The Sony A7IV after three years. What's next? Should we get a Nikon?
/ @yatsenkotravel
My experience with the Sony A7 IV after three years and three months of active work in reportage photography and video. In this video, I share my honest impressions after upgrading from the Canon R: I discuss the camera's ergonomics, ease of use, questionable decisions regarding the buttons and joystick, and how much the rolling shutter really hinders live shooting. I discuss which lenses work best for my scenarios (reportage, backstage, events) and why I almost always choose zooms over primes.
I also discuss the working ISO, 10-bit video, stabilization via Catalyst Browse, and why I now prefer to shoot many action shots on my iPhone. Finally, I discuss whether it makes sense to upgrade to the Sony A7 V or consider the Nikon Z R, and how the new camera might (or might not) impact content quality and income. If you're considering an A7 IV in 2026 or choosing between Sony, Canon, and Nikon, this honest, long-term review will help you soberly evaluate the camera's pros and cons without the hype.
