Our Verdict

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV

Sony α7 III

The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and the Sony α7 III are different camera types. The Canon is a DSLR, so while it's built like a tank and has a longer battery life, it also lags behind the Sony in areas like autofocus, burst speed, and video. The Sony is also significantly more portable.
