I carry a A7RIV and A7CR. The RIV has everything I want in a camera body, including many items the CR lacks. Tilting (Non-flippy) screen, Joystick for AF control, APS-C 26MP crop mode, 567 AF detection points coverage (way better than the A7RIII), Dual UHS-II card slots, great 5.76 million dot EVF, 10 FPS shooting and USB C connection.
The A7RIV is the heavy lifter, used with my 70-200 and 100-400 GM zooms and 4 Batis lenses. Main use is for portraits, landscapes, airshows, boat races, birds and wildlife. The A7CR is used for travel and when a lighter weight kit is wanted with my smaller Sigma, Sony primes and Voigtlander primes.
I did not see ANY reason to update to the A7RV, especially at a $3,400 cost. It is the it is the same IQ as both my 61MP bodies, what would I really gain? The upcoming A7RVI I am sure will have nice some upgrades too, but it will cost $4,000 no doubt.
