you need to know the ins and outs of. I loved shooting on my EOS RP; the ergonomics were brilliant. However it lacked buttons

I'm losing my mind.

I recently purchased a used Sony Alpha 7 iv that arrived running on version 1.20.
All guidance that I could find suggested I shouldn't have to download an intermediate version before updating to the current version (5.01) if the camera is running on 1.05 and up.

This happened to me with both a Tough 128GB V90 and a V60. I tested both cards on three different A7IV and one FX3. The behaviour was exactly the same on all of them: when the card is empty, there are no issues recording either photos or videos. Once a certain amount of video has been recorded and t

Not a pro, and it may purely be my aesthetic preferences. Came from a Sony A7IV (and earlier A7 models, using GM glass) to Leica Q2/3. But it took about 3x the time it takes with a Leica file to achieve the “look” I want. Was Nikon before that, and Nikon was easier too (but Leica is the easiest by f

I am glad you told me that I don't miss that. I was mistaken, now I know how to feel. Thank you. Of course Sony's "my dial settings" doesn't allow me to assign focus mode or metering mode to a dial, so no, it doesn't really match my experience with Nikon. Maybe it's my a7IV and better cameras allow
