ABOUT THIS VIDEO - I covered 1/3 of the list in my last video so a lot of what I say ends up being a repeat but the rest are all little upgrades that are worth noting if you are considering to buy either camera or looking to upgrade to the 4.

AWESOME Video, Jason! Main thing I wanted to know is if settings in Video and Photo mode were Independent or Dependent on each other and you were the only one that answered or at least answered it properly! And also only one to provide detailed views on how that is done (and that's a pretty cool new feature to let the user decide which ones can be independent or not). Thanks again for this very informative and detailed video!
I believe the battery grip now fits all current bodies, A7IV,, A7RIV, A7SIII, A9II, and A1. Also with A7IV you can crop anywhere within a photo and save it in-camera.
I think the upgrade from 3 to 4 only makes sense for video shooters. All major updates like better stabilisation, anti focus breathing, 4k60, no record limit etc. are in fact just video options. The 3 rocks good enough in photography and if it's not professional enough for you, the 4 won't be either.
As an A5100 shooter I feel a bit like a bum here, but I see the A7iv vs iii benefits in photo: 33m px sensor - better AF - electronic shutter - 3,68m px EVF - better ergo & UI - anti-dust shutter - LC RAW - unlimited burst for action
I love the focus mapping, that is really intuitive; breathing comp, active stabilization and the faster eye/animal CAF and tracking are also really huge innovations and upgrades.
This was the video that tipped me towards upgrading, lol. I wasn't going to, because I'm mostly a photographer, but I've loved my a7III so I'm sure I'll only love my a7IV even more. I know I'll have to wait a while to get it, but I'm hoping it will be worth the wait :)
When you upgrade, kindly pass down the A7 III to me. I badly need a good camera for vlogging and I can't afford one now. You will have helped me forever. Thanks in advance
Oh boy... As a hobbiest, mostly photographer as well, I was surely NOT going to purchase the A7IV.. but GAS is too strong.. I'm selling my A7III along with all of my old Canon gear and that should get pretty close to the price of the A7IV.
I kinda agree, but I have an a6400, a73 and a7r3. I think I can trade my a6400, which was a dedicated video cam, and another full frame so I can keep 2 cameras instead of three. But which full frame to trade in....
@@WillStinton No way upgrade this new camera because sony gives 5fps for uncompressed and loseless compressed raw. TERRIBLE!! TERRIBLE ROLLING SHUTTER, Lcd Resolution still worse. Loud Mechanical shutter and useless Electronic shutters because of banding, no indoor photography and no fast moving photography.
I’m glad I picked up an a7riiia a few months ago, on sale for $2,300 bucks. I wasn’t too impressed with the rumor specs and needed a 2nd body for my photo work. I can’t believe they added a 1.5x crop to 4K 60p recording. It’s so frigg’n stupid. I really don’t know who this camera is supposed to be for at this price point. The rear LCD is still garbage compared to the refreshed a7r series’s bodies and the A1 and a7siii. If you want this camera for video work, you’re honestly better off saving an extra $1,000 and buying an a7siii
@@Zazizzlicious Just because it doesn't have everything You need doesn't mean it won't satisfy so many other people. And to just say "save up $1000" more is ridiculous.
I guess I'll go with A7IV as my first FF camera. Event it's almost 2 times more expensive then A7III in my 2nd world coutry. The only thing I'm missing here are anamorphic modes, especially one that reads full sensor as 3:2 ... that would make this ideal camera.
As someone leaning more and more to video, the A7III has been fun, but the A7SIII with all framerates in FF and the fastest most minimal rolling shutter CMOS and dual native ISO is just hard to beat. A7IV is a super powerful photo video camera that seems more 60/40 rather than 50/50 I kind of wish Sony didn’t make it 33mp but kept 24mp or made 28mp if that meant the 4K60p would not have to crop to APS-C (Super35). And would keep rolling shutter a bit more in check. Those 2 factors are too critical for video to compromise on. And I’m actually okay with shooting stills at 12mp. Just nail the composition and never crop. And if some high end job would come along, I’ll rent an A7R series if the client requires super large files. But usually clients complain files of 24mp are too big for social media… so yeah.
Can't fault your logic, it expresses exactly how I feel about this new camera. Sony decided to listen more to the wallet rather than what users really needed, although don't get me wrong, it's a great camera overall but such a shame for the cropped 4k 60 🤦🏻♂️
I do stills with a7S3 too - 12mp compressed RAW is great & easier to handle/store, yes 24mp would of been better for videography but Sony probably wanted to improve on both fronts & that they did. Curious to see a7Cii as well as a7S4 (19mp from fx9?)
@@mirrorlessny storage is a good point although since I bought a Qnap Nas I didn't experience any more issues with space. I'm curios too about the A7C mark ii, still think that A7siii is the best compromise between cost and potential of production level. Trying to put hands on a second hand one, it's hard but I don't give up
hey Jason i am wedding photographer and videographer in Pakistan. I am Nikon user and waiting for this camera since from 2 years. i had an option to switch to canon or Nikon mirrorless system. everybody knows Nikon af system is not good enough. so i decided to wait for sony a7iv. after releasing this camera i am really disappointed because it has 1.5x crop on 4k 60 fps. canon r6 is the real competitor of sony a7iv, that camera has no crop on 4k 60fps. Sony should must be include 4k 60p at full frame. I was expecting that sony will provide at least 4k 60p at full frame and more 120fps on crop with limited time. sony is charging 700 dollars more than sony a7iii, for flipout screen, new menu, 9megapixels and additionally focus breathing feature. but 10 fps and crop factor on 4k 60p is a huge disappointment for every wedding videographer. so i decided to not buying sony a7iv.
Wow. A comprehensive list: totally unusual from a youtube reviewer. Congratulations, I am very happy that there is no cheesy question mark at the end of the title of your movie. So these two facts alone is enough reason for me to start watching ...
So… high-ISO video is noisier than a7iii… shown in your previous video (and also in Gordon Laing’s vid). Also, Gordon Laing’s video showed the video resolution/detail is same and no improvement over a7iii. That’s unfortunate (esp with the $500 increase)… IQ matters more than all these new features… it’s the only thing other people see after all. Features only matter to the photographer/videographer… not your viewers or other people.
So if image quality is the same on 2 cameras, the camera with much more features should be free and so both cameras should cost the same? So Sony should sell their cameras at a loss now? lol. come on
So they increased the sensor resolution without sacrificing video quality and adding 10-bit colour, and this is a bad thing? It's honestly ridiculous, all of you people complaining seem to want this camera to cost $4000
Sony can put a bag on his head... Shame on you... Only 1M of dot on the screen?! Only raw uncompressed 6fps?! Only 4k60 on super 35?! The maximum price of this camera is 2100 .. And it is already very well paid for what has evolved..
Thx @JasonVong. This is very comprehensive . I am a a73 shooter for a long time . If I get A74 and A7s3 as A and B cam , will the color match be a problem ?
#35: 10fps is only possible with Compressed RAW. do you think they will release a firmware update to increase/fix this? otherwise, who wants to shoot 5-6fps? am I missing something??
For wildlife and sports, sure. But if you can't shoot a portrait or something with 6fps the camera isn't the problem. And the lossy compressed RAW shows less of a difference to lossless compressed the higher your ISO is. So just shoot lossy compressed RAW if you need the speed and get 10fps.
My current A6300 can also do 10fps, and I think I have used this feature about once per year, so I take the increase in megapixel over an increase in FPS anytime.
Jason, this is the best review that every other YT-er should have made.. they all just talk about 100fps and the crop at 4k60p.. this is going to be a very very worthy upgrade from the A7-III imo
Sony's pushermen made the new song: Some say buy it as a b camera !! Others compare with a73, a 3-year-old camera rather than its real competitors, such as the new Canon, Nicon, Fuji and Panasonic cameras. Game Over for the a74, let's dream of the a75.
The point of watching a comparison is to determine if I should upgrade or not. This video does not help. Of course, different cameras models would have differences.
i want to change from Nikon D7200 APS-C to a full frame camera but i can't decide between the A7III and the A7IV because of the price. Its 1000 Euro more for the A7 IV. And which lense should i get? Sigma 24-70 2.8 or Tamron 28-75 2.8....
Thanks for the video, I’ve been trying to decide between the Sony a7c and Sony a7 iii and Sony A74 for film making. Which Sony camera Do you think that would be a great camera for Film making?
hey man, thats really great video, maybe I have stupid question, but is it bit discutable about a7iv, so how is it about low light, I read somewhere that is it better than in previosly model a7iii. Thanx for answer
Good Video sir, I have one doubt : Now i plan to buy a new gear for cinematography video ,already i had canon mk4. some poeple asking video. so that i plan. can i buy for this and its good camera compare to Canon R6 ? some guys telling R6 best for videography....your idea sir......????
Just the vastly improved focusing alone is a great upgrade. But i love that finally there is a fully functional touch screen. I also really like that when you switch to video it has a video menu. And in stills its a stills menu. Also the new lossless raw. And no video record limit. And the flip screen and ergernomics. Great buffer if using the best card. And 33mp is a perfect sweet spot. Seems like a great camera. But i see people whining that it won't shoot uncompressed raw at 10fps. Or full frame 4k60p. There's always something people are unhappy about. Personally for what i do I'm still happy with my A7r lll. But if i was looking for a new camera i would be very happy with the A74.
My kingdom for the first reviewer who can tell me if the A7IV still has the problematic shutter as the failure-prone one on the A7III. Also, has the A7iii's striping issue with backlit subjects been resolved on the A7IV?
Hi Jason, I think you can revisit this and make a new video out of the title with the A7IV and all the new lenses. Make sure you include lenses that works for both photographers and videographers as the A7IV is a hybrid beast. Good luck!
I’m new to this so I’m just checking - do people really bother with the filters and effects thing??? Or is it just for reference before you edit in software? Also is the face softening pretty throw away? I’m thinking maybe low setting during live stream but maybe not
Jason, thank you for your excellent video. I plan to buy A7IV. I have a Canon 6D which has a built in GPS. I watched your videos that you travelled to other countries. Is there anyway I can buy a GPS separately so the location can be in the photo like the 6D? If not, what is your best advice? I prefer not to use the cell phone unless this is the only way. Thanks.
Is 422 that much better or worth it would be my only question for video editing. Is a color corrected 422 significant in terms of end product. If not the 3 can stay
Hey Jason, any thoughts against the RIV? I’m thinking of swapping as I don’t really need the 61MP but think I’d maybe miss the crop-ability. General photography but with some wildlife & bird. Really liking some features such as the screen rotate, but not liking the reduced FPS in uncompressed raw (unless cf express) - any obvious gotchas?
new sensor with more pixels, new articulating screen with touch screen menu, new 3 mode dial, larger and better ergo grip and a bunch of other upgrades...yeah, I see what you are saying, lol,
@@mirrorlessny It absolutely is. I have one. I also have the Canon 5D2 and i thought that was incredible - and it was IF and only IF you know how to use it well. The pictures were quite good / excellent - all lens dependent of course. Camera shake was like any film camera - tripod dependent! or double that of the lens length or held against a solid surface. Consider it a film camera and go from there and you are OK. Don't do nights at over 640 ISO unless you love grain. Video was pretty darned good, but not perks like auto focus, night, or high ISO. But in its day, it was a revolution and well deserved. But the Sony A7iii is a complete game changer - no going back. The images were astounding, the camera shake almost entirely eliminated, the night photography unbelievable, EVF way ahead of optical and large in image view, flip up / tilt out rear screen, e-mount which means almost any lens made is now available, video is nudging world class, options galore, all day battery life, I mean - duhhhh. As much as I liked the Canon, it just does not compare anymore. I still have it and was thinking of selling it, but it reminds me of how much I need to go back to my roots when I get lazy with my Sony. That Canon makes you bloody well work for good pictures - not easy stuff. And that has value right there.
Should I buy the A7c or the A7 IV (A7c german market: 2000 Euros and the A7 IV german market: 2800 Euros), Dec. 2021 the price was 1600 Euros (A7c) and I don't get the huge price gain at all. So if I will spend more than 2k on a camera it should be a solid purchase, future proof as well and I can't wait for the A7C ii. To be honest from 2k to 2,8k is not much difference if we compare the price and value. It will be my first camera and I am a hybrid shooter with my Samsung S20 plus. Can somebody help me out?
I'm curious as well, 1080p is known to be soft/line-skipped in Sony's 4k mirrorless because they are designed for improved 4k (from6k) looks like similar story with a7iv & we already see poor rolling shutter
@jasonvong hello, thanks for good information, I’m going to get the a74 for shooting my newborn who is super alert. Should I get the Sony 24-70mm f2.8 len or Sony 24mm f1.4 or the one comes with the camera should be useful enough? I don’t have professional lighting, I use the globe string light which was hanging on my windows for long time, also I have limit space for moving around. What do you think about the tamron or sigma 24-70mm f2.8? Are they support good image stabilizer? I need more opinions for getting the right gear in budget or any recommendation from you. Please advise. Thanks.
Great video, one question: *My primary passion will be night/low light/astrophotography. Some occasional videos. Which one should I opt for? A7R III/A7S III or the newly A7S IV (since A7 IV has release, I have not included A7 III)* Thanks. 📸🎞
What a ridiculous comparison. You're disappointed that a $2500 camera isn't as good as a $6700 cinema camera or the rumored specs of a $6000-7000 pro-sports still camera?
ABOUT THIS VIDEO - I covered 1/3 of the list in my last video so a lot of what I say ends up being a repeat but the rest are all little upgrades that are worth noting if you are considering to buy either camera or looking to upgrade to the 4. Hope this video helps! Cheers!

Thanks for a great video! What external monitor was that in the latter part of the video? Around #45
The buffer is actually smaller using fastest Sony Tough G card against A7III and with some RAW file options much smaller.
it's official, birds aren't animals, they are aliens! Sony says so in their new menu 😜
Your video made me want to upgrade from A7iii to A7iv. My bank crying inside, my wallet already dying 😭
This is how a proper comparison looks like. We're talking about 50 differences. You name it, and it's covered.

The 3 rocks good enough in photography and if it's not professional enough for you, the 4 won't be either.
The improved AF is a thing though.
And the AF from the A1, that just gets glossed over ?
CFE card -> almost unlimited burst shooting. I hate it so much in the A73 when it starts lagging after 20 something pix...
As an A5100 shooter I feel a bit like a bum here, but I see the A7iv vs iii benefits in photo: 33m px sensor - better AF - electronic shutter - 3,68m px EVF - better ergo & UI - anti-dust shutter - LC RAW - unlimited burst for action
I love the focus mapping, that is really intuitive; breathing comp, active stabilization and the faster eye/animal CAF and tracking are also really huge innovations and upgrades.

Didn't lose much!

Thank you for clarifying a lot of the differences between the two cameras! This cleared up a lot of confusion for me.
Does it have real time focus tracking while shooting videos at 120/100p ? As that is something I really miss in A7iii.

Can you say more about point n.34? Do you test flicker and banding with electronic shutter?
Excellent video.. thank you. But your link to Squarespace isn't working.
thank brother for make this video. . . help me alot!!!
Sony's pushermen made the new song: Some say buy it as a b camera !! Others compare with a73, a 3-year-old camera rather than its real competitors, such as the new Canon, Nicon, Fuji and Panasonic cameras. Game Over for the a74, let's dream of the a75.
Those are not competitors for sony. Sony has 46% share of market
I'm still not really very exited, but going through the list helped :)
thanks
No recording limit is HUGE and catalyst browse support WHYYYY was someone telling me to NOT get this camera!!!
Thanks for all the infos …I will surely check them out when I receive my AIV 🤪😉👍
Have a great day

The point of watching a comparison is to determine if I should upgrade or not. This video does not help. Of course, different cameras models would have differences.
what will you use it for?
i want to change from Nikon D7200 APS-C to a full frame camera but i can't decide between the A7III and the A7IV because of the price. Its 1000 Euro more for the A7 IV. And which lense should i get? Sigma 24-70 2.8 or Tamron 28-75 2.8....
Thanks so much Jason!
This video is blowing my mind. Flippy touch screen with 30MP was good enough for me but damn. Great changes. Such value for price, much wow.
Very useful, many thanks.
Thanks for the video, I’ve been trying to decide between the Sony a7c and Sony a7 iii and Sony A74 for film making. Which Sony camera Do you think that would be a great camera for Film making?
Which one did you later buy?
hey man, thats really great video, maybe I have stupid question, but is it bit discutable about a7iv, so how is it about low light, I read somewhere that is it better than in previosly model a7iii. Thanx for answer
you mentioned 10FPS uncompressed raw but i read somewhere that 10fps is only for compress raw. which is correct?
Good Video sir, I have one doubt : Now i plan to buy a new gear for cinematography video ,already i had canon mk4. some poeple asking video. so that i plan. can i buy for this and its good camera compare to Canon R6 ? some guys telling R6 best for videography....your idea sir......????
What’s the wireless transfer like? Comparable to airdrop or is it slower and not as seamless?
STILL crop in 4k60??? Ummmm how did they mess this up?
I think it's limitations of sensor/processor, just like a7iii, but at least we get selfie screen, 10bit, active ibis & some form of 4k60
Low light noise performace test against the a7 iii?? Please!
Just the vastly improved focusing alone is a great upgrade. But i love that finally there is a fully functional touch screen. I also really like that when you switch to video it has a video menu. And in stills its a stills menu. Also the new lossless raw. And no video record limit. And the flip screen and ergernomics. Great buffer if using the best card. And 33mp is a perfect sweet spot. Seems like a great camera. But i see people whining that it won't shoot uncompressed raw at 10fps. Or full frame 4k60p. There's always something people are unhappy about. Personally for what i do I'm still happy with my A7r lll. But if i was looking for a new camera i would be very happy with the A74.
Jason Vong can you compare the sony a7IV with Sony a7RIII? Thanks
Wow. You definitely spent a lot of time on this one. Thanks for all this info. So awesome. Great reference video.
Jason, Great video and you gave me the final push to pull the trigger. Thanks!
Hey Jason! Great video as always. Would love to see a Sony A7IV vs R6 comparison!
me too, especially 4k60
My kingdom for the first reviewer who can tell me if the A7IV still has the problematic shutter as the failure-prone one on the A7III. Also, has the A7iii's striping issue with backlit subjects been resolved on the A7IV?
hi jason, for number 41, are third party lens like tamron works with active stabilization ? how bad is it if we use non sony lens ? thanks...
Hey! I'm not Jason, but I have A7C and two Tamron lenses. The stabilization works great on these lenses as well 👌
@@F1REBEARD well, i mean for active stabilization as he said.. a7c didnt have active mode right ?
Hi Jason, I think you can revisit this and make a new video out of the title with the A7IV and all the new lenses. Make sure you include lenses that works for both photographers and videographers as the A7IV is a hybrid beast. Good luck!
I’m new to this so I’m just checking - do people really bother with the filters and effects thing??? Or is it just for reference before you edit in software? Also is the face softening pretty throw away? I’m thinking maybe low setting during live stream but maybe not
Jason, thank you for your excellent video. I plan to buy A7IV. I have a Canon 6D which has a built in GPS. I watched your videos that you travelled to other countries. Is there anyway I can buy a GPS separately so the location can be in the photo like the 6D? If not, what is your best advice? I prefer not to use the cell phone unless this is the only way. Thanks.
Is 422 that much better or worth it would be my only question for video editing. Is a color corrected 422 significant in terms of end product. If not the 3 can stay
Hey Jason, any thoughts against the RIV? I’m thinking of swapping as I don’t really need the 61MP but think I’d maybe miss the crop-ability. General photography but with some wildlife & bird. Really liking some features such as the screen rotate, but not liking the reduced FPS in uncompressed raw (unless cf express) - any obvious gotchas?
The biggest con I can think about is that it doesn't have the improved menu from the newer models
With a proper firmware update a7iii could have most of the a7iv features, but Sony has to sell cameras ...
New menu and white and red focus boxes and I'd be set
new sensor with more pixels, new articulating screen with touch screen menu, new 3 mode dial, larger and better ergo grip and a bunch of other upgrades...yeah, I see what you are saying, lol,
Wow, major improvements, hmm should I move from my A7iii? Tempting. Maybe I should learn how to take pictures First? 🤔 😁
a7iii is very good for photography, advanced level 😁
@@mirrorlessny It absolutely is. I have one. I also have the Canon 5D2 and i thought that was incredible - and it was IF and only IF you know how to use it well. The pictures were quite good / excellent - all lens dependent of course. Camera shake was like any film camera - tripod dependent! or double that of the lens length or held against a solid surface. Consider it a film camera and go from there and you are OK. Don't do nights at over 640 ISO unless you love grain. Video was pretty darned good, but not perks like auto focus, night, or high ISO. But in its day, it was a revolution and well deserved.
But the Sony A7iii is a complete game changer - no going back. The images were astounding, the camera shake almost entirely eliminated, the night photography unbelievable, EVF way ahead of optical and large in image view, flip up / tilt out rear screen, e-mount which means almost any lens made is now available, video is nudging world class, options galore, all day battery life, I mean - duhhhh.
As much as I liked the Canon, it just does not compare anymore. I still have it and was thinking of selling it, but it reminds me of how much I need to go back to my roots when I get lazy with my Sony. That Canon makes you bloody well work for good pictures - not easy stuff. And that has value right there.
Should I buy the A7c or the A7 IV (A7c german market: 2000 Euros and the A7 IV german market: 2800 Euros), Dec. 2021 the price was 1600 Euros (A7c) and I don't get the huge price gain at all. So if I will spend more than 2k on a camera it should be a solid purchase, future proof as well and I can't wait for the A7C ii. To be honest from 2k to 2,8k is not much difference if we compare the price and value. It will be my first camera and I am a hybrid shooter with my Samsung S20 plus. Can somebody help me out?
Just bought A7C
I'm more into video. Is the A7 IV better than the A7C ?
yes substantially = 10bit codecs, active ibis & more oversampling
Too much 😅
The only one we need 4k 60 fullframe 😂😂
I suspect it will be in a firmware update in the future when the A7siii ages a bit
I have no source or anything but there has been occasions of Sony adding things to a camera like this… like S-cinetone to the A7siii
@@EdwardWischer hope so , and i will sold my XT4 for it 😇
@@markariuskrismade7362 I cancelled Sony a7iv Pre ordered. Good decision ever made.
@@pematamang9268 we dont see any upgrade here maybe a7iii still worth
Jason, how is 1080p direct from the A7IV?
I'm curious as well, 1080p is known to be soft/line-skipped in Sony's 4k mirrorless because they are designed for improved 4k (from6k) looks like similar story with a7iv & we already see poor rolling shutter
@jasonvong hello, thanks for good information, I’m going to get the a74 for shooting my newborn who is super alert. Should I get the Sony 24-70mm f2.8 len or Sony 24mm f1.4 or the one comes with the camera should be useful enough? I don’t have professional lighting, I use the globe string light which was hanging on my windows for long time, also I have limit space for moving around. What do you think about the tamron or sigma 24-70mm f2.8? Are they support good image stabilizer? I need more opinions for getting the right gear in budget or any recommendation from you. Please advise. Thanks.
How about the full hdmi port? A7III had the micro hdmi..
Hey bro, the A7IV has a full size HDMI 👍
Great video, one question: *My primary passion will be night/low light/astrophotography. Some occasional videos. Which one should I opt for? A7R III/A7S III or the newly A7S IV (since A7 IV has release, I have not included A7 III)* Thanks. 📸🎞
The most expensive one in the budget. Of course the A7SIII can be excluded based on your need
@@DrX0630 Thanks for letting me know, appreciate it 😊
I was surprised by the A74 the 60p crop kind of made it a flop to me, especially with the exciting rumours of the Z9 and the innovation of the DJI 4D.
What a ridiculous comparison. You're disappointed that a $2500 camera isn't as good as a $6700 cinema camera or the rumored specs of a $6000-7000 pro-sports still camera?
Shutter closer is very essential for those who has one body and multiple lenses and have to switch on the go.
Sticking to the a7iii and rather wait for the a7cii.
