Everyone feels like the a7riV issues with the 200-600 will get resolved. I just ordered the lens and is debating to order the RIV or a9. RIV is certainly more versatile. You can put the 24GM on it and us it as 24mm or 35mmish in crop mode.
I disagree with Alex. I think there is a very real problem with the RIV and 200-600. On to my second RIV now and no difference. The 200-600 is an amazing lens on the A9II. It can produce tack sharp images on the RIV....but....it misses way more than it should. And it isn't technique as I can handhold the much heavier 600GM at much lower SS and get way better hit rate compared to the 200-600. And that is just for rather static subjects....start throwing BIF into the mix and it gets worse...much worse.
I have to agree with this. Mark Smith's settings increased my keeper rate by may 15-20% but still not what I expect from a combo like this. And adding the 1.4x to the 200-600mm with the A7RIV has proven to be a disaster from an IQ perspective with almost no images I would consider acceptable. And I am shooting at 1/2000 or above almost all the time for BIF. The only thing I have not tried is disabling the IBIS and OSS but that seems counter intuitive
