SONY A7IV - A Cinematic Review (It's 97.3% perfect as the A7SIII)

Hey, man! love the video. Funny this came up because I literally have an A7iii and A7siii and i've been considering trading them both for A7IV. What is the true loss with video from the A7siii to the A7IV? I also, love shooting pictures and miss being a totally hybrid boy with my A7iii. Thank you!

[@VictorLaforteza]

@@mewnew Thanks Matthew! 12,800 ISO, Reliability from overheating, 4K120p, and 4K60 no crop. Honestly, those are the only things that are missing. The screen is a bit dimmer than the a7siii but I've never had issues in broad daylight. As a fellow hybrid boy, I can say that the A7IV is a huge upgrade from the a7iii or a crippled a7siii that can take great high res photos.

[@mewnew]

@@VictorLaforteza ah thank you! thats what I thought I wasnt sure If i was missing anything. Crops dont bother me so much, just slap a 24 on there hehe. I am really curious about the still photography with the updated color science. :) Thanks for the reply!

No

[@tanyareddd]

I agree to a certain extent but can’t u just upgrade ur camera and then work on ur skills and learn about ur new camera at the same time? It’s not that deep bro🤣

[@JDdaFilmer]

⁠​⁠@@tanyaredddhonestly when your getting into the 3,000$usd and more + range…. YES, your skills should be up to par to understand every single aspect of how to control/work that camera from the moment you pick it up (yes I understand maybe not menus and the little tinkerings) main thing here is no one says you can’t do what you want to (atleast me lol) but I recommend 100% you have your skills up to par to really take advantage of the full experience of this A7iv… this is my main camera and I absolutely love it… video is my main thing so yes he mentioned “heat problems” that is THE ONLY thing that would ever hold this camera back and I’ve owned now a few months after it was resealed so beginning of 2022 I’ve loved this camera and I’ve only ran into heat issues EITHER A. I was helping produce a live stream for a podcast and I was using my A7iv and during testing of the setup we learned after roughly 30-40 minutes of shooting 4k top setting… the bad boy over heated into “battery exhausted” mode WITH “heat shutdown” set in HIGH… we ended up live streaming in 1080p so never ended up being a problem 😉 B. Second time it happened is I was shooting in my handheld rig setup outside, it was 95 degrees in FL and briefly I’d have to have cool down periods with the camera in the shade, after pausing for 5-15 minutes we got right back to shooting on and off for the next 3-4 hours and as the day progressed and sun was going down it never then again happened even being tapped in to battery power for most of the time of the shoot💯 believe in the whole year & a half I owned it, it’s overheated on me roughly 5-8 times but it was brief and didn’t persist long at all when it did happen, most the time, let it sit for 5-10 mins and it’s good to go again with no more problems usually 💯 other then that it’s literally the best handheld mirrorless for that price point 💯💯🔥🔥

[@TheAiPlaylist]

This hurts because it's true..still tho 😅

[@saintmatthew9100]

Gotta agree with this one. I switched from a7III to FX3 and its actually so embarrassing for me that I still can't utilise the full potential of a camera that I paid so much money for😭 I mean, my stuff isn't terrible but I'm still struggling to achieve the look that I would be satisfied with. Everything I shoot and ''color grade'' ends up looking so digital and plain. Before I got FX3 I thought ''Oh yeah Im gonna get a beast like FX3, put my 24mm GM lens on it, and I'll easily get the look like Danny Gevirtz''...but reality turned out to be brutal😂

[@mrnessss]

"Upgrade your skills first before you upgrade your gear and you'll see a much better return on investment." Exactly! That's some truth right there. You know, I didn't once scale up your shots by 500%, examine the sharpness in the corners and compare it to more expensive gear. I was too busy enjoying the way the images made me FEEL. Great Job. Very inspiring 🙏

[@VictorLaforteza]

Exactly! So much emphasis on gear recently meanwhile the best thing you could do is maximize the output of your current camera and make people feel with your videos!!

Man, your channel is very inspiring, I bought the A7IV because of you and can't wait to start creating more content. I was a GH5 shooter and I think this change will give me more creativity due to autofocus and probably that was the key aspect to buy this camera

[@VictorLaforteza]

WOOO that's amazing! GH5 is a beast but Sony is a totally different ballgame in terms of autofocus. Can't beat solo shooting with it! Link up some of your A7IV work when it's out! always curious to others use the camera!

Great great great vid, covered everything super concisely and didn't drag on with fluff like most reviews. I've loved seeing your A7IV content and overall workflow videos, super informative. I wanted to ask and see if you would maybe do a video covering what (in your opinion) the best/most efficient setting layout for the A7IV is for your line of work. I got the camera not too long ago and it seems daunting to try and map out what options should go where, I feel like it would end up slowing down work flow instead of helping it. Much love again for all the vids, love your content!

[@VictorLaforteza]

Thanks, Patrick! I try to cut all the fluff after the initial cut.. I hated watching videos and it has 8 mins of fluff and 2 mins of actual content so I decided to make my own lol. Yeah, I have one on the works already for the A7IV settings video! Keep an eye when it's out :)

I'm a creator in Taiwan too:) and I'm about to buy this, ugh you've convinced me. Thanks for the thorough review! As a vlog creator if you could just pick one lens to go with the A7IV which would it be?

[@VictorLaforteza]

I'd say the Sony 20mm 1.8 would be the best! I personally love prime lenses and it's perfect for everyday videos. If you do need longer focal lengths, Sony 16-35 f4 PZ is another great choice. The other zoom lenses are big and cumbersome to take with every single day so I usually opt out with lightweight lens. ALSO, this camera gets uncomfortably warm kinda (not that it would overheat). Summer hasn't peaked in Toronto yet but I'd say it'll be like holding a heat pad in Taiwan summers lol shouldn't have issues though if you're holding it with a vlogging tripod

[@VictorLaforteza]

Thank you! The A7iv is absolutely amazing! No doubt it'll spark some creativity with it. I took the Blackmagic Design Free Course to begin with blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/training and then I paid for a few months of lowepost to learn from the industry pros! The free training has a lot of good info and it does look daunting to begin with but it's actually so easy to follow!

[@andrewforbes5923]

I love my A7IV. I have a day job but about a third of my income comes from work I do with my camera and honestly I RARELY need to rent anything bigger and badder. There's obviously work where you need things like SDI and timecode but I rarely ever do anything like that. The A7IV does everything I need for some pretty big shoots. I film political commercials and do portrait shoots and I really don't need anything else.

[@biohazard2030]

Just used the A7IV for the first time for a music video shoot and it was amazing! It didn’t overheat on me, granted the shoot wasn’t outdoors, we were in a hot room in a warehouse with no AC. But I think the big reason it didn’t overheat was because I used a dummy battery and attached it to a big V-mount battery. So I think that displaced most of the heat to the battery. But again I haven’t shot outdoors, so time will tell.

[@VictorLaforteza]

I’ve been shooting with it whole summer outdoors! No overheating 🙌🏽 that was the only time when I took it on a farm shoot for the whooooole day. Great camera 📸

[@jasonogg6471]

Hi Victor! First off, brilliant video. Just subscribed. I currently own the A7SIII and the A7III as a video/photo setup. I have a 35 and a 85 prime. Going to be switching to more of a documentary/vlog/photography role after the summer. Would you recommend keeping both cameras and buying a 20mm for vlogs, selling it all and switching to the A7IV as a hybrid with a 16-35 and a 24-70, or something else? Thanks for your feedback!

[@VictorLaforteza]

Thanks Jason! Welcome to the channel! As for the gear, I really do like the a7iv but there’s always a risk of overheating in long shooting days. If you have time in between shots to have the camera cool down from consistently shooting I would definitely take the a7iv and the two lenses 16-35 and 24-70 On the other hand, the a7siii is a much more reliable video cam and having two cameras come with a peace of mind that if one fails, you have a back up. Though in my experience, I’ve never had a Sony fail on me just some overheating issues on some long days. I think overall all three cameras are good! But lens choice should easily be the zoom lenses especially for doc/photography work. Primes are great for controlled shoots or if you easily have time to switch lenses. I know this isn’t the most direct answer but I hope it helps!

[@ramanaa88]

Great review and video! I have been shooting photos with my a7ii for a very long time and I am looking to make the leap to the a7iv for both photo and video. I have some questions that I am hoping you can answer. 1.That Continental commercial looks amazing! I did notice at 0:59 of the video the girls in the shot look to be a little fragmented and not sharp when you were panning. Do you know why that is or what its called? Perhaps its due to the light coming behind them? 2. Can you recommend the courses you took to become a better colourist?. I guess even before that, can you recommend some course to start out in video? My goal is be really good at interviews and showcase people and their personalities. thank you very much!

[@VictorLaforteza]

Thank you! Definitely a good upgrade if you do! 1.) Maybe fragmented because of KZbin compression, but if you’re talking about the light around them it could be the bloom with motion blur since the camera was moving 2.) I loved the free training from black magic. It’s on their website! That’s how I got started. Overall it’ll cover everything you need! About a few hours in training. After that I did lowepost and saw how pros who coloured Hollywood movies did their work. This was paid I think 79 per month

(OVER HEATING) For everyone watching this video with their new Sony IV, and it's overheating on long takes? Don't worry, same problem, yes it overheats on long takes, buy yourself an NPF Battery and a dummy battery with an npf adapter, you'll have triple the battery life and also no issues with overheating for at least an hour and 30 minutes.

Nice video! Looking forward to learn more about colorgrading. Do you have any classes reccommandation for me? I've been doing videos for a couple years now but I really want to improve my colorgrading lately. Thanks!

[@VictorLaforteza]

I highly suggest going through the blackmagic free training on their website :) www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/training if you've already done that, lowepost has awesome masterclasses from industry pros from famous hollywood movies. It's $79 a month but it's worth it!!

[@philippearseneauqc]

Amazing thank you so much!

Smashed! I’m a7siii owner and ex Nikon fanboy. After watching this I think I’m gonna sell my last Nikon to get the A7iv to match the profile color of the older sister . 😎

[@VictorLaforteza]

It's the perfect b-cam for the a7siii!! amazing value!

[@Bastian-os9nl]

Hi! What about rolling shutter and panning issues this one has? Have you had any issues on that?

[@VictorLaforteza]

It’s there but it doesn’t really matter because clients won’t notice for the most part

[@scampifingers]

love your channel bro... the A7 iv content is 👌

[@VictorLaforteza]

Thanks so much! More coming :D

[@impatrickt]

What lens is used at 0:38, the one with the Budda in the background?

[@VictorLaforteza]

Sony 24mm 1.4 gm :)

[@kevinj8190]

That fashion footage looks like you shot with a Red or something I swear. It looks so good.

[@VictorLaforteza]

Broooo that’s amazing to hear thank you! Trying to push the limits of this a7iv 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@vishalzparadize]

Can you share some of the techniques used in the grading of your footage. Looks beautiful.

[@VictorLaforteza]

Already have! The video link is in the pinned comment or you can head into my channel page :)

[@azufelll]

I have the A7IV as a B cam and I use the A7SIII for work, your footage looks great btw. Where did you apply for a color grade certificate?💥

[@ShawkMOVIE]

Stunning footage

[@VictorLaforteza]

Many thanks!

[@ThisisAOTV]

Good review man and amazing work!! .. I just got the camera myself upgrading from a Canon RP and I’m loving it

[@VictorLaforteza]

Thank you man! What made you switch from canon to Sony?

[@ThisisAOTV]

The image stabilization, canons have that weird wobble effect and seem like Sony doesn’t have that issue but I’m still keeping my canon rp w/ 16mm for vlogs ..👍🏿

[@VictorLaforteza]

@@ThisisAOTV Ya... idk why they havent fixed those yet!! The active stabilization for the a7iv is much much better compared to it.

[@benivan3561]
