I Was WRONG About the A7IV [WORTH IT IN 2024?]

[@frodoOG]

I just got a7iv with tamron 35-150 f2-2.8, I'm in love with this cam

Why dont you go for the A7siii / fx3 if you want a fullframe video camera and you have the budget for 3 a7iv's? Just for the 6k oversample??

[@AryanSehgal]

I would love to own 3 FX3s but owning those instead of the A7IV means that I would have had to spend an extra $5k CAD more than I already spent on the A7IVs. Don't have the budget for that at the moment, but hopefully one day I will. For now, the A7IV has been an amazing camera and I love the features it comes with.

Bro should I go for A7 r IV or A7 IV only- purpose for street photography / portraits and modelling + Video for reels / KZbin / content creation.

[@AryanSehgal]

If you're doing photography & video then I would highly recommend the A7IV, it's got 10bit video codecs, and a 4k60p option. It's still 33MP which is still pretty decent for photos. It's not great for sports photography or video because the sensor is quite slow, but overall it's the best hybrid option. And it's cheaper haha

Do you recommend a7rv over a7iv?

[@AryanSehgal]

I mean that one really depends, it's quite a bit more expensive than the A7IV and it's definitely a better camera. But I personally don't have any use for the additional photography features so I stick to the A7IV. If I was to upgrade to any camera, it would definitely by the FX3 simple because it's a video focused camera. But if you have more photography needs then the A7RV will probably work better for you.
