Body + FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6
According to our mirrorless camera expert
The Sony A7 IV + FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 is a mirrorless camera with lens for the advanced photographer and videographer. You receive a 28-70mm zoom lens to photograph portraits, landscapes, and animals. The 33-megapixel full-frame image sensor of the A7 IV is backlit. This allows you to take clear photos and videos in dark situations, like a sunset. The camera has a smart autofocus system that recognizes the eyes of people and animals. It quickly focuses on them, even when they're moving. Thanks to the fast buffer, you take photos at 10 frames per second. You don't miss a single moment during a sports match, for example.
LensThe FE 28-70mm f/3,5-5,6 OSS is a wide-angle lens that allows you to photograph landscapes and architecture. You can zoom in with the lens to take close-up photos, such as portraits. The lens has a silent autofocus motor, so you don't hear it in your recordings. Thanks to the built-in image stabilization, you can easily record and photograph by hand.
Image stabilizationThe A7 has 5-axis image stabilization, which reduces motion blur up to 5.5 stops. You take sharp photos if you photograph with slow shutter speeds or by hand. That's useful if you photograph in dark situations, like a concert. In the Active mode, the camera stabilizes your recording even more and crops the image. You use this mode when you vlog or make action videos, for example.
VideoWith the A7 IV, you record in 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. This way, you can record sharp and smooth videos that are suitable for YouTube. Use the Slow & Quick mode for slow-motion or sped-up recordings. The camera edits the footage right away. If you record in Full HD at 120 frames per second, you can slow down your videos yourself. That way, you can play around with the speed. If you record in the 10-bit 4:2:2 S-CINETONE/S-LOG3 file format, your footage has a larger dynamic range. In post-editing, you have full control over lighting and colors. You can use the livestream function of the camera for streams on social media. You can livestream a sports match, for example.

What a beast of a camera this is, for both my photography and video work. Before this I had the Sony A7iii, which was already a great camera. This one has a better grip, higher megapixel sensor, and 10-bit video (this is what makes the difference for me). Keep them coming Sony!

I really needed an upgrade for video, while I still have a long way to go in photography. As far as photography is concerned, it is actually still an overkill for me at the moment to own a camera of this level. Still opted for a camera from this class and was deeply impressed from the first moment. As far as videography is concerned it does exactly what I want and need (without overheating and time limits but unfortunately with a crop at 4k50) and in the field of photography the possibilities to expand my knowledge and skills with this camera are almost unlimited. Because I switched from Canon to Sony, everything is actually new, but the ease of use is excellent. It is advisable to really go through all the settings, whether or not "accompanied" by a YouTube video of someone who explains it for you, so that you do not have to figure everything out yourself. I find it useful. Soon I will be going to the national parks in the US and I have no doubt that this full frame beast will give me much nicer shots (and videos anyway) than the devices that have come with me on previous trips. Thanks to this camera, I'm secretly looking forward to the upcoming trips even more.

Switched to the cinemaline after using it for a little over 1 year for mainly video. Nothing but praise for the image quality. Unfortunately less enthusiastic in the audio field. As soon as you plug in a headphone, the screen is extremely limited when tilting because the plug is in the way. The optional XLR unit regularly malfunctions (Accessory not supported). HDMI is also not always free of interference. After 1 year, the camera is returned to Sony because the headphone plug has stopped working. In short, do you occasionally make a video? That's fine. Are you going to use it for serious filming? Then choose something from the cinema line.
