Product Information

The R5 is capable of capturing higher-resolution images, with more detail and more pixels to work with when it comes to cropping and printing. Here, the camera has retained detail in the bright clouds on the top left. Meanwhile, there are deep shadows in the rear ground trees on the left. (Image credit: Tom's Guide) The a7 IV joins the ranks of cameras that can shoot images for HDR displays, capturing a wider range of tones and displaying them in a way that looks more natural. It uses its ability to shoot 10-bit HEIF files to capture HDR images using the Hybrid Log Gamma standard. For now, you'll need to connect the camera to an HDR TV via HDMI to see the results properly. Much has changed in the eight years since the original a7 was launched: with Sony now far from alone in offering a modern full-frame mirrorless camera. Technology has made huge leaps forward, too, with autofocus, in particular, improving in terms of speed, sophistication and simplicity, to the point that no one would now suggest DSLRs retain the upper hand.

The Sony A7 IV uses a fast Hybrid AF system that combines phase-detection and contrast-detection AF points, which results in fast and accurate autofocus performance. Autofocus is such a broad subject, with different subjects requiring different modes and different photographers preferring different approaches, that it's almost impossible to give a comprehensive and definitive assessment of its performance. We have used the camera in a variety of situations and with different lenses but cannot cover every aspect of the camera's performance. Social and everyday photography

In terms of other features, both cameras have adjustable LCD touchscreen displays that can be tilted and swivelled, which can be useful for shooting from different angles. Which would you buy for the Viewfinder: Canon EOS R5 – ✅

Both of these cameras have very impressive eye detect autofocus being able to get tact sharp images where it matters most.

The event was mounted in the mountains of Bacnotan, La Union — a 30-minute drive from the San Juan, La Union which is also known as the Surfing Capital of the North. This means that the R6 like the R5 has the potential to be slightly better at reducing camera shake, particularly when shooting at longer exposures or with longer focal lengths. Read our comparison of the Canon R5 vs Sony A7 IV here. Two weeks later after the race in Bacnotan, La Union, I also got an assignment to shoot for the second leg of the Spartan Workout Tour. It happened in Arca South in Taguig City, after the Spartan Kids race in the morning.With more than 60 Sony original E-mount lenses, from wide to telephoto focal lengths, plus premium and specialist creative lenses, there are near-limitless expressive choices for your streaming or sharing. Soft Skin Effect The Multi Interface (MI) Shoe enables cable-less connection, directly transferring the digital audio signal for high-quality sound without degradation, while also supplying power and eliminating concerns about mic batteries. Integrated microphone wind noise reduction Firmware v1.01 for the a7 IV included the promise that it 'improves the accuracy of the Eye AF feature,' but we found we still got better results using manual focus than with the Eye AF focusing. Autofocus Summary There’s a One-Tap Edit feature for simple content creation. It uses AI intelligent recognition to find highlights from your footage and instantly generate shareable 4K videos. The downside of this added flexibility is that you need to engage HEIF capture before you can engage the Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) color/gamma mode, rather than having both settings change to match one another. It's worth trying, though: images shot in HLG can show much more of the camera's dynamic range to give a much more lifelike version of your image if viewed with an HDR-capable TV.

This feature lets you transfer still-image and movie files to a specified remote FTP server via wireless LAN, high-speed wired LAN (via a compatible USB-Ethernet adaptor cable to the camera’s USB Type C® port), or a USB-tethered smartphone. Improvements in selection and editing workflowThe camera features a 5.5-stop effective 5-axis image stabilization system compensates for five different types of camera shake encountered during handheld shooting of stills and video. The Canon EOS R6 uses a Dual Pixel CMOS AF system with over 1,050 AF points, which provides a wide coverage area and fast, accurate autofocus performance. For me the camera is a gold because it gives me the tilt-and-swivel screen, the battery, the twin card slots and the lifeline to carry on using all my legacy A mount glass via an affordable adapter.

The Sony A7 IV is a hybrid camera that really excels in video as well as it does stills. There is no limit on recording time with this camera, and it can easily record an hour of continuous 4K at 60p video without overheating. Although, if you’re recording 4K at 60p capture, you will have to switch to Super35 cropping mode. The 4K resolution looks really sharp, and can be shot in 10-bit 4:2:2 for a generous color gamut. You can also shoot in SLog, for more flexibility when color grading in post. The Sony A7 IV offers a 33.0-megapixel full-frame BSI Exmor R CMOS sensor, 4K video recording at 60fps, and an advanced hybrid autofocus system. For now, I’m just elated to be with fellow race photographers. It’s a pivotal experience that I’m going to treasure for the rest of my life. On the first day, I was deployed at the 42nd mark of the 50-kilometer trail. I was the last photographer before the participants reached the finish line. Broad positioning and framing freedom for both still and movie shoots is provided by the 3.0-type 1.03-million-dot LCD touch-panel monitor, with convenient side opening and 3:2 aspect ratio. Intuitive touch operationsStumbling upon a sports photographer on the race course gives me enough boost whenever my legs are tired from running. I always imagine what my photos would look like after it gets published.
