The Sony Alpha 7 IV (A7 IV) Naked Camera Body goes under €2,500 at Digixo i.e. a drop of regarding 12% on the price usually observed.
After more than 3 years of good and loyal service, the Alpha 7 III (A7 III) is replaced by the Alpha 7 IV (A7 IV). Among the novelties, the sensor is renewed while many photo and video functions are improved.
With the Alpha 7 IV (A7 IV), Sony strikes a blow. The corrections, adjustments and other improvements are there, both on a software and ergonomic level. Always at the forefront of performance in the management of autofocus and subject tracking, this very good performance is to be compared with an increasing image definition. If some stinginess are still to be deplored, difficult not to place the Alpha 7 IV (A7 IV) as an excellent device to do everything. Driven by a greatly improved video section and a still very effective photo mode, the Alpha 7 IV (A7 IV) is positioned as a benchmark in its segment.

An alternative
With the Lumix S5 II, Panasonic offers a well-finished, very versatile case and finally equipped with a very efficient autofocus. A camera at ease in photos and formidable in video, which will satisfy the greatest number. We can always put forward AF tracking a slight notch below the competition, or even a lighter autonomy, but it is clear that the presence of Panasonic on the 24×36 market is greatly improved with this S5 II.
