Overview

Description

The Insta360 X4 is a 360-degree action camera designed to capture stunning 8K spherical video. With its compact and rugged design, it's perfect for capturing immersive footage on-the-go.

The Sony A7 IV is a full-frame mirrorless camera positioned as an all-rounder, balancing high-resolution 33MP stills with capable 4K video up to 60fps, making it a popular choice for hybrid shooters who need both photo and video capability from one body. Sony's advanced real-time autofocus with eye and subject tracking works reliably for both humans and animals, and a fully articulating touchscreen aids vlogging and awkward-angle shooting. Dual card slots (one CFexpress Type A, one UHS-II SD) provide flexible storage and backup options, while in-body 5-axis image stabilization helps handheld shooting in lower light.

I picked up Sony A7 IV a while back and haven't looked back. Flexible dual card slots. No major complaints so far. Would recommend.

Does exactly what we need

We've been using Sony A7 IV for a few months now and it's genuinely made a difference. Strong in-body stabilization. One minor gripe: menu system has a learning curve, but it hasn't been a dealbreaker. Would recommend.
