Rank #1 in Best Mirrorless Cameras 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why the Spec Tables Lie
Sony Alpha 7 IV with 28-70mm Lens
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Sony Alpha 7 IV with the 28-70mm zoom lens sits at number one in this guide, listed at £1,720.00 with a rating of 4.7 out of 5 from 425 ratings. It is the full-frame body whose own bullets call it a "33MP full-frame Exmor R back-illuminated CMOS sensor" — and whose spec table, in the field marked Effective Still Resolution, says "33 Pixels". The same table, in the Rear Webcam Resolution field, says "33 MP". One listing, two fields, a factor of one million between them. That is the kind of thing this page is for: the numbers worth checking are the ones the listing contradicts itself on.
So read the list below as a reading of the Amazon listing, not as a verdict on the camera. Every figure here — the price, the rating, the resolution claims, the weight — is copied from that listing. We have not measured the sensor, counted the pixels, weighed the body, or shot a single frame with it. Where the listing disagrees with itself, we show both numbers rather than picking one.
How those 425 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.7 stars.
