Sony Alpha 7 IV

1 With this front dial, the two on the top and a rear dial too, there’s no shortage of dials!

2 The viewfinder offers 100% coverage and 3.69m dots, slightly up on the A7 III.

3 The new 33MP Exmor R sensor is responsible for much of the A7 IV’s speed and power.

Traditionally, the Alpha 7 has been the range’s ‘vanilla’ camera, with the ‘R’ models adding resolution and the ’S’ models adding sensitivity. But there’s nothing vanilla about the A7 IV. While it technically supersedes the A7 III, it’s an altogether more advanced camera that, we think, targets a higher-level audience.
