I think the point here is, "Fix the ex comp so that it doesn't accidentally change, but (at the same time) keep the process of shooting natural". Perhaps a solution like, depressing the knob to twist would have been a better way to address it. Yeah, his response sounded a bit ... crazy lol, but I get what he's saying. The request was actually "fix the problems, but don't break up any natural flows that happen during creativity". Now, there will be trollers who say, "I have no problem pushing a button and then twisting, and then re-pushing the button..." (and for tech guys, we can always figure it out...) but i don't believe that's what he was trying to suggest. Just my thoughts...

As someone who has used a Sony camera extensively for the past three years, I can say that going to a used Nikon DSLR system for surf photography has been just as bad if not worse than you describe Tony. The Nikon menus are crazy compared to the Sony. Thankfully, I can reference one of your time-stamped videos for help, but they initially made little sense to me. After a few weeks, I got used to them. As far as sensor dust, I've had to clean my Sony twice in three years. I always turn the camera off when changing lenses, and it may be helpful to remove the battery to remove any static charge from the sensor. My Nikon gets dust on the sensor too. It's just harder to clean with the mirror setup. My Sony has a nice wireless remote for off-camera triggering, while my Nikon uses a cable. For time exposures, I have to remember to lift the mirror and close the viewfinder; otherwise, I get blur and light leaks. Mirrorless doesn't have that problem. For street photography and shooting in churches, the ability to use a silent shutter on the Sony is terrific. My D800 shutter is so loud, it's embarrassing. Definitely not a street camera. Sony has a tilt screen, the D800 doesn't. My back appreciates that. But the most significant difference is the weight. Carrying a backpack with my Sony and a couple of lenses is nothing. Carrying my Nikon and some big glass is a whole lot heavier. Bottom line, a used Nikon is a great option when you want to use more expensive lenses as there are many more used lenses to choose from. Sony is a great all-around camera. It's perfect for street, fantastic for weddings, and gives excellent results in low light. It really comes down to what you get familiar with. Just create a time-stamped video on the A7R4, and you'll get fantastic traffic.

You’ve made the great mistake of giving Tony’s very reasonable video a very reasonable answer. I share your feelings about Nikon menus, which I find just as frustrating as Sony’s. The saving grace for Sony is its configurability. Taking into account the TWO quick-menus (one for video, one for stills), the many configurable buttons, the my-dial and the my-menu, I hardly even need to use the “regular” menu during a session-and I love being able to switch between crop-mode and full-frame with the press of a button. My only real complaint is that I’d like 3-5 more configurable buttons or an extra dial, which would be the equivalent of 5 more buttons.

I'm super careful to change lenses quickly (one in my hand ready to go on before the other comes off) and to have my back to the wind.
@m.maclean89115 жыл бұрын
If you compared this Sony to a D850 and not a dinosaur you wouldn’t have those complaints. Pressing 1 button to lock the mirror up (which protects the sensor) makes it harder to clean? The one time in 2 years you need to do it? I had a wireless trigger even back when I owned the D800. D850 shoots silent, has a tilting touchscreen, automatically sends your photos & videos to your phone, has dual cards, backlit buttons, fast and accurate focus tracking, huge buffer that doesn’t cripple the camera, long battery life, etc. You said carrying a “Sony with a couple of lenses is nothing” yet carrying a “Nikon with Big Glass is a whole lot heavier’. Since the glass is the heavy part of your gear, of course if you take Big Glass for the Nikon and small glass for the Sony it will be heavier, and you will get way better results with the big glass. LOL - try comparing the same things. When you carry Big Glass the difference in the weight of the body is meaningless. In fact the smaller mirrorless bodies do not balance as well when using Big Glass, and are much harder to hold and operate unless you have small hands. I don’t have small hands. I always have the grip on my D850 bodies. That’s one of the reasons why I bought the D850 after trying out the Z7 ... but there are a lot of advantages that made it an easy decision. One day Nikon will release a mirrorless that is geared for pros, capable of matching the performance of the D850. Hopefully it will be the same pro size as the D850.

Had some thoughts after watching: 1) Yeah, sure, the buffer fills up. But consider you took at least 45 continuous shots at 61 megapixels and it doesn't seem so crazy. I shoot sports and RARELY, EVER shoot more than 15-20 continuous frames. You just don't need to hold that button down like that. And if you are, that's another issue entirely. 2) You made a lot of comparisons to the fact that your phone wireless backs up pics to the cloud. Again, going back to 61 megapixels, and it doesn't seem so crazy that the camera is missing that wireless feature. iPhones, for all of their photographic power, are not professional cameras. They don't have the settings, functions, pixels, and overall customization that is housed in a pro body. I'll admit they should have GPS on a camera like this, but comparing the A7R IV to your Apple Watch -- which I don't think takes pictures -- is a bit of a stretch. 3) 360 flip touchscreen should be universal at this point. People don't mind the extra heft on a camera body if it means they don't have to lay on the ground and navigating menus is easier. Trust me. 4) Yeah, that menu sucks. UNTIL you set it up yourself. The best camera is the one you know how to use. But, it's important to remember pro cameras are complex computers. They take time to get used to. When I switched from my little Rebel T3i to the 5D lineup, there was a learning curve. Even in the same camera ecosystem. Flipping back and forth between different camera manufacturers means you won't ever have everything you want in a camera.

Hey Matt. . .I'm an older photographer (started out in the film days) and I absolutely LOVE the advancements in camera tech . . .You're comments are some of the best I've read, but I must say that many of the others really sound almost silly. The ability to take fantastic photos with almost any camera these days is terrific. But the complaining and nit-picking that I read in many comments sounds like a spoiled child stamping his feet because he didn't get everything he wanted for Christmas. If someone considers themselves a good photographer they should be able to take an "older" DSLR out and still come back with some amazing photos. Yes, the newer "higher-tech" cameras will make it easier to do that, but it almost sounds like people aren't going to be happy until their camera damn near does everything for them. Don't get me wrong, I really love all the new advancements, I just think people should really appreciate how great cameras are these days, and quit complaining so much. Technology will continue to evolve, cameras will keep getting even more amazing, but in the meantime just get out there and get some great shots with the cameras you already have (or can afford). I have a young neighbor who is just getting into photography. She cannot afford the latest and greatest equipment and she's wondering if maybe this just isn't something she should pursue. She showed me her camera and some of her photos. . .No, she doesn't have the latest and greatest camera and lenses. . .BUT what she does have is a great eye and visual talent. I've encouraged her and told her NOT to listen to the people who have told her she can't get great shots because her camera isn't the latest or as good as theirs. I told her to just continue to develop as a visual artist with the camera she has, and when she can afford the latest tech she'll really be ready for it. It just seems the obsession with specs and tech these days has kind of gone over the top. I work with a guy who constantly talks about the specs of his camera. He showed me some of his photos and believe me they were NOT special in any way. He laughed when I told him the camera I was using at the time. . .and he NEVER asked to see any of my work. He just assumed my photos couldn't be any good and he wasn't interested in seeing them. . .And he then started spouting the specs of the newest camera he was going to buy next. I'm just getting tired of that kind of attitude that I'm running into more often these days. But you made some good points, especially that the best camera is the one you know how to use. . .You're so right!

There is much to love about what you are doing, and in many instances you are listening to your users. But this list of complaints has been around for a while, and has not yet been fixed. One of my top complaints, covered by Tony, is the poor way in which you handle the switch between stills and video. I far prefer what Nikon has done on the Z7 and Z6, where you have a switch to move between the two modes, and all the settings for each mode can be different. Of course as a video shooter, I want to fix my shutter speed at 1/50th or 1/60th of a second, but when I am shooting stills, I want to use Aperture priority mode. Trying to use the 1,2, and 3 settings on the mode dial is only a partial solution, and drives me mad. Despite all of this, I still love your products, - but PLEASE fix these issues. Thank you!

This is coming from me having used Sony since the NEX period. So I've been accustomed to their menus, and find them easy to navigate.

Hi Tony, I really appreciate you detailed reviews like this where you gnaw on the flaws even though you love the camera. Gives us the info necessary to make the informed decision re: purchasing new equipment. FYI, many of us live with somewhat flawed equipment because we can only afford new equipment every 4 or 5 years. For me now, eye AF and 5 axis stabilization are big deals. I will give up time in preparation (sensor cleaning, menu setup, etc) for a smoother shoot with use of those desired features. I really, really appreciate your reviews. Keep them coming.

I inherited a Zeiss Ikon camera from my father. He obtained it in Germany in 1952, many years before my birth. He took the most beautiful pictures I've seen with it when I was home from college in the eighties with my lovely partner. He had the exposure and details in his heart. Auto meant to him that he didn't have to shift gears in his car.

After shooting away dozens of 61MP images in machine gun style, the buffer has to clear. What about only shoot as much as you need? I mean even in sports? Who wants to wade through hundreds of nearly identical photos to find out the 3 or 4 perfect ones? Those are ridiculous expectations. Probably it is a KZbinrs job to complain for the sake of complaining. Nothing to do with good or less: with professional photography. A pro shooter does not have hours of time to transfer and select in hundreds or thousands of photos what he hasn't got right at the time of shooting. If this goes on, in a few years people will shoot 20fps for 2 minutes to cover an entire race or whatever, they will then have 2400 shots. Then they will complain that after 2:01min the new Sony will start to stutter whereas the Nikon (if they are still around) will go on shooting at slow 6fps till the card is full. Then they complain that they cannot let the camera select the best pic via A.I. and automatically get it edited in- camera and uploaded to the web. Then why can the camera not simultaneously shoot stills at 20fps and record video at 4k 120p??? What a lamer. By the way 4k is so 2016, I expected 6k by now, what is Sony thinking? "Deeply flawed"? Honestly, I think this kind of apoproach to photography is "deeply flawed". But this is - of course - only my personal opinion, and yet have a nice Christmas. Those are only first world problems.

THIS video is ON POINT. Lets keep these in mind, and Tony is speaking from a PRO shooters need. Just because you do portraits, or landscape, does not make you like all PRO shooters. a Pro camera covers all, or at least most shooting needs of all photographers. So keep these issues on your short list...(sure there are a few things he mentions that are not directly related to shooting or viewing in the camera, that I wouldnt mix) Here below is the list... Have ANY of these been fixed in the A7R3 or 4? 1. How fast does it playback a file at 100% magnified view, and how fast will the next file display? (VERY SLOW on A7R2. How much has memory improved on the A&R3or4? Speed comparison?) #2. Deal breaker; Can we finally change settings like aperture or shutter speed while the camera is "busy" buffering? #3. Electronics. I still have issues with the 55/F1.8 doing continuous AF while I have Single shot selected. Issues like this still around. Have the electronic bugs been fixed? #4 Have they improved the USB and HDMI ports? Even using the cord manager and being careful, with little use I had my USB port stop working. Sent in for pricey repair. #5 have they improved the memory card slot and door? Sounds like it. I had to have mine repaired. #6. Is the card reader less picky? Often I have to reinsert. Also, the write folders are CRAP. Why cant it be simple and logical folder structure? #7. Any menu improvements? I think not. Just good customization. #8. Very important; can we shoot in 30, 40, or 50mpixel raw size in FF mode? Selectable resolution. Sounds simple enough, but?? #9. Can we magnify focus when in Auto focus mode? Are other lens restrictions removed? Contrary to how great the camera is, these are just amateur toy like restrictions.

You speak my language here. I have the A7RIII and A9 - all of these issues are so prevalent on these bodies as well - in particular sensor dust and hitting that exposure adjustment dial - I had thought the lock on the IV would have fixed it, but clearly has just introduced new issues. All of the other issues are so true for the older bodies as well - and it is a shame Sony has not addressed these. BUT, I love the cameras. I was a dedicated full-frame Nikon user and I loved those cameras, until I switched to Sony. Design wise, terrible, but as a basic photographic tool ,they are great. Finally, I cannot agree more about binary reviews - thanks for being so pragmatic and "human". Good stuff.
@croasdail5 жыл бұрын
Ok...... the menu thing... I've been shooting Sony now for about three years. I hardly ever need to go into them. I have my setup, and it works for majority of conditions. The exposure compensation know complaint is a bit odd - you decide if it is locked or not... not a camera problem. That said, dust is a bonafide issue. Its one that almost had me leave Sony. Dust in images is such a time waster. And sometimes is to the level that it damages the images to the point of not being worth fixing. I've kinda solved the problem by using anti-static air spray to clean the sensor. Works every time, and sensors stay clean for a lot longer. But I also know it isn't advised to spray concentrated air directly on the sensor.... but it works so I keep doing it.
@waltervanlille22635 жыл бұрын
For me, the connectivity complaints are valid, as well as the functionality lock on buffering, and flip-screen limitations. The exposure lock complaint sounds like complaining for the sake of complaining. Ditto with the menu system. I learnt the Sony menus, and between the customisable quick menus and just learning where my most used items are kept, I really have no issue with Sony menus. In fact, if I had to choose between Sony menus and Olympus menus, I much prefer the Sony. Sensor dust issue? I don't know if you're just unlucky or if I'm lucky (or more careful), but I've only had to clean my sensor twice in a year's worth of use of my Alpha cam.

Normally I agree fully with you but as an ex-internet and computer security specialist, I had the camera repair shop disable all wireless connections in my D850. Because others can fully monitor a person via smartphones, I went back to the old type that can only text and talk. I do a lot of confidential and classified photography, plus glamour and boudoir and nudes that the majoriiy of my clients would never want to see on the internet. I am always amazed at how little people know about security and privacy. I don't touch the cloud nor Facebook for the same reasons. Photo and video files are always transferred by plugging the memory card into my TEMPESTed computer - though I doubt that you know what that is, and never via a non physical link. A pain in the butt but I know that my photos and videos are secure - and it pays off because my clients know it also. Oh yeah, I even still use Photoshop/Premiere CS6 because I never ever have to go online with my full tower powerhouse computer. And I know a lot of photographers that now use Corel products because they don't have to go online as they do with Adobe (though I haven't had to hit that learning curve yet). Some of us worry about security, some of us don't. FYI.......

I'm an owner of the Canon 5dsr and one sticking point with me is when I use the 70 - 200mm lens hand held. There is always motion blur no matter how high my shutter speed is or how steady I think I'm holding the camera - for example shooting a swan swimming parallel to the camera 1/5000, f7.1 lens all the way out to 200mm and I was braced against a tree. Not one photo was crisp - and I don't mean when zoomed in later in LR. I've been told it is because of the 50 mega pixel sensor combined with the lens that makes it do that. Each time I've shot that way - long lens hand held - it happens. How does the a7r iv stand up to hand holding a long lens on it when the subject is moving?

I've had my A7RIV since the 23rd August and have changed lenses a lot and have not had any sensor dust issues, maybe there was dust already in your camera which is resurfacing.

Hi Tony: I have just returned from two weeks in a very dry and dusty Okavango Delta (Botswana), and while I can partially agree with you about the buffering, you are just asking for trouble by shooting JPEG and RAW together, especially @ 61 Megapixels, you also slow your frame rate down. Why would you do that in the bush? I shoot in short bursts, and even though we witnessed 2 x wild dog hunts/ chases/kills from A-Z, I shot the extremely fast action in short bursts and captured pretty much all the important action. I get what you say about shooting sports. I also shoot surfing and rugby, and as long as I shoot in short bursts, I don't really miss much action.... Just saying... I just shoot to a card and switch off the replay facility, occasionally chimping to check how I went. Just going through 16,500 images shot over 13 days, the vast majority are good, so IMHO shooting RAW ( Compressed) and JPEG is unnecessary, and just wastes time and fills cards! (I shoot 128 Gig UHSii cards and was getting 2,015 - 2,018 images per card on the A7Riv...) I also used the APSC-Super 35 crop feature which really makes this camera something really special. I never change lenses in the field because of dust in the bush. I must (respectfully) tell you that I have had no ingress of dust on my A7Riv, so I always shoot two rigs side-by-side for speed, versatility and to reduce any dust ingress..... I tried the A7Riv on my SONY 400mm f2.8 + 2x TC which was great, but using the APSC- Super 35 crop mode 1,200mm @f5.6 was difficult to keep absolutely steady, even shooting at high shutter speeds which I always try to maximise. Next to that I had one of my A9i's on my 100mm - 400mm +1.4x TC, so I switched them over, and then the A7Riv was absolutely a perfect match. The A7Riv and the 100mm - 400mm +1.4x TC is a match made in Heaven. Extremely sharp, light and great in low light also. I understand the purpose of this video, and it would be great to have all the wish list you mention, but then you would be paying twice as much! However, when SONY bring out the new sensors which refresh at 120x per second, I have no doubt you will get your wish list... Until then, there is NO camera yet on the market that delivers everything that you are wanting :-) Keep up the great work. Best regards IG: timdriman

I use the crop feature mainly for composing an image, knowing that it will be more accurate and also I still have the 26 Megapixels....

Tony you had the lens off waving the camera body around! It might get dust in it, just saying! Also sensor cleaning function, works sometimes. My Nikon DSLR's always had dust issues too but I have switched to Sony anyways AND when on a serious shoot I always will use a rocket blower prior with any and every body no matter what I'm using just to make sure. I don't ever chance that! Because if your dust spot winds up in the center of someone's eye you can't always fix that.

- Not possible switching to video while buffering could be a problem. But switching to crop mode, well, I would just take the full frame picture and crop it afterwards. I know most photographers don't want to slow down their workflow, but I don't mind cropping my photos, you have 61MP to work with. - Connectivity: although the app is rated 2.5 star, I have absolutely no problem using the app. I could also get 2MP samples to my phone quickly so I could share it. - Menu: How often do you change your settings? I don't change them often. Canon's menu just looks very much alike, what's wrong with Sony's Menu? Canon also has main tabs on top, and 6 pages of menu under that tap. And comparing a camera to a smart phone is ridiculous. However, not being able to select options by touch is weird, that I agree. - Dust: I agree dust is a problem. I wish Sony cameras close the shutter, just like Canon, when switching lenses.

I hate sensor dust on my A7 III. I only have one lens, always on the body, still sometimes get new dust on the sensor. The hack with closed shutter like on EOS R should be possible with the firmware update, but will Sony do it?
