The Sony A7 IV is the best hybrid mirrorless camera you can buy right now. A truly modern all-rounder that largely justifies its price tag, it packs class-leading autofocus, impressive image quality and powerful video features into one versatile body. Dedicated street or sports photographers should look elsewhere, and it isn't the fastest shooter in its class. But for everyone else, the A7 IV is a rock-solid all-rounder with few glaring weaknesses. It might be the only camera you ever need.

The Sony A7 IV is a premium all-rounder, with sufficient power to take on almost any photo or video assignment: portraits, landscapes, vlogs, street photography and low-light work. It offers superb AF, good image stabilisation and excellent video quality – but those seeking a camera to shoot professional video might be slightly disappointed by the crop required when recording at 4K/60fps.

The Sony A7 IV is a fantastic tool for hybrid shooters thanks to its impressive stills and video performance, customization options and powerful autofocus. It’s not the fastest shooter — a disappointment for action and wildlife shooters — and comes with a hefty price tag, but is a solid investment that will deliver great results for years to come.
