After a decade or more with my gen 1 A7 I decided to upgrade to the A7IV. If you're coming from a A7II or A7 the upgrade is quite large. The autofocus speed is the biggest thing I noticed immediately. Even older lenses like my 55mm Zeiss is very fast on this camera.
The other thing I noticed is how this camera body is about twice as thick as the original A7. If you liked how small the A7 was well... expect the A7IV to be more of the thickness of most other cameras. The thickness from what I understand is the sensor stabilization which by the way the original A7 didn't have. I used to use a monopod with the A7 because no stabilization meant handshake was a very real issue. With the A7IV I can get very sharp images in hand without worry.
One other thing. This camera's ISO has some dual sensor business going on. It's both a good and bad thing. It's good because if you shoot at 100ISO or 400ISO your images will look almost identical on noise. The bad is if you shoot at 125, 160, 200, 250 or 320. Someone that doesn't know this may get less sharp images when you need to increase ISO over 100. Do yourself a favor and just shoot at 100 and 400 for most instances then over 400 as usual.
I noticed reviewers complaining about the camera menu, but if your coming from another A7 you'll understand the menu quite easily.
All other specs were about what I expected. The massive increase in AF points, better video recording, full HDMI slot, dual SD card slots, etc. Also no wall charger for battery... really Sony? Don't be Apple please.

From the manufacturer
33MP back-illuminated CMOS full-frame sensor
Copper wiring contributes to higher transmission speeds and faster AD (analogue to digital) conversion. Fast sensor readout enables 10-bit 4:2:2 4K recording up to 60p. The sensor also provides improved color reproducibility, low-noise performance, 15+stop dynamic range and increased AF speed.
BIONZ XR image processor up to 8x processing speed
The BIONZ XR engine, also used in the Sony Alpha 1 and Alpha 7S III models, provides up to an 8x increase in processing speed. The engine concentrates real-time processing of AF, image recognition and image quality adjustment to minimize processing latency for greatly increased processing power.
4K 60p recording and 4:2:2 10-bit recording
Full pixel readout without binning allows 4K 60p recording in Super 35 mode providing high-resolution smooth footage that can be edited to 2x and 2.5x slow-motion when rendered to 30p or 24p in post-production, and 4K 24p or 30p full pixel readout without binning in full-frame with 7K oversampling.
Beautiful color expression, with S-Cinetone
The Alpha 7 IV supports S-Cinetone, based on expertise gained through development of the VENICE CineAlta professional cinema camera line. It delivers natural mid-tones for healthy-looking skin color, plus soft colors and gorgeous highlights.
Real-time Eye-AF for humans, animals, and birds
The high speed of the latest image BIONZ XR processing engine provides a significant boost to Real-time Eye AF performance, even when the subject is looking up, down, or sideways. It is also possible to use Touch Tracking to initiate Real-time Tracking of any subject in the frame.
Fast Hybrid AF with improved speed and tracking
759 phase-detection AF points and 425 contrast-detection AF points with a wide coverage of roughly 94% of the image area for both stills and movie. This vast collection of data is analyzed in real time by the latest powerful BIONX XR processing engine to achieve the AF system's impressive results.

Strange things in the box
Why no power block to charge the camera?I understand that it is sold as a "used" item and that the manuals might be missing.But if this unit is used, it was only barely breathed on. This sucker is as new as it gets.Everything seems to be in order. Was able to register for warranty with SONY, so that's good.But why a charging block from EU??

I upgraded to this camera from the Sony a6100 and I’ll tell you what, it’s quite the upgrade! I’ve been so happy with it. The images I’ve shared were taken with this camera and the 24-70mm f/2.8 lens.
