Take a walk in the woods with me while I discuss the reasons why I cancelled my pre-order for a Sony A7R IV. I've been a Sony shooter for 4 years and I enjoy using their camera gear but I soon realised that spending £3500 to replace a camera that isn't even 2 years old feels a bit foolish. If you're an existing subscriber then you'll know I'm not a camera gear fanatic, so this isn't your typical gear video - it's an honest look at what I believe is much more important in photography and things we might want to consider before diving into the acquisition of more gear.
