Michael Castaneda – Videos & Timelapses
“A perfect hybrid camera, the Sony Alpha 7 IV is what I use primarily for video and for timelapses. I have an issue of wanting to pull out of the timelapse to take photos of a scene so with this body, I’m able to have my timelapse running without having to fear I’m missing out on the shot with the R body. At 33 MP and 4K video capabilities, this body is perfect for my extended needs by still providing great detail without overloading my computer’s storage.”

Brandt Ryder – Landscapes & Astroscapes
“I absolutely love the versatility of the Sony Alpha 7 IV for both landscape and astrophotography. High pixel resolution isn’t always better. In fact, lower megapixel bodies can often perform better in the low light situations that are so common when shooting landscapes. Producing clean images is so important for fine art prints The Sony Alpha 7 IV’s 34-megapixel sensor is the sweet spot delivering images that are sharp, have incredible dynamic range, and are manageable in size when stacking and taking large panoramas. So many features of Sony Alpha 7 IV hit the mark for my workflow from ergonomics to weight to customizable buttons.”

Kristīne Zāle – Macro
“My Sony Alpha 7 IV is always with me on photo walks—it’s been my trusted companion since I first got it. The fully articulated screen is perfect for capturing those tricky low-angle shots without the discomfort of lying on the ground, especially useful for vertical macro photography. The 33 MP sensor gives me plenty of room to crop while preserving fine details. The newly added focus bracketing feature has been a game-changer for focus stacking, and I love the quiet operation of the silent shutter. Plus, the 10-fps burst mode is a great help for capturing insects in motion.”
