When shooting wildlife with the A7R4 you really want to enable compressed RAWs. Yes that is lossy, but no, it doesn't matter for daytime action. That way you get double the buffer, way faster buffer clearing and, most importantly, the full advertised speed (Hi = 8fps with or Hi+ = 10fps without life view update). I use Hi+ in short bursts and rarely run into buffer issues.

I think the issue is Sony comes out with too many camera models for doing different things. While no doubt the A9 II is better in BIF, it isn't better in resolution as the A7R IV. Canon, on the other hand, tries to incorporate everything into one camera, namely resolution, AF and frame rate all in one. But, amongst many Sony wildlife pros, if they had to pick one between the A9/A9 II or the A7R IV, many tend to prefer the A7R IV over the A9/A9 II.

The A7RVI only experiences blackout at full 10fps, you can drop it down to 8fps and you lose the blackout. Personally I feel that the 2 fps difference is minor compared to missing shots because of blackout. Of course those are just advertised numbers, I would say it is closer to 7fps with compressed raws. * I 100% agree though, if you are doing wildlife the a9 II is the way to go. Sure you lose the massive 61MP, but there is no use in high MP if you can't get the ideal shot in the first place.

You make a great point The Sony's R series cameras will never design for the kind of quick shooting and tracking that she's trying to do at least in this video.

Yeah, there is always going to be something better, but that comes down to being a better photographer, than just spray and pray. Also, I'm not going to loose thousands of dollars to KEH, to switch to another line when every year or two, camera bodies change or firmware updates fix the previous issues.

I had the money to spend this year, and thought long and hard between the A7rIV and the R5. I waited until I could try the R5 out at a store demo, and I rented the A7rIV the same week. I went with the R5, and couldn't be happier. Yes, the dynamic range is better with the Sony, but it's good with the Canon, and they fixed the issue with banding in low light. The camera is just so much more usable, and seconds can matter when you're in a live situation. The 20 fps and excellent EVF really make a difference, and it's almost impossible to fill the buffer. I set one of my back buttons to toggle between the different focus modes without taking my eye from the viewfinder. I also eliminated a few of the focus options since there were actually too many. I watched every Tony and Chelsea video on the subject at the time of purchase, and they were all a huge help in my decision. This video cements my belief that i made the right choice. I'm currently using a Sigma150-600mm for wildlife, but I plan on getting the 800mm Canon too. Thanks again.

I own the sony a7riv and the 200-600 lens and while I do agree the blackout is an issue, as far as the frames per second your only getting 4-5 because your shooting in the compressed raw... if you switch it to uncompressed raw you will be getting the 10 frames per second and you will not see any difference in picture quality ... not only that but it will double the time it takes to fill the buffer , if not more...it will also clear your buffer roughly twice as fast and you’ll be saving massive storage because the photos are half the size ( more room on the sad card and your computer hard drive ) I think you should have also talked about going into apsc crop mode which is like a built in teleconverter.. it will turn the RIV into a 28 megapixel and you will never hit the buffer ( not never but it takes a long time ) and it clears your buffer almost instantly.... So while I agree with what you said about it you made it seem like its not a good wildlife camera.. dynamic range is good but there is also many qualities that it has to make it a great wildlife camera.... fair review just feel that you could have said more to not make it seem so bad i also have the a9ii and i use the RIV just as much depending on situation ... if i need the resolution by the eagle is far i go with RIV , if the birds are flying all around i go with a9ii for auto focus .... all in all thought it was fair just more details !!!

@@rogergregston6491 I shot our Disney vacation with the RX10 iii. At the time, I had a A7rii, and a7ii, a6500 before getting an a7riii, and a7iii. I still would take the RX10 iii or get a RX10iv. The stills and video were amazing even the fireworks over the castle at night. I also have that big ass 200-600 mm and the 1.4x multiplier. It's sharp and would be cool at AirVenture, but no way several days all day swinging that thing compared to the RX10's. In the light she was shooting?

No blackout with a9/a9II. ISO beast, and it works better with extenders. Best choice for me: a9 and 600 f/4 "and" 200-600 with both extenders. Dream package (although I can't wait to see what the a9III will bring to the table).

Ok, for all you non-birder Sony shooter, the a9 and a9ii are both 24Mpixels which is not enough. Heavy cropping is a fact of life when birding, and the a9 and a9ii are not comparable to a 45Mpixel camera.

@davidligon60882 жыл бұрын
The biggest issue with this review is that Chelsea does not know how to set up a Sony camera for wildlife. In fairness this is just as much a result of Sony’s quirkiness as much as Chelsea’s lack of knowledge about those quirks. 1) set the AF-C to HI, not HI+ to prevent blackout. 2) make sure the EVF quality is set to Standard and refresh rate is set to high to get the best wildlife viewing experience on this camera, 3) For high speed action, don’t shoot in silent mode. You will get image tearing due to Sony’s slow scan-out. 4) if you are shooting still subjects like the squirrel, use expand flexible spot tracking unless the squirrel is the closest thing in the center of the viewport. there is no squirrel Eye AF on Sony. 5) I consistently get 8fps using Uncompressed RAW with my A7RIV, but there are a number of settings that will reduce frame rate on Sony. 6) no question the R5 has faster scan-out and better subject acquisition and tracking than the Sony A7RIV. Most Sony users had hoped they would update the A7RIV firmware to include Bird Eye AF. There was a perfect opportunity to do that with the A7RIVA launch, but it does not look like that will happen.

1) There is no blackout on the Sony A7RIV in HI mode instead of HI+ mode, 2) I get, consistently 8fps in HI mode 3) the number of images you get in the buffer is about doubled (60+) if you use Compressed RAW mode 4) while using front shutter open and with mechanical back shutter you get no read-out tearing and, while the shutter is not silent, it is much quieter than most cameras. That said, I do think the Canon R5 has some advantages over the Sony A7RIV, including the 20 vs 8 usable frames per second, better AI for animal/bird tracking (maybe not compared to the Sony A1), and the 800mm f11 (weight more than price as the difference in body price makes up a large chunk or the price difference between the Sony 200-600). Most of the issues you called out on the Sony seem to be just a lack of familiarity with setup for wildlife.

@@richardmurray1858 Nikon 600 FL E. Still have my D850 but am only using it with the 500PF now for action stills -- much much lighter/smaller and will work @f8 w/1.4TC in a pinch. But more importantly, my experience shooting a Z7 is that mirrorless bodies tolerate TC's much better than DSLR's -- the Z7 allowed me to start using my 2xTC with the 600 once again after having to abandon the TC years ago when high resolution bodies became available. This was most likely due to no fine tuning required and there's no mirror slap to contend with. Going forward I doubt I'll ever buy a 600/4 again...maybe a 600/5.6PF or 4 lb 500/4. Even though the weight of the latest models are lower, they're too big and cumbersome (and expensive) and the quality of the smaller, albeit slower lenses are getting better all the time. And mirrorless bodies AF much better on slower lenses vs. DSLR's too. Changing times. I also shoot video with a Sony a7SIII & 200-600 (400-1200 w/2xTC!) with excellent results.

@johnharvey17863 жыл бұрын
Correct. I have the a7riv and get 10 FPS and I use compressed raw. However there is some lag due to the EVF which is annoying, so for birds in flights I use the the a9 which is much better for fast action. The a9 has no blackout and how it also acquires and sticks to birds in flight much better is great. Larger birds such as geese are ok with the a7riv and the blackout is minimal so it really depends on what you are shooting.

Food for thought. She said the Sony has an effective frame rate of 5 fps, but longer battery life than the Canon. Then, she said that the Canon gets 20 fps, but has a shorter battery life. She also said that Canon frame rate drops at around 50-60% battery life. All Canon cameras do this, both DSLR and mirrorless, because it preserves battery life. I wonder how long the Sony battery would last if it could keep up at 20 fps.
