Feels like I just cracked open a bag of saltines in the comments section NOTE: The R6 mkII's stabilization warble is substantially improved with firmware update 1.5.0! No more funky corners.
The Sony A7 IV is currently $2,098, which it often hits regularly. But it was very recently $1,849 on sale (and may return for black friday). Just to add some context to the pricing mentions in the video from 2 weeks ago, it's been in the $2,098 range since the beginning of November. Also just want to mention that Sony has cameras for each use, so comparing it as a video camera is a bit odd, since the Sony A7 S series is generally considered best for that. A7 Standard all around A7S Great for low light/video A7R Best for high res photography A1 Top of the line all around camera that encompasses the best aspects off all 3
For still life and food, product photography I was torn between the Sony A7IV, Canon R6 II and Sony A7R4. I think I eliminated the Canon because 40 frames per second wouldn't work for me. Also, since 61mp photos would tire me out, the A74 is a better option for me.
Sony A7 IV is the better hybrid cameras, a7 33mp Photos Canon R6 ii only 24. Sony video oversampling 7k in 4k Canon 6k to 4k. The crop is no problem, because, slow motion mostly are close ups. If someone want to film raw always, they choose Red or blackmagic. Canon get your money with the lenses and different mounts, Sony u have one mount and use the lens on a cheap apsc or on a Sony burano.
It all depends on how you use it! These are mostly arguments for the sony being a better video camera though- from a hybrid standpoint, the Canon is a much stronger option for action and event photographers, while still having objectively better video specs.
@@JosephMartin so in other words it's better for some but not for all. By saying it sucks or to buy something instead is unfair, hypocritical and sending the wrong message. Your statements say more about you than want you are trying to portray, you need to chose your words more wisely, this is not professional.
@@kmcb14That's why people are seeing this video and we are commenting below that. Pure UA-cam video marketing tactics, nothing to do with the product as it says.
Rf lens ecosystem is horrible, Sony has a much better lens selection. I don’t care about photos but the 7K oversampled on the A7iv is a lot better when cropping in post.
Sony a7IV was not my first choice at first, it was actually the canon R6 II, because I am already familiar with the UI, the real reason I bought the A7IV was because of the deal I got at that time compared to the R6 II, but before I pulled the trigger I did my last deep dive research which is the lens choices. Canon RF mount is not completely open to other lens of choice comparerd to sony, I had seen the sigma and tamron line up and boy you can see the difference. For me it boils down to lenses of choice. If I could not afford the pricey tag of the original mount, I would wish there would be alternative, that is what lead me to sony. Do I regret buying it? No. It will all depends on your choice. Is the A7IV perfect compared to Canon R6 II? It will all depends. I suggest do a lot of research at first before jumping into a lot of conclusion that you might regret later on. For me both are the best out there. It will really comes down to what you feel, need and use.
I’m glad you were able to find the right camera for you! The lack of third party lenses for RF mount is definitely a negative. Canon’s opened up this mount recently, but we’ll probably still have to wait another year or so before we see RF mount sigmas/tamrons on the market.
I’ve been in the Sony ecosystem now for about a year and a half. I’m getting an a7iv. I do appreciate your comparison. And as we all know, it’s the person behind the camera most of the time that makes the difference. So thanks for your thoughts.
Joseph Martin: "The Sony A7IV Sucks.." Every other UA-camr: "There isn't a bad Mirrorless camera these days" The only thing that sucks is the time i wasted watching this video. You could have done a way better job convincing people to decide between these cameras. R6 4k sharper due to 6k oversampling to 4k? Even in your compare shot the A7IV looks a bit sharper/detailed. You forgot to mention that the A7IV samples down to 4k from 7k and it is among the sharpest 4k output on the planet. The R6 sure has a some great features that we want to see in the A7V, but you make us believe the A7IV is a bad camera for lacking those features. And then when the A7IV has better stabilization performance or better photo features.. we do not need it suddenly? Also, the A7IV has far better noise performance at high level ISO and better Dynamic range in underexposure. You sure how to bait us mate.
I dont try to convince people to buy one camera or the other, I’m just sharing some of the facts and my opinion on them. I admit I didn’t know the A7IV downsampled from 7k, I guess that explains why I didnt see much of a sharpness difference (as I mentioned in the video.) The R6 cleans the floor with the A7IV when it comes to photo capability though. That’s obvious
@@JosephMartin I see a UA-cam thumbnail/cover showing a Sony A series camera with the text 'Don't BUY' and the video title 'The Sony A7IV Sucks… Get THIS Instead!'. And you still reply on my comment with 'I don't try to convince people to buy one camera or the other, I’m just sharing some of the facts and my opinion on them'. You start the video saying that buying the A7IV would have been a massive mistake. And at the end you say 'If you are trying to choose between the Canon R6 and the Sony A7IV..The R6 mk2 knocks it out of the park and blows the A7IV out of the water. So go with Canon if you trying to choose blanked between Sony and Canon'.
@@JosephMartin I dont try to convince people to buy one camera or the other, I’m just sharing some of the facts and my opinion on them.???? The clue is in the title - The Sony A7IV Sucks… Get THIS Instead! So in two weeks this post still stands with the same title. Why not delete the video and replace it with one that says what you REALLY mean with the correct introduction title, or maybe there is a way to change the actual title?? I smell BS and click baiting !!
I always bounce between my Lumix S5II and the Canon R6II. I end up deciding to keep my current gear every time. The S5II is built slightly more towards video which I like and (although the lineup is small for now) the L mount has third party lens support. Plus I really enjoy the Panasonic's design language. No matter what model, G mount or L mount, the buttons are right where you want them to be. Add good AF - I can't complain.
Canon hands down has the best gear both bodies and lenses. The problem is it costs a kidney and a lung to get a set of lenses. I can get 80-90% of the performance from Sony and lenses for less than half the cost. The price of the body on Sony is made up for in the lens selection
i was about to put a negative comment lol but i watched thru this and ... i think i agree with you for 2024. i was a canon shooter for around 10y and i made some money with canon. But after becoming more hobby mode, i moved to sony when Canon was lagging with mirrorless. Now in 2024, sony a7-4 is dated now and canon is the better option for the price. heheheh good review
@@zoiefarmer8346 On french Rakuten it's at 1806 brand new with a battery there's also another offer at 1810, on larueducommerce it's 1830 tho wouldn't trust it over Rakuten, on MPB you can find some 2nd hand Sony a7 IV for 2000 which I find weird
I'm not going to pull open a can of hate here, but it does seem to me, just going through the video that this is completely your reasons for preferring one over the over. Obviously both are more than suitable for professional work. Some points you make are highly subjective, sometimes simply false. The main reason for most people to buy a camera nowadays is: which lens ecosystem am i in, and what am i used to / what do i find easy to use. So why people take so much offence with the video is because this is not very transparent in your video, instead claiming the canon is simply better, which is entirely a matter of opinion.
Wow, I went from Sony A7RIV to Canon R5 and hated it so much I sold it and bought back an A7RIV again, still buying back GM primes I had before. I just found the whole Canon experience absolutely horrible never again!
I’ll give you a thumbs up for the well made video, but I’ll give you a comment down here cause I’m a Sony fanboi. 😂 Sony has done me well, but I’ll be honest - haven’t spent enough time on a Canon body.
Who cares. He is a shill and in order to feel good about this Canon, he has to rip Sony. I love my Sony digital cameras as much as I love my Nikon F2. I got a lot of great images from the Nikon F2. I didn't need a motor drive, though I did buy one. It finally broke. But pictures I got for my job working on USAF base newspapers I did one shot at a time. Practice develops skill. Once you reach that skill level, any camera will do fine.
Haha thanks! Like I said in the video, it’s not that the A7IV is a BAD camera by any means, it’s just at the wrong pricepoint these days. I did really enjoy the images I got out of it.

Canon makes some very good cameras but blocking third party lenses is a deal breaker.

If price is a concern I will happily buy the Sony a7iv again and pair it with Tamron or sigma f2.8 lenses and I will end up saving a lot of money.

I will take a7 4 any time over canon m6.
Video on canon sucks with the jittery corners.
The stabilization warble sucks big-time, but as long as you dont combine Lens IS with IBIS it goes away!
M6, an APS-C that's nearly 10yrs ago... Wtf you are not comparing the same thing
@@JosephMartin Really? So which one is better to have on for video? The Lens IS or the Camera digital stabilization?

A7iv can be found for ~1600 new if you know where to look. The 7V is out in a few months so anyone paying full retail for it is a bit silly
Looking for deals or waiting for the V is the way to go!
The R6 mark II sucks, get an iPhone instead.
It would be cheaper
Can you please make a battery life comparison on canon vs sony???
What in the world 😂. Dude you clearly don’t know how to use your gear.
