Mirrorless
The type of camera.
viewfinder
Electronic viewfinder (EVF)
The type of viewfinder that the camera has.
weather-sealed (splashproof)
✔Sony a7R IV + Sony FE 50mm F1.8
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
screen resolution
1440k dots
A higher screen resolution provides a sharper image, making it easier to review your photos.
EVF resolution
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
An electronic viewfinder (EVF) with a higher resolution provides a sharper image, producing a view comparable in quality with the one displayed on an optical viewfinder.
Has a built-in focus motor
✔Sony a7R IV + Sony FE 50mm F1.8
The focus motor moves the lens in order to autofocus. For system cameras, having a focus motor in the camera's body allows you to use a wide range of lenses, including lenses which do not have their own focus motor. For compact cameras, a focus motor is usually built-in.
Has a flip-out screen
✔Sony a7R IV + Sony FE 50mm F1.8
Flip-out screens can be useful for tricky shots.
With 100% coverage, you can compose the image correctly when you capture the photo. With less than full coverage, you may have to crop your photos afterward to get them looking perfect.
The size of the screen (measured diagonally).
Optics
sensor size
Full frame
One of the most important aspects of a camera is the size of its sensor. A larger sensor will capture more light, which results in improved low-light performance, dynamic range, and general image quality.
lens mount
Sony E
focus points
567
The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
maximum ISO
32000 ISO
With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.
maximum expanded ISO
102800ISO
Expanded ISO allows you to go beyond the native ISO. It does this by digitally enhancing the image output. The resulting image will have less quality than when staying within the native ISO range, but it can be useful in certain situations.
has sensor shift stabilization
✔Sony a7R IV + Sony FE 50mm F1.8
With sensor shift, the image sensor (rather than the lens) moves to counterbalance any vibration of the camera. This means the image will be stabilised regardless of what lens is being used.
Fast continuous shooting is useful for catching action shots.
has AF tracking
✔Sony a7R IV + Sony FE 50mm F1.8
With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.
Videography
video recording (main camera)
2160 x 30fps
The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.
Has phase-detection autofocus for videos
✔Sony a7R IV + Sony FE 50mm F1.8
A phase-detection autofocus system is faster than a contrast detection autofocus system. Even when recording scenes with a lot of fast movements, the videos are sharp and clear.
has continuous autofocus when recording movies
✔Sony a7R IV + Sony FE 50mm F1.8
When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp.
has a microphone input
✔Sony a7R IV + Sony FE 50mm F1.8
A microphone port allows connecting external high-end or specialized microphones.
has a socket for a 3.5 mm audio jack
✔Sony a7R IV + Sony FE 50mm F1.8
With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.
has a stereo microphone
✔Sony a7R IV + Sony FE 50mm F1.8
A stereo microphone allows to record audio files or movies in stereo without an external microphone.
Has timelapse function
✔Sony a7R IV + Sony FE 50mm F1.8
A timelapse shows a long passage of time sped up. A series of photographs taken from the same position over a long period is joined together to create a short video. It is great way to capture things like the setting sun, or clouds moving across the sky.
movie bitrate
100Mbps
The higher the movie recording bitrate the better the movie quality with more and crispier details and less compression artifacts.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
Battery
Battery life (CIPA)
670shots
CIPA is an independent, standard measurement that determines how many shots a camera can take before the battery dies.
has a removable battery
✔Sony a7R IV + Sony FE 50mm F1.8
The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken.
has a rechargeable battery
✔Sony a7R IV + Sony FE 50mm F1.8
The battery can be recharged and used over again.
has a battery level indicator
✔Sony a7R IV + Sony FE 50mm F1.8
An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.
battery power
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.

Has dual card slots
✔Sony a7R IV + Sony FE 50mm F1.8
It has two memory card slots, allowing you to store more photos without switching cards. This is particularly useful on long shoots when you need more space.
has pixel shift shot
✔Sony a7R IV + Sony FE 50mm F1.8
The camera can take a series of shots, shifting the sensor slightly with each one. These can then be combined to create an extremely high-resolution image. It’s particularly useful for things like photographing artwork.
shoots raw
✔Sony a7R IV + Sony FE 50mm F1.8
A raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor. Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor.
supports lossless compressed raw
✖Sony a7R IV + Sony FE 50mm F1.8
It is capable of shooting stills in a lossless compressed raw format. This has all the advantages of shooting raw, while taking up much less storage space. The smaller file size also allows quicker read/write speeds.

Très haut de gamme chez Sony, il joue dans la cours des grands tels Hasselblad, GFX 100... Précurseur des boîtiers sans miroir, il devance de loin les pionniers tels Canon ou Nikon. Des optiques qui n'ont rien à envier aux autres, il tient la dragée haute même a son grand frère le A1. Il continue à avoir de l'avance sur les Canon EOS 5Ds/r et même le R5. Il est là pour de longues années .... Bon investissement pour un bel objet

Amazing quality! I plan to use it for wildlife and landscapes. The images quality is obvious when compared to similar cameras in price. Smooth and balanced well. Slightly heavy then I wish but not worth complaining. I highly recommend this camera!
