The A7R IV proves that Sony is still very much on a roll with its Alpha line. While a handful of niggles from previous models remain, the class-leading pixel count, revamped Pixel Shift Multi Shooting mode and autofocusing improvements in particular show the company continuing to innovate, and push further in all the right directions. And, while it's not cheap, it commands less of a premium than previous Alpha models when you consider just what you're getting here.

Let’s face it: you probably don’t need to take 61-megapixel photos, which makes the A7R IV a tough camera to recommend at its current asking price. That being said, it’s a fantastically powerful product that offers a surprising amount of speed and convenience for such a hi-res camera, and if it were more affordable we wouldn’t hesitate to award this impressive all-rounder a higher score. As it stands, cheaper models like the A7 III and A7R III make a lot more sense for the majority of buyers, so we’d definitely advise looking at those first.
