The Sony A7 IV is Sony's full-frame workhorse for photographers and video creators who need one body for both. It centres on a 33 MP sensor, 759 phase-detection autofocus points with subject recognition, and 4K recording at up to 60p. In-body stabilisation is rated at 5.5 stops and the camera shoots at up to 10 fps in a 658 g body. Compared with the A7 III, it adds about 9 MP of resolution, more autofocus points and 4K at 60p instead of 30p, while battery life falls from roughly 710 to 580 shots per charge.
