Sony – Alpha 7 IV Full-frame Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera with SEL2870 Lens – Black

My previous camera was an a6100. I’ve been lucky to have some paid gig enough last year that I decided to upgrade.
I researched this camera well in advance before purchase. So I already that it’s for me.
Section 1: Transition from A6100 to
It took a minute for me to adjust to the following.
– Extra customization button. Helps a lot!
– Screen flip.
– Adjust to having more flexibility with dials.
– Initially, the camera had no battery life so it took some time for it to charge at first.
These are only observations, no complaints.
Section 2: After about a week or so.
– I like the menu tabs on the right-hand side vertically.
– Excited to have two memory card slots. Waiting for CF express to come down in price
– Stoked about the increase in MPS. I tend to print large so it helps
– The form factor is good as my hands can get a portion of the camera.
Section 3: What I didn’t Use.
– Video. Mainly because it is not required of me. However, I do want to use it for family gatherings
Wrap up:
All in All, the a7iv is right for me. I am still learning how to be more effective with having more options available to me. I’ve been testing the camera with the kit lens and it’s ok. I did take pics with a 20 mm 1.8 G lens as the kit lens will not do it justice. The uploaded images were only modified to upright positions and converted to JPEG with LR. Nothing else.
Also, I took a walk for 1hr and 15 minutes. The battery life at 75 percent. I took about 65 images.

Great image quality and very fast focusing. Continuous focus is extremely good!!!
Feels good in my hands, not too heavy, not too light. Very good functions menu system and good amount of customizable buttons. The 28-70mm kit lens is not bad but don’t expect it to be super sharp. The attached birds pictures were taken with a Tamron 70-300mm lens. Very good lens for the money.
