The a7 IV gains the ability to close its mechanical shutter when the camera is turned off, helping to prevent dust build-up on the sensor. Shutter blades tend to be very lightweight, which also means they can be pretty fragile, so this should be seen as dust prevention, rather than a physical protection measure. Battery

If as a photographer you need the highest possible resolution and the ability to capture extremely detailed images, the R5 will be the better choice. Which would you buy for the low light performance: Sony A7 IV – ✅

The AF Assist function, inherited from the Cinema Line FX6, lets you seamlessly switch to and from manual focus during movie shoots. When this feature has been turned on, rotating the focus ring temporarily switches operation from autofocus to manual focus to allow you to deliberately shift your focus to a different subject.

You can choose between three lens views: the default Wide (16-34mm), Max SuperView (middle ground), and the Max HyperView (the extremest view). Perhaps the only slight disappointment is that the A7 IV's 4K/60p mode is only available with a 'Super 35' crop (which is similar in size to an APS-C sensor). Naturally, Sony wants video shooters to upgrade to cameras like the Sony A7S III, but that might still be a slight disappointment to those who were hoping for a completely uncompromising hybrid camera.But if you want to handle the editing yourself, you can do so with a wide range of video templates. It features everything from vlogs, travel, food to family gatherings, parties, and more.

Both of these cameras have very impressive eye detect autofocus being able to get tact sharp images where it matters most. Which would you buy for continuous shooting: Canon EOS R5 – ✅ The Sony A7 IV may not be the most powerful mirrorless hybrid camera you can buy right now, but it’s certainly one of the best. It’s a competent all-rounder that produces both high quality stills and video, with a ferocious autofocusing system, exceptional viewfinder and premium build quality. There are also a range of features that will appeal to those looking to step up from enthusiast into the semi-pro or even professional realm: a CF Express port, a wide range of dials and controls, 4:2:2 color and SLog recording will all solve particular headaches for serious filmmakers in particular. And with a large choice of lenses available from both Sony and third party manufacturers, you’ll have plenty of options for getting creative with glass. Battery life is, again, solid rather than spectacular. The official CIPA rating is 520 shots per charge (when using the electronic viewfinder). While that's actually a 15% drop from the Sony A7 III, we found that estimate to be a little conservative and it can shoot 4K video for around two hours. In our tests, it managed to shoot 4K/60p for two hours and 20 minutes with no overheating, and a few minutes longer in 4K/24p mode before the battery died. Sony A7 IV review: image and video quality If as a photographer you need the highest possible resolution and the ability to capture extremely detailed images, the Sony A7 IV will be the better choice. But you will still be very happy with the results from the R6 which is more than capable of printing large printsBy today's standards, they are all low resolution. You could be forgiven for thinking otherwise though, since they try to not draw attention to rear screen resolution by using "dots" instead of the actual resolution. Delivering outstanding performance and excellent image quality in both stills and movies, the α7 IV’s new 33.0 megapixel1 Exmor R™ CMOS image sensor provides high-speed readout, high sensitivity, low noise, and highly accurate colour reproduction. Flagship-level image processing with BIONZ XR™ The camera’s Quad-VGA OLED viewfinder has roughly 1.6x the resolution of the α7 III viewfinder, with a 37.3° FOV and a 23mm high eyepoint. Side-opening vari-angle rear monitor for flexible shooting When it comes to continuous shooting, the Canon EOS R6 and the Sony A7 IV have some key differences.
