Save $213 on a professional-level camera that offers brilliant image quality and performs well in low-light conditions to boot. We think it's one of the best mirrorless cameras.


Sony's A7R IV mirrorless camera may be five years old but it's still an amazing powerhouse of a camera, aimed at photographers who want superb quality and performance. At $200 off, it's a no-brainer if you're planning on taking your snapping skills to the next level.

We sang its praises in our Sony A7R IV camera review and not only does it excel at astrophotography, it's perfect for studio work, landscapes and much more. It's capable of producing 61-megapixel shots in raw format, so you're all but guaranteed beautiful pictures. It also boasts customisable buttons with 100 optional functions, though that may take a little getting used to; we did find the menu slightly fiddly.

But if you're a pro photographer or an aspiring pro photographer, this is a steal at under $2500. Snap it up before it disappears along with Prime Day!

Key features: 61MP full-frame sensor, Sony E lens mount, ISO 100-32,000 range, 4K UHD 30p video, 1.4 lb (665g) weight.

Price history: Before today's deal, we've seen this camera drop $200 in price, but never this low. This is the cheapest seen this camera get.

Price comparison: Amazon: $2699 | Walmart: $2485

Reviews consensus: In our review of the Sony A7R IV, we praised its image quality and, in particular, we were seriously impressed with its autofocus and low-light performance. This is a brilliant camera for professionals, the only catch being that the menu system can a little unwieldy.
