Description

No other full frame, interchangeable-lens camera is this light or this portable. 36MP of rich detail. A true-to-life 2.4 million dot OLED viewfinder. Wi-Fi sharing and an expandable shoe system. It's all the full-frame performance you ever wanted in a compact size that will change your perspective entirely. NFC: One-touch remote, One-touch sharing From the Manufacturer Sony® α7R Full Frame Compact Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera No other full frame, interchangeable-lens camera is this light or this portable. Features 36MP of rich detail, a true-to-life 2.4 million dot OLED viewfinder, Wi-Fi® sharing and an expandable shoe system. It's all the full- frame performance you ever wanted in a compact size that will change your perspective entirely. Technology World's smallest and lightest1 interchangeable lens full-frame cameraSony's Exmor® image sensor takes full advantage of the Full-frame format, but in a camera body less than half the size and weight of traditional full-frame DSLRs.Ultimate full frame 36.3 MP resolution with no optical low-pass filterThe newly developed 36.3-megapixel 35mm full-frame Exmor® CMOS sensor delivers unbelievably high resolution in combination with high sensitivity and extremely low noise. Sony removed the optical low-pass filter to bring out the full potential of the sensor and lens, thus achieving an enhanced sense of clarity with supremely realistic details to the very edges of your photos. An AR coating also reduces flare and ghosting.Gapless, optimally positioned on-chip lensesSony optimized the design and positioning of every on-chip lens (OCL) covering every pixel to significantly enhance light-gathering efficiency. A gapless on-chip lens design eliminates the gaps between the micro-lenses to collect more light. Moreover, each on-chip lens is optimally positioned depending on its location to accommodate the sharper angle of light entering the periphery, which is caused by larger sensor dimensions being teamed with the E-mount's short flange-back distance. New BIONZ® X image processing engine Sony proudly introduces the new BIONZ® X image processing engine, which faithfully reproduces textures and details in real time, as seen by the naked eye, via extra high-speed processing capabilities. Together with front-end LSI (large scale integration) that accelerates processing in the earliest stages, it enables more natural details, more realistic images, richer tonal gradations and lower noise whether you shoot still images or movies.Fast Intelligent AF for responsive, accurate, and greater operability with full frame sensorThe high-speed image processing engine and improved algorithms combine with optimized image sensor read-out speed to achieve ultra high-speed AF despite the use of a full-frame sensor. Fully compatible with Sony's E-mount lens system and new full-frame lenses To take advantage of the lightweight on-the- go body, the α7R full frame compact interchangeable lens digital camera is fully compatible with Sony's E-mount lens system and expanded line of E-mount compact and lightweight full-frame lenses from Carl Zeiss and Sony's premier G-series. Additional Features Direct access interface for fast, intuitive shooting controlQuick Navi Pro displays all major shooting options on the LCD screen so you can rapidly confirm settings and make adjustments as desired without searching through dedicated menus. When fleeting shooting opportunities arise, you'll be able to respond swiftly with just the right settings.High contrast 2.4M dot OLED EVF for eye-level framingView every scene in rich detail with the XGA OLED Tru-Finder, which features OLED improvements and the same 3-lens optical system used in Sony's flagship a99 DSLR. The viewfinder faithfully displays what will appear in your recording, including the effects of your camera settings, so you can accurately monitor the results. You'll enjoy rich tonal gradations and 3 times the contrast of the α99. High-end features like 100% frame coverage and a wide viewing angle are also provided.3.0" 921k dot LCD tilts for high and low angle framingThe tiltable 3.0" (921k dots) Xtra Fine™ LCD Display makes it easy to photograph over crowds or low to capture pets eye to eye by swinging up approx. 84° and down approx. 45°. Easily scroll through menus and preview life thanks to WhiteMagic™ technology that dramatically increases visibility in bright daylight. The large display delivers brilliant-quality still images and movies while enabling easy focusing operation.Simple connectivity to smartphones via Wi-Fi® or NFCConnectivity with smartphones for One-touch sharing/One-touch remote has been simplified with Wi-Fi®/NFC control. In addition to Wi-Fi support for connecting to smartphones, α7R also supports NFC (near field communication) providing "one touch connection" convenience when transferring images to Android™ smartphones and tablets. Users need only touch devices to connect; no complex set-up is required. Moreover, when using Smart Remote Control — a feature that allows shutter release to be controlled by a smartphone — connection to the smartphone can be established by simply touching compatible devices.PC control w/ remote video capture controlRemote Camera Control allows you to control your α7R from your PC using a USB cable. Feature control has also been updated to include video capture control.14-bit RAW output for rich tonal gradation14-bit RAW image data of extremely high quality is outputted by the α7R. This data fully preserves the rich detail generated by the image sensor during the 14-bit A/D conversion process. When developed with Sony's Image Data Converter RAW development software, these images deliver the superb photographic expression and rich gradation that only 14-bit data can offer.Full HD movie2 at 24p/60i/60p w/uncompressed HDMI® outputCapture Full 1920 x 1080 HD uncompressed clean-screen video files to external recording devices via an HDMI® connection in 60p and 60i frame-rates. Selectable in-camera AVCHD™ codec frames rates include super-smooth 60p, standard 60i or cinematic 24p. MP4 codec is also available for smaller files for easier upload to the web.Multi-interface Shoe for flash and microphone flexibilityUnlike conventional cameras, the α7R features the advanced Multi- Interface Shoe that dramatically expands compatibility with Sony digital imaging accessories, thus raising the potential for photo/movie shooting.4K Still image output by HDMI®8 or Wi-Fi® for viewing on 4K TVsEnjoy Ultra High Definition slide shows directly from the camera to a compatible 4K television.

  • Lowest price MP/$ camera with no AA filter
Color: Black
Update: If you watch the shutter speed and use center focus to find same focus plane subject areas, this is a fine shooter. The images are clean, have great dynamic range, and coupled with Sony G or Sony Zeiss lenses, yielding better images that stands up to pixel peeping. Way more resolution than 90% people will need. Not a pro, but this original A7r is still awesome. The Sony system has confounded me. I've had faster, better cameras, so-called better glass, but when you look at the results, this Sony has better looking files as long as you stay with the system. Adapters are fun, but when you can concentrate on shooting, the results are there. ----------------------------------------- Ok, I'm a little late to the party. Here is a superfast review. I chose the A7r not A7r II, because most FE lenses are already OSS and I have not printed 30x40 for almost 3 years. Updated to 3.10 firmware so I don't know what the previous version were like. Typical Sony NEX style menus slow down handling. Shutter not as loud as people say. I guess nobody remembers film slrs. Sounds like a muted thunk or double thunk. The only Sony FE lens I have is the 24-70 F4, bunch of E lenses, adapters to everything. Before the 24-70 lens arrived, I tried all existing lenses- pretty useless and slow to focus. Plus, the 36MP unfiltered sensor is extremely unforgiving. Read that again: "the 36MP unfiltered sensor is extremely unforgiving." My Canon EOS to E autofocus adapter is amazing, but very slow and unreliable for pro use. Also, none of my Canon primes nor zooms focus speed comes close to a native FE lens. Not even close- don't do it. Yes, you can manually focus all of them...if you have time. It just doesn't feel good as you are using the newer tech. The color signature for the adapted lenses is a lot cooler than I remember on my Canon or Nikon gear. With the FE 24-70 F4, the focus is fast, faster than my Fuji XE-1 and just as snappy as my old Sony NEX 5n. I don't see why people complain about it. Startup is also quick. Image review is a little slow. Plus there is no built in flash for daytime fill. The detail level of this sensor is incredible, easily besting any normal sensor with AA filter. You can crop easily. You may never need this much data. The only thing that bothers me is that we have returned to the slr weight and size. My old Canon T2i is almost the same size, but it is not full frame. I worry about dings and dents because it is rather heavy, coming from the NEX series. It only makes a 24mp NEX style camera even more a perfect compromise. I will make some large prints and report back. Mini Update: F4 in full frame has more shallow DOF than any crop sensor lense. So, after returning to full frame (from film and my old 5D), what I need to relearn: Need higher shutter speeds to avoid shake, DOF is very shallow, landscapes/small aperatures/low ISO need tripods, high ISO is available but looks horrible in poor light, the camera + lense has gotten quite heavy, no small fill flash for shadows, and more. Removing the baffle on Sony E lenses is easy. But they all have serious vignetting, except the Sigma 19 and 30. On initial inspection, using the full frame with 1.5 clearimage zoom with all APS-C designed lenses is better than APS-C crop mode. You still get the 1.5x lens factor, but maybe more megapixels of real no AA filtered data. Extrapolated crop mode images don't look as good as Clearimage 1.5x images. I think Sony purposely degraded APS-C lenses to force you to buy full frame lenses- I don't blame them. Most of the APS-C lenses have much lower resolution. The Sony E 50mm 1.8, Sigma 30 2.8, and Sigma 19mm all have nice crispness to their images. The others do not. I will try the 55-210. If the images with Clearimage at 1.5x look better than the APS-C mode, then I have a complete lens set for the A7r without having to spend anything. All that said, the 2.8 lenses, 30 and 19 have limited appeal because they are neither that fast, nor have great bokeh nor cover an important range like the 50 1.8 (85ish for portraits) or for telephoto use. More to come...the A7r is like the jack of all cameras with the sensor being the focal point. ... show more

  • Best digital camera I have owned yet!!!, (next to my Pentax 645D)
Color: Black
If it is digital, I have probably used it. I began with a Sony CD Mavica MVC-CD200 2.1 Megapixel camera. Yeah, that was about 13 years ago. Since then, I have gone from the Olympus C-8080 to a Canon 20d to 30d to Nikon D2x to a Canon 5D II, III, Leica M9-P, Pentax 645D, and now finally at the a7R. There was some dabbling in between with 6x7 film, 4x5 film, 35mm film, but I always ended up back at digital due to the convenience. (I live 2 hours from the closest film processing option.) On a side note, I do hope film never dies, as I can see myself maybe going back to a 4x5 along with my current digital lineup. That being said, I am stunned by the quality of the files coming out of this sensor. I usually do not look at a camera anymore unless it is at least FF/MF and has no anti-aliasing filter. Ergo the Sony immediately caught my attention with its compactness and sensor features. I am primarily a landscape photographer, and I cannot put this thing down! I daresay I have had thoughts about selling the 645D due to its new potential as a costly paperweight, however I don't think I'm quite there yet. The sharpness is stunning when used with the Sony FE 55mm f/1.8 and the 24-70 is excellent as well. Sharpness rivals that of my M9-P and is as sharp if not sharper than my 645D. That being said, if I had to break this review down to my MOST favorite feature, I'd certainly have to go with DYNAMIC RANGE. This camera picks up so much micro-detail in photos AND the latitude you get in post is one of those things that cannot be described, only seen. Being a landscape photographer, I was always about multiple exposures in order to be able to combine the most amount of information into a photo in post-production. I am NOT one of those HDR fanatics who make images look like they were put out by Lisa Frank (don't ask me how I came up with that reference.) With the dynamic range of this camera, I can take one properly exposed image and get that HDR look I want with sliders in Lightroom instead of HDR Efex Pro II. Don't get me wrong, those plug-ins still serve a purpose. What I am telling you is I have yet to use it since buying the a7R. I do recall there being a lot of critique with regard to shutter vibration. I know a lot of heavy-hitting review/photography sites that explored this issue in LENGTH, with the forum comment pages stretching to the moon. Subsequent conclusions were drawn up to the effect of each side of the argument: It shakes. It doesn't shake. You WILL find evidence to support each viewpoint. Sheesh, I read so much on the issue that I even started to believe it myself after making this large purchase. But, I had to remind myself that this is simply a high resolution, FF sensor with no in-body stabilization. Basically, it is a film camera. Old rules apply here. To be cautious, I always use f 1/2x focal length AT LEAST on all my shots. If I'm on a tripod, I don't care what I use...I have used this camera both on and off a tripod, and I have only seen blurred images when I did not follow my own rule. I have not seen blurred images on a tripod yet unless my focus was off. When it comes to big sensors, focus MUST be precise as well. Spend time focusing a 4x5 wide open and you'll have a good idea about what precision is. For reference, I see the same blurring issue in my 645D when using slower shutter speeds while hand-holding the camera. This issue was not invented by Sony, but by photography. I will touch upon ISO a little here as I have hitherto had little experience with the a7R at high settings. I did take some photos recently of hotel rooms while testing out this baby without flash just to see what they looked like at 6400...the noise in the photos looked more like monochrome grain, and not that toxic pink blue red artifact-happy manure I am so used to in images taken with cameras that came out in 2009-2011. That helped in maintaining a very decent level of detail that is most certainly usable in professional applications, as well as being easier to eradicate. I guess I wouldn't be honest if I did not touch upon some of the things I wish were changed in the a7R. First, flash sync speed. I think 1/160 is a little slow for 2014. Second, I wish Sony had done more for weatherproofing. Coming from the 645D, I will have to be less brave with this one. While I always insure each individual camera, I'd rather not have to suffer a premiums increase because I put in a claim. Lastly, the button layout is the least "function-oriented" layout I have seen on a camera...but maybe that's to be expected with modern-day cameras. Oh, one more thing, I HATE having a green "auto" option on the top dial...makes the camera feel less professional, even though this is not the case. ... show more
