  • Excellente gestion du bruit électronique, Belle qualité d'image avec de bonnes optiques, Personnalisation poussée du boîtier, Mode vidéo complet, Écran LCD inclinable, Connexion Wi-Fi, Autofocus de bon aloi, Mode vidéo complet et performant, Viseur électr
  • Autonomie de la batterie un peu juste, Kit 28-70 mm f/3,5-5,6 un peu décevant, Livré sans chargeur de batterie externe, Pas d'écran tactile, Pas de flash intégré
  • L'A7 est-il plus intéressant que l'A7R ? Pas facile de répondre à cette question. Plus rapide à mettre en route et doté d'un autofocus très légèrement plus réactif, l'A7 présente l'avantage d'être moins exigeant pour les optiques et la configuration matér...

  • Abstract:  Le plein format restait réservé aux réflex numériques les plus haut de gamme - les plus gros, les plus chers -. Plus maintenant. Un nouveau genre d'appareil, léger mais pourtant capable de produire des images de la meilleure des qualités sans être un appa...

  • Sensore full frame, Fotocamera full frame più economica sul mercato, Miglior qualità d'immagine per sistemi mirrorless, Performance ISO sorprendenti, Moltitudine di adattatori per ogni sistema utilizzato, Ergonomia molto buono e comandi comodi, Corpo trop
  • Sistema non molto meno ingombrante rispetto ad una DSLR, Parco lenti molto limitato, Obiettivi pesanti e costosi, Autofocus non sempre affidabile, Bilanciameno del bianco automatico insoddisfacente, Mancanza di un carica batterie dedicato, Recensione Sony
  • Come ribadito all'inizio di questa recensione, la Sony A7 è al momento la fotocamera full frame più economica in assoluto: si può trovare in vendita su Amazon a 1250 euro circa con l'obiettivo kit20-70mm FE f/3.5-5.6 e rappresenta ad oggi il prezzo più ba...

  • Velocità AF, Compattezza e maneggevolezza, Duttilità con accessori e adattatori
  • Batteria un po' piccola, AF ibrido si disattiva appena c'è poca luce, Poche ottiche FE disponibili
  • La A7 è destinata a due tipi di fotografo diversi. Da una parte la vediamo compagna ideale per chi finora ha avuto già reflex di medio e basso livello, cercava un prodotto più serio ed è disposto a tentare il passo lungo verso il formato pieno con una mac...

  • Niente crop, con il full frame i grandangoli sono reali. Eccelle nella fotografia outdoor e naturalistica. Gamma ISO con ben 28 stop. È facile ottenere sfondi sfocati che valorizzano i primi piani
  • Non ha flash né touchscreen. Non ha lo stabilizzatore sul corpo macchina. Al momento poche ottiche native disponibili. Batteria non all'altezza di una pro. Poche funzioni da smartphone

  • Sviluppo JPG oncamera scadente,  Sensore di prossimità non disattivabile e troppo "sensibile" all'attivazione del mirino,  Autofocus non sempre preciso e a volte lento,  Pulsante di registrazione video troppo defilato,  AF Tracking quasi inutile,  Autonom
  • Il lavoro di Sony su innovazione ed ingegnerizzazione è particolarmente lodevole. Senza mezzi termini si tratta dell'azienda che in questi ultimi anni sta rischiando di più nel campo fotografico, anche se forse con risultati non sempre soddisfacenti. Pri...

  • Bildschärfe und Rauschen, Flüssiger Sucher, Scharfes Klapp-Display, Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis
  • A-Objektive nur per Adapter, Autofokus bei Schwachlicht, Blitz im Body fehlt
  • Die Sony a7 (Alpha 7) überzeugt uns bei der Bildqualität - kein Wunder, nutzt sie doch einen besonders großen Vollformat-Sensor. Sowohl Verarbeitung als auch Ausstattung liegen auf hohem Niveau. Allerdings reagiert der Autofokus bei wenig Licht zu träge...
