One of the standout features of the A7 IV is its leading-edge real-time autofocus for both photos and videos, giving you the confidence to never miss a moment. The selective and smart focusing modes are simply extraordinary and I couldn't live without them now.

Coupled with remarkable colour reproduction, this camera often lets me deliver images to our photo editors straight out of the camera, minimising post-production work. When post-processing is needed, Sony’s Imaging Edge Mobile (IEM) app comes to the rescue.

It connects via Bluetooth and allows you to wake your camera from another room, so you can edit photos without having to physically access the camera. This functionality is a game-changer, especially when the camera is tucked away in the back of my car in my kit bag, and I need to quickly share photos from races, even in five minutes between stages, and allows me to get high-quality photos straight from events, onto our company drives.

Don’t underestimate the kit lens included in this package; it is incredibly capable and deserves recognition beyond its ‘kit’ designation. With an F4 aperture, it's fast enough for most cycling-related situations and with a versatile 24-105mm focal range, it’s perfect for capturing expansive scenes, while also allowing you to zoom in for intricate shots of bike tech hidden in the back of a race truck, giving you insights that others might miss.

I've scoured all the camera sites, Jessops, Wex, Currys and all the independents, and this is the best deal on this package you're going to find this Black Friday Weekend. Do not miss out.

I seldom find myself needing a gimbal with this camera, and I rarely carry a tripod, thanks to its outstanding five-axis in-body stabilisation. The autofocus features are a game changer – I can’t imagine shooting without them. With eye tracking and the ability to prioritise either the left or right eye, you’ll never miss capturing a powerful emotion or expression during a gruelling stage race.

The menus have improved significantly and are no longer the hassle they used to be with Sony. Plus, the joystick makes it easy to find quick spot focus in manual modes.

I’ve been using a stunning 100mm prime GM lens, which is fantastic, and a 24-50 lens that’s currently mounted. Still, I often find myself returning to the kit lens because of its incredible versatility.

It truly is everything you need to kickstart your Sony photography journey. With savings as substantial as this, you’ll be able to expand your lens collection in no time.

For the work I do, I believe I could not only survive but thrive with only what’s included in this deal. I've spent the entire summer with this camera and have never seen a promotion this incredible on this model. With a jaw-dropping £839 off and all the essentials conveniently included, this is an unbeatable offer.

I’ve equipped the body with a Cargowerx Faststrap camera strap, which I highly recommend for anyone engaged in cycling photography. This excellent and clever strap allows you to sling the camera securely across your back when you're riding and get at it again really quickly when you need to shoot. Its clever one-buckle release means you’re ready to shoot instantly, so you can focus on capturing your shots without any hassle, then get going again quick when it’s time to jump back on the bike.

If you’re on the hunt for a compact, highly capable, professional-level camera for your work or cycling content, you simply can't afford to miss this deal.
