[@RobertDCobb]

First off greetings from Cleveland, OH here in the States! Secondly, LOVE LOVE your accent. I’ve been watching your videos for almost 2 years now, as I just got into photography about 3 years ago. I currently have a A7RIII and am ready to upgrade to the A7RIV and just bought the A7C as my new B/second camera. I liked the A7RIII, but the A7RIV is insane! It just FEELS like a real pro level camera. I have played around with the A73 and while it’s good, I do a lot of model photography for my magazine, so resolution is key. Anywho, love your content and you are AMAZING to watch and listen to. Cheers!

[@KagoPh]

I'm actually surprised at how good the a7riv handles noise in low light, I was expecting heavier grain. This was awesome comparison video :)

[@djedje5750]

Well at this price range...lol

[@juliatrotti]

Honestly same!! And thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!

[@joshlizee]

honestly I have an r4, and its not very good. Im not impressed with the iso. Literally I wouldn't go past 3200 if I had to. Also 120 fps is crap, this is my first mirrorless, and im not very impressed with the $3.5k camera

[@wilduntamedphotography1260]

@@joshlizee Have one too, and I am very happy with the results. For low light I use my A9ii usually, but the A7RIV is not that bad either but 61MP is 61MP and make a bit of a difference - of course.

[@andrewmckenley5355]

@@djedje5750 ikr lol

[@Ghvxddf]

Makes you realise how good the A7III considering how it’s competing toe to toe with the A7RIV for a much cheaper price. If you do landscapes or need the extra pixels get the 4. If you do video and photography get the A7III

[@juliatrotti]

Yeah performance wise I would say they are pretty much on the same playing field!

[@waxwingsphoto]

Even for landscapes, I would find it hard to find the need for the extra resolution on most days.

[@ricki-bobby]

The advantage of the R4 and by far the best use case for it is on cropping. If you shoot small birds you will often find that you cannot get close enough to them to fill the frame even with 600mm-900mm or more. They still end up as small on a FF sensor. The R4 allows you to crop to ridiculous amounts and still get great details. You add that setup to Topaz Denoise and you have something that it truly special. You cannot get that with the A7III or A9 with their 24MP sensors

[@Ghvxddf]

Wax Wings Photo yeah it is overkill but as the gent above me has said it’s useful if you want to crop your images. Also a lot of landscape photographers have prints which they sell so the higher megapixel count helps with the print quality

[@chauhoang368]

Do you think that if I wanted to shoot jewelry, the A7RIV would be better since it has more pixels?

[@funkmedia]

My main reason to use the A7RIV(after owning the A7R, A7RII) as a professional photographer is, that I love to work with prime lenses. The A7R4 gives me the flexibility to crop my shots in edit. And I mainly take pictures of people and rarely of landscape. So often I am super happy to have the extra pixels to go for that composition correction I am looking for without losing the quality. In low light photography the camera is still super amazing (especially with the prime lenses) and some quick and easy correction in Lightroom (when needed) does the rest. Of course there are the otherbenefits of the A7RIV I am not going into detail now. For filming in low light however I would love to have the A7RIII... Let me know your thoughts on that!

[@regineflores69]

Hey, Julia! I really love your photography! It gives me more idea on how to shoot my own pictures even though Im using my phone. 💙

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much that makes me so happy to hear 😄

[@parmanduke]

It's amazing where camera tech is going. The A7R iv is beyond incredible and the iii is not far behind. In fact the iii was way ahead of its time. The next 5 years is going to be fun with Canon & Nikon upping their mirrorless game.

[@RobertMunteanu105]

I was very much interested in high ISO noise handling in both cameras. The side by side is most helpful! Thank you !

[@MartianCitizen]

[@jjamfilms6151]

The a7r4 are more noise beacuase it was zzom out well than a73 just try to compare in size of photos what are the result, i have this 2 camera but i did not compare the of each camera

[@ernreeders1487]

Thanks. Comparo is the way to go. Compared with the A7R III, both Gordon Laing in his KZbin review of the IV and the Sony Alpha Blog test of lenses for the IV show that any resolution advantage is lost to noise at ISO 800 and above. That's going to compromise a lot of available light shooting.

[@EstorilSport]

I decided to trade in my A7III for a A7RIV a few weeks ago, one thing I have noticed that the shutter noise is quieter (dampen) with the A7RIV, and the dials feel much better to operate less and less clunky and more dampen on operation. The A7RIV feels a higher quality camera than the A7III altogether. I also agree that the memory slot operation is harder to use. (No chance of any accidental opening of the flap with the A7RIV.) So I am extremely happy with the trade up.

[@juliatrotti]

Aw nice! One thing I noticed after we filmed this video is that I really preferred what the A7R4 feels like in the hands. Since during this day it was mostly on a tripod I didn't really have a comment about it, but since then I have done a few portrait photoshoots on it and it's just so much more comfortable to hold!

I am using a 2019 macbook pro with 8gb ram only for editing, for the a7iii filesizes it is handling fine so far.. as a landscape photographer, that extra mps from the RIV would really help to create some flexibility in the composition 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you for the review! As always, the correct comparison) From myself I will say that the A7-3 is an ideal camera in terms of price and quality. That is, if you have about 3.5-4 thousand dollars for a photo kit, then the A7-3 is the camera where you get all the functions for a good price, and invest the rest of the money in lenses. I really look forward to the A7-4, with improved display quality, larger buttons and other minor improvements)

If you have the money then R4, if you shoot birds the R4 has improved auto focus, it has larger size files in both crop mode and full mode, you can crop the picture still retain the clarity advantage over A7 Mk3, I use R3 and I do find the larger file size and extra resolution give it an advantage in bird photography because you will crop as birds is so small when you look at the whole picture.

[@ferrantepaolo]

Great video. The only thing which isn't quite right, in my humble opinion, is the last ISO test showing which camera handles noise the best. The A7RIV image should have been downscaled to the same size of the A7III. Only after you do that you can really see the difference. Otherwise it's an apples to oranges comparison.

[@77dris]

I got to play with some A7RIV raw files and the shadow noise is very bad if you do any type of grading whatsoever at even moderate ISO's.

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you! Yeah there have been a few comments with the ISO test. Just for some clarity: I shot the low light portraits from a tripod so the 3 and 4 images look identical zoomed out. Then when you're looking at noise/sharpening in an image, etc it's generally best to look at it at 100% so you can really see what's happening, so I included them in the video at 1:1 for that reason. With the extra resolution of the 4 it does look like I cropped it in even more, but they are both being viewed at 1:1. Next time I'll try to include both versions of the comparison instead!

[@artmaltman]

Excellent comparison, thank you! As for future comparisons, many people are agonizing over the A7R3 vs A7R4 -- even Tony & Chelsea argue about it! (Essentially some view the 61mp as a drawback that slows down processing without providing meaningful benefit). Anyway that would be a great comparison to show us, especially the impact on Lightroom and Photoshop processing time. QUESTION: In the low light autofocus test it LOOKED like both cameras were finding the eye quickly in the viewfinder but it sounds like when you actually looked at the images, few of them were really in correct eye autofocus. Did I hear you correctly? Also please be careful of the "shutter priority mode" menu entry, as I find that choosing "shutter priority" on the Sony is more reliable than choosing "balanced" which is the default. Finally there is a "focus tracking" mode that typically does better for moving objects than the standard AFC. In general, when you show us an autofocus test please tell us which mode you are using. Thank you.

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much and I would absolutely love to make a comparison video with the R3 & 4! With your question, yep that's why I wanted to do an eye AF speed test, and an eye AF focus accuracy test. A lot of time it looks like eye AF has got it down pat, but when you start taking photos it's not actually focusing correctly which was very apparent in the low light tests especially! During the day both cameras did a good job in the speed and accuracy test. I believe i mentioned near the beginning of the video that I have them both set to AFC, which was kept for the entire video but you're right I should have mentioned it again for the low light tests!

[@artmaltman]

Julia Trotti interesting. I think it is worth a separate video, perhaps a brief one with a title like “the camera tells you it locked focus BUT DID IT?” This is a huge issue, not well known I think.

[@edshotsdotcodotuk]

the 70-200 f4 although a more useful range may struggle in lower light. mirrorless cameras perform better with brighter lenses. depending on your output (web or print) you could just crop down the image. the 85mm APSC crop mode in camera for the A7iii would give you a 10mp image and an approx 135mm field of view (fine for web and small-medium print).

I'm a bit biased as a portrait photographer and a lover of prime lenses haha so I would go for the 85, it's a beautiful lens for portraits! But it's really up to you and what you prefer, what type of photography you do, etc. I also shoot a lot of weddings so I have to work in low light conditions, so I also tend to choose lenses with wider apertures as well! I have some videos on my channel doing photoshoots on an 85mm focal length if you want to see, I also have a video doing a photoshoot on the Tamron 35-150 aaand I will have a video out soon on the Tamron 70-180 lens too!

[@asub3292]

greta vid, but your ISO test doesnt make sense. If youre shooting a portrait, like you did here, you wouldnt blow the A7R4 up larger just because it had more pixels. You would crop them to the same view, and print them to the same size. A better test would be to use photoshop and either scale the A73 up, or scale the A7R4 down. It doesnt seem fair to blow the A7R4 to a higher magnification then claim it has more noise. Just my opinion.

[@OPUSFURTY]

You are perfectly right

Hmm I see in hindsight how that part may have been confusing without showing each photo without cropping before displaying the 1:1. Just to explain what I did: I had both cameras on a tripod at the same distance away from Dan so the original pictures look identical in terms of framing/distance. Then in the video I shared the photos at 100% because that is typically how you should view them when looking at/adjusting noise and sharpening. Since the 4 is higher in resolution it looks like I cropped it in a lot more than the 3 but they are both just at 100% zoom. I think both ways is neither right or wrong, just a different way to show the point but in the future I’ll consider showing both a 100% crop of the original and then a scaled version so they look the same.

@@juliatrotti I totally understand that! Different methods haha.

which camera should i buy for videos.a7iv and a7iii

[@valentinegomes8991]

Julia, will you please gift me the a7RIV when you will not use it anymore? Please? 🥺 I would take good care of it. I have a DSLR, now I'm to sale it and buy a good camera like this 🥺

[@navis5284]

Why compare the A7III vs A7RIV? Wouldn't it make more sense to compare the A7RIII with the A7RIV?

[@GilbertTV]

I have the a7riii , I like the fact I can crop in to my images without losing resolution . a happy in between camera I think

[@sauravpaul3515]

Mee too

[@juliatrotti]

I would love to try the R3 sometime!

@@juliatrotti you should, the pics are amazing

[@redchan69yearsago72]

I was really looking into A7III and pairing it with the sony 85mm 1.8 but then I ran into image striping when I was testing it out when I rented one last month. A Deal breaker for me personally. I wanna shoot backlit and out of my 100 test shots it appeared in 10-15. 😔 I wish it gets fixed for A7IV

[@mishterkhalid3117]

Julia, do you use directional microphone for vlogging or just a normal microphone which records sound from every direction?. i wanna know which one is better for vlogging.

[@juliatrotti]

Dan is in charge of all the audio stuff, this is what he said about it: All audio for every video goes through post from scratch, complete mix and mastering. On location shotgun is usually a NTG3 as it doesn't mind horrible conditions. Lavs vary, sennies at the moment as they're proving to be surprisingly durable, while Julia's overdubs are recorded with a mic I custom built. Most importantly, Julia has amazing mic technique. Hope that helps!

[@PatrickGuerrisi]

Wish Sony would send me a free camera lol

[@Comellato]

same

[@ralphtime]

😂 she gotta send it back tho.

[@PatrickGuerrisi]

Thought it was a free one . Alot of youtubers get free stuff

[@juliatrotti]

Yeah I gotta send it back unfortunately :( most camera/lens related stuff even for release day reviews are like this!

[@PatrickGuerrisi]

Wish I could have one they are like 5k

[@akrambenyahia]

I was waiting for this comparaison from a long time thank you for doing this video ! Awsome videos 🤗

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it!

[@frankluo230]

I think a7R4 61mp has no use in your workflow but the improved af tracking is useful. Hope to see a7iv soon settling at 30-36mp with all handling and usability improvements.

[@juliatrotti]

Yeah I agree, for portraits it's probably a bit too much for me, but it would be verrry nice to have this camera while travelling!

nice comparison! thank you! Hope the A7RIV goes on sale in the coming months T_T

[@Muchtoobizy]

Hi Julia. Thanks once again for your high quality videos. I've read a few commentators say that the A7R4 is less forgiving when you're shooting handheld, as slight mis-focus and/or camera shake is more visible with the higher pixel density. Did you find this to be true?

[@77HARE]

Yes i think so!

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you! And yes, I do find that to be true, I have a video coming up this week just about this actually 😄

[@Muchtoobizy]

Julia Trotti Great. I’m very much looking forward to that video.

[@farisalfaris8120]

Hii Julia, nice video. I'm inviting you to be in Jordan. We have a lot of what deserves to be seen with the eye of your cameras besides mine.

[@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST]

I love how she pronounces "Sony". 😁👍
