Sony has announced the new a7 IV today. This full-frame mirrorless camera features a 33-megapixel sensor with sensitivity up to ISO 204,800.
Sony a7 IV specifications
- 33-megapixel full-frame back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS image sensor
- In-body image stabilisation (5.5 stops)
- Sensitivity: ISO 50 - 204,800 (extended)
- 10 frames per second
- 15 stops of dynamic range
- 759 phase-detection autofocus points (94% of the frame)
- 4K 60p video
- 3-inch display (1.03 million dots)
Compared with the a7 III, there are quite a few useful improvements. The grip has been made larger, so you can hold the camera more securely, and the electronic viewfinder has a higher resolution (3.69 million pixels).
This model also features the improved menu, and the screen can now be fully rotated and tilted, so you can also view the image you are recording from the front (handy for video).
The biggest improvement may well be in the autofocus. The system from the Sony A1 has been used for this. The camera can now also track the eyes of animals, including birds, when focusing.

Geen overbodige film mogelijkheden of beelden per seconde. En de prijs is ook accept voor dit toestel. Ik ga echt geen 6100 euro betalen voor een C...
