Sony’s a7R series of cameras are geared towards those who want the highest level of detail in their images. The R refers to resolution, and these cameras will provide higher resolutions than the non-R counterparts. The a7R IV boasts a massive 61MP Exmor R BSI CMOS sensor, a significant bump from the a7R III’s 42.4MP sensor. Additionally, the 14-bit raw files provide a whopping 15 stops of dynamic range, giving you plenty of room to recover shadows and highlights.

Should 60MP not be enough resolution, you can take advantage of the Pixel Shift Multi Shooting mode. This mode takes 16 consecutive images, shifting the sensor via the sensor-shift image stabilization to produce a massive 240.8MP image with image dimensions of 19,008 x 12,672 pixels.

The BIONZ X image processor enables speedy autofocus, 4K30p video capture, and fast burst shooting. In fact, it’s capable of 10fps at full resolution (for jpg files) for up to 68 consecutive frames. The high-end specs of this camera result in a high-end price, and seeing it sub $3,000 is quite impressive. It’s definitely an ideal time to invest if you’ve been considering it.
