Sony A7IV vs Sony A7III - BEST CAMERA FOR PHOTOGRAPHY

[@SidneyDiongzon]

What questions do you about the SONY A7IV as a photography camera???

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Great!

[@kanaheiusagi]

is there still 10fps continuous burst rate & near unlimited buffer with a CFE (compressed RAW) + UHS-II (JPEG)?

[@wil554]

@@grzehoom I left a similar comment below. I think Sony is done making tilt screen cameras, unfortunately. 😕

[@MichelleUretsky]

Question… is the durability of the body better? Is the back actually metal instead of the plastic of the A7III? How did the upgrade of the processor help the A7IV? Is it great for video as well? How is it in low light? 🤍 Thank you!

[@homesmedia]

I think this might be my next camera, I own the a7r3 & I love how you can custom shoot for video & than photos which would make my work easier I think

[@davidjones8070]

One feature that I’ve only seen one other you tuber mention is the ability to switch out a lense in the field by closing the shutter protecting it from getting dirt on your sensor. I think that’s a pretty cool feature.

[@grahamjones1164]

Couldn’t agree more! I’m always cleaning the sensor of my A7iii; would be nice to not have to bring swabs & cleaner everywhere I go!

[@tmaintv]

This is actually a genuinely really helpful video on the differences. Unlike a lot of others. One thing I’d love to know is what the colour rendition on the monitor looks like compared to the a7iii. On my a7iii it’s absolutely terrible and looks totally different to the evf tone and colour wise. Would love to know if it’s genuinely better.

[@mikeomakesvideos]

Great PPA ad but you must have ultrasonic hearing to be able to hear your camera inside a car. Does the A7 IV come with a better speaker? haha Great video. I think I will eventually buy the A7 IV and keep the A7 III as a B camera.

[@kevinmcdowell1793]

I mapped my ISO on my scroll wheel on my A7III so you always had that feature. Now mapping the white balance where you had exp compensation. 👍

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Clever!

[@papsny]

Nice upgrades but people have to be aware that more MP can change your post workflow requirements. More storage for the NAS and memory cards, longer load times in LR.. etc Curious how the silent shutter performance is? I wield 2x A9 and only thing keeping me from upgrading are the silent shutters and 20 fps performance which is valuable during wedding ceremonies. Cost wise, a7iii prices are dropping like flies. You can get one from 950 to 1100 used. So in theory you can get 2x a7iii + a $500 lens for the price of 1x a7iv. For photos, you can still live with the A9, A7riii, a7iii. Those are still good options.. For video, a used a7siii is close to the price of a new a7iv.. I'd go with the a7siii. Thanks for doing a review with photographers in mind. :)

[@shelbypuckett]

Thanks for a great video!! I’m really looking into upgrading to this camera eventually!! Just gotta save for a little while🤣

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Glad it was helpful!

[@PaulFeinberg]

Gosh I loved the PPA ad......very clever and funny.I think the a7iv is a great option for the best of both worlds. I still will keep my a7c for photography because I love the size and 24mp is good enough for me.....now a7cii, that might make me jump. Great video!

[@phalange1234]

Straight to the point and great visuals. Thanks for the great reviews!

[@prashantgoswami5841]

Looking at the price difference between the a7iii abd a7iv, the a7iv seems like a nice to have upgrade and not a necessary one.

[@calbarton]

i like the creative insurance ad you did. it would have been so funny to hear the glass breaking as it cut to black.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

LOL, thanks

[@MadsGOlsen]

if you are not using it for video i would still just get the a7iii for half the price. incremental upgrade for stills. and i can go through a hole days assignment with 2 a7iii's without changing batteries. for the same price of one a7iv. and the a7iv definitely can't go on one battery. the shutter speed in lossless raw types is faster on the a7iii. The only real upgrade for stills is the unlimited buffer with sd cards in lossless compressed raw with the a7iv and the formfactor/grip of the body. and the 33mp sensor is a ok upgrade but not that important. all other is not important. for stills. for video though it's a whole nother story. it's a big step up in all accounts

[@adilnafih]

What about the creative looks and which one u use?

[@anorveaa]

This new A7IV has better color science? Can you post side by side photos comparing the A7III vs A7IV? I have to see if that is true. I have seen a few youtubers saying that they do NOT see any difference in image quality. Can you be a little more specific when you say "color science"? And what about white balance are you noticing any difference? Most photographers, including myself, don't like flippy screens but maybe that excites you hahaha :-) I think that flippy screen is one of the main reasons why I'm not too excited about buying this particular camera and it would be hard for me to get used to that.

[@AlexJenkins]

So, I have the Panasonic S5 and love it as a hybrid camera. Great images, crisp video. I'd be curious to know how the A7IV compares to it as a hybrid camera.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

I think the A74 is the better hybrid camera!

[@reg171reg]

I’m coming from an A7riii and the lower resolution back screen is even a backwards step from my A7rii. I’m a bit annoyed about that. I’m hoping for a big upgrade in lowlight focusing. I think 33 megapixels is a sweet spot

[@kelseyhorne2066]

How do you find the image quality compared to the R3?

[@lxvxfilms]

ppa clip sounded like an All State commercial haha

[@SidneyDiongzon]

[@rahulbhatiaphotography6166]

I have been using sony a7iii from past 2 years , I don’t do videos I’m struggling to get good skin tones directly out of camera, issue is i get too much red tones on skin and sometimes it gets difficult to remove red tones from skin because at Indian weddings the decorators uses too much red in the surrounding of location

[@roadrider_2771]

Thank you for this video!!!!!!!

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Thanks for watching Maria!

[@wil554]

Do you think this is the end of the tilting screen for Sony? I’ve been shooting Sony mirrorless since the NEX7. The last Sony camera I bought was the A7C and I hate the flippy screen. 😞 It’s always in the way, getting tangled in the strap, takes longer to get my camera ready, etc.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Not sure! Maybe they might make a new flippy/tilt screen one day!

[@zippo_muk9254]

*Can you just transfer photos and videos to your computer via a Sony app, instead of transferring by plugging an SD card into an adapter?* Do you need a CFA card?

[@frankfeng2701]

5:53 I can't believe Sony cripple the triangle strap ring; unlike on a7S3, it'll still make noise when the camera is shaken.

[@jackryder6732]

Good review and ad

[@arantesFilms]

Nice ad. It turned out amazing 😂

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Haha, gotta have fun with these things!

[@MaximYurchukMSP]

Hi .Does A7iv fire the speedlight ( Flash) with electronic shutter like A1 does ??? I dont mean 30 frames per sec. Just posibility Of Shooting with flash and Electronic shutter (Silent Mode ),Thanks.... ,

Cant wait to get ahold of my a7IV!!! Pre-Order gang in the building!!!!

[@moritzmuessig]

Hey, nice review man! Does the camera come with an extra battery charger?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

No, just the one. Thanks for watching!

[@synthesaurus]

How is the wake up time on the new a7iv? As sluggish as the a7iii?

[@jasonrich8074]

Is this a good sports photography camera?

[@BarefootMediaTV]

i preordered. now just gotta wait a couple months :(

[@SidneyDiongzon]

NICE!!!!!

[@dsweet471]

Is the autofocus system in the a7iv the same, or better/improved over the a6400 and a6600? I know those two apsc cameras had better AF than the A7iii. Thx!

[@parthasarathikanaparthi2366]

What about LCD. After taking the picture does it show proper exposed image on the lcd or dies it look like pale plz reply

[@crisgrams8434]

Hey Sidney, Just got the camera and I love it. However, the thumbnail of the photos shown on the SD card are not being displayed same issue with the video thumbnails I've updated my imac to the latest update. It still says that "preview" and "quickplayer" don't support this type of .RAW file. Any tips?

[@ulrichsd]

Do you think sony will have any black Friday deals on this camera? Looking to upgrade from a D7000 :)

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Most likely not. I wish though!

[@asalalawsi]

what about main focus on video + second photo?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

If that’s the case, then the A7SIII is the camera to get

[@asalalawsi]

@@SidneyDiongzon Thanks a lot 🙏🏻 i may cancel my pre-order for the a7VI & buy the a7siii

[@rahulbhatiaphotography6166]

I have a question, Do we get good skin tones from sony a7iv directly out of camera like nikon and canon or we need to edit like its done in sony a7iii

[@tomegan4060]

Reason #1 its 4fps slower in uncompressed raw than a7iii. And 8fps slower than cannon r6

[@mike.k]

I have at the moment A7C and the eos r6 - and I hope keep them around next two years before upgrade them for something newer even than A7iv… what do you think, Sidney? Greetings

[@SidneyDiongzon]

You should be fine to keep those cameras for a LONG while!

[@shotbypradi4692]

[@mike.k]

@@shotbypradi4692 hehe ok…

[@michaelf7742]

How happy are you with the Canon glass compared to Sony?

[@onlyonecannoli3952]

Active stabilization is for movies. Does nothing for stills.

[@reboot7507]

Does 1 thing for stills. Placebo effect for reviewers.

[@kelseyhorne2066]

How would you say the image quality is compared to the R3 you had???

[@krishnakrishna-bk2lu]

Hi sir do u think nd filters are really necessary for travel filmmaking how much difference do they make Can't we compensate by using higher shutter speed

[@blopp6240]

You can call it Tavel video making in that case lmao. Nd filters is one of must things , I recommend to buy variable Nd to save some cash on it. Shutter should always be double your framerate. Can be 1-2off if you need to avoid some light flickering

[@krishnakrishna-bk2lu]

@@blopp6240 thanks for ur reply

[@jackryder6732]

What about video differences

Quick question is the Sony a7iv gonna have the same battery grip as the A7siii?

Give me your old camara . I want to start youtube but no money.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

LOL, na dawg

[@DukeMorse]

Does the touch screen work in the playback menu? (ie. pinch to zoom or swipe to scroll through images). Also, is tethering via the usb c or hdmi and can it be charged via usb c while shooting and or while tethering?

[@MichelleUretsky]

Yes you can swipe to scroll, not sure about pinch zoom.

[@MichelleUretsky]

Yes it can be tethered and charge. You can even directly livestream.

[@gshots101]

for photography not in videography??

[@SidneyDiongzon]

This is specifically for photography!

[@SidneyDiongzon]

@@grzehoom I would argue the opposite. The photography features are amazing with the A7IV that also happens to have great video features.

[@SDelgadillo101]

As a photography camera my biggest concern is the 6FPS in uncompressed raw. How does this compare to other sony R cameras that also shoot at 10 FPS? I’m a journalist and need to capture rallies, unpredictable movements, etc. Im not in the tax bracket to buy an Alpha 1 lol 😢

[@Jaimesebe]

Your best option will be the Sony A9II ;)

[@MichelleUretsky]

It’s not going to be that much of a difference. Unless you’re blowing up your photos to feet-long, you’re not going to really see a difference between compressed and uncompressed raw.

I'm happy with my a7iii for now. Don't see much of a reason to upgrade

[@ReganMcCullough]

Totally agree. Everything here is a very minimal upgrade. I'm sure it's better, but the juice doesn't look like it's worth the extra squeeze.

[@slickricksettles]

I’m looking to pick up a Sony a 73 I don’t know if I should wait and spend the extra money for the A74 I’m switching from a beginner level Nikon over to Sony, thoughts?

[@ReganMcCullough]

@@slickricksettles It seems like a little extra speed and resolution, and a touchscreen are what differentiate the two. The a7III is a GREAT camera and can likely be picked up at a discount since it has been out for a few years.

[@krishnakrishna-bk2lu]

What is the best exposure level for hlg picture profile do we have to over expose to 0.3 or 0.7 or maintain at 0.0

[@aenimatt]

Use your zebras! Set your custom to lower limit 99+ for HLG. Overexpose until zebras show up on your highlights. Then go down .3 or .7 until they are gone. Camera sensors love light, but not too much light. So you need to give them the most light possible before clipping the highlights. Then you can bring it down as much as you want in post without losing color information.

In a7iii when we crop it'd be 8 megapixel for photo but what megapixel wud it be if we take photo in crop mode in a7iv?
