Sony Alpha 7 IV - hands-on test
The update everyone has been waiting for!
With the Alpha 7 III, Sony launched a photo/video hybrid camera in 2018 that left hardly anything to be desired for the price segment. The a7 III was not only a good and frequent choice for amateur photographers and videographers, but was also highly praised and enjoyed by many professionals. It is still the most sold camera in our country. However, many have now been waiting for a successor to the popular system camera for quite some time. Year after year, the rumor mill bubbled, but Sony always conjured something else out of the hat. This year, the time has finally come - Sony presents the Alpha 7 IV!
You can find out what new features the camera has and whether the upgrade is worth it in our video.
Everything new on the outside!
Well, new at least for the normal Sony 7 series. We have the revised body here, which was also used on the Sony Alpha 7s III or Alpha 1. You hate it, or love it, but a swiveling display is also included. The mode wheel is now split, for quick switching between photo and video with the same settings. The video record button has also now moved to a place where you won't accidentally press it and where it also makes more ergonomic sense. Where we really took a leap of joy, however, was with the ports. We FINALLY have a full-size HDMI port. Thanks Sony!
