With the A7, Sony injected some vitality into the marketplace that was otherwise seeing more of the same from most companies.
We really have to hand it to Sony with this one: they did a fantastic job. Where else can you get a weather sealed mirrorless full frame camera with autofocus? The sensor and build quality combined with the relatively intuitive interface is phenomenal and putting this much power into the hands of money is actually a bit crazy–especially at this price point.
I am not a model, but who cares?
I care. Can't even look at this.
Got an a7 a few weeks back & it's a dream to shoot with. Finally, I can use all my vintage glass as it was intended!
Biggest disappointment on the a7 is its lackluster JPEG quality. Despite being a high-end, full-frame camera (and one which uses the same sensor as the Nikon D600/D610, which produce excellent JPEGs), the a7's photos suffer from many of the same issues as Sony's compact cameras. These issues include posterization and clumsy sharpening and noise reduction algorithms
Hello, Here's my test (in french, but with pictures) of different lenses on Sony A7: http://www.5mars.com/test-du-full-frame-hybride-sony-a7-avec-differents-objectifs/
For landscape photography the Sony A7R has got to be the ultimate camera. It’s light weight, packs small, delivers outstanding image quality and has all the features a landscape photographer needs. As I’ve mentioned before there are flaws especially if you shoot outside of landscapes but that’s not what this review is about. I have a feeling the next revision will address a lot of peoples issues (realistic issues at least) but for now you won’t get a better camera in my opinion without going to medium format. There is little wonder that both the A7 and A7R are winning many awards and “camera of the year” in places.

Watching the sky turn my favorite shade through the golden light, I still can't believe the images churning out of this Sony A7R. Don't let its size fool you, this baby packs a punch. For Canon photographers interested in landscape or studio photography, it's a non-brainer.
