Bulky and more expensive studio cameras

The editors didn't like
Slow performance and svelte camera build may fail to impress
Disappointing autofocus speed and battery life mar an otherwise lovely camera
Expensive. Loud shutter. Focus and burst shooting are slower than Alpha 7. Some color-shift issues with third-party wide-angle rangefinder lenses. No PC sync socket. No built-in flash. External battery charger not included. Native lens library is in its i
Extreme resolution makes focus and lens quality critical
Modest performance
Loud shutter
Lacks hybrid autofocus of the A7
Mediocre battery life when using electronic viewfinder
Slow Xsync
Limited selection of native Sony FE lenses
Autofocus can be slow in low light
Auto ISO tends to keep shutter speed at 1/FL sec
Often resulting in soft images
Highres sensor requires dedicated approach to shooting
JPEG quality not as good as we'd like to see (less relevant for this camera's mar
Leisurely AF in all conditions. AF lacks confidence in low light
No built-in stabilisation. Needs optically stabilized lenses
Limited selection of native lenses at launch
Continuous bursts limited to 4fps and 15-25 frames
Screen not touch-sensitive and doesn't fully articulate
Fairly basic bracketing and no timelapse built-in
Unforgiving resolution demands very careful handling
Host of customizable options for buttons and menus, Incredible image quality from 36MP sensor without OLPF, Focus peaking makes manual focus easy, Quick saving of large files to memory
Plain looks, Average battery life, Battery charger not included in box, Only two native lenses at launch, only one is available for the A7R
I was skeptical that it could be done, but the a7R outperformed all my expectations. The image quality is superb, with ISO performance astonishingly good. In fact, it's so good that DxoMark's review is asking if it's “the highest ever full-frame image qua...

The Sony A7R is such a game-changer that I've written a way too long conclusion to try and explain its place in the world. In a single long sentence; image quality is mind-blowingly good, handling is way better than expected, battery life is okay, camera...
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: Con un precio de 2.099 €, l a Sony A7R es increíblemente pequeña y fina. En solo 407 g, Sony ha logrado incluir un sensor de fotograma completo y unos muy respetables 36,4 MP. Con esta cifra iguala a la Nikon D810, a la que supera en cuanto a sensibilidad...
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...
Netteté de l'image incroyable, Compatibilité d'objectifs EMount, Ergonomie et conception de l'appareil, Fonctions de focus manuel, Format compact de l'appareil, Prix compétitif
Autofocus un peu lent, Petit nombre d'images/seconde, Autonomie insuffisante
Le Sony a7R n'est pas un appareil parfait, mais après avoir passé plusieurs semaines avec, je dois dire que je peux très facilement outrepasser ces quelques petits défauts. Après avoir testé le Canon 70D , la vitesse de l'auto-focus n'est pas aussi rapi...
Abstract: Cela fait des années que Sony affiche ses ambitions dans le monde de la photographie numérique. Le fabricant nippon a en effet tour à tour racheté Konica-Minolta, le seul concurrent sérieux aux deux poids lourds que sont Canon et Nikon, et une partie du f...

Pour l'heure limitée par le peu d'optiques disponibles - 3 ! - la nouvelle génération d'hybrides à capteur plein format de Sony montre clairement un potentiel énorme. Modèle haut de gamme avec son capteur de 36 (!) Mpix, l'Alpha 7R offre une vraie claque...

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...
