correct, there is no scenario where the a7iv has better af than an a1.
i don't see how cropping a photo is relevant to an af comparison between two cameras.
hi-rez evf is always better with all lenses, regardless of how good the p.q. is.
please post full-size ooc jpeg photo sequences that demonstrate these a1 issues you keep referring to.
the r5 has weaker p.q. because it uses noise reduction at the lowest iso ranges, which lowers resolution, you can see it in the dpr studio shots, it's pretty bad.
OK, I need to test the bif myself, but things like this were a typical thing in my experience, I can post other scenarios with smaller static birds too were it just refused to grab eyes.
Probably down to the aa filter as well!
Does resolution equate to picture quality? No, it's a factor but not exclusive element!
All I'm saying is the image quality seems more appealing, the reason and factors behind that I'm investigating
Please summarise. I don’t come here to watch youtube.
The link you've posted is from the Northrop clickbait franchise.
What did you expect? 30 fps and shutter speed 1/8 sec? With shutter release priority you get the maximum possible speed.
Well, files from all cameras shows flaws when pushed hard. And all cameras can deliver beautiful files when they are set up correctly for the specific task, unless there are limitations like autofocus speed for very fast action.
That's why I told him off too. I didn't even open it. I consider it poor form to post an unexplained link to a video without at least telling us what he concluded from watching it. Also, if it is more than 1 minute long, give us a timestamp to the most pertinent bit.
It seemed reasonable, certainly their A1 experience and observations were accurate and unbiased and I'd agree with them 100%. Their comments were informed and actually pointed to a lot of the problems with high fps shooting.
You don't have to shoot that fast. Nor do you apparently need any of these cameras.
For wildlife some may consider the R5 better due it's higher resolution. AF and rolling shutter are much worse, though.
That's nonsense. There is no "carry over into the raw" of JPEG sharpening. The only thing sharpened in the RAW would be the preview thumbnail, which won't be used by your RAW converter.
I know you can reduce the A1 fps, that's how I was using it most if not all of the time, with 3rd part lenses its at most 15fps usually a lot less though!
I know
Sure, but Im not so convinced by A1 iq overall, A7iv seems better
You keep saying variations of that, but I'm struggling to fathom what you could mean by it.I know you can reduce the A1 fps, that's how I was using it most if not all of the time, with 3rd part lenses its at most 15fps usually a lot less though!
For info the R5 only shoots 20fps in es, 1 or 20 so I was back to 8 ms anyway as 20fps was too much too, still some rs too when tracking. The R3 apparently has some additional fps options but af doesn't sound as good as R5!
Anyway, Canon aside, Z9 seems well thought out but its a monster so that's not even an option for me which leaves A1, then came tge 7 iv
I know
Sure, but Im not so convinced by A1 iq overall, A7iv seems better
That is a surprising statement. I'm unaware of *any* significant IQ advantage of the A7iv. Except maybe if you prefer lower resolution. Have you shot them side by side?Sure, but Im not so convinced by A1 iq overall, A7iv seems better
see above, people are not reporting a7iv bird af results that agree with what you claim.
i asked for photo sequences, not a cherry-picked worst case single photo.
really did they try a dslr they would notice something far more hindering ie long blackout actually i thought this had a lot to do with sensor speed scanning and the ability to do this and keep up with the frame rate at guess i am not sure you could shoot at a lot lower than 1/50th and keep 30fps ,but then the lowest read out sensor camera came out best the r3
R5 still very relevant and way cheaper
mmm not really seen it myself
good for you i always wanted to replace my a7r3 with the a74 .My take-away, I'm enjoying the A7iv a lot better than I ever did the A1, especially the image quality which imo is better than R5/Z7ii too
