Sony shot in his foot. So bad.
If in october 2021 they release a camera that is hardly competitive with let's say a R6, sure that a year after here the competitors will be miles ahead from Sony. 10 fps with such a nice AF system, come on Sony!
They should have taken a coup de force like when they released the A7 III.
Time to wait for the A7 V.
Tell me what you shoot that 10fps would not able you to get the photo, but 20fps would. I find this race between Canon / Nikon and Sony with fps being the benchmark as a huge red herring for many photogs.
Hi Chez
Mainly bird action photography. I know you're going to tell me that I should go for an A1 or A9 II. But I am simply not going to invest a big sum for a leisure body. For my scheduled pro work I usually take an A7 RIII, but casually I like to shoot BIF for pleausre/relax. My other camera, an A7III, has an AF system that can't cope with this kind of demanding photography, so I was wishing a really good AF for the A7 IV (which is provided as I watched in the video).
I also wished some 15/20 fps bursts in ES mode, with blackout, of course, and with low rolling shutter effects (read-out sensor speed about 1/60). It should be noted that Canon does not cripple 20 fps ES in their R5 and R6 models. This is my main dissapointment with the A7 IV.
By the way, I've abandoned BIF photography for now, totally frustrated by the inability of my actual two Sony cameras. I hope you can understand the great expectations I had for the A7 IV.
Best
