Sony A7 IV Kit
The Sony A7 IV is a hybrid mirrorless camera that features a newly designed 33MP sensor and a host of high quality 4K video recording codecs.
The 33MP sensor has plenty of resolution for everyday photography (as a comparison, the Canon 5D mk IV has 30MP) and captures great detail and sharpness. It has lightning fast autofocus when used with compatible lenses and a range of focus tracking options including eye tracking for both people and animals.
If you then switch over to video recording you have a number of 4K and FHD recording codecs available with framerates up to 120fps in FHD. There are also a range of 10-bit codec options, which capture plenty of colour information that can make your life in post production easier.
