Were you expecting more??? Or is exactly what you want?

How warm is it out there?!! I'm in a winter coat already!! It looks awesome Matti 🔥

[@JeanGerber]

I’m quite happy with what this camera has to offer. I’m switching. Sorry canon.

[@kaspergaram]

Honestly, less than what I was expecting it to be. I would have thought it would be a lot better than the Canon R6, but those two are extremely similar

[@MauriceMercado]

This is exactly what I want and need...the problem is I have no money...lol

[@portugal13beckley]

It’s a $2500 camera idk what else people could want from it besides no crop in 4k60 but that’s about it. Fantastic camera that’s gonna sell like crazy

[@WillyLau]

I am so satisfied with Sony A7iii even though it could be considered as an old camera this day. However, the footage from A7IV looks amazing. Huge improvement from its old brother.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

The lowlight was surprisingly better on the A7IV. I think you're right, the over sampling must be helping.

[@youuuuuuuuuuutube]

The A7siii becomes blurry at high ISO because the noise gets in the way of the details. Here, having more pixels means that the sharpness is better preserved.

[@davidglukh6473]

Lmao you're both incorrect The A7IV's dual native iso is at 3200, and between 3200 and 12,800 ISO, the a7iv will look better in low light. Past 12,800 ISO, the A7Siii's dual ISO kicks in, and it will blow the IV out of the water :)

[@kadragepictures]

yes but the lowlight test is done with a pretty good lighting inside his office, which results in a better image. But I have seen other tests and it was really impressive.

[@wandererstraining]

@@davidglukh6473 I trust my eyes. Whatever the numbers were, the A7IV preserved more details at ISO 102k. The A7SIII got blurry due to noise reduction. We'd have to see a comparison in actually low lighting tho.

[@ostlightfilms9289]

@@davidglukh6473 You can take a look at Gerald' undone review on the A7IV he has shown that the A7IV is better by 3 stops ^^

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

People need to keep in mind, that if there is a good enough light source in a room, then cranking up the ISO to 102,400 will certainly have little noise. Lots of manufacturers use this trick. A true low light test is actually in very low light, like a dim room or exterior late in day. Not a lit room. You can see catch lights in his eyes plus soft box LEDs in the room and window light. However Matti is right the ISO looks clean in his footage at this ISO. (show us a camera like the older Sony A7iii or A7ii would handle this same scene with same lighting, that I would like to see, to prove how much better this camera is from earlier generations). If you have strong LEDs in room, would changing ISO matter as much? (maybe in backgrounds in room where no light is hitting?)

[@MarcosRomero]

Haha are you kidding me?! I am not at all underwhelmed by this, this is exactly what I needed to upgrade from the a7iii. The a7siii is just barely too much for what I do, this is perfection in every way. I am happy with every single spec, I wasn't expecting we would get 4K 60 at all to be honest.

[@MarioSoMedia]

Amazing hybrid camera! Love the quick dual dial to switch between stills/video which also switches the settings too! It's definitely a very neat upgrade. I wasn't expecting 10bit 4:2:2 or Scinetone and they gave it to us! I was hoping for 240fps in HD though but that's just me

[@chrisdesilva4665]

Unconvinced by your High ISO test, industry professionals know grain and noise live in the shadows, you weren't in low light, you were in a room correctly exposed with either natural or with artificial light, try this with just a candle on your desk or at night on a dark street corner, that's a real low light high ISO test for noise.

[@eM4rio]

yeah, that test was so crap... But hey, he can't roast the company which gave him a free equipment ;)

If you say you need a low light condition to test the iso just try sony a7iii 51200 iso on the sunny day.. Is it still good 😆

@@FelixCervantes There definitely are better choices, but at a price. I have shot with an a6500 for a long time until now (which, as you know, has horrible rolling shutter) and I never noticed it.

@@mattih i dont want to crush the hype for how good these cams are in Low light, been shooting the a7s3 at 100fps in the dark a lot…BUT: theres a HUGE difference between actual low light scene OR (as in this case) a weill lit subject, that is perfectly exposed even at iso 100k. Slog starts getting noisy when its dark AND underexposed, but only in its lower 3rd of dynamic range. So if you still expose correctly iso 100k can be absolutely fine. But if you dont light the subject so well it would be much much worse

In the side-by-side ISO test, the A74 had noticeably more detail. And the A7SIII seemed to have had the clarity dropped making it softer.

[@chrischerrykoolaid]

The low-light looks great. As a guy who shoots fuji right now a crop is nothing for me lol. Always love your content bro! 👊

[@DanasAnis]

The only underwhelmed thing in it is the 4k 60fps supper 35 instead of no crop. They never do it, never make a perfect camera. From photography point of view, it's a great camera, don't know what else could a photographer want. Video side, the crop in 4k 60fps is killing it. Sony could have had a title of a perfect camera just like that, 4k 60fps no crop in A7IV, be it some lesser read out, 8bit only, idk, just have 4k 60fps no crop and there it is, a camera that blows out any competition. Price would be right, photography and video good... pretty much perfect balance. now it feels crippled. Even though it's a really nice camera with plenty of things to offer, but didn't make to the finest. Just because what, fear of cannibalizing sales of A7SIII? But that's a whole other set of customers (in this segment A7SIII and FX3 are biting each other), A7R line - different field entirely, A1- luxurious class for the finest. Cinema cameras? Regular content creators won't buy them anyway, those are for studios and large scale productions, only a handful can afford those systems on their own. Many times I just wanna go and beat crap out of the marketing guys for ruining things that could be dream come true for the masses.

[@sethsquatcho]

I'm speaking out of ignorance honestly, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think there are technical limitations that cannot be overcome at the intended entry pricepoint. I don't think the decisions Sony is making are purey market-based. Some, sure. But there are real world limitations to what they can pack into a camera at a $2.5k pricepoint. I mean, look at the Canon R5. It boasts 8k but it overheats so goddamn always that it is barely a useable feature. Sony's cams at least deliver on their specs. Can Sony make a hybrid with a huge sensor, high megapixel, and 4k60 or even 4k120 without running into similar overheating issues? I honestly don't know. Frankly, for A LOT of content creators, the specs will work just fine. For myself, I'll probably get the FX3 and then sell my a73 to try and fund a stills cam in the A7R series. I think that selling "the perfect camera" at $2.5k is probably far too low of a pricepoint IMHO.

Hey Matti, thanks for the review as always! Quick question, do you need the CF Express card to record certain video formats? Or can you record all formats to a regular SDXC card? Canon R6 only has SD card slots and can record all file formats to it, just curious how they compare. Maybe I should be asking your bro as he’s more on the Canon ecosystem? Thanks again and I know a lot of my subscribers will be interested in this camera so I’m hoping to put a comparison together for them. Cheers!

[@noah_films]

Hey man. Not sure if you ever got the answer to this, but according to a Gerald undone video, you should be able to record all formats to the sd card, with the exception of the high frame rate modes like 4k 120, which this camera doesn't have, so it should be fine. Hope this helps!

For me, the ideal vlogging camera is something that has good enough colour without the need for colour grading and amazing stabilization. Shooting with my A6400 is painful for vlogging because if the lack of IBIS.

[@wolfgangpetersun2730]

It's a shame, I'm a little bit disappointed. If the camera could do 4K60 without a crop, I would have ordered it right away. But with this 1.5-fold crop and also with a strong rolling shutter, the camera is no longer an option for me. I don't need 33 MPixels and if I do, I still have my Nikon D800 from 2013 with 36 MPixels, which, if only for photos, is one aperture superior to my Sony A6600 in lowlight and also has a greater color depth. So trying the Canon R6, which can do 4K60 or even the Canon R5? Let's see or: I bought the IPhone 12Pro Max almost a year ago. It can do 4K60 videos and has great video image stabilization through a moving sensor (this was the reason to buy it). Perhaps you no longer need a large camera for everyday use, smartphones are now very close, including at mirrorless cameras. If manufacturers like Sony are skimpy on options for protecting their more expensive cameras on the basic models, they needn't be surprised if people are gradually turning to smartphones. And as always a GREAT video of you.

not made for everyone

[@hardikdhameliya3428]

Don't talk about r6 coz r6 sucks heating system. R6 can't even shoot your video 😄

[@kidoman7988]

@@hardikdhameliya3428 not everyone shoots hour long videos foool. 30-45 mins is a long enough time . And it does with almost no crop

[@CarlosParry]

Can you do an A7 IV vs R6 comparison? The low light was amazing here!

[@bronsteenproductions6547]

Can the A7IV record 4k footage on one card and proxies to the other? I am wondering if it has dual video (proxy) recording. Big selling point for me for deciding on the A7IV and the A7SIII.

[@jonlockwood1996]

That color grading is ahhh mazing!!

[@HiFocusedCinematography]

Hows does the 4k/60p cropped compare in quality to the 4k/60p a7siii full frame? Very interesting about the lowlight.

[@mathisb.2953]

Already pre-ordered 😀 Love the upgrade from the a7iii

[@tranphan9013]

Nice review. Preordered.

[@JaronMauk]

That low light is crazy! The quality is top tier! Been rocking the A7C but this is sweet 👍🏻

[@robmcd]

Sony and Tamron make great apsc lenses for e mount for the 4K60 stuff. Plus the really wide full frame primes and zooms

[@paulbeckmann]

Great review! Thanks!

[@HviteVinger]

Different lenses/fstop on the 102400 ISO test? Much more background blur on the A7Siii.

[@slyfox8900]

I dont understand who in their right mind would be upset with this camera....how materialistic have we become that we need MORE than what this camera offers? i know people who still shoot wedding videos with the canon 5dm2 for crying out loud. This camera would be a MAJOR upgrade for them

[@mem5922]

You said it Andrew! The A74 has so much going for it. I got my 6400 2yrs ago and if I hadn't already bought 5 APSC lenses, I'd make the jump to the A74. I'm a constant hybrid shooter and SO wish my camera had that 'quick change' button between Photo-Video-SloMo while saving 'last used' settings. What a nice feature! I'm already envious of future A74 owners :)

[@tricknee253]

Thanks Matti. I’ll be getting one.

[@cac2244]

I am just a hobbyist photographer and the A7IV is for me... Vistek already have my money. Also I am proud of all the Canadian tech youtubers like Lew and Gerald that you mentioned all the way to you, Peter and Linus.

[@dlpasco]

One thing I've liked about the A7S III is that the colors seem more intense...saturated? than on the Canon R5. The A7 IV looks excellent compared to the A7S III but it seems like is shares that more muted color palette I've seen on the R5 as well - particularly in your demos. By which I mean, "the A7S III always looks super vibrant in your videos, in a great way"

[@RishiRajKoul]

Hi, Between A7 IV and A7R IV which one has speedier autofocus acquisition and better tracking and by how much. please help me to make the buying decision, I feel if the AF performance is equal or close then going for higher resolution is better.

[@corbinkitchner3435]

Is there a crop in 1080 60 and 1080 120p? Or is it just 4k60 there is a crop?

[@JamesKGraves]

I was initially a bit underwhelmed from a specs point of view, but seeing this thing in action now there's no question that I'll be switching to Sony in the next couple of months. This thing honestly looks cleaner at 102400 ISO that my 80D does at 800 😅 Not to mention the stabilisation when vlogging just trashes the IBIS of the EOS R cameras; definitely a no brainer for the hybrid shooter. Really appreciate the hands-on look from you Matti; based on specs alone from other creators I really wasn't convinced until I saw this 👏

[@Thai.H]

Why not the r6?

[@dotdll8225]

@@Thai.H because compared to this I’m pretty sure it’s obvious the Sony a74 is better than the r6

@@dotdll8225 how other then mega pickles how is it better

[@lionellow105]

@@Thai.H No overheating, oversampled 4k, low light, dynamic range, alot alot better lens selection, much easier to edit codec. I'm sure canon has its advantages, but soon we'll see exactly which is the better choice when comparison videos are made

how does the screen look overall and outdoors?

[@rishimodak245]

I was not expecting this at all. Damn!!

[@Gremlack13]

I was waiting in great anticipation for the a7iv. So far I have not been overwhelmed by it. It’s an amazing camera no doubt, but I was expecting a bit more for the price point. The only thing that really stands out to me is the higher mp sensor. Still likely to be a great camera overall. I’ll wait a bit longer to see what comes out next before upgrading.

[@4youreyez141]

You think is worth waiting for the A7V which should come out later this year and just check what aspects it will have, because I’m planning to shoot more videos but if the V doesn’t improve all this things then A7siii it is

[@MarvellousVisuals]

Matti, hope all is well? Question, how many megapixels do we get in apsc mode with the a7iv. In a bit of a mental rut in how I will organise things. I have the R4 and was thinking to use the 24gm on it as if I need the 36mm focal length I will still have 26mp That would allow me to use my 135 on the a7iv The reason why I ask this question is that I hybrid shoot a lot and will probably have my a7iv as my vlog/ youtube cam from time to time. So I'll need that 24 on it. I really want to know if the mp count on the cropped mode will suffice. Thanks Matti

[@elaysenband]

Anyone can help? I can’t decide what’s better between a7iv and a7iii . What would you choose for shooting videos?

[@Zanein1]

If you look at the gold KZbin plaque when he is comparing the ISO at 102400 between the two cameras, you can notice the noise in the A7siii. I couldn't see that same noise in the A74 clip!

[@jasroopsinghji]

This camera looks beyond amazing, holy SH& $ GREAT VIDEO
