Final Thoughts
The Sony A7 IV is a fantastic camera. Low light is great unless you need to film over 10,000 ISO, the 7K oversampling to 4K gives you a ton of detail and you save $1,000 over buying an A7S III.
The only reasons I would recommend getting an A7s III over an A7 IV would be:
- No crop at 4K 60p
- 4K at 120p
- HD at 240p
- Better EVF and display
- Better rolling shutter performance
- Raw video over HDMI
