[@davemil716]

Great video... Your videos helped me decide on my Nikon Z system. I am not changing, that Sony might be a great camera and if I had unlimited income sure I might consider Sony. But I don't. And the Nikon Z works for me. But I did notice something in the video, and this is a compliment, no matter what camera or lens you showcase in a video your images look the same. Amazing! I think the one thing you should showcase more is your STYLE because no matter what camera your images look the same. You prove so many times, it's not just the gear but the photographer!

[@quikee9195]

That's because he uses color cards to bring the colors to the same level regardless of the camera.

[@allend6137]

Yes… The thing I love most about my A7iv & iii is not having to stress over perfect exposure. The raw files always bounce back perfectly 👌🏾

[@FinancialFaiz]

I have the A7iv and 3x ZV-E10 for my podcast setup I want to upgrade the looks, 4k and 60fps. Should I go for 3 more A7iv?

[@viagensebabados]

I switched from fuji xt4 a year ago to the Sony A7 IV and although Fuji was good, I find the Sony A7 IV much more reliable in eye auto focus, tracking all kind of subjects, low light capabilities and not to mention a plethora of third party lenses available. The bigger sensor paired with a wide aperture lens make a big difference when pushing the ISO high. I've always shoot raw so colour science is not a deciding factor as I like to apply my own looks to my pictures. Plus a7iv video output is just beautiful. The fuji xt4 was a fantastic camera, but for my needs, I cannot see myself ever switching back to cropped sensor after Sony. Love my a7iv.

[@RandumbTech]

Same here. About to put the last remaining bits of Fuji gear up for sale. No turning back once you get a taste of reliable AF. Photography isn’t fun if you miss focus.

[@Eyeofkamau]

That’s the xt4, it’s a way different story when it comes to the XH2s. Can’t go wrong with that full frame lowlight & noise handeling though. Cheers and best of wishes!

[@MaineMountainMedia]

A7iv is a fantastic value proposition. I'm happy to see you spreading yourself around all the different cameras. Sony colors are definitely the weakest part of Sony cameras, but they're getting better. I support Alex, ALWAYS shoot dark! haha great video as always

[@MaineMountainMedia]

@Phillip Banes I don't doubt that the RX100V is outputting great colors, it's a great camera! It's one of their newer model cameras. As I mentioned, their newer cameras are getting better. It's native color profiles (if you don't shoot raw) that are weak in Sony. Also if you miss exposure, the red channel (and green channel) go wacky real quick when correcting exposures. 7:55 Omar discusses and shows examples of skin tones. If you're happy with your camera, ignore my comment and keep creating! Cheers.

[@RachelWhelton]

It's the autofocus that brings me to this juncture where I am contemplating whether to buy this and keep my Fuji XT-4, or trade-in the Fuji to get this plus a nice lens. Sad because I love the Fuji and we only get into arguments about the focusing in video, which is weak. The question now is whether I would miss the Fuji or not.

An excellent and a well thought out analysis. Loved the video.

[@Imaging80]

Very nice summary. Having used the A7M4 for 6 months I agree with most. However, I found the color tweaking not so straightforward. I'm grateful you're mentioning this point. My advice to anyone who's interested - be aware that for landscape photography with this camera you may require to do some serious color tweaking beyond "auto WB". It's better for people, snappy colors etc. But greens, browns, blues, greys (clouds in they sky) - they were challenging to work with for me.

[@tayinternational]

7:27 I have the same issue with shots being a little under exposed , but come out great after lifting shadows . When I look thru the evf it looks perfect but after I review them in camera they are often a lil dark , so if I can I make adjustments and shoot it again .

[@carmenfissenden2530]

Totally agree , Omar . Cameras are tools ha ha . Some more desirable than others , depending on personal preferences. My thing was and still is the em10 Mkii . Light , easy to carry and really lasts all day shooting . Like with all tools there are their strengths and weaknesses . So, to all those looking for perfection : it doesn’t exist; but those who know what they want and know where the best compromise is to fulfilling those needs ; then go for it. Just love the videos Omar and the straight talking and no holds barred views . Until your next video - thanks once again and look forward to catching you again pretty soon.

Can you discuss about Sony creative style vs picture profile in relation to photography. Which affects RAW and which acts like Fuji film simulation?

[@ThanhThanh-it1pm]

Fuji film simulation just effect jpg. you can produce that color after by raw and software (lightroom,...) Sony picture profile just for video. slog2 slog3, s cinetone. Sony creative style is very similar fujfilm simulation but it doesnt have much funtion like fujifim. ony efect JPG file for ex Classic Chrome Dynamic Range: DR200 Highlight: +2 (High) Shadow: +1 (Medium-High) Color: -1 (Medium-Low) Sharpness: 0 (Medium) Noise Reduction: -2 (Low) White Balance: Auto, +1 Red & -2 Blue ISO: Auto up to ISO 3200 sony doesn't have Classic chrome, Highlight and Shadow. any thing else sony does have. sony creative style:standard, Vivid,..similar Provia or Velvia (color doesn't match) fujifim have separate menu for film simulation. sony doesn t have. lightroom have Sony creative style color for sony raw file.

Yes Omar! This video came at the perfect time! I'm about to hit the Go Button and switch to the Sony system for my professional work. I'm going with the A7IV and decided the Sigma 24mm 1.4 Art and the Tamron 35-105 F2-F2.8 seems to be an absolute weapon of a lens, I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts on the Tamron for wedding and event photography instead of the G Master 70-200 mkII.

[@keola36]

Great video Omar. I agree with you - I’m patiently waiting for the Z6iii. Hoping the autofocus is close to that of the A7 series. I may even go for the rumored upcoming Z8. I use a Z6ii right now and love it - but the autofocus is definetly not as good as the A7iii that I used last year. The color science and RAW processing of the A73 just never satisfied me. Appreciate the time you take to make these videos for us. Peace

[@gilcarag274]

The only thing is you don’t know how long the wait for the z8 is going to be. What I like with Sony is the level of customisation.

[@keola36]

@Phillip Banes in perfect lighting conditions it was alright - but if you were shooting outdoors in harsh lighting or dark shadows - the Sony skin tones would always seem alittle “off”. Im not sure the technical terms - but in these same conditions - the Z6ii is giving me much better images. I shot with 35mm 1.4 GM and 85mm 1.4 ART when I had the A7iii.

[@keola36]

This is so reassuring. Yesterday, I traded my Nikon Z6 ii and lenses for an A7IV and two lenses. I’d rented the Sony 3 times just to make sure on my choice. The autofocus is pure witchcraft.

[@mr.frandy7692]

i can't really stress enough how much an improvement the video quality is between the a7iv and the a7iii. It's another level, and I'm sure that 10-bit color helps quite a bit. This camera however tends to be too sharp, so dial in the detail to at least -6 or ideally -7, and it also looks a lot more organic in certain situation if you can add a filter that will bloom the highlights a subtle amount.

[@tigerwallah61]

immediate G.A.S. What do you recon ... how far apart is an X-h2s from this in terms of focus reliability? Thanks for your work and keep up the good vibes.

[@erik6678]

I had the sony a7c (of course not the a7iv) and switched to the x-h2s, as i have a x100v and want to stick to one system. From my experience the autofocus of the x-h2s is very good. But of course you will miss the touch tracking feature of the sony. With the fuji you can't use touch tracking in video mode. Besides that eye autofocus works fine.

[@_maximilianhinz]

@@erik6678 I had a little bit of a hands on in our local store just now, from a stills perspective I found the X-H2s was at least as good as the A7III. Of cause then there is the touch/ object tracking of the A7IV. But who knows what a firmware update might be able to do. But still, you could track an object with a half pressed shutter in stills mode. For sure there are a lot of things still to explore and test.

how does the colors and working with the raw files (latitude) compared between the Sony A7MK4 and Z6III?

I’ve seen SO MANY people switching to Sony lately from other brands (myself included). Even die hard Fuji fans can’t resist after getting just a taste of Sony AF. I’ve been using the A7iv for 6 months and I thrilled with the results. I probably should have switched a while ago, but I got there eventually. Great video Omar!!

[@Eyeofkamau]

@@gilcarag274 40fps isn’t the selling point lol, no one needs that.

[@francescopuglisi1]

Ciao amico mio. You are the only one who notices that Sony's strength is not so much the reliability of the AFC, but the practicality of its use. Two other things about the A7M4 that nobody talks about are: the possibility of seeing with the flash mounted on the hot shoe the actual exposure of the environment, with the other machines you have to turn off the flash. And, in the video field, in addition to switching instantly with the appropriate dial, regardless of the priority set by the PASM dial, you can independently manage the exposure triad with a combination of dials and buttons. So you can work in video with priorities and automatisms different from photos, without having to change the PASM dial from time to time

Would like to get your opinion on the newer Canon systems to see if they compare and if so which one would you recommend.

@@muneermajeed7539 Canon are more expensive because the cameras are built better and to last. Canon (and Nikon) have been making cameras for however many decades while Sony only recently started. You will see recent videos where people switch to Canon from Sony because the Sony camera lasts only two years. So in the long run Canon is cheaper.

The best focusing i've ever use. I just need to think about the composition. The noise is ok with me. The raw editing also ok. Its jpeg is awesome, very trendy but I still miss the fuji color 😁. The most feature that i miss from fuji is the display review images. I can continue shot on evf but when i need to see review image, i just need to look on LCD.

Sounds like the A7IV is a nice camera. And even though a camera is just a "tool" I don't think people necessarily have to switch out their entire system just because another manufacturer has raised the bar on certain features in a new model. Their current system most likely will come out with a similar model. The different camera makers usually leap frog each other in product development over time. It may be a different situation for photographers who do a lot of paid work and the new camera really helps them out in a concrete way.

I've got an X-T2 (X-T5 hopoefully in a few days) and I bought it when I started with photography four years ago because it was recommended to me in the store where I bought it. With what I know now I would probably buy a Sony as it's indeed the better camera with more lenses. Now I'm in the Fuji ecosystem and I'm not going to sell 7 lenses just so I can shoot with a slightly better camera. Moreover, the (full frame) Sony lenses are by no means cheap. But most importantly, the X-T2 is fun to shoot, I'm not sure if I would say the same about the A IV.

3rd party is great on Sony and quite a bit cheaper a lot of the time. But Fuji is getting there as well... Everyone is really, except Canon R. Nikon Z is just waiting for it and they have a couple (rumored to be) rebranded Tamron lens designs in their current line up. Every system has its pros, even Canon R, but the latter definitely rides a thin line between being good on hardware and frustrating on user experience / support regarding the eco system.

[@ecitizenmichael]

I love my fuji and Sony. They get along great 😁 Wish the Sony had that quieter shutter like Fuji

[@btlcreativemedia3038]

That flippy screen on the A7iv & A7siii is super annoying when it can’t extend/flip completely because of the sides of the rig around the body.

roll intro...(1 second intro)...i like this guy

[@ytSouljah]

so good i might buy another

[@markshirley01]

The only thing that worries me about the A74 is Manny Ortiz comment about the A7R5 getting the Auto White Balance right - he said it hadn't been really usable until then on Sony cameras. Plus I also love the tilt/swivel screen on the A7R5.

What does the A7R5 do that theA7R4 does not do?

[@memcrew1]

Hey Omar, we ‘ve “talked” in the past, about my lowlight issue, working especially in nightclubs, shooting candids with motion.. I still rely on my D750, but I’m tired of waiting Nikon z6iii or sth… I think you made it easier for me.. Do you believe the Sony a7iv is the upgrade from the D750 that I’m waiting for?

[@ogonzilla]

Only YOU will know. 100 times faster but make sure you try it first. mirrorless takes a little getting used to.
