2. CARDS & CONNECTIVITY They each have two SD slots, but the A7 IV also works with one CFexpress Type A card. The Sony sports a full-sized HDMI port instead of the micro sized version.

3. IMAGE QUALITY They are similar overall but the Sony does a bit better in the highlights and offers more resolution.

4. AUTOFOCUS The R6 II is faster and more accurate with Eye AF. They deliver the same performance for birds in flight, but the R6 II does this at 4x the drive speed.
