  • Abstract:  As video cameras go, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 and Sony Alpha 7S are very DSLR-like in shape. A four-fold difference in sensor size, and a significant gulf in price suggests this may be the only similarity. However, in terms of intent, they're not as di...

  • Great high ISO ability for sports, street, and photojournalism, Autofocus improvements are really nice,
  • Needs some improvements to the ergonomics, Weather sealing, I wish they went with a 16MP sensor for more details in the still images

  • You can't find full-frame video of this quality for this price anywhere else. And you can't find better low light performance, period. It all comes down to those two, very powerful, facts. With an external recorder shooting 4K, the quality will be even be
  • For stills, 12 megapixels is going to turn off many shooters. The camera was clearly not designed for video, and some poor ergonomics and control layout decisions speak to that. Native lenses provide limited options at launch. Battery life is poor. Sony j
  • If you are a video shooter looking for something that is better than Canon full-frame video quality at comparable price, you should absolutely consider the Sony A7s. Not only is the footage nicer, but it is future-proof if youre willing to invest in an e...

  • The Sony Alpha 7S full-frame mirrorless camera offers incredible performance in low light, but you'll need an external recorder to take advantage of its 4K video support....

  • High ISO noise performance; Great dynamic range
  • Low resolution might not be for all; 4k option requires offcamera recording
  • Usually you would expect a camera with such a high sensitivity range to be the preserve of professional sports or wildlife photographers, or photojournalists, but since the AF speed or shooting rate is not quite fast enough for serious sports or wildlife ...

  • If low-light shooting is your thing, then the Sony A7S should be right at the top of your shopping list. Offering a killer combination of massive ISO range, 15-stop dynamic range, sensible 12 megapixel resolution on a full-frame sensor, truly silent shoo...

  • Sony's A7 and A7R models have not unexpectedly generated a lot of interest with enthusiasts, and the new addition to the range looks equally intriguing, if perhaps for different reasons.While it's true the short register and low pixel density makes this m...
