Sony announced the upcoming A7 IV e-mount full frame camera.\u00a0 The preview I saw at the B+H Photo<\/a> site was pretty impressive.\u00a0 It’s supposedly has most of the autofocus and other upgrades of the A1 top of the line camera in this new standard camera.\u00a0 It’s even got the reversible LCD screen which people making vlogs really want.\u00a0 I has bird eye auto focus tracking and all the other stuff that nature and sports shooters want.\u00a0 They claim tha the AF capability rivals the A1.\u00a0 That probably will have to be confirmed in the field.\u00a0 I’ve seen reality sometimes lag behind such claims.\u00a0 But that being said, I’m sure that the Af on this new camera will blow away what I can do with the A7 III.\u00a0 I would like to find out if the LA-EA5 will be able to use non-motorized lenses on this camera but that is sort of a minor point that reflects my senitmental attachment to a couple of old A-mount lenses that I own.\u00a0 The price is $2,600 which I guess is sort of expected.\u00a0 Ouch!<\/p>\n

The release date hasn’t been announced.\u00a0 But it is fairly certain that I’ll trade in my A7 III for this camera.\u00a0 It just makes sense.\u00a0 For you Sony shooters this is an interesting moment.\u00a0 Do you need the latest and greatest?\u00a0 Personal choice.<\/p>\n
