The Sony Alpha a7S III was announced on July 28th, 2020 almost 5 years after the Sony a7S II hit the shelves. Like all of Sony’s a7S Series of cameras, its main focus is video and low light photography.
The Sony Alpha a7 IVwas announced on October 21st, 2021 but unlike the a7S III which is video focused, the a7IV is a good allrounder that is competent at shooting both stills and video. This has helped to make it a very popular camera for event photographers.
If you are trying to decide which of these cameras to buy, or perhaps wondering if one can complement the other, then this article will explain all of the key differences that you need to know.

Sensor and ISO Range
Although both cameras feature a similar Full-Frame Backside-illuminated (BSI) Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ XR processing engine, the number of megapixels are not the same.
The Sony a7IV boasts the higher number of megapixels at 33.0MP, whereas the a7S III sports just 12.1 MP.
However, the lower megapixel count on the a7S III allows it to take full advantage of the large pixels and BSI copper wiring structure to more than double the ISO sensitivity.
| A7 IV | A7S III | |
|---|---|---|
| Normal ISO (Stills): | 100-51200 | 80-102400 |
| Expanded ISO (Stills): | 50 to 204800 | 40-409600 |
| Normal ISO (Movies): | 100-51200 | 80-102400 |
| Expanded ISO (Movies): | 100-102400 | 80-409600 |
Both cameras feature the BIONZ XR processing engine that boosts speed by up to 8x compared with the BIONZ X engine found in the a7III and a7SII. This helps to improve image quality, color reproduction, subject tracking and continuous shooting performance.
Still Image Recording Formats
Both cameras support RAW (compressed/uncompressed), JPEG and HEIF file types but the a7 IV goes one step further by allowing you to record in a losslessRAW.
Lossless Compression provides the maximum processing flexibility, but this comes at the expense of drive speed, because the maximum burst rate drops from 10 to around 6 fps if you use it.
4:3 and 1:1 image aspect ratio options are available for both cameras, along with the standard 3:2 and 16:9 options.
APS-C / Super 35 Mode
Both cameras feature an APS-C / Super 35 Mode allowing you to shoot using full-frame lenses with a crop factor of 1.5x, or make use of an APS-C lens.
Thanks to the larger 33 megapixel sensor in the a7 IV, when you enable APS-C mode on this camera the maximum image size will be 14 megapixels (4608 x 3072).
With the smaller 12.1 megapixel sensor in the a7S III the maximum image size will be 5.1 megapixels (2768 x 1848) when shooting in APS-C / Super 35 Mode.
Video
Probably the most important and most likely interesting difference between these two cameras is their video capabilities.
The a7S III has been designed to shoot video so it really does excel here, but the a7 IV is no slouch.
The a7S III is capable of recording 4k 120p (with a small 1.1x crop), and 4k up to 60p without a crop.
The a7IV can record up to 4k 30p without a crop, but if you want to shoot in 4k 60p this is only possible in Super 35 / APS-C Mode and that will introduce a 1.5x crop.
If you are happy shooting in Full HD then the a7S III can shoot at up to 240fps, versus 120fps on the a7IV when shooting in NTSC mode.
Both cameras share many other video features including:
- 10-bit 4:2:2 (internal and via HDMI)
- XAVC S: MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, XAVC HS: MPEG-H HEVC/H.265
- Up to 600Mbps (with ALL-Intra codec)
- S-Log2, S-Log3, HLG, S-Cinetone
- Creative Looks
- Shockless WB
- 1-7 AF transition speeds
- Flexible Exposure Mode
- No recording limitation thanks to effective heat-dissipation design to help prevent overheating
Note: The a7IV included support for the S-Cinetone picture profile on day one, but the a7S III only received S-Cinetone support via firmware update version 2.0.
The a7S III can also record 16-bit RAW video (up to 60p) when used with the Atomos Ninja V.
Being the newer camera of the two the a7 IV does come with a few new video specific features that you won’t find in the a7S III, let’s take a look at these now.
Breathing Compensation
The a7IV trumps the a7S III with one new feature called Breathing Compensation.
This mode basically crops and resizes the video to cancel-out any change in a lens’s angle-of-view (AoV) as it focuses. In other words, there’s no distracting change of framing as you refocus.
However, this mode only works with select Sony lenses because the camera needs a profile of the breathing characteristics. You can find the full list of lenses that support this function on Sony’s website here.
Here’s a video from Sony to demonstrate Breathing Compensation.
Focus Map
Another feature that you won’t find in the a7S III but you will in the a7 IV is the Focus Map. This lets you easily visualize depth of field when you’re shooting video. When in use, a focus (depth map) is overlaid on a display of the live view in real time, so you can easily see which areas are in or out of focus.
Video AF Assist
Inherited from the Cinema Line FX6, the AF Assist function smoothly switches between auto and manual focus. Rack focusing is possible by rotating the focus ring to switch into MF and shift focus to a different subject, with AF resumed when ring rotation stops.You’ll find AF Assist in the a7 IV but not the a7S III.
Shot Marks
Two types of shot marks, used as “essence marks” or flags, can be added to recorded movie footage shot with the a7IV to mark favorite takes or scenes, and the main dial can be used to quickly navigate from one mark to the next during playback. You can access these shot marks later in post using Sony’s Catalyst Browse.
Stabilization
Both cameras feature 5 axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) with 5.5EV of correction.
Both cameras also feature an active stabilization mode that adds digital correction on top of the in-body stabilization, however there is a slight crop of around 1.1x.
Both cameras also record gyro and lens data as metadata, you can use Sony Catalyst Browse/Prepare softwareto further smooth camera shake and make adjustments to image stabilization even after shooting.
Autofocus
Both cameras sport a very similar autofocus system but there are some small but important differences.
Phase-Detection Points
Each camera features 759 phase-detection AF points and 425 contrast-detection points when shooting in full-frame, this covers 94% of the image area
However, when shooting in APS-C mode with a full frame lens the number of phase detection points drops to 713 on the a7IV and 345 on the a7S III. Attaching an APS-C lens brings this number down to 575 on the a7IV and 285 on the a7S III.
Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF)
The a7S III only supports phase detection down to F11, after this the slower contrast detection takes over and the focus is locked to the setting in the first shot when shooting in any of the continuous drive modes.
With the a7IV phase detection is supported all the way down to F22 which can be helpful if you need to focus using smaller apertures.
Lowlight AF Performance
When it comes to auto focusing in low light the Sony a7S III has a two stop advantage over the a7IV:
- A7S III: EV-6 to EV20 (ISO 100 equivalent with F2.0 lens attached)
- A7 IV: EV-4 to EV20 (ISO100 equivalent with F2.0 lens attached)
AI-based Real-time Eye AF and Real-time Tracking
Both cameras support Real-time Eye AF and Real-time tracking but the a7 IV does come out on top here as it also supports Real-time Eye AF for birds whereas the a7S III is limited to animals.
| Real-time Eye AF | A7 IV | A7S III |
|---|---|---|
| Photos | Humans / Animals / Birds | Humans / Animals |
| Video | Humans / Animals / Birds | Humans |
The a7 IV is also able to track animal eyes whilst shooting video but the a7S III is limited to humans only. This could be a big deal if you are a wildlife videographer.
Shutter
Both the a7IV and a7S III feature a Mechanical shutter / Electronic shutter with a shutter speed of 1/8000 to 30s for stills and 1/8000 to 1/4 for movies.
The a7IV sports an anti-dust shutter that closes the shutter to help keep dust from the sensor when changing lenses, this is not available on the a7S III.
The a7IV also supports Variable Shutter that lets you manually adjust the shutter speed to check the impact of flickering on the monitor. This is supported whilst shooting both stills and video.
Camera Body & Controls
Both bodies share a very similar design and control layouts and they have also inherited a lot of ergonomic improvements over their respective predecessors. These include a slightly larger body and grip, along with larger buttons like the AF-ON, Custom Buttons and Joystick. Tactile feedback has also been improved.
The a7S III weights approx. 699 g (1 lb 8.7 oz) vs approx. 658 g (1 lb 7.3 oz) for the a7IV, making the a7IV around 41 g lighter although the body is a little wider.
The dimensions are as follows:
- A7S III: 128.9 x 96.9 x 80.8 mm, 699 g (1 lb 8.7 oz)
- A7 IV:131.3 x 96.4 x 79.8 mm, 658 g (1 lb 7.3 oz)
Sony A7S III
Sony A7 IV
If you look more closely at the two bodies you will spot a couple of key differences.
The first difference is the exposure compensation dial. This is clearly marked on the a7S III but on the a7IV this dial is completely blank. However, its blank for a reason as it can be fully customized in-camera.
The second difference is that the a7IV gains a new secondary dial found underneath the main P/S/A/M dial. This new dial allows you to quickly select between the Still/Movie/S&Q modes, on the a7S III these are found on the single dial.
The new dial on the a7IV also has an extra trick up its sleeve. As each mode can be assigned different customizations, button assignments and exposure settings like aperture and shutter speed. On the a7S III if you often jumped between video and stills, you would need to change your settings each time which was quite tedious.
Electronic Viewfinder and LCD Display
When you look through the electronic viewfinder of the a7S III you’ll be looking at a superb image with 9.44M dots of resolution, a magnification of 0.9x (adjustable) and an eyepoint of 25mm.
The a7IV on the other-hand drops down to 3.68 million dots, 0.78x magnification and a 23mm eye point.
Both viewfinders have a maximum refresh rate of 100Hz (PAL) or 120Hz (NTSC).
Both cameras share the same 2.95 inch (3.0-type) wide TFT rear LCD display but the a7S III has a higher resolution of 1.44M dots vs 1.04M dots on the a7 IV. Both monitors are multi-angle and touch sensitive.
Memory Cards
Both cameras have two memory cards slots that allow you to roll-over to a second card when the first is full, or shoot to both cards simultaneously, or shoot images to one card and video to the other.
The a7S III support CFexpress Type-A and UHS-II SD cards in both card slots (just not at the same time).
The a7IV supports UHS-II cards in both slots and CFexpress type A cards but these are only supported in slot 1.
You might find my Sony A7IV Memory Card Guide or my Sony A7S III Memory Card Guide helpful if you do decide to buy either of these cameras.
Connectivity
Both cameras can be shot tethered via their USB Type-Cport that facilitates high-speed PC Remote transfer of large RAW data files, so you can quickly review images on a PC and continue shooting without delay.
However, whereas the a7S III supports SuperSpeed USB 5 Gbps (USB 3.2), the a7IV supports SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps (USB 3.2).
Both cameras support a wired LAN connection if you purchase a LAN to USB C adapter.
5GHz and 2.4GHz wireless bands are also supported by both cameras along with Bluetooth Standard Ver. 4.1 (2.4 GHz band).
The Multi Interface (MI) Shoe that enables cable-less connection, directly transferring the digital audio signal for high-quality sound without degradation, while also supplying power and eliminating concerns about mic batteries is present on both cameras.
There’s a full size HDMI port along with a 3.5mm microphone and headphone terminals.
Both cameras are compatible with the same VG-C4EM battery grip that supports two NP-FZ100 batteries.
Live Streaming
Although the Sony a7S III supports live streaming it does require the use of Sony’s Imaging Edge Webcam software and the resolution is limited to 1,024 × 576 pixels.
With the a7IV you just need to connect the camera to a computer or smartphone via USB, then select “Live Stream (USB Streaming)”.
There are four options for USB streaming resolution & frame rate: 4K (2160) 15p / HD (1080) 60p / HD (1080) 30p and HD (720) 30p. You can also record internally while streaming just in case you lose your connection.
Firmware Updates
If you need to update the firmware of the a7S III then you have to connect the camera to your computer via USB. For Mac OS users this is a nightmare as it triggers security flags and can be very difficult to install.
Thankfully it is now possible to update the Sony a7IV firmware via memory card. You simply download the firmware onto a memory card and insert this into slot 1 to perform the update through the setup menu.
Price
The a7S III has an MRRP of: $3,498.00 / £3,799.00
The a7IV has an MRRP of: $2,498.00 / £2,399.00
I don’t think you need me to do the math, the a7S III is the more expensive camera by around $1000 US dollars.
Summary
Despite many similarities there are also many differences between these two Sony Alpha cameras.
As mentioned at the start of this article, the Alpha a7S III is designed for video shooters whereas the a7IV is more of a hybrid camera that aims to please both camps.
For stills shooters the 33 MP sensor in the a7 IV is the clear winner but it also offers video shooters some great features such as 4k 30p without a crop, 10-bit internal recording, S-Log2, S-Log3, HLG, S-Cinetone, breathing compensation and focus maps.
The a7S III offers much higher ISO performance, 4k 120p (with a small 1.1x crop), and 4k up to 60p without a crop, 240p Full HD, 16-bit RAW via the HDMI output.
The a7S III also has that superb 9.44M dot EVF vs 3.68 million dots for the a7 IV.
If your primary focus is video then you probably already know that the a7S III is the camera that you’d like in your gear bag.
But if you are a hybrid shooter then the a7 IV is probably going to suit you better, allowing you to shoot some amazing stills but also grab some fantastic video when the need arrises.
