Small, light, full-frame camera Excellent image quality when shooting Raw Solid build quality FE lenses are of superb quality, equal to the sensor's high resolution Compatible with a huge range of legacy 35mm camera lenses with no field-of-view crop...

Autofocus can be slow in low light Auto ISO tends to keep shutter speed at 1/FL sec, often resulting in soft images High-res sensor requires dedicated approach to shooting JPEG quality not as good as we'd like to see (less relevant for this camera's...

Sony's a7 and a7R made quite a splash, marking the first time mass-market mirrorless cameras took on full-frame SLRs. As the smallest and lightest 36.3MP camera on the market, the Sony a7R joins a pretty exclusive club, one that heretofore had only the...

Incredibly small body for a fully-featured, full-frame camera; Resolution that rivals a medium-format camera; Excellent image quality even at very high sensitivities; Decent performance bearing in mind its extremely high resolution; Accepts existing...

Extreme resolution makes focus and lens quality critical; Modest performance; Loud shutter; Lacks hybrid autofocus of the A7; Mediocre battery life when using electronic viewfinder; Slow X-sync; Limited selection of native Sony FE lenses.

The news you've been waiting for has arrived! The age of the fully-featured, full-frame mirrorless camera is finally here -- and boy, what a duo of cameras kickstart the revolution. The Sony A7R promises absolutely amazing image quality in a compact...

Qualms with its speed and focus abilities aside, the A7R is a fantastic camera worthy of all the praise it has been receiving. Though it has a significant Achilles heel in the form of action shooting, the extensive feature set, massive resolution, and...

Large megapixel count, Rugged weather sealed body, Very compact for a full frame, Second cheapest full frame camera
