I’m trying to decide which camera I should buy to upgrade my aging 6D from 10 years ago. I pretty much ruled out the Sony A7 IV as the R6 Mark II is a slightly better option in almost every way. However, at that price point, I could get a barely used A7R IV. Megapixels aren’t everything but 61 megapixels have appeal especially when cropping. I mostly do portraits, landscape, and wildlife. The R6 Mark II brings a lot to the table however, including much better autofocus and shutter speed for wildlife. Ultimately both would be fine but I’m having a hard time picking one. I would appreciate your thoughts on the matter.
I suggest that you try the Sony A7RIV and figure out if you like it. If you do more landscape than wildlife it might be worth a look if you are printing big sizes.
I'm a Canon and Sony user. During the holidays there were some deals here on the A7RIV + vertical grip. I passed on it because I was more interested in the A7IV with a newer AF technology. Three weeks ago I tried the A7IV and the R6MKII at a local camera store. I didn't like the handling of the Sony. It (+24-105/4 G) felt tight in my right hand. Right there I eliminated it from my buying decision whereas the R6MKII handled perfectly. Eventually I bought the Canon.
