BuyPointer is using current observed pricing to help you decide whether buying the Sony A7 IV now looks reasonable or whether it makes more sense to wait.
The A7 IV is now the previous generation: Sony announced the A7 V in December 2025 with a faster partially-stacked sensor and 4K120. The A7 IV is still an excellent 33MP hybrid and now sells at a discount, but it is no longer Sony's current mainstream body.
What to do now: A strong value buy if the A7 IV's feature set is enough for you. If you want the newest sensor and video specs, price a new A7 V before committing.

Current new body-only price: $1,998.00
The current new price is close to the best recent observed level BuyPointer has logged. Used pricing is only modestly lower than new right now, so buying new may be easier to justify for many buyers.
This bundle adds useful extras at essentially the same listed price as the body-only option.
Based on current observed pricing only. BuyPointer is keeping this page intentionally conservative because history is still limited.
An active promotion is showing up in current observed pricing.
A bundle is available at the same listed price as the body-only option. That adds value, but it does not replace the body-only comparison anchor.
A do-everything 33MP full-frame hybrid that was Sony's mainstream body until the A7 V replaced it in late 2025.

Prefer to buy the body and a lens together? Best Buy bundles:
Needs: SD UHS-II, V60 or V90 — 4K60 or high-bitrate 4K video.
⚠ Buy only if it says “Ships from & Sold by Amazon.” Third-party card listings are frequently counterfeit.
Many of these bodies have two SD slots — a matched second card gives you instant backup or overflow.
Right now, used pricing does offer savings, but the gap is modest enough that buying new can still make sense for many shoppers, especially when a promotion or stronger bundle value is available.
Body-only pricing gives the cleanest like-for-like comparison between new and used offers. Bundles can add value, but they are treated as extra context rather than the base price anchor.
No. This page is intentionally conservative. Limited history can still help with a buy-now versus wait decision, but it does not confirm a long-term trend by itself.
