Couple of things I forgot to mention, the A7RIV mechanical shutter is also WAY quieter and I don’t even feel I need silent with it. Also the red focus dot is awesome... carry on

[@aboynamedjamil]

I have this camera and I kept hearing about how it wouldnt be good in low light. When coupled with the 85 G Master I have been simply blown away by the low light capability of this camera. Also, the real time tracking in photo AND VIDEO is an absolute cheat code!! Great video man.

[@vinnyvdvici]

Wow, thank God there's actually a good photographer making one of these videos, and not just that, the most descriptive out of EVERY video I've watched. You definitely erased every drop of skepticism from my body.

[@TheRogueElement]

I shot old school Sony A mount with Minolta glass before. I patiently waited for years for there to be a truly epic upgrade before I switched to E mount ecosystem. I pulled the trigger with the Riv this year and have been loving it. That Sigma 35 1.2 was the lens I first purchased with the camera 😉

[@washyourfacewithkris]

I am totally obsessed with my A7RIV. The only slow down I’ve seen in post using my iMac is dropping files onto my hard drives. Not a big deal.. wedding, home late, drop them, all done when I wake. No regrets here!

[@WillStinton]

I was today year's old when I discovered that only one (not both) of the SD card slots on my Sony camera is UHS-II. Awesome video man!

[@fiskemannen]

I've used quite a few cameras and I really think the a7riv is underrated because it was an incremental upgrade from the last A7riii. All things considered, I think it's the best camera in the world right now. After setting it up and getting all the custom buttons and dials right where I want them I've never experienced a camera that just gets out of our way the way this one does. The insane autofocus just means I nail virtually every single shot I take and I can think purely about composition and light- and that's really amazing. The dynamic range, resolution and colour from the resulting shots is just incredible.

[@chrismckeown1297]

Thank you Chris 🙏. Very helpful video.

[@FamauMedia]

Re: UHS-II cards, I've been using the ProGrade v60 cards for all my photo & video over the last year or so - absolutely no issues. They probably won't survive a run through the washing machine like the tough cards, but much cheaper. They do a v90 too but I don't see the point in them unless you were getting an a7Siii for 4K 120 etc 🤷‍♂️

[@HolaKyle]

Thank you for these videos! When I use my 35mm 1.2 with the A7Riv, I have issues using focus tracking at f1.2. It won't work in indoor and darker lighting. If I move it to f1.3 or higher, it is fine. I don't have the same issue using the lens on my A9ii. There might be something weird that Sigma needs to figure out.

The Hi+ mode is showing the last frame captured vs the Hi Mode which is showing a live frame. So in theory the Hi mode should be much easier to follow action with.

[@robbie154]

I have an riv and an riii as my setup. I use my 85 1.4 85% so it gets the riv. Not worth ugrading both when one is only used 15% of the day. The riii is such a great camera anyway. Pound for pound maybe the best Sony they've made.

[@Billyeuyul]

Wow I just found out your channel after 2 long years. Amazing review

[@davidtaylor1188]

Like your style re corrections. Compared to my A73 the A7R4 gets much hotter during video for me. Love the A7R4 and intended to use the A73 for video anyway. That said I like it how the A7R4 now shows me in the viewfinder what ISO I am at if in Auto ISO for movies.

[@jonhermannsson9231]

Nice video as always Great choice congratulations

[@GilbertTV]

thanks Chris for your review . I have the riii & its looking like Sony will not make a new camera without the new flip screen (a7c a7siii) now so this might be my only option for an upgrade as it has the conventional articulating screen .

[@rob9386]

Awesome video love your content so real! Bro can you tell me how is cropping the pictures? Like say you see a shot but you don't have time to change your lens. Surely with those MP you can just crop?

[@riverhe2852]

Well done Chris. I sold my R3 and got R4 in August. The feel in the hand, the resolution, the insane autofocus, and 10 frames shotgun, make it the best still image shooting machine in the world, far better than Canon R5. For Landscape shooters and wedding photographers who own the R3. I strongly suggest the upgrade. Trust me, it's way more than the extra resolution. However, the high ISO performance is just pathetic. I tried bird shooting and when ISO is above 3200, there is so much noise. Thus I am thinking about getting an A9 II. Maybe it's time to sell one of my kidneys.

[@blazeboy777]

ah I prefer R5 over R4. Feel in a hand canon is better, Image is close, iso is much better, autofocus r5 is like a9ii, 10 frames vs 12 :D Did you even try R5 ?

[@afrank3029]

@@blazeboy777 Did you even try A9ii !!?? Haha I have the R5 and R6 combo for wedding/ love them both but the R5 is out of this world !!! However it doesnt comes that close to the af performance of the A9ii maybe 65 -70 % ... but thats allready perfect in my book ! ( I have the A9ii for sport / wildlife..)

[@blazeboy777]

@@afrank3029 ah then we both shoot both systems :D yes, I feel like sony is better for tracking many things but not when it comes to AF to faces/eyes. While it feels faster with Sony in my experience is that Sony likes to slightly miss focus and Canon is always on point. Maybe it was my mistake as I had my sony set up to release priority and canon always on focus priority. Then it depends on what glass you use. For wildlife, I would pick a9ii over any Canon atm. Otherwise, I own a9 (which I guess is like a9ii in focusing) and I shoot with r6 daily as I bought it while waiting for my r5 which I canceled after a month with r6 as for me is enough. Now I am waiting for a1 :)

[@blazeboy777]

@@afrank3029 Also I find for fine focusing canon better than a9, afc close focusing on objects. as sony has bigger focus points. For sports, street, outside of portraits, details shots (wedding like), I find sony a way better AF system. I love on my Canon that with 50mm 1.2 at 1.2 I can shoot with my eyes closed and 19 out 20 photos will be tack sharp on an iris if I am not paying attention :D

[@blazeboy777]

@@afrank3029 when it comes to a7rIV which was said about it focuses as good as a9 and a9ii it's a total lie... it's 50% of a9 if r6 and r5 are 70% I actually miss with that camera compared to r6. Good camera but nothing to brag about in AF.

[@BenSussmanpro]

Great review! Your photos are beautiful- were they all shot without any flash? Also, may I ask which flash brand you use for indoor? I’m new to Sony, gradually moving from Canon (5D4) and shoot mostly events, some portraits.

[@Intraone]

Thank you Chris for this great review. I also do weddings and I hesitate a lot with the A9 (I have an A73) because I do not know what to do with 61m of pixels, it seems that the A7RIV has sometimes failed in AF so the sensor is precise . Do you never have that kind of problem with it?

[@DavidSmithPhotographyUK]

Hi Chris, I'm loving sifting through your vids on here. They're really informative and far better than anything over on the BBC. I realise this video is 2 years old but I just wanted to ask you for some advice. I'm currently torn between buying the Sony A7R4 (61mp) or the Sony A74 (33mp). I'm predominantly a stills shooter and mainly photograph weddings and portraits. I'm leaning towards the A7R4 mainly because of the 61mp as I like to print large. However, I'm just wondering what kind of spec I would require on a new iMac! I'm looking at upgrading my old iMac to the iMac M1 i9 16GB and just wondered if you think that this would be enough spec to cope with the A7R4's 61mp files?

[@youuuuuuuuuuutube]

You're right about the IQ being better because of the higher resolution, after downsizing back to 24MP. The thing is that 24MP on the A7iii for example, is 24 with a Bayer filter, so its color resolution is much lower (12MP of green, 6MP of red and 6MP of blue). But when you resize the 60MP to 24, you get 24MP of green + 15MP of red + 15MP of blue, so, it's almost RGB444, which would be obtained if you resize to 15MP (half the x and y resolution => 1/4th of 60).

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

Well I didn’t know any of that but there you go haha

[@carolinalara2571]

ok, I had buyers regret with the Sony 7RIV because I am a Nikon DSLR user. But liked your review enough to open the box after 2 weeks of having it on my desk! lol

Any chance you’d do a setup video for the RIV with a brief explanation of why you chose the settings you did? Great videos, thanks!

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

Yep that’s the next video

[@symzg5995]

Great vid as always. Quick question, I've heard that anything over 24mp for wedding photography is over kill because there's way too much detail in faces etc and photogs could be spending a lot of time scaling back the clarity. I take it that hasn't been your experience???

[@ernstgrafenberg5347]

Finally a review from someone Who monetizes the camera, not the useless talking

[@Tsitris46]

I switched to the R4 too but I find that my budget lenses just don’t cut it. I am in the process of upgrading my lenses too.

[@TANZANIAFILMMAKINGTV]

Ur for is amazing u don't use flash on those wedding shoot right?

[@jaymayugaphoto]

the one sold me with this camera is the 4:3 aspect ratio

[@Eli-lb1lc]

The high+ shooting speed is just showing you the previous photo in place of the blackout. So it’s not good for any action as it’s hard to keep the subject in frame as desired. But I believe the canon r5 does this too.

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

Ah yeah that makes sense. I never use it anyway I’m fine with the small amount of black out.

[@NoPlaceLikeMauiClothing]

nice chris. question. whenever i look at your descriptions. it seems like u dont have a steady tools for wedding. i really want to know. what sony body do you use for weddings ? thanks for all your videos.

Hi what was the name of compressed software?

[@elinamellov6342]

very nice color. have you tried Sigma 35mm 1.4 with sigma 7rIV? I have a7rII, sigma 135mm 1,8 and sigma 35 1.4, and consider to have 7rIV. Also fine-art, conceptual, wedding photographer. Will buy a7RIV as my main camera. did you tested already sigma 24-70mm 2.8?

[@mnicaisse]

What lens you recommend for great focus?

[@bencarpenter6127]

Been waiting for this video! I am wondering what your thoughts are on the a7siii as far as low light wedding photography and how it compares to the a7riv? Have you gotten to use it yet?

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

Yeah I’ve used the S3. It’s a beast for video. Honestly you could use it for wedding photography but after using this I don’t think I’d want to haha. Low light is amazing tho

[@wcsdiaries]

@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer how are the colors for the riv? Doesn't sony struggle with skin tones a lot?

I can’t tell if your joking, trolling or serious haha

[@thickrebel6493]

Hi there Chris and all, i'd like to ask, does older entry level zeiss lenses can keep up with the resolution increase? They doing fine on the 42mp. (i have these four: zeiss 24-70 f4, zeiss 35 f2.8, zeiss 55 f1.8, zeiss 135 f2.8) Thanks in advance.

[@karlbratby4349]

As a mainly stills shooter who doesn’t need lots of pixels and produced campaigns for big clients with a canon 1dx / 2 then I feel the A9ll would be best for me, presume that has the same real time tracking and also prefer the deeper grip and more tactile buttons on the version 2... I have been using a lumix S1 for a season and it’s great , well everything is apart from the AF...

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

Yeah only thing I don’t like about the A9ii is it doesn’t have picture profiles for video, deal breaker for me. But if your not doing video it’s great

[@galaxystars6409]

Is that delay still happening on the a7riv?

[@digwillhachi]

I sold all my cameras and got the R4 and A7S3. So best of photo & video. Both are small and I can swap lenses between them.

How is your shutter speed so high without the ambient light being completely blacked out. Are you using flash or just natural lighting?

[@albert.artphotography]

You got a new subscriber 👏👏👏

[@AR-vf7vg]

I didn't think jet another 7R4 review could be useful or even pleasent, after so many, and such as from Dustin Abbott, and others. Jet this review, and sharing(!) attitude, it did bring me jet another pleasent and usefull insights. Very nice. Personally I (need to) hang onto my beliefs that my R3 with two R2 serve me in average better for my preferred at lower-light work (and with somewhat less soon diffraction kicking in, "some" better image, and I'm not that often that much reframing in post). Sure I would for some works not refuse it and it's tough to resist to better ergonomics and then some. However, rather than 60 mio, I would rather stress for and gain from much less shutterdelay, which some say could be an A9 3 with aprox 40 mio pixels - if that was to come - or a A7R 3.5 :-) - than that would totally unsettle my current stand. BTW, just an idea : How about considering switching batteries among bodies half way through a wedding if one bof, is clearly being drained more. ;-) ( I'm left a bit curious what would have happened with the in focus red flowers had You let them temporarily get partially covered by the foreground leaf...)

[@Thundr4x]

When you shoot high ISO on a7riv it doesnt look like a unusable noise effect. It looks like a grain effect from old films which is for me is nice.

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

Does it tho? It’s alright to a point. Like 6400-8000 after that it’s colour noise which isn’t nice at all

[@Applefanboy2012]

Hey, at 9:11 how do you get everyone sharp and focused at f1.2? Is it the focus setting? Like wide, center? Thanks so much man

[@universaInformation]

as I understand you do both photo and video, why not switch to a7siii? You don't do printing 12mp is more then enough. A7siii AF and specs is impressive.

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

Yeah I thought about that. Before I bought the R4 I would have been fine with 12mp but I don’t think I can unsee these files lol I will be buying an S3 for KZbin and wedding videos to replace my A73 tho

[@tofulosophy]

Hey Chris, great video as always. Just curious, why do you only have one peak design flappy bit on the left side of the camera? Is there one that you attach under the camera that's removed for the video? I use the same system, find it useful, but can't stand the flappiness when the strap's not attached. It almost makes me want to just go with a thinner permanently connected strap. Thanks.

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

Oh I have it on there because it attaches to my dual strap as a safety

[@tofulosophy]

@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer I see. Which dual strap do you use?

[@frankwolff2903]

Chris, hope you're doin good and sorry for the long winded response. In your opinion what would Sony need to do to have a " medium " Raw setting? is it hardware or software related? If its software then Sony needs to get on it! this feature would sell a lot more r4s. Also do you have any comparison shots 73 vs r3 vs r4 when it coms to high iso, low light noise and quality? You mentioned that compressing the r4 image can actually make it sharper than an A73 of the same size. Does this process also improve/reduce noise from high iso images. I've seen other posts of photographers complaining that hi iso performance makes it a deal breaker and just go for the r3. Your video makes it sound like its not such a big deal. Thanks FW

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

Hi mate. Yeah honestly I don’t think any serious pro will tell you the R4 is bad in low light. It may not be as good as the S3 or A73 but it’s pretty close and better than most of the competitors anyway. So yeah really not a big deal to me

[@soroorfarahnak4055]

Hi Chris. It was very helpful to watch your review. I have a tech question. I got my a7rIV recently. When I take a dark shot with sensor cap on ISO 800 SS 1:100 second, I can see white dots which are noise. When increasing ISO over 1000, the noise gets drastically worse. Does it mean the camera cannot handle high ISO or my version is faulty? I can exchange with riii if you would suggest for a better sensor/better low dark handling.

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

At 1000 iso you should see hardly any noise at all

[@MrIndomerun]

Hey Chris! Great vídeo as always! One question, as a hobbiest focused more of photography than vídeo, do you consider the R3 a worth upgrade from the a7III? Do you notice the Diference in resolution that much?

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

Ummm you’d notice it when you print but not massively. I’d say it would be more of a nice to have upgrade than a must have

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

I guess what I mean is. YOU would probably see the difference editing them but no one else looking at your final photo will see it and it won’t make the image any better itself.

[@MrIndomerun]

Thanks Chris :D

(I also have the a6600+Sigma 16mm, Sony 85 F1.8) I have 4k budget

[@syrcular]

Hey Chris - Always enjoy your videos. You are a key reason I switched over to Sony. Thanks for all the info you share. With that said, I had a question. I currently have a Sony A7rIV on loan from Sony and I've noticed that the camera tends to get very unreliable with autofocus when in low light situation. Especially with third party lenses like Tamron and Sigma. If I'm above maybe 1600 ISO, autofocus seems to be quick and reliable however when I shoot in lower light settings greater than 1600 ISO, my shutter hesitates and the lens starts hunting. Some lenses more than others. I was curious if you run into any of that? The best way to describe it is that the shutter lags, and it feels like it's in focus priority, and since it has a hard time catching focus in low light, it refuses to let me fire the shot, and while that's going on, the lens starts hunting, even when I have a static subject. This doesn't happen at all with my A7rIII or A7III. Have you run into this at all?

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

Hi mate I haven’t had that with any of my lenses, the only aftermarket ones I have is the new Sigma 85 1.4 DG DN and I have the 35mm 1.2. I had noticed the 35 got worse after the software update but after rolling it back it’s fine

[@divinephotography2342]

@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer Yes, I agree with @Peter Price . am using Sony G Master 85mm1.4 and 35mm 1.2 eye focus is not that great when I compare to my previous camera Sony A7MIV.

In your opinion, is it possible for a standard zoom lens like the 24-70 2.8 GM to fully display the 60 Megapixels of the a7R IV?

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

Yeah I reckon. Good enough. Honestly people are FAR to worried about sharpness in general. Sharpness doesn’t make a crap photo and better and just because a zoom lens might not be as sharp doesn’t make an amazing photo and less amazing

[@andreiiasi]

Hi. Maybe you can help with something very strange. I am able to film with my Sony a 7 iv and take pictures but as soon as I take the cards out the camera , my pc as well as Premiere Pro can see my Lexar SDXC UHS II that is plugged into my PC but it says is empty and there are no files. As soon as I put the card back into the camera and transfer the files via direct wire connection it's all good. How could that be? Can you help? Cheers.

[@dreamflight5637]

I have a7rII and had a7i before and I can tell you that sharpness from Rii with Sony 85 1.8 is so incredible at low ISO. Much better than those from 7i . Same with 20mm G. But I have hard times choosing right camera and lens for wedding. I want to keep my Rii just for travelling and portraits, and I am thinking about a9 or a7IV, but I am afraid that while it offers much better focusing, it doesnt have that much mpx for crop. Something tells me RIV is the right thing for me but can it handle weddings same as those mentioned before, and isnt it overkill ... Also no blackout on A9 is amazing, it is so hard to decide .... :D

Indian weddings is the biggest challenge to shoot. It's way different and opposite from the typical Christian weddings.

I don’t really find it a challenge in terms of photographically (compared to a standard kiwi wedding) but it’s definitely more exhausting plus I’m usually shooting for like 3 or 4 days
