Sony A7 IV

Question 1

Is the Sony A7 IV worth $2,498?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This is the camera that does everything you actually need. It's not the cheapest, but it's the best value in full-frame: top-tier autofocus, excellent video, and a 33MP sensor that gives you room to crop. Buy this and you'll stop looking at other cameras for at least five years.

Question 2

What is the best camera under $1,500?

Accepted Answer

If you must spend less, get the Sony a7 III. It's older and the autofocus isn't as sharp, but it still delivers great full-frame images. Just know you're missing out on 4K 60p, a flip-out screen, and the latest AI tracking. The A7 IV is worth saving for.

Question 3

How does the Sony A7 IV compare to the Nikon Z6 II?

Accepted Answer

The Z6 II is a decent camera, but the A7 IV beats it in autofocus, video features, and sensor resolution. Sony's lens selection is also wider and cheaper. If you're choosing between these two, the A7 IV is the obvious winner unless you need a specific Nikon lens.
