One week with
a small inside test with sony a7 and manual lenses...
So while I’m not ready to jump on the “this camera is going to change everything” bandwagon just yet, it certainly has the potential to change some things.

On paper the A7 should offer faster auto-focusing and less noise at high ISOs than the A7R, but in reality there's not a big enough difference between the two cameras in either regard. Instead we'd choose the A7 instead of the A7R because it's significantly cheaper, it produces more manageable file sizes, has a higher flash sync speed, slightly faster burst shooting and a quieter shutter release. On the other hand, the A7R's incredible amount of detail due to the lack of an optical low-pass filter and 50% more megapixels is hard to ignore, the build quality is slightly better, and surprisingly it's the equal of the A7 in terms of noise.
