Sony Alpha 7 IV Full-frame Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera with 28-70mm Zoom Lens Kit

The Sony Alpha 7 IV is my first full-frame camera from Sony, and I’ve been loving it so far. It feels like a solid step up in image quality and features, and everything about it just works smoothly. The camera operates quickly, and the menu system is easy to get the hang of, even for someone like me who's still learning.The viewfinder is excellent—bright, clear, and makes framing shots feel natural. I’ve also been really impressed with how easy it is to connect the camera to my phone. Transferring photos wirelessly has been a breeze. The only thing I’ve noticed is that JPEG files get slightly compressed when transferred to Android, which I’m still trying to find a workaround for. But otherwise, the whole setup process and app experience have been great.I started with the kit lens, which is actually pretty decent for general use. But if you’re serious about leveling up, getting a few additional lenses makes a big difference. Actually, i shouldn't have picked up kit lense option but there was not much price different so i decided to go with kit. I tried it with the Meike 85mm f/1.8 Pro, and it’s been performing really well—great image quality, and autofocus and manual focus both work nicely. I’m also thinking about picking up a 35mm soon for a more versatile setup.Build-wise, the A7 IV feels tough and well-made—exactly what you'd expect from Sony. It’s comfortable to hold and carry around, and I’ve had no issues with handling or durability so far.All in all, I’m really happy with the A7 IV. It's a camera that feels professional without being intimidating, and I can already tell it’s going to grow with me as I learn more and experiment with different styles of shooting.

I recently upgraded to the Sony Alpha 7 IV with the 28-70mm zoom lens, and it has completely exceeded my expectations. This camera is an absolute powerhouse, perfectly blending stunning photo quality with exceptional video performance.The 33MP full-frame sensor delivers sharp, detailed, and vibrant images even in low-light situations. Colors are rich and accurate, and the dynamic range is phenomenal. The autofocus system is lightning-fast and incredibly accurate, especially with eye detection for both humans and animals. It’s made shooting portraits and action shots seamless.For video creators, the 4K 60p recording with 10-bit 4:2:2 color depth is a game-changer. The image stabilization ensures smooth, cinematic footage, even when handheld. The footage looks professional straight out of the camera, and the customization options allow you to tweak settings to suit any workflow.The camera feels robust and well-built without being too heavy. The grip is comfortable for extended shoots, and the articulating touchscreen makes composing shots at any angle effortless. The intuitive menu system is much improved and easy to navigate, even for someone transitioning from another brand.The included 28-70mm lens is a solid starter for general photography. While not the fastest lens out there, it’s versatile enough for landscapes, portraits, and everyday shots. I’d recommend pairing the A7 IV with a higher-end lens in the future to unleash the camera’s full potential.

Coming from an A6400, this is a great camera. The Menu system upgrades are much more intuitive. The pictures and video are crisp and the focus capability is top notch. All that being said, where the hell is the flippy screen? This sideways flip screen for creators is a downgrade even from the a6400. I'd pay $500 more for the fully articulating screen like is on the A7RV...

Good value for the price. The quality of the photos are outstanding

Can’t wait for vacation to use this camera. I like the use of my iPhone to control the camera. Can change all settings through the phone. Can view photos right after taking them and it is saved to the phone and to the two SD chips in the camera. Plenty of buttons that you can save common used settings to.

My son is working on a digital degree and needed a pro camera. This one works wonderfully! Even is clearer and has as many or more bells and whistles as some of the higher priced heavier equipment they have for the class. Downside is the accessories are very expensive.

Amazing!!! Love it

It’s a pricey camera but well worth it if you are looking for an upgrade or even a starting point for camera gear. Despite what others may say, I find it intuitive to use and the image quality is quite good. The important thing to remember is you need a nice lens to make the most of it but the kits lens is decent enough to get you up and running while you learn the camera. All in all, worth the price tag if it’s within your means.
