Hey guys, just an honest question. If money wasn’t an issue and you just wanted to pick between these two cameras, which would you pick?
My use will be photography as in portraits, not really any landscapes and also videography.
Whats your reasoning between choosing one or the other?
Thanks!
Sony a7 iv vs cannon R5
Canon has better support for canon lenses otherwise the sony has way more lenses you can choose from.
For video the sony has gyro stabilization, unlimited recording, better battery, focus breathing compensation, ful sized hdmi and focus mapping... also waaaay cheaper.
As for the cannon, it doesn't have a 1.5x crop at 4k60, has more megapixels for stills, better video bitrate, can record 8k (tho that's probably garbage) and better ibis.

Swapping to a7iv from R5?
The Sony A7IV is a stellar body. I don't think you'll be disappointed. The cheap Sony 50mm sucks big time, skip it and get a Sigma or a GM. Sony's 85mm is much better. The 70-200 f2.8 is well reviewed, not sure about a direct comparison to the EF III but I believe AF should be faster than the EF lens.

You should know that Canon is fighting to keep third-party makers from making native RF mount lenses, while Sony freely licenses their mount. If that's important to you, it's something to consider.
canon looks sharper and the lenses are a better value
Price out the specific lenses you want.

I’m upgrading my personal camera soon. I was wondering what the pros and cons of these are?
I mostly shoot video but will shoot photo occasionally. I use cannon lenses. Thoughts?
