Sony Alpha 7 IV Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera (33MP)

“I upgraded to this from my old A7III because I needed something that could handle both high-res product shots for work and decent video for my own projects, and this thing is a beast. The autofocus is genuinely sticky—I can wave a product in front of the lens or turn my back to the camera, and it instantly locks back onto my eye the second I turn around. It's miles ahead of the older models where you'd have to pray it stayed in focus during movement.The video quality is stunning, especially the 10-bit color which lets me actually grade my footage without it falling apart. I was worried about the overheating issues people talk about, but I've run it for 45-minute interviews in 4K without a single warning, though I do keep the screen flipped out just in case. The "Active" stabilization mode is a lifesaver for handheld shots; it adds a tiny crop, but it smooths out those micro-jitters so well I've stopped bringing my gimbal for quick run-and-gun shoots.That said, the 1.5x crop when you shoot 4K 60p is the only real annoyance. It basically turns your 24mm wide lens into a 35mm, so you have to plan your lenses accordingly if you want slow motion. But honestly, for a camera that does photo and video this well in one body, it's a trade-off I'm willing to make. If you're on the fence between this and the SIII, get this if you need the megapixels for photos; you won't regret it.”

“Works well. Good size and comfortable to use. Focuses well and has facial tracking. ISO good, noise doesn't creep in until around the 5000 mark but noise reduction can easily fix that. Good value for money.”
