Sony’s Real-time Tracking and Eye AF systems mean you can reliably shoot high-quality footage while locked-on to your subject, while the bright 24-70mm lens is capable of creating lovely background blur. Borrowing the best bits from the RX100 series, it pairs a capable 1-inch sensor with a class-leading autofocus system. Simply the best compact vlogging camera on the market, the Sony ZV-1 puts a powerful video option in your pocket. It’s a fantastically versatile option which could be all the camera most people ever need. Taken as a whole, the Sony A7 IV is a worthy successor to the A7 III. A price increase means it doesn’t have the same entry-level appeal as its predecessor, while rivals like the Canon EOS R6 also offer faster burst shooting rates – although Sony’s class-leading autofocus skills do plenty to compensate for this. It also benefits from an improved viewfinder, a new vari-angle touchscreen and a huge 828-shot buffer for CFexpress cards.Īs is often the case, that flexibility doesn’t come without compromise: there’s a heavy crop on 4K footage and it’s not the easiest camera for beginners to use. Introducing a sharper 33MP sensor, powerful Bionz XR processor and upgraded video skills (including support for 10-bit footage), the A7 IV is a true hybrid workhorse. Luckily, the A7 IV takes that baton and runs away with it. As successor to the celebrated A7 III, the latest all-rounder in Sony’s full-frame mirrorless camera range has big shoes to fill.
