Thank you so much for watching! xx
I'm actually surprised at how good the a7riv handles noise in low light, I was expecting heavier grain. This was awesome comparison video :)
Well at this price range...lol
Honestly same!! And thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!
honestly I have an r4, and its not very good. Im not impressed with the iso. Literally I wouldn't go past 3200 if I had to. Also 120 fps is crap, this is my first mirrorless, and im not very impressed with the $3.5k camera
@@joshlizee Have one too, and I am very happy with the results. For low light I use my A9ii usually, but the A7RIV is not that bad either but 61MP is 61MP and make a bit of a difference - of course.
@@djedje5750 ikr lol
Makes you realise how good the A7III considering how it’s competing toe to toe with the A7RIV for a much cheaper price. If you do landscapes or need the extra pixels get the 4. If you do video and photography get the A7III
Yeah performance wise I would say they are pretty much on the same playing field!
Even for landscapes, I would find it hard to find the need for the extra resolution on most days.
The advantage of the R4 and by far the best use case for it is on cropping. If you shoot small birds you will often find that you cannot get close enough to them to fill the frame even with 600mm-900mm or more. They still end up as small on a FF sensor. The R4 allows you to crop to ridiculous amounts and still get great details. You add that setup to Topaz Denoise and you have something that it truly special. You cannot get that with the A7III or A9 with their 24MP sensors
Wax Wings Photo yeah it is overkill but as the gent above me has said it’s useful if you want to crop your images. Also a lot of landscape photographers have prints which they sell so the higher megapixel count helps with the print quality
Do you think that if I wanted to shoot jewelry, the A7RIV would be better since it has more pixels?
My main reason to use the A7RIV(after owning the A7R, A7RII) as a professional photographer is, that I love to work with prime lenses. The A7R4 gives me the flexibility to crop my shots in edit. And I mainly take pictures of people and rarely of landscape. So often I am super happy to have the extra pixels to go for that composition correction I am looking for without losing the quality. In low light photography the camera is still super amazing (especially with the prime lenses) and some quick and easy correction in Lightroom (when needed) does the rest. Of course there are the otherbenefits of the A7RIV I am not going into detail now. For filming in low light however I would love to have the A7RIII... Let me know your thoughts on that!
Your voice with the camera's together is something else 😍🥰
How are you recording the audio? 😍
Hey, Julia! I really love your photography! It gives me more idea on how to shoot my own pictures even though Im using my phone. 💙
Thank you so much that makes me so happy to hear 😄
It's amazing where camera tech is going. The A7R iv is beyond incredible and the iii is not far behind. In fact the iii was way ahead of its time. The next 5 years is going to be fun with Canon & Nikon upping their mirrorless game.
Exactly what I wanted to know in a comparison! Great breakdown and practical demo. Thank you both for being our ninjas!
Thank you, glad you liked it!
Excellent work
I was waiting for this comparaison from a long time thank you for doing this video ! Awsome videos 🤗
Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it!
Love your comparison videos! they're always very interesting. And your smile is so gorgeous!!
Thank you so much!
I found this channel today ✌✌ the "hey everyone " was so good😜 i saw it on repeat 😊
First off greetings from Cleveland, OH here in the States! Secondly, LOVE LOVE your accent. I’ve been watching your videos for almost 2 years now, as I just got into photography about 3 years ago. I currently have a A7RIII and am ready to upgrade to the A7RIV and just bought the A7C as my new B/second camera. I liked the A7RIII, but the A7RIV is insane! It just FEELS like a real pro level camera. I have played around with the A73 and while it’s good, I do a lot of model photography for my magazine, so resolution is key. Anywho, love your content and you are AMAZING to watch and listen to. Cheers!
I decided to trade in my A7III for a A7RIV a few weeks ago, one thing I have noticed that the shutter noise is quieter (dampen) with the A7RIV, and the dials feel much better to operate less and less clunky and more dampen on operation. The A7RIV feels a higher quality camera than the A7III altogether. I also agree that the memory slot operation is harder to use. (No chance of any accidental opening of the flap with the A7RIV.) So I am extremely happy with the trade up.
Aw nice! One thing I noticed after we filmed this video is that I really preferred what the A7R4 feels like in the hands. Since during this day it was mostly on a tripod I didn't really have a comment about it, but since then I have done a few portrait photoshoots on it and it's just so much more comfortable to hold!
Is it worth the $1000 difference?
Great comparison. You really talked about everything that really matters. Not going off of a spec sheet. Learnt a lot. Thank u. Like everyone else mentioned, the audio is super clear.
Lucky lady getting your hands on the A7Riv! I've just upgraded my R2 to the R3; as much a I wanted the r4, I was worried that 61MP was too much for me!
It would be cool to compare the 4 to the 3 in a similar video like this actually!
@@juliatrotti waiting for it since I chose r3 over r4 due to cost and larger file sizes.
I always watch your videos before I upgrade. I’m choosing between these two right now!
What a lovely photographer ❤️👍🏽
yes, my idol :) the beauty, modesty, soft tone while speaking, and most importantly her high photography skills. Even my wife understands that i'm crazy about Julia Trotti :)
Awesome video, will sure help a lot of people! I am a full time photographer and had both the A73 and A7RIV and ended up selling the A73 to have a combo of the A9 and A7R, my dream combo!
Thank you so much! And yeah that sounds like a great combo 😄
Thank you so much Julia, very helpful and informative comparative review! Good luck with your photography journey!
2 hours ago I randomly find this video on Instagram search posts, and now I randomly clicked on this video on youtube. What a coincidence :D
Excellent work. I was looking for this video for long.
Thank you!
That RIV has so much clarity even when zoomed in, been using the A7III for some time and I was pleased enough with it. Though seeing this comparison leaves me wanting that extra MPs. I guess ignorance really is bliss... :)
Yeah the 4 is something else! For me I don't really need all that extra resolution with portraits, butttt it would be nice while travelling 😅
Julia Trotti: indeed! Though, I’m curious as to how smooth was the editing process for them R4 files, i think the computer will struggle a bit? I am using a 2019 macbook pro with 8gb ram only for editing, for the a7iii filesizes it is handling fine so far.. as a landscape photographer, that extra mps from the RIV would really help to create some flexibility in the composition 👍🏻👍🏻
Which one do you think I should go for wildlife photography?
A7iii with the 200-600mm G lens.
If you have the money then R4, if you shoot birds the R4 has improved auto focus, it has larger size files in both crop mode and full mode, you can crop the picture still retain the clarity advantage over A7 Mk3, I use R3 and I do find the larger file size and extra resolution give it an advantage in bird photography because you will crop as birds is so small when you look at the whole picture.
I absolutely love your videos! Your audio is so clear. Do you mind sharing what mic & voice recorder you use? Thanks a bunch and keep the vids coming!
Question How does the a7riv do in low light ? I know it does well for photos but because of the 61 megapixel sensor I would imagine that would be a bad thing for videos.
your audio is amazing !
Your audio from the lav is really impressively matched to your studio mic.
Waiting for her response ..
Thank you! Dan is in charge of all the audio stuff and he does an amazing job!
Rode Go I think man!
Thanks. Comparo is the way to go.
Compared with the A7R III, both Gordon Laing in his UA-cam review of the IV and the Sony Alpha Blog test of lenses for the IV show that any resolution advantage is lost to noise at ISO 800 and above. That's going to compromise a lot of available light shooting.
Please please please make a video like this one comparing a7riv vs canon ros r5
Thank you for this review. Your review shows that in real life photos that higher resolution is not always better.
Great video. The only thing which isn't quite right, in my humble opinion, is the last ISO test showing which camera handles noise the best. The A7RIV image should have been downscaled to the same size of the A7III. Only after you do that you can really see the difference. Otherwise it's an apples to oranges comparison.
I got to play with some A7RIV raw files and the shadow noise is very bad if you do any type of grading whatsoever at even moderate ISO's.
Thank you! Yeah there have been a few comments with the ISO test. Just for some clarity: I shot the low light portraits from a tripod so the 3 and 4 images look identical zoomed out. Then when you're looking at noise/sharpening in an image, etc it's generally best to look at it at 100% so you can really see what's happening, so I included them in the video at 1:1 for that reason. With the extra resolution of the 4 it does look like I cropped it in even more, but they are both being viewed at 1:1. Next time I'll try to include both versions of the comparison instead!
LOVE LOVE LOVE your comparison videos. So creative and helpful!
Thanks so much!
Well done, publishing. The video is very beautiful and useful. I subscribed to your channel and I like the video
Thank you very much!
Very thorough review and appreciate it. Now I’m using A7iii with 70200GM and happy with it. Thanks for your review
Thank you for the review! As always, the correct comparison)
From myself I will say that the A7-3 is an ideal camera in terms of price and quality. That is, if you have about 3.5-4 thousand dollars for a photo kit, then the A7-3 is the camera where you get all the functions for a good price, and invest the rest of the money in lenses.
I really look forward to the A7-4, with improved display quality, larger buttons and other minor improvements)
Thank you Julia, helpful! Please continu, your videos are a joy to watch. Very positive vibe :)
when a company sends you a product to review, in your case, the a74iv, do you have to send it back after the review? or does the company allow you to keep it?
Most of the time it must be sent back
Yah send it back :)
I was literally searching for comparison and I got a post notification 😂😅..Nice video.
Anita Sadowska has also done one but this is more formal of a comparison which is super useful. I oddly have both cameras 😭😭😭 and haven't touched the r4 at all yet
Hahaha I guess I'm a mind reader 😂
The comparison is very good 👍 I love it ❤ thank you for sharing this video 😊
I love all your vídeos julia. I think i´m convinced that when i have a chance, i will switch from Canon to Sony. Sony was always and is a good brand. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I'm glad I can help :) I would love to do a Sony vs Canon video like this in the future if I can borrow the EOS R again, would be fun to see the differences there because the R was great when I had the chance to use it too.
@@juliatrotti please compare with nikon z6 too Julia
@@juliatrotti do you have the a7 s3 yet??
Nicely done. Your comparison's were simple and straight forward. Easily understood for the average joe. Even people on my home planet could understand this....As always, keep up the good work and Keep'em flying. Now, where did I park that saucer?
Ahahaha thank you!
Man that audio is great!
Right? Super milky
I have the a7riii , I like the fact I can crop in to my images without losing resolution . a happy in between camera I think
Mee too
I would love to try the R3 sometime!
@@juliatrotti you should, the pics are amazing
Another awesome video from Julia! Thank you! :)
Thank you!
I was very much interested in high ISO noise handling in both cameras. The side by side is most helpful! Thank you !
I have the Sony A7III. The only thing I envy about the A7RIV is the ability to crop in more on the photos for post production, and something most "people" fail to mention is the Sony A7RIV has no video record time limit.
Yeah I feel like being able to crop in shots would be really helpful at weddings sometimes, but I don't know if my wallet would forgive me for how many hard drives I would need to be able to keep up with that workflow 😅
Yeay😍
Love your reviews and comparisons
Thanks for sharing 😍
Keep rocking🤘🤘🤘
Glad you like them!
Nice comparison
Really you give good information
Thanks a ton!
@@juliatrotti thanks for Reply i watch other photographer vedio & give comment but nobody give reply but you are only one to give reply really you are good personality & nature i like it
Who person is in this photoshoot
Thanks
the DR on a7iii is insane, i love it
Cool video, yeah I'm thinking about picking up a used A7III, looks fun. Thanks for the comparison.
Thanks for watching!
This was SO helpful - thank you! ☺️
I was wondering which one to buy. Thanks for this great video. I will save some money and get the A7III
Glad I could help!
Great video Julia! Due to the higher pixel density, I wasn´t expecting the A7RIV to really compete with the A7III, but that being said, at base ISO they´re both equally great. As you start to bump the ISO it becomes more evident all the advantages of having the bigger photodiodes that come with the 24 megapixels of the A7III. So basically, if you´re going to be shooting in a more controlled environment (Architecture, Studio, Landscape) where you can take your time and choose the settings that you want I think that the A7RIV becomes a better option, especially if you take in account the other features of the camera, better EVF (5.69 million dots on the A7RIV vs 2.4 million dots) better screen, better built quality and weather sealing... but if the conditions where you shoot are not always under your control and you want the cleanest possible results, then the A7III is still the one to beat. Keep up the good work and stay safe! Greetings from Scotland! :)
Thank you and yes absolutely! You hit the nail on the head. The A7III is great for me with my wedding photography as a lot of the day is fast paced/out of my control/lots of different lighting situations, the A7R4 would be great for travelling with!
Thank you for this test. Great job. Thanks Dan.
The a7r4 are more noise beacuase it was zzom out well than a73 just try to compare in size of photos what are the result, i have this 2 camera but i did not compare the of each camera
I buyed the A7III instead of the A7RIII (same price) for the 24 mpx, with good lens the results are very high with light files!
Bought ☺
Vidimmi si capisci chist, sorca
A7iii does not have as much mpx as the Riii
Natr scem
one of the best video out there, Thank you
Wait she's a video Lol
Very good job, thank you very much
Thanks julia for providing this info
Great comparision! Direct to the point!
Thank you!
Great honest comparison! Thank you
What Ninja model is that in your video?
I recently picked up an A7iii. I was really pleased at the improvements over the A7ii. I love the idea of the extra resolution in the A7Riv, but don't feel like I've missed out in terms of practical capability.
Yeah there are some big improvements between the A72 and 3!
Ergonimics are WAY WAY better on the A74. I made the mistake of holding one just recently. Better grip, better AF button to name a few. If you use gloves and shoot in the winter, it can be pretty frustrating shooting with the A73. I've frozen my fingers off quite a few times in order to really "feel" the A73 dials
Thank you for this. Very useful 😊
Nice video!! What mic do you use??? It’s so clean n crisp
Hey Julia, great video! Helped me make my choice between the two (that and the major price difference). I was just wondering, what your tripod and monitor setup is, it looks sharp!
Great review
Which mic were you using for this? The audio is impressive :o
I wish they had an option for say a 45mp option of the Riv
Sony should offer small and medium raw file options like Canon does.
@@stanleeger4711 why would you need small or medium raw file ?
I agree I would love the options to choose between small/medium/large files! I sometimes use the medium option on Canon when I'm just shooting something for myself that I know will never get printed, etc.
@@haxaweddings For burst shooting. For snaps.
Much of the final output will end up as compressed JPEGs anyway.
A7r iii
Hey, Thanks for the comparison. I think I will stick to my A7iii too.
Very nice video. I also own the Sony a7III and I'm happy this is still a very strong camera that will be relevant for a few more years to come. I loved the video.
Thanks so much!
APS-C resolution for telephoto reach is better with the A7R4 26mp vs 10mp. I still have my A7R2 for high res needs and A73 for speed/ low light.
Thanks! I wonder if A7III vs A7RIII would be similar. Great comparison, highly appreciated!
Nice video!! Now we need waiting for the A7IV soon!
Thank you and yesss, I can't wait for that!
which camera should i buy for videos.a7iv and a7iii
Great review. Thank you.
Wow!! That’s an awesome video review!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you so much!
Julia Trotti Soo happy to see your reply! I have a quick question; I have 85mm and 24-70 g master Lens... which third lens do u suggest???
Years later, the Sony a7iii is still kicking canon and Nikon's ass. Not even the eos R5 and R6 will compete with the dynamic range of the Sony a7iii.
I would love to do a comparison video like this with the R series!
@@juliatrotti would like to see that too! From other videos I've seen, riii seems superior
We fuckin love you, Juila! Keep up the solid vids
Haha thank youuu!!
I cannot continue watching your videos.. You are too stunning, you take my breath away and I hyperventilate.
Hahah omg stay safe please
Thanks for great review. I am confused between these two cameras, thanks to your video, it helped clearing some points. I need to pick one of these for Astro photography and wildlife photography. Which one should I pick? Thanks again.
Thanks again for such a brilliant video
Thank you so much!
Nice work I like the shots in the field
Thank you!
what kind of camera did you take this video?
May I ask which part of Australia you from? Weather looks lovely as always in all your videos haha
I'm from Sydney! To be fair we have a lot of bad weather too, I just choose to go out and shoot when it's a good day for it 😄
I think a7R4 61mp has no use in your workflow but the improved af tracking is useful. Hope to see a7iv soon settling at 30-36mp with all handling and usability improvements.
Yeah I agree, for portraits it's probably a bit too much for me, but it would be verrry nice to have this camera while travelling!
nice comparison! thank you! Hope the A7RIV goes on sale in the coming months T_T
According to you which is better one
Sony a6600 vs Canon EOS 90D. Will get the a6600 around August. a7 3 Sony New Zealand charges NZ$4,000 for and that excludes a lens which costs another $1,000. Don't get me started how much the charge for the A7 4.
First of all!! What microphone do you use?? the audio is sooo good
second!! thank youuuu for this great review.. i was so confused which one to buy.. now i got the answer
That you for the review.. It confirmed that I made the right choice to go with the A7iii instead of the A7R4..... So thank you!
Hi Julia. Thank you for this video. It is very helpful choosing between that 2 cameras. May I ask? What tripod are you using on this video?
JULIA FOR THE GODS SAKE WHAT MIC DID YOU USE IN THIS VIDEO???? It was a lavalier one? Did you treat in post? What a perfect audio, jeez! It even sounds like you're in an interior with sound foams or something, what the hell
The card door slides out that way because of the weather resistance. There is more sealing added to the a7riv which is similar to canon cameras. Most other Sony models do not have a robust build like the a7riv.
It just goes to show that any camera released in the last 5 years will never become obsolete.
Julia, do you use directional microphone for vlogging or just a normal microphone which records sound from every direction?. i wanna know which one is better for vlogging.
Dan is in charge of all the audio stuff, this is what he said about it: All audio for every video goes through post from scratch, complete mix and mastering. On location shotgun is usually a NTG3 as it doesn't mind horrible conditions. Lavs vary, sennies at the moment as they're proving to be surprisingly durable, while Julia's overdubs are recorded with a mic I custom built. Most importantly, Julia has amazing mic technique. Hope that helps!
merci pour cet essai très intéressant. Je suis ravi de mon A7III... le seul gros manque sur le A7III comparé au A7RIV, c'est la détection de l'œil en continu en Vidéo....
I'm glad you liked it! I think you can see from this video though that the A7III eye af continuous still pretty much keeps up with the R4, and this test was done without giving the camera any help whatsoever lol we were just letting it do all the work to see how well they would perform. Usually I keep a small focus point on the subject's eye/face in case the eye AF fails.
@@juliatrotti a pity that sony does not implement eye tracking in video on the A7III with a firmware update ....
in photo mode it's already very appreciable ...
Hey Julia! I really like your audio quality. May I know what microphone and processing do you do?
Thank you. All audio for every video goes through post from scratch, complete mix and mastering. On location shotgun is usually a NTG3 as it doesn't mind horrible conditions.

this is new, you're doing gadget comparison now. hehehe you're my favorite portrait photographer ma'am. great video as usual ... keep it up
Thank you! Haha I've always done lens/camera reviews and comparisons on my channel 😄
sony 7iii or Z6 how is best for video and photo both... answer please ...
What Mic are you using? and what Mixing effects are you using? this is amazing
And I guess the A1 blows those two away ?
