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. The α7R converts images for optimized 4K image size playback (8MP). Enjoy expressive rich colors and amazing detail like never before.

  • Nothing short of stellar
I have been shooting this little guy nearly every day for a year now and know it inside and out. I'm a working, full time photographer and I shoot Sony. There - I said it. My Nikons and Canons sit in the studio and make excellent gifts for my kids, my nieces and nephews when birthdays or holidays sneak up on me. I am SO pleased with this little body I don't even know where to start. The resolution and low light capability are nothing short of amazing. Paired with a Zeiss 55 FE1.8, there is NOTHING out there - at any price - that will challenge the resolution and separation this little set up will produce; in a wide range of conditions, even at twice the bulk and weight. I have dozens of exceptional lenses and around 10 bodies left, and by FAR - the A7r with the Zeiss are my bread and butter - day in, day out. It is not a forgiving rig - make no mistake - it will amplify any and all errors on your part, so be prepared to revisit your basic skill practice. It is SO sharp that any technique weakness you have WILL be apparent. I spent the first day setting the customizable button settings and haven't touched the mode dial since - it's on M and will stay there for ANOTHER 100k exposures. The EVF is phenomenal and compared with just the last generation, is largely lag free. I primarily do portraits and environmental editorial work and for my niche, it absolutely ROCKS. The EF focus is a portrait artist's dream feature and it works under most conditions once you learn how to use it. There is a learning curve for this body, but the results are so spectacular it's a non-issue. Landscapes are right at the peak of this little guy's power curve and in capable hands, you will HAVE to go to medium format to overtake it. Resolution and sharpness (with the right glass of course) is stunning, colors are absolutely perfect and I have found no weakness in any use where a tripod is a viable option - NONE. The stories of a loud shutter are grossly overstated. The myths of shutter shake are complete BS. Any image that comes out with anything less than breathtaking sharpness and resolution is due to operator error - period. Sports? Not my first choice. Fast action? Probably not. Uber long lenses and wildlife? Maybe but the tiny body hanging off a 400mm f2.8 is disconcerting, visually as well as tactically. Huge glass needs a hefty body for balance and the A7r just doesn't have it, and while the shutter isn't a lot louder than any other FF dslr, the lack of a first curtain or silent mode makes other options better for skitterish critters. Pros for me: Size and weight are ideal. Solid but not heavy or bulky. INFINITE glass possibilities. All my old Minoltas, Voightlanders, Leicas, Zeiss, and (now) repurposed Canon and Nikon FF glass produce BETTER results on the A7r than they ever did on their native bodies. A (finally) standard hot shoe means lighting possibilities are VASTLY improved over previous Sony offerings. Strobes, speed lights and bare bulb - old or new - they're all usable again - YAY EVF is astonishing. WYSIWYG and it really is WYG Focus peaking makes focus stacking SO easy, even a caveman like me can do it. Tethered use - via lightroom or Capture one - sorely absent in previous Sony models. Wireless triggers (ramp, bulb, interval and time lapse in addition to a zillion different triggering methods like light, vibration, sound, facial recognition, etc) open up some amazing possibilities. While not silent, it is small and unobtrusive for street use - not at all intimidating and it can actually be carried all day without a chiropractor on call. (And there are some truly phenomenal 20-40mm pancakes out there that SHINE on this body) Good 3rd party batteries are cheap and perform well, and they're small - easily fit 3+ in a pocket. Assign almost any button to the functions YOU use most - and there are PLENTY of buttons. Highly customizable as far as your presets and ranges - if you know what you normally use and have some time under your belt, you rarely need to go into the menus. Eye Focus - a life saver for super fast glass in a portrait setting - and YES - it really works ;) If I do my part, this little body delivers STUNNING images consistently. With the dedicated lenses, no switching to fine tune (with auto zoom!) focus manually - and with peaking, precise control is easy Cons for me Limited multiple exposure capability (but I'm hoping for a firmware update to address it beyond the 2 exposure current limit) CD focus only unless using the Sony adapter with PD (which works well most of the time but it's noisy as hell and feels like something might break) Useless for IR - the filter is ridiculously effective - I'll have one converted when I can swing a second A7r body) Battery life. Around 300 images with EVF and LCD in use and radio trigger on top (but I carry several batteries at all times, so not a game breaker - and swap out is a 10 second deal). Movie button is poorly placed (I have it shut off so it only works if mode dial is set to movie though - so again not a big problem) On a speed plate, the LCD is hard to swing out ... and speaking of LCD - I miss the fully articulated screen on the A77 at times like overhead or ground level shots and especially for verticals In a nutshell, for my work, it isn't perfect but it's pretty darn close. It's paid for itself many times over just in the last several months, and has never missed a beat. If and when it dies, I'll gladly buy another. This is NOT a camera for beginners in any sense. Less than flawless technique is mercilessly punished and glaringly obvious. That having been said, with the right glass, when you get it right, the results are TRULY breathtaking. After ~30 years, 4 of my best 10 images have been made with this body in the last year and I have no reason to believe it's going to let up any time soon. 10/10 if it fits your shooting style and intended use. ... show more

  • Best digital camera I have owned yet!!!, (next to my Pentax 645D)
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
