How does Sony A7 IV depreciation compare to Canon R6?
A7 IV depreciates slightly faster — 18-22% per year vs Canon's 15-20%. Sony refreshes more often (A7V expected 2025-2026), and lens lock-in is weaker because most Sony shooters own native E-mount glass that transfers across bodies.
Is the Sony A7 IV still worth buying in 2026?
Yes. 33MP sensor still competitive, 4K 60p video, dual card slots, excellent AF. At $900-1,400 used, it's the best per-dollar full-frame hybrid option in 2026.
Should I sell the A7 IV with lenses or body-only?
Body-only sells faster and at a higher per-item margin. Bundled kits ($1,800-2,500 with 28-70mm or 24-105mm) sell slower but to one buyer. If you're moving to a different system entirely, bundle to clear faster.
