@Kevin_Borr 2 года назад

Hey Dan, love the content and your presentation style, your reviews come across clean and really well polished, big part of why I'm sub'd! Mind clearing one or two things up for me? I see many comments, reviews, and concerns addressing the limitations of 4k60 in crop mode, and at the end you mentioned a potential fix with pixel binning. Is this a potential firmware updatable fix, or are we likely stuck with the issue? In regards to the shutter noise.. when shooting electronically, is that noise eliminated, or at least dampened? That click is LOUD. Finally, any plans to cover the stills performance in a little more detail? I'm curious how the a7iv will handle low light, particularly astro.. I haven't seen anyone speak to that with this camera, but that ISO performance between 3200 and 6400 sounds pretty promising. Just looking for a little guidance. Thanks for pumping out the content man, looking forward to the next video!

Nice one very informative . And Thanks to do the overheating test vs R6 like I ask on your Instagram page I appreciate it now I will preorder one for wedding hybrid shoot. Very info video overall 😉.

@jdjames997 2 года назад

Your videos are insanely good and informative. I’m a new watcher and subscriber (a few weeks ago), but just watching this I’m not at all regretful preordering my A74. Honestly, i was having my doubts, but based on your findings and tests, I’m super stoked I preordered 2 days after release, so hopefully I’ll get my camera in December. I really like how thorough you are, & your testing is what separates you from most of the other channels I watch. I will be tuning in to your channel as long as you keep making these fantastic videos, appreciate everything you do. It’s hard spending thousands of dollars on gear not knowing what your getting because everyone (most) just says how great and “promising” gear is, without testing it in the field. Cheers Dan, keep up the great work 👍 I appreciate the answers to my questions also you’ve provided…

@JL-nq6iq 2 года назад

Your reviews are always nice to watch. The A7 iv has been overheating a lot surprisingly even Sony said sometimes in 20 minutes, not good for those of us in the south in summer. I was disappointed no full frame 60p although some of the other features are impressive. Mine overheated so much I had to grab another camera several times. So I returned mine. :( I was just watching Philip Bloom make an FX3 with a fan overheat in the UK....so I was shocked a camera with a fan overheated. I'm in Houston so it's about the same latitude as you. So I'll be getting something else. I could live with the same old crappy screen everyone is about sick of. But the lack of full frame 60p was a deal breaker for me as well as the overheating. Still nice little camera for those that it fits.

What storage capacity do you recommend for mixed photo and video (4.2.2 4.60 10-bit all intra) ? Stunning review by the way. Last but not least, You are not talking about the burst limited to 6 fps in raw uncompressed. Is this a problem when using sports or animal photos?

Switch to V90 SD. Ok, guys, I'm posting that comment under every video related to Sony A7IV overheating issue, because it solved the problem for me and I'd be happy if it helps you. I've browsed through dozens of videos on that subject and most of them didn't mention that particular thing. Yes, auto power off temp works. Opening the screen and battery door works too. Eventually it allowed me to record 35 min instead of 15 min in 4K 100M 4:2:2. Better, but not perfect. External recorder, switched off linking, battery grip, etc. probably does its job as well. But V90 SD card instead of V30 allowed me to record a 2-hour take easily. The battery exhausted earlier. Maybe that's dumb, but having been an A7III user, I never thought the card would be such a gamechanger. In fact, yes. Slow cards just don't have enough capacity, being overheated while trying to process the recording, they overheat the camera internally even though it stays cool on the surface. Don't bother with CFExpress, just a regular V90 128G card would do the thing. At least it worked like a charm for me. Thanks for the video, Dan! 🙌

@gbwalther3198 2 года назад

Hi Dan! Maybe you could shoot and release video samples of the Sony a7iv in 4k crop 60fps with Sony 16-55 f2.8 lens. Commentary would be interesting. In addition, if you have the new Tamron aps-c Zoom lenses and the Sigma new aps-c Zoom lenses. Also, do several similar tests with Fuji aps-c prime lenses for Sony e-mount: Fuji 16mm f1.4; Sigma 19mm f/2.8; Sigma 30mm f/1.4; Sigma 56mm f/1.4.

@nyambe 2 года назад

Dan, if you are a hybrid shooter, why not go mostly APSc lenses on this camera. With 33Mb it shoot be enough. It’s big savings. The FF is great for mostly photo gigs. I think it’s great. You actually can’t shoot apsc 4k on the FX3

@darqaegis9045 2 года назад

Can cropped 4K/60fps be ‘upgraded’ to FD 4K/60fps via firmware? Or is it hardware related? If it is firmware adjustable, do you think Sony will change this somewhere down the line? The LUMIX S1 became a 6K camera via firmware

@adiapte9575 2 года назад

Great video… if you do video 1080p with clear image zoom it’s tack sharp like 4K 60p. You won’t notice any difference between the two at all. Might want to try that out

@LouisHochmanTheJourno 2 года назад

Does the camera do the focus breathing adjustment before or after the downsample to 4k? Is the automated crop from the 7K (or 4.7K in s35), and then downsampled to 4K? Or is it cropped from the 4K, and then upsampled again for a 4K file with less actual detail?

@nomad0714 2 года назад

Hi Dan, Thanks for this helpful review! I have a couple questions: 1) for 4k60, couldn’t you use the Tamron 11-22/2.8 APSC lens to get those wide shots, making it 11.5-33mm? Or the 14/1.8, it should be wide enough for wedding shots? 2) hybrid shooter here. I already have the A7R4 for stills and looking at the A7S3/FX3 for video or swap them for the A74 and some more GM lenses? Thanks!

@learningcameras 2 года назад

Hey! So yes you can use APSC lenses like that in 4k60...just means you need to change lenses again if you go full frame or shoot photos. If you shoot a lot of broll for video, you might want 4k60 or 4k120 a lot so the SIII would be my choice. If you are shooting mostly talking head like interviews where you need 4k24 more, the A7IV might work better

@Wildlife_Unlimited02 2 года назад

Hey Dan…you didn’t discuss rolling shutter in video. Can you create another video?

@ianrholmes2 2 года назад

Does anyone think Sony would actually release an update to add full frame 4K 60p? Even a pixel binned one? I had this thought the second this camera came out because with that it would be the perfect hybrid camera for me as that crop in 4K 60 is really putting me off this otherwise amazing camera! I wasn’t even thinking it would be an option as I mentioned but when you brought it up towards the end of the video it got me thinking … any input would be greatly appreciated, I know we can’t know for sure but oh man, that would be nice and an easy b cam for my a7siii with some way of doing 4K 60 without that massive crop!

@DeadDroneFilms 2 года назад

I'v been looking for a video that talks about the 1080p quality, so glad I found your video as a lot of others are just talking about the 4K. I'm looking to get this camera to replace a C100mkii, it would be great to know your thoughts on how the A7IV's 1080p compares to the C100mkii 1080p? Is the Sony decent enough when sharpened up maybe? Thanks for the great vid!

@learningcameras 2 года назад

Definitely if you plan on shooting 1080p, the Sony A7SIII or FX3 is BY FAR the best option. They oversample for 1080p and have full super35 crop options and can shoot up to 120fps up to 10bit 422 making it better than the C100mkII. The A7IV would probably not be quite as good in 1080p...it just has too many pixels so it uses pixel binning which doesn't create a final image that looks as good as a native 4k image. It might be good enough the the SIII or FX3 is a much better 1080p camera

@@learningcameras Hi Dan! Thanks so much for the detailed reply, exactly what I needed.

@julianmares140 2 года назад

If you care about using PP you won’t have as much flexibly with grading with the 8-bit 1080 files. The LOG modes are unstable so all you’ll have is HLG and CINE profiles.

@learningcameras 2 года назад

Hey! So I might go with the A7SIII over the FX3 personally as the ergonomics are more "still camera" so it will be better for capturing stills plus it is better weather sealed I believe since the FX3 has a fan with vents and that doesn't usually go well with Moto adventuring lol.

4K60 full frame is maybe asking too much, firstly they have to protect the A7siii, which is a much more expensive camera. Secondly it is probably a hardware limitation, Nikon Z6 ii does 4k60 with a crop as well, R6 does full frame 4K60 with a much lower resolution sensor and will overheat after about 30-40 min. I think Sony just can't make it do that without overheat or keep the cost in check. Just having a compact and affordable APS-C lens with youm you will be fine.

@youuuuuuuuuuutube 2 года назад

It would be interesting to see IQ comparisons between the R6 4k60 (which is subsampled but with much less crop) and the A7IV 4k60 (which is oversampled but with a 1.5x crop), because a lot of people are wondering which one is better for 4k60 in terms of image quality.

R6 is way better.

Hi Dan. Just stumbled on your channel, while looking for reviews of the A7iv - and it the subscribe button has been pressed :) A couple of quick questions, that I hope you can help with. Question 1 - I have a FS5 as an A-cam and an A7S ii as a B-cam, and I'm looking in to replacing the A7S with another camera. I've been considering the A7S iii, but with this newbie from Sony, maybe it would be wiser to upgrade to the A7iv. What do you think, should I go for the A7S iii or the new A7 iv? Question 2 - If I'm to buy this camera, and choose just one lens to use on the camera, which one would you recommend? Regards Martin

@learningcameras 2 года назад

Hey! Thanks so much. So definitely the big advantage of the A7SIII is being able to shoot slow motion full frame 60fps+ and the A7IV advantage is with photography or crop ability. Based on those factors, you can figure which one would be best for you. I tend to use 60fps a lot and 120fps occasionally so I'd pick the A7SIII. As far as a lens goes (with either camera), definitely try this new one from Tamron: bhpho.to/3mhpCsy It's by far the best bang for the $$$

@vangsfeldtfilm 2 года назад

@@learningcameras The problem I have with the A7S II is the Slowmotion factor, that it is only possible to shoot in 1080p. But besides that, it is a brilliant camera, so to upgrade it, it has to be a noticeable upgrade, and I just wasn’t sure that the A7S iii was that huge of an upgrade, and ignorantly thought the A7IV was :) I actually already have the Tamron lens, and use it as my no. 1 lens for the A7S II - I love it!

Can you shoot 1080p in 10 bit 60/120 fps? and if does the 1080p look good?

@learningcameras 2 года назад

You can shoot 1080p 10bit 60 but in order to get 1080p 120 10bit, you need to be in S&Q so no audio and it will be already slowed. 1080p to me looks noticeably worse than 4k but probably not majorly worse than the A7III. More megapixels is typically not a good thing for 1080p

@juzzypham7421 2 года назад

Hi Dan/Sally! Got another question! Can I use Full HDMI from the camera to full HDMI to capture card (Elgato Cam Link 4K 60p) as 4K 24fps/30fps?. Thank you Dan/Sally if you can reply.

@learningcameras 2 года назад

Hey! Yes you can use a full size HDMI from the camera to an HDMI capture card in 4k assuming it is a 4k capture card and your software supports 4k ingesting. You can also get 1080p up to 60fps over USB without a capture card

Dan, do you know if you can disable noise reduction in video for this camera? I have noticed a major flaw in all Sony Alpha cameras (so far) where you can't turn off video NR, and have to go up to the $6K FX6 for that, making all ISOs above a certain point unusable because of the forced NR.

@learningcameras 2 года назад

I turned it to low but not off. That's how I usually run my cameras

May I offer a correction, this is NOT the “Ultimate” Hybrid Sony offers. The A1 is still that for Sony (at moment). This is the best “Value” hybrid Sony offers. With value, there will always be trade offs, or there is no point to have the “Ultimate” / High End camera that commands a higher price. Fair?

@lighthousephoto7143 2 года назад

Does the rolling shutter performance bother you?

@learningcameras 2 года назад

Not really. There wasn't anything Sony could do on that. More megapixels means more time required to scan the sensor for oversampling so I'm OK with the fact that it isn't all that good. I'd love it if it was better but unless it was stacked cmos, I don't see how that would have been possible

@frankfeng2701 2 года назад

Even FF pixel binned 4k60 8bit420 would be better than none at all. If that's still a sensor limitation, I question why they didn't keep the resolution at 24MP.

@CC-gt3ro 2 года назад

I said the same thing. They wanted to show improvements inthe photo area as well because it is an hybrid. But they could have kept an improved 24 mp faster sensor with low rolling shutter, 15fps, and improved low light performance and get 4k60 non crop, with all the new stuffs. And it would be much much more appreciated because it would be very good everywhere. 24 mp is good enough for photos for an hybrid. I have a7c and the photo 24 mp are perfect. My a7c miss the active stabilization, and the eye af for animal and birds in video mode that i would like. But except these two features i don’t have i like it very much.

@MrCollindbrowne 2 года назад

What's the rolling shutter like on the A7IV ?

@learningcameras 2 года назад

Basically the sensor seems to scan at about the same rate as most other standard sensors but because it has more pixels, the scan takes longer so rolling shutter is worse than other low resolution sensors like the A7SIII and ever so slightly worse than the A7III
