A memory card isn't included.
With the Sony A7 IV + FE 24-50mm f/2.8 G, you can take photos that look professional everywhere. Thanks to the 24-50mm zoom range of the lens, you can capture various subjects from landscapes to portraits. This lens has a large maximum f/2.8 aperture, so you can take bright photos with little light. When you zoom in with the lens the light intensity stays the same. The A7 IV has a smart autofocus system that recognizes human and animal eyes. It focuses quickly on this, even if they're moving. Thanks to the fast buffer, you can take photos with 10 images per second. You won't miss a single activity moment during a sports match or when you're taking photos of animals, for example.
FunctionsThe Sony A7 IV is a powerful mirrorless camera with a back-lit full-frame sensor. This way, you can make bright, detailed images. Thanks to the built-in 5.-stop image stabilization, you can use longer shutter speeds when you take photos manually. This way, you can take bright photos without motion blur with low light. A videographer records in 4K resolution with 60 fps. Use the Slow & Quick mode for delayed or accelerated recordings. The camera edits this footage right away. When you record in the 10-bit 4:2:2 S CINETONE/S-LOG3 format, your footage has a large dynamic range. In post-editing, you have complete control over the lighting and colors.
LensThe lens has a 24-50mm zoom range, so it's suitable for various kinds of photography and videography. Take it with you while you travel and take architectural and portrait photos. Thanks to the 19cm focal distance, you can take close-ups of your subject easily. This way, you can bring the details of a flower into frame sharply.

The Sony A7 IV is a powerful hybrid camera for the serious photographer and videographer. I capture smooth 4K footage and sharp 33MP photos. Thanks to the IBIS (In-Body Image Stabilization), I easily shoot stable handheld footage. However, I noticed that the burst speed for uncompressed RAW files drops to 5 to 6 fps. If you often photograph fast-moving subjects, such as athletes or race cars, and you primarily work with uncompressed files, this is something to keep in mind.
Smooth 4K videos and sharp photos I tested the Sony A7 IV with the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II lens. With this kit, I easily capture a variety of subjects. I tested the camera at a petting zoo and photographed wide landscapes from a distance and animals up close. The photos I took with this camera are razor-sharp thanks to its 33-megapixel resolution. I shoot in RAW and JPEG so I have editing options and can share my images quickly. For example, I photograph a cat enjoying the sun, and even after zooming in, I can clearly see all its hairs in my photos. These small details stand out even more thanks to the bokeh effect I create with the lens. I'm also happy with the videos I shoot. The A7 IV films in high resolution, 4K, at 60 frames per second. This allows me to smoothly capture a couple of playful goats. I film in 8-bit to save memory. For more color depth, I switch to 10-bit. This gives me even more flexibility in post-processing.
Fast autofocus on the eyes of people and animals The Sony A7 IV's autofocus is fast and quiet. I point the camera at a goat, and it immediately focuses on its eyes. The animal isn't startled by the soft sound of the shutter release. The autofocus also works well with people, making this camera suitable for portrait photography as well. In burst mode, this camera shoots a maximum of 10 compressed RAW photos per second. If you work with uncompressed files, this drops to 5 to 6 photos per second. For most situations, this is more than enough. Do you enjoy shooting fast-moving subjects like athletes or race cars and prefer working with uncompressed files? Then keep this limitation in mind.
Handy video functions with a single button On top of the camera is a function button that I customize. With a single press, I switch between video functions like Active Mode, Focus Compensation, and AF Assist. Active Mode further stabilizes my footage when I'm filming while walking. The IBIS in this camera helps with this. Thanks to this image stabilization in the camera body, I shoot sharp videos handheld. That works well, especially when I'm filming from an awkward angle and my hand shakes more. That's why I also recommend this camera for travel photography.

What a beast of a camera this is, for both my photography and video work. Before this I had the Sony A7iii, which was already a great camera. This one has a better grip, higher megapixel sensor, and 10-bit video (this is what makes the difference for me).
Keep them coming Sony!

I really needed an upgrade for video, while I still have a long way to go in photography. As far as photography is concerned, it is actually still an overkill for me at the moment to own a camera of this level. Still opted for a camera from this class and was deeply impressed from the first moment. As far as videography is concerned it does exactly what I want and need (without overheating and time limits but unfortunately with a crop at 4k50) and in the field of photography the possibilities to expand my knowledge and skills with this camera are almost unlimited. Because I switched from Canon to Sony, everything is actually new, but the ease of use is excellent. It is advisable to really go through all the settings, whether or not "accompanied" by a YouTube video of someone who explains it for you, so that you do not have to figure everything out yourself. I find it useful. Soon I will be going to the national parks in the US and I have no doubt that this full frame beast will give me much nicer shots (and videos anyway) than the devices that have come with me on previous trips. Thanks to this camera, I'm secretly looking forward to the upcoming trips even more.
