The editors didn't like
One of the weakest aspects of the A7 is the battery life. It seems to drain very quickly
Even with the camera sitting idly. Fortunately the batteries are cheap (it uses the same Lithium type as the NEX) and there's always the option of the pricey but use
Poor battery life
28-70mm kit lens not great
Full FE lens system yet to materialise
AF-C not comparable to DSLR
No pinpoint AF can mean questionable accuracy
Limited lens collection
No touchscreen
Limited raw functionality
The battery life is too short and the AF system could be better
Battery life could be better
Sony's 2870 mm f/3.55.6 kit lens is a little disappointing
No separate battery charger supplied (charging via USB cable only)
No builtin flash
No built-in flash
Would love faster burst modes but you can't have everything
Abstract: As advanced cameras get compacted into smaller sizes, people started to doubt if their imaging quality are as good as full size DSLRs or even prosumer cameras. Today, we unbox the Alpha 7 from Sony, which is the company's first full frame mirrorless camer...

Abstract: The Sony Alpha 7 is a camera that has garnered a lot of interest lately and it is clear why. It is arguably one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest, around to house a 35mm full-frame sensor. It's also a handy mirrorless camera system.Getting the largest ...
Abstract: Updated 31/10/13: Added in a sentence on the Sony A7R's ability to shoot up to 4fps with AF locked on the first frame.Sony keeps shaking up the camera world with its latest; the A7 and A7R are - in Sony's words -

Abstract: La A7 incorpora un sensor de fotograma completo, una rareza entre las CSC, y está disponible en tres versiones: A7, A7R y A7S. La A7R ofrece una increíble resolución de 36,4 MP y se ha prescindido del filtro de paso bajo para aprovechar al máximo su capac...
Compacta y Liviana, Buena calidad en ISO alta, Compatibilidad con lentes de otras monturas (Necesita accesorio), Conectividad por WIFI y NFC, 3 Botones Configurables, Posibilidad de escalar el video a 4K
Enfoque impreciso en baja luz, Cargador directamente a la cámara, Dificultosa navegación por menus
Abstract: Sony no se ha andado con pequeñeces a la hora de plantear una alternativa seria y completa a las réflex de formato completo. No lo ha hecho con una Alpha esta vez sino con una cámara como la Sony A7 (y A7R), primera sin espejo que apuesta por el sensor de...

Abstract: El año pasado estuve en el CES 2013 tomando algunas fotos y videos con la Alpha A99, la cámara que en su momento llego a ser el “buque insignia” (el papá de las cámaras) de Sony. Indudablemente era un súper dispositivo que incluía todos los juguetes para...
La calidad de imagen y el nivel de detalle es excepcional. Hasta ahora para conseguir algo parecido era necesario una réflex de gama alta con una lente muy pesada, El peso y tamaño. No es que se pueda meter en el bolsillo, pero es lo suficientemente lige
Por ahora, hay pocas lentes nativas y las que hay son bastante caras. Es necesario un catálogo más variado, La autonomía es escasa cuando se compara con las réflex, aunque aguanta una jornada intensiva si no se abusa de las pantallas, Lo raro, Hace bast

les avantages d'un appareil photo plein format sans l'encombrement (ni le prix), excellente qualité d'image, grand viseur OLED, résistant à la poussière et à l'humidité.
la batterie se charge directement dans l'appareil, l'autofocus un peu lent
Pour un coup d'essai, le Sony Alpha 7 (premier compact à objectifs interchangeable plein format) est une réussite. L'appareil photo hybride offre une excellente qualité d'image avec un prix plutôt "doux". De quoi mettre la photographie plein format ...
Après une quinzaine de jours en compagnie du seul Alpha 7, puis-je imaginer cet hybride 24 x 36 remplacer mon reflex, tous mes objectifs et accessoires, ainsi que mon X100 ? Difficile à dire, et ce pour plusieurs raisons. D'abord je n'ai pas pu tester les...
