According to our mirrorless camera expert
The Sony A7 IV is a professional mirrorless camera for enthusiastic photographers and videographers. The light-sensitive 33-megapixel full-frame image sensor is backlit, so you can also create a clear image in dark circumstances. The autofocus system has 759 focus points, so you can quickly focus on your subject. The camera has real-time tracking and Eye autofocus for people and animals. While you watch birds, the camera automatically focuses on the bird's eyes and follows its movement. Thanks to the fast buffer, you can take photos at 10 fps. That way, you won't miss anything.
Image stabilizationThe 5-axis image stabilization reduces motion blur up to 5 stops. this means you can manually take photos for longer at dusk or dark locations. In Active Mode, the camera stabilizes your recording even more by cropping the image. That's useful for videographers making a vlog or activity video, for example.
VideoTake smooth videos in 4K resolution at 60 fps. In the Slow and Quick mode, you can make slowed down or sped up recordings right away. The camera edits these images immediately. If you want to slow down your recordings in post-editing, record in Full HD at 120 fps. Experienced videographers record in 10-bit 4:2:2 S-CINETONE/S-LOG3. This file format has a larger dynamic range, so you can later adjust the lighting and colors more accurately. Use the livestream function for razor-sharp YouTube streams and share a live event that way, for example.

What a beast of a camera this is, for both my photography and video work. Before this I had the Sony A7iii, which was already a great camera. This one has a better grip, higher megapixel sensor, and 10-bit video (this is what makes the difference for me).
Keep them coming Sony!

I really needed an upgrade for video, while I still have a long way to go in photography. As far as photography is concerned, it is actually still an overkill for me at the moment to own a camera of this level. Still opted for a camera from this class and was deeply impressed from the first moment. As far as videography is concerned it does exactly what I want and need (without overheating and time limits but unfortunately with a crop at 4k50) and in the field of photography the possibilities to expand my knowledge and skills with this camera are almost unlimited. Because I switched from Canon to Sony, everything is actually new, but the ease of use is excellent. It is advisable to really go through all the settings, whether or not "accompanied" by a YouTube video of someone who explains it for you, so that you do not have to figure everything out yourself. I find it useful. Soon I will be going to the national parks in the US and I have no doubt that this full frame beast will give me much nicer shots (and videos anyway) than the devices that have come with me on previous trips. Thanks to this camera, I'm secretly looking forward to the upcoming trips even more.

Switched to the cinemaline after using it for a little over 1 year for mainly video. Nothing but praise for the image quality. Unfortunately less enthusiastic in the audio field. As soon as you plug in a headphone, the screen is extremely limited when tilting because the plug is in the way. The optional XLR unit regularly malfunctions (Accessory not supported). HDMI is also not always free of interference. After 1 year, the camera is returned to Sony because the headphone plug has stopped working. In short, do you occasionally make a video? That's fine. Are you going to use it for serious filming? Then choose something from the cinema line.
