Got a new A7IV over weekend. Really impressed by the performance so far. Incredibly good body.
IMO best body in Sony's lineup after the A1.
Good to hear. Think I might go look at one this weekend.

Sony 14-24 f2.8 is on Amazon for £980 right now.
The Sigma right? (great price)Sony 14-24 f2.8 is on Amazon for £980 right now.
I do miss the Sigma 12-24mm I had for my canon DSLR's.
My Panny G100 is due to arrive today and that should ease my gas for a few days
Something like that Sigma would be lovely though.
Assume you mean the Sigma 14-24? Sony don’t have a 14-24.
Apparently it’s a grey import btw.
Changed our last body to the A7mk4. Seriously underwhelming given the cost. Feels cheap and plastic and the mechanical shutter is rubbish (basically the same that’s on the 7III)
Something abit better given the standards of competitors cams at the same sort of price. I own A1, A9 and S3 cams and to be fair they’re not the greatest either build wise. If I was changing to mirrorless now I’d probably choose canon
Odd, I've got the A9ii and have no issue with build quality, everything feels solid and precise, the only thing I noticed swapping to Sony was that the grip material is not as nice.Something abit better given the standards of competitors cams at the same sort of price.

I had the Z7 and can't see a great difference except the grip material. However now you mention it the LCD does indeed need an upgrade, as does the EVF as it bugs me that it goes slightly 'grainy' whilst focussing, I can't remember my Z7 doing that and even my EM10ii doesn't do it either. I noticed it on the A7RIV so it's obviously a general Sony 'issue'.I just think like for like the Canon and even the Nikon mirrorless are built a lot better. The screens are also becoming something of a joke, when I show couples images after shooting them I make sure they look through the viewfinder lol
I've only handled Canikon mirrorless in a shop, but coming from a D610 I was pleased with how much better my A7III build quality was.I just think like for like the Canon and even the Nikon mirrorless are built a lot better.

I keep looking at other systems but neither Canon or Nikon offer me the full range of native lenses I want, and the 70-200's aren't in the same league as teh GM II

I've just downloaded some sample raws for the RX100 VI and VII and I was pretty impressed (for a compact), much better in the corners than my old G7x was and some of these were at f5.6 as well. They don't handle noise well at all though, which I guess is not surprising.F5.6 is diffraction territory for a 1" sensor.
Autofocus alone was enough reason to ditch DSLR so no doubt you’re very happy
You appear to misunderstand me - I was talking specifically about build quality. AF was the reason I changed, but the Sony was built to a much higher standard than the Nikon - that camera felt like my entry level Sony A58 rather than an enthusiast tool. Nikon have form for this, and I also own a plastic fantastic D70 that is horrible.
I think at the time and maybe even now the A7C is their best built camera as well, it being a monocoque design. It certainly does feel incredibly solid. I remember with the first cameras people had issues with the lens mount as well.I think the build quality of Sonys are now very good, I have used my bodies in blizzard and downpour with no issues.
Having said that Nikon bodies feel a lot more comfortable to use for me. Canon R5/6 less so.
Unfortunately Nikon do not have AF on the same level as Sony (may be bar the Z9) or the lenses I'd want at the wide end (24mm, 35mm and 85mm f1.4 primes).
But I am sure both those issues will be fixed eventually and Nikon already has two amazing tele lenses 400mm f4.5 and 800 f6.3.
Unless Sony comes out with something similar, I'll most likely move to Nikon in due coarse.
I didn’t misunderstand you. It was just a comment.
Hi all,
Quick question... I have recently bought an A7C. I have an adapter to make my Canon 50mm work, and it works very well, however, I have a voucher to spend in Currys which expires at the end of the month. I was looking at purchasing the Sony 50mm f1.8. Is the Sony better / different to the 50mm. Unfortunately, Currys do not carry a lot of lenses, therefore I am limited as to what I can get.
Views? Opinions? Ideas?
So is the A7iv a step down in build quality from the A9?
It just feels more plastic and like a hollow feeling to it. Hard to explain. It has the same frame essentially as the A7SIII but it feels better, hard to explain it but to me it felt a tad cheap
