Excellent analysis. I upgraded from the r2 to the r4 as soon as the r4 was announced. Detail for fine art - architecture - macro - landscape is a huge increase. hence for anyone requiring the extra resolution the R4 is a no brainer. Also because of the high mp each prime lens becomes more versatile because of cropping & on super 35 mode in still one is still getting 26mp. I am not into 10bit so video is fine for me & I can use the stills for a lot of animation & panning in viedo processing. For those requiring more of a hybrid camera the 74 is the choice. The price difference is not that much now - given the r4 is an older model & also available 2nd hand

Sony A7RIV/A7RIVA are the BEST for still Photography if you want fx an image of a Landscape in a very large print ! I do 99.99% of my focusing manual and I NEVER use video, so I cannot see the point with the A7IV, I think that the A7IV are too expensive, much more expensive than the A7III was.

Great video! I Currently own both and can attest to these results. However, not requiring a ton of video capabilities, I will be returning the A7IV. I shoot a lot of wildlife (mostly birds) and you cannot beat the amount of crop you receive with the RIV. Buffer speed hasn't affected me as much as I thought it would. I'll keep this until hopefully an RV comes out with CFExpress, lossless compressed, and bird eye tracking. Then this camera will be perfect for stills.

Just saved me a $1000 going with the a7 iv. Birds are my passion so just the bird tracking alone seals it. I had the same experience buying a pair of Swarovski binoculars deciding between the much more expensive EL or Pure lines vs the more affordable SLC. I checked out both and qualitatively I simply couldn't tell the difference in viewing resolution so I went with the 15x56 SLC which is not only much bigger and some may say not the perfect birding size but it allows great wildlife and landscape viewing at a far greater range (and again I saved $1000)

I tested both cameras (with Sigma ART 24-70mm F2.8 and Sigma ART 35mm F1.2). The price was the same. A7 iv had everything better, except the resolution. I finally bought the A7 iv, but I am still not convinced that it was the right decision. However, there's one more thing. A single pixel on the A7 iv is better than a single pixel on A7R iv. This was especially apparent in poor light conditions. So although the A7R iv has two times more pixels, the amount of the details it captured was not two times more, because of the noise and also probably because of the limitation of the lenses and easier stabilization of the A7 iv. Depending on the conditions, it was a little more (but not two times) or the same in poor light.

Thank you for the Video - i found it very helpfull. I have a 7III and probably i will buy a second camera for using for events. Then i didn't need to change the lenses during the event. The price is nearly the same (A7IV 2.800 Euro, A7RIV 3.300 Euro) - espacially when I consider, that the CF-Cards for the A7IV are at a very high price. Using 2 CF-cards in te A7IV for a backup isn't possible, when using 2 SD-cards the buffer of the A7IV isn't big enough: the A7RIV can take more (and each one with nearly double MPs) frames as the (newer) A7IV. I think, for me the A7RIV will be the better camera.

This is with a very shallow depth of field though with a close subject, with the subject further away it nails focus on every shot.

I will be buying a 16-35mm f2.8 and think that'll all be a nice set up.

Edit: some grammar errors! @@cjtubongbanua2367, it depends on your use case. If you need high resolution work and need to crop in, A7R4 but buy it used on Ebay or aftermarket. You can get it about same price as new A74. I got mine for $2600. If you’re a hybrid shooter and need both stills and videos, then A74. I also have both of them and use them as the design was intended for. I see a lot of users use it not for its strengths but for its weakness. Part of this to blame is Sony Marketing doesn’t do a good job to provide a buyer’s guide for their customers so they leave it to mostly user errors to determine the narrative. For example, why would you buy the A7S3 for stills. But if you shoot only video, it’s A7S3 or FX3? For sports or wildlife where subjects or animals are fast moving, you need the A1 (if you have the money) or the A9i/9ii, not the A7R4/4a. Good luck!

I own both. The A7RIV is better ONLY if you need the resolution. Oddly enough the A7RIV can shoot 10fps & the A7IV can't (that's unacceptable). The insanely large files the A7RIV create are unusable unless you're a pro, you can't use them online without severe downgrades. The A7IV is AMAZING in lowlight, the A7RIV is absolutely terrible.

Stop looking at 100% magnification looking for noise and you'll be fine. One camera cannot be amazing and the other absolutely terrible. That is complete nonsense, you are not comparing a FF and a m43 sensor...

Light Image Resizer. Compress the images, and you're done. I compress all images on my laptop. Quality is pretty much the same, file size is reduced by 80 to 95%, depending on how much I like the image =).

Hang on. The A7RIV is terrible in low light?

I own an A7r - expose correctly it’s perfectly fine up to 6400. View at 100 percent and you’ll see noise in any camera.

A74 - very unsatisfactory flip-up display ...

What amazed me about your comparative review in reference to the Sony a7iv, there was NO mention of OVERHEATING when shooting video for an extended period of time. Many other reviewers & recent owners have complained about overheating issues of the Sony a7iv. Have you really tested this camera in real life shoots, or are u just going off printed specs from Sony? Please let us know.

You’re wrong. I DO mention overheating and also SHOW YOU the camera’s LCD with the recording time exceeding TWO HOURS. How about you REALLY watch the review, instead of questioning if I really tested the camera?

Had it been a Canon R6 (it's nearest direct competitor) it would have happened in 1/4 the time.
