Description
The FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS delivers superb Image quality throughout the zoom range at all focusing distances with two aspherical elements and one XA (extreme aspherical) element to ensure high resolution throughout the image area. Two ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements, two Super ED glass elements and one ED aspherical element to minimize chromatic aberration while Sony’s Nano AR (anti-reflective) Coating II subdues flare and ghosting. For additional reach, high-performance 1.4x and 2x teleconverters are available (sold separately)..Angle of View (APS-C) : 23ﾟ- 8ﾟ6, Maximum Magnification ratio (x) : 0.3
Four of Sony’s original XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motors deliver high thrust efficiency that boosts AF speed by up to 4x compared to the previous model for fast, precise continuous autofocus and tracking for stills and movies. AF tracking while zooming is improved by approx. 30% which greatly increase chances of getting the shot even with subjects moving rapidly towards the lens.
Designed with movie magic in mind and the latest lens technology to reduce focus breathing, focus shift when zooming and axis shift when zooming. The XD Linear Motors and a new aperture drive unit contribute to quiet operation and independent control rings for focus, zoom and iris, with a click on/off switch for the aperture ring, make this lens ideal for movie shooting. Sony’s Linear Response MF feature ensures responsive and repeatable direct manual focus control.
This lens offers outstanding optical quality and autofocus in the world’s lightest* 70-200mm F2.8 zoom lens. XD Linear Motors and magnesium alloy barrel components result in an overall weight of just 2.3 lb. (1045 grams); approx. 29% lighter than the previous model. Advanced design improves balance, while a constant barrel length further contributes to easy, agile handling.

After using the Sony A7IV for a few months, I feel like I can write a review about it. I recently began my photography journey, and I thought this camera would serve as a good entry-level gear. The first thing that struck me was its stunning image quality. The 33-megapixel sensor captures details with incredible clarity, delivering lifelike images that astound me every time. One of the standout features for me is the lightning-fast autofocus. The autofocus and tracking capabilities are phenomenal. Whether I’m shooting portraits or fast-moving subjects, the A7IV locks onto the subject with precision, ensuring every shot is tack-sharp. Video capabilities are also impressive. The 4K recording at 60fps combined with the in-body stabilization produces smooth, professional-grade footage. It’s like having a compact cinema camera in your hands. One caveat, however, is the kit lens that comes with the camera. Kit lenses deliver average-quality images (see my sample photos), so keep in mind that you may need to invest in a better lens. But the kit lens does the job. Overall, the Sony A7IV exceeds expectations. Whether you’re a professional photographer or an enthusiast looking to elevate your photography game (like me), this camera is a worthy investment. It’s versatile, powerful, and a true joy to use. Highly recommended! 12 people found this helpful

After moving to the Sony FX3 for video, I decided to switch to Sony for photography, and well, wow! This is a fantastic camera, I’m using it currently with the standard f1.8 38mm lens and the f1.4 85mm g-master lens and I’m blown away, even with the “standard lens”, but stick a g master lens and it goes up another 10 notches in image quality. It’s not cheap, but it is very good. The eye tracking is decent and can make it easier to get in focus shots, especially if the subject is moving, I’ve used it with human and dog subjects and it really has performed well. You don’t get much in the box, the charger, a strap and a battery, I opted for body only since I had lenses for the FX3 and wasn’t interested in the kit lens since I mostly use prime lenses. It’s not light by any stretch, but it feels sturdy with a metal housing and exudes quality. It can take a full size SD card (just make site it’s fast enough) and also cfexpress type a cards, so there’s options there as well. 2 people found this helpful

July 2024 Style Name: Alpha 7 IV Pattern Name: Single Works well. Good size and comfortable to use. Focuses well and has facial tracking. ISO good, noise doesn’t creep in until around the 5000 mark but noise reduction can easily fix that. Good value for money. One person found this helpful

Second a7 iv I’ve owned and wish I never sold the first after rebuying. Great quality product, better size grip than the 3. Impressive auto focus, 10fps (6fps in uncompressed raw) which is fast enough for me. Not really a beginner camera in terms of ease of use but always something new to discover. Great value with the kit lens, however you will want decent glass to get the most from this camera. Highly recommend One person found this helpful
