Speaking of micro-orders, you can't fail to mention Sony. Sony has been the leader of the micro-single industry for many years, but in the past two years, as Canon and Nikon continue to exert efforts in the micro-single field, Sony's advantages in the micro-single field have slowly narrowed.
However, as the old saying goes, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, although the progress of Sony in the past two years is not as obvious as Nikon and Canon, but with years of strong technical accumulation, Sony micro-single still has a unique charm. In general, the biggest advantage of Sony micro single is good performance stability, focus stability and fierceness, excellent picture quality, Sony's micro single lens group is the richest, the price is also the most affordable, because over the years Sony has a number of sub-factories for its fuselage set of lenses, such as Tenglong, such as Sigma, such as Zeiss, Leica, Tori and so on.
Therefore, many small partners will choose Sony micro-single, after all, "Sony Dafa is good" is not called in vain, and Sony black technology is not wasted. However, in the past period of time, because the price increase of Sony's micro-orders has been a bit outrageous, coupled with the fact that various models have been out of stock, the market sales have been surpassed by Canon.
Recently, the Sony series of micro-orders suddenly came to a comprehensive price reduction, especially the Sony A7 IV, the price was directly reduced from 19999 to 16999 yuan, which made people somewhat unexpected. Think about the sony A7 IV sold for 21999 yuan a while ago, and now it seems that it is really a bit like a world away.
Nowadays, Sony not only has the price dropped significantly, but also the models are all on the board, which has surprised many small partners, and Sony micro-single has also ushered in a good time to start. So, Sony's current four hot-selling micro-orders, what are the characteristics of each? Which one is the most worth getting started?
Let's look at the first one, which is the Sony A7 IV, which has been the most highly promoted recently. The Sony A7 IV has only been booked for two days, and the number of reservations has exceeded 30,000.
Why is the Sony A7 IV so sought-after? Mainly because the Sony A7 IV is Sony's closest model to the current market time, and the Sony A7 IV is a model that focuses on comprehensive performance, which is very suitable for almost everyone. And the Sony A7 IV picture quality is very high, and the Sony A7 IV resolution is also very high, or 33 million pixels. On top of that, the Sony A7 IV's current price has dropped to an all-time low, plus the full price is even lower than the 6.18 and double eleven prices.
From the performance point of view, Sony A7 IV compared to the previous generation of Sony sales of the explosive Sony a7 III, Sony A7 IV, whether it is focus performance or image resolution, has a very large improvement, and Sony A7 IV video shooting performance has a very large improvement. Coupled with very strong stabilization and endurance, the Sony A7 IV is a high-end full-frame micro single strong machine that is most suitable for most people.
The second Sony micro-order that is currently the most worth getting started is the Sony Alpha 7C, sony Alpha 7C is a video upgrade of the Sony a7 III, and the Sony Alpha 7C upgrades the weaknesses and defects in the video shooting of the Sony A7 III. Sony Alpha 7C is a full-frame micro-single, but the fuselage is particularly small and portable, similar to a card machine. However, the picture quality of the Sony Alpha 7C is very good, comparable to the Sony A7 III. Sony Alpha 7C can shoot ultra-sampled 4K video, and can shoot video in Full HD format 120P, Sony Alpha 7C's auto tracking focus performance has also been greatly improved.

So in any way, sony alpha 7C is better than Sony a7 III, including static autofocus performance and tracking focus performance, including video shooting format and performance, including continuous shooting speed, capture performance, including 180 degree flip screen of the fuselage and so on. The Sony Alpha 7C was once Sony's best-selling model because of its excellent picture quality, powerful video shooting performance and excellent focus performance.
The third is sony a7 III, the biggest advantage of Sony a7 III is excellent picture quality, although Sony a7 III is an old machine listed in early 2018, but the picture quality of Sony a7 III is not outdated at present, and Sony a7 III balance is very good, Sony a7 III has a very good body stabilization, very good focus performance, Sony a7 III also has a very strong endurance.

However, sony a7 III is after all a machine four years ago, its continuous shooting speed is relatively slow, and the focus performance is currently somewhat outdated, far less than the current micro single. The Sony a7 III does not yet have the water and dust resistance of the fuselage, and the video shooting performance of the Sony a7 III now seems to be very weak, so it is far better to start with the Sony Alpha 7C. Of course, if you are just taking photos, pursuing picture quality, and have no requirements for video shooting, sony a7 III is still a very good choice.
The fourth sony's best-selling model is the Sony Alpha 7R III, which is a sony's previous-generation full-picture quality flagship. The Sony Alpha 7R III has approximately 42.4 million effective pixels, and the Sony Alpha 7R III also boasts 5-axis stabilization. Sony Alpha 7R III focus performance far exceeds sony a7 III, Sony Alpha 7R III has real-time eye focus performance, Sony Alpha 7R III has a continuous shooting speed of 10 shots per second, Sony Alpha 7R III also has a high dynamic range and excellent ISO high performance, especially the Sony Alpha 7R III is also capable of shooting 4K uncropped video and HD format 120P video.

So no matter from what point of view, Sony Alpha 7R III is far ahead of Sony a7 III, after all, Sony Alpha 7R III was listed nearly two years later than Sony A7 III, and all aspects of technology have been greatly improved, and the degree of entry is far beyond Sony A7 III.
