Thjs camera is superb, i use it mostly with the zeiss 35mm f2.8. Size and weight means that I can carry it everywhere. I was slightly worried about resolution of 12 MP sensor but it has superb colour depth and detail. This is the ideal camera for me, I cannot fault it really.

The Sony A7R is a great camera, make no mistake about that. To get a full frame sensor into such a small package is quite a feat of engineering. Canon and Nikon take note! and catch up!

The Sony a7S is an interesting departure for a camera company: a model where possibly more of the emphasis during the design process has been placed on video capture, rather than stills. This is made easier to see by the existence of its sibling models.

Impressive image quality; Superb; detailed; essentially moiré-free 1080p footage; Outstanding 4K (UHD) video when used with external recorder; Useful; high resolution electronic viewfinder; Completely silent shooting available; Microphone and headphone ports; Useful tools; such as focus peaking and...

Limited to contrast-detect AF; while a7/II siblings have on-sensor phase-detect AF; Lower dynamic range and resolution than immediate competitors; Sony's Raw compression scheme can lead to posterization at high contrast edges; Small battery can be restrictive; especially for video shooting; Lack of...

A filmmaker's dream – but still photographers may be better off looking lower down Sony's range

Shoots 4K video; Excellent in low light; Huge; bright OLED viewfinder

4K recording requires external device; 12.2MP sensor seems limiting for stills; Very expensive

Bought this camera at Adorama in NYC and I am not in Brazil and Sony does not provide access to their Playmemories site from overseas, so I can't buy and download their app for time-lapse, unless I return to the US and download from there.

I am professional photographer. I bought the Sony A7S to try it. Surely it is an amazing camera, but I am going to sell it for the following reasons: I can't stand how uncomfortable is the grip with the shutter button put straight up in vertical...

Traveling around Europe at the moment. Used it in Cork 11 pm. The town was glowing. It was like daylight.

After 3 weeks with an A7S + a LA-EA4 and a Sony 50mm F1.4 and a Battery Grip ... I can say that I'm in love with this camera. Every photo we took are so nice, so colored, noiseless with a great IQ ... This camera is a toy that says : take photo, take photo, take photo !

If you're coming from a Canon, you'll know the ergonomics are terrible on this camera, the ease of use is not so good, but there are Youtube vids to help, definitely look for an external battery source and a cage to help with ergonomics.
