Sony A7rIV gets Gold Award at Dpreview: “frankly, the camera to beat right now”

Share

The  A7rIV sells great in the USA (full ranking here)

Dpreview published the full Sony A7rIV review:

“Although the a7R IV’s borderline-bonkers 60MP of resolution grabbed most of the headlines upon its release (and understandably so), the real story here is how busy Sony has been working on refinements to the body and the interface. The result is a camera that gets out of your way much more so than any a7-series camera before it, so that you can focus on your photography and really make the most of all those megapixels on tap. For professional wedding photographers, landscape shooters and studio portraitists, the Sony a7R IV is, frankly, the camera to beat right now.”

Now let’s see what Sony will bring on the A7rV in 2/3 years….100 Megapixels?

Sony A7rIV and new accessories:
Sony A7rIV in USA/CA at BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera, Amazon, BuyDig, Henrys.
Sony A7rIV in EU at Calumet DE, ParkUK, WexUK, Calumet NL.
Sony A7rIV in Asia at Sony Japan. Sony Australia.
Sony VG-C4EM grip in USA at BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon, FocusCamera, BuyDig, ParkUK, WexUK.
ECM-B1M Digital Audio Shotgun Microphone at BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon, FocusCamera, BuyDig, Park UK.
