Sony Alpha 7 IV (ILCE-7M4)
The Sony A7 IV remains the default all-rounder for people who want one full-frame body that does almost everything well.
Read the product overview
Its 33-megapixel sensor sits in a sweet spot between resolution for stills and manageable file sizes, and the autofocus is still among the most dependable for eye detection on people and animals. It shoots clean 4K and has the deep lens ecosystem of Sony's E-mount behind it, which is the real long-term draw. The catch is that it is no longer the newest body in its class, the menu system takes patience to learn, and 4K60 comes with a slight crop, so action-video shooters should weigh that before committing.
