- The Sony A7riv boasts a whopping 61mp sensor and is one of the highest Megapixel Sensors in the full frame line up of cameras across different brands.
I bought this for my professional photography work, was it worth it? Or does it disappoint? Well in this video I give you my experience with the camera so far.

I remember back in 2001, people were calling Nikon D1X 6MP was overkill and 3MP was a sweat spot. People were saying. "what's next? useless 12MP???" Also I remember so many so-called enthusiastic photographer were refusing the idea of having video function in digital cameras. 20+ years later, those perspective changed so much!
Oh wow yeah, it’s crazy how fast technology has come in such a short period of time respectively…
Although I feel in recent times say the last few years camera technology seems to have peaked with only small improvements.
Interesting to see where it goes aye!
Thanks for sharing your experience 🙏👌🏻💪🏻
Yes, but....
To be honest I don't remember that may people saying 6MP was too many - what I remember being the thing was Digital still doesn't have the resolutions of slide film.
Today, I shoot Nikon and mostly I'm using at 20+Megapixel sensor and occassionally 45Megapixel. I use the later for my landscape photography but honestly I'm not convinced it makes any difference. I use it because I have it. The files are large (I always shoot RAW). Even at 20MP I can rarely see the difference in prints and definitely can't on a screen when showing the whole image. Going back in the day it was in the 2010s that people started talking about the sensor surpassing the lens ability to resolve the detail. Even at 20MP I can see my cheaper or older lenses struggling with softness even in their sweet spot. So what does 61MP bring us - just the label? More noise? That we have fallen for the emperor's new clothes? Show me a 45MP and 61MP taken with any Sony lens and I bet if I change them around you couldn't tell the difference. Yes more than 6MP, 12MP is ok, 20MP is really good and I defy people to see an improvement on anything that isn't an A1 print, 45MP on FF (larger sites that a APC 20MP) good noise, many lenses noticeably softer at the edge, 61MP?? No improvement on A0 prints, marketing hype? worse noise?, limit buffer and frame rate, out performing the lens by a margin. I'm just not convinced but feel free to spend your own money.🤣
@@markhickson9087 Back in 2000's, high MP vs low MP was debated even more often than today because the high MP came with a heavy penalty of high ISO noise and considered as unnecessary. It is true that most professional photographers don't need high MP because they already know the type of shots they will take when they get to the job sites with their predefined template. Cropping is not really needed for them. For serious hobbyists, who take photos of everything from family, street, wild life, landscape, vacation, etc and who do not carry five lenses, cropping is a vital tool to increase their chance of taking that one golden moment that low MP would have missed. If you don't believe there is a difference in final image between 20MP and 60MP, take any shot with a small object in 20MP camera then blow it up at 300%. You will see the image become a garbage where 60MP will still resolve. Every time I see people comparing low MP vs high MP, they are blowing up a large object that already contains plenty of pixels. As I said earlier, high MP is just another tool for photographing in certain situation just like how filters, tripod, flash, etc can get you that shot that you would missed without. If you need it, then you need it. If you don't need it, then don't use it. All these conversations of low MP vs. high MP is like saying Toyota corolla is good enough and ending a sentence like that. Good enough for what and who????
I don’t use my a7rv at 61 MP. I will for specific situations but the autofocus is what I paid for
I hear that!! Next level stuff.
Im still debating between a Sony A7 IV and a Sony A7R IV
If you want video and photography go for the A7iV… if your more focused on photography, go for the A7riv (cheaper to) 🙃🙏
@@BenjahMedia isnt the A7iV CONSIDERABLY cheaper, in canada its about a $1000 cheaper??
In the UK, on the secondhand market the a7riv is cheaper. I got mine on MPB, got a really good deal on it.
Camera prices do vary from country to country though so it may be slightly different in Canada I’m not sure. 🤔
I HATE the hate like if you ever compare the a9 and a1 yoiu can see the difference in resolution....... if you want high end resolution yes theres a difference this isnt samsung grain of sand size 600 megapixel cameras
Thanks for sharing your perspective. 🙃
@@BenjahMedia i was literealyl taking your side bruv, people on sony groups always love to shame R series cameras and say * you dont reeally need that many megapixels all you need it 12 or 6* 🤡 or *its about the photographer not gear* 🤡 when no photographer is all about gear... a prime at f2 aint got anything on a sigma f1.4, its faster thats just that and the more resolution on the a7r5 vs the a7iv you can literally spot the more resolution
Why do i use a fuji GFX 100s ii ...102mps 😂don't forget the 2...if it was 99 mps ..yeah nah lol.
I like image quality
I can afford it
I sell work and have done well with it
The new 100s ii is amazing GFX....
I loved my XT5 but missed dynamic range
The GFX 100s ii is bloody amazing 😮
The dreamy meduim format makes me drool 🤤
People that say megapixels donr matter 🙄.....yeah they haven't used one
It's more challenging to use ...the more mps means the camera needs more challenges.
Wow yeah that’s next level 🥹👌🏻
I’d love to have a play around with the gfx medium format system!
Awesome stuff thanks for sharing. 🙏
😊
🙃
You're like little Ricky Gervais ;)
I’ll take that 😂🙏👌🏻
