Opinion:At the time I came in order from the Olympus Em5 and the Em1 but, I wanted to try anyway how Sony was trying to fit into the world of mirrorless. It was love at first sight but like so many lightning strikes, it immediately ended. The machine had an extreme operational slowness, from ignition to awakening from the stanby... a torture since my mirrorless background was lightning compared to her. Unfortunately, being Sony's first mirrorless, it was still an immature product; battery that was consumed only to look at the status icon on the display, the attack of the lenses that had a minimum of play but that gave a huge annoyance (also confirmed by other specimens seen in the store) and the handling at least for me not at the top. I remember that I tried it with the kit lens, the 28/70 which was decent only in good light conditions but when the contrast was poor, they were pains. On the other hand, I liked the viewfinder a lot, beautiful and sharp as well as the files that the machine churned out. Maybe I didn't have enough patience with the A7 and after a bloodbath, I sold it back shortly after returning to my beloved m4/3.
Pros:Raw image quality, size, optical pull and possibility to use numerous vintage optics, viewfinder and screen, second-hand price of about 400 euros for devices in excellent condition
Cons:Jpeg image quality, battery life
Opinion:The biggest disappointment of the a7 (purchased a few months ago used) is the poor quality of JPEG files. Despite being a high-end full frame camera that uses the same sensor as the Nikon D600/D610, the photos of the a7 suffer from many of the same problems as Sony's compact cameras (I confirm that my A5000 has the same problems) that are posterization and clumsy algorithms of sharpness and noise reduction. To get the best results, you need to shoot on Raw. Comparing my nikon D700's Jpeg files highlights an unsuccessful attempt by Sony, they have yet to learn how to produce serious on-camera processing. Recommended only for those who think about using RAW.
Cons:Non-excellent build quality, battery life, AF
Opinion:I bought the kit car at a good price with the 28-70. I immediately appreciated its size. I don't have small hands but it's still great to handle it knowing that there is a FF sensor inside. Sensor churning out beautiful images. For the price at which it is located it was fine. On the other hand, the downsides should point towards another machine. And in fact, I resold it after about three weeks. Battery life is far-fetchedly tragic. I understand that only the electronic viewfinder can consume a lot but I would say that we are indecent. Construction is not the best. You feel like you have a little toy on your hands. Perhaps also because of the derisory weight (Pro). Autofocus does what it likes both in very bad light conditions and in optimal light conditions. If you want to work, you work. But some days it's dazzled and you won't get anything. I am much more reliable with manual MAF as well as faster. All also with the optics in the kit. Overall to be recommended to those who want to enter the FF world without expecting characteristics from "Grande".
Opinion:Premise... I wanted to go from a professional APSC like a Canon 7D to a full frame that I thought was worth the ride.... luck was receiving the A7 before giving away as a trade-in the canon.... I immediately returned to my steps... As soon as you take it in your hand you realize it's not a professional car, but something to take around on a trip, or out of town.. very limited optical park.... And use that little bit that is at really prohibitive prices.... I honestly advise against it from every point of view (photographic, I do not make videos) even at 200€ I would not take it ...
Pros:Lightness, small size, ergonomics, battery life, full frame, price
Cons:Nothing
Opinion:I bought it at a good price some time ago, it never gave me any problems and it has always been up to the task. Easy to use, unlike many I disagree with the criticisms on the menu, I found it simple and with many possible items and customizations. Customization is its main merit, in addition to the numerous screens you can customize all the buttons on the machine body, the most useful screen is in my opinion the quick ships pro, it turned out to be really irreplaceable in the most dynamic situations. The 5fps burst for many can be a limit but not doing sports photography on a daily basis is not a problem. The battery life amazed me, always at odds with the other reviews, I managed to get about 500 shots with 60% residual battery intensively using most of the available features and almost always the viewfinder. Viewfinder with average resolution, good even in low light conditions. Really very malleable files. Noise at high sensitivities is great up to 6400 iso, always shooting in raw and not in jpg is not a problem even up to 12800 from which I apply a noise reduction. Excellent dynamic range and recoveries of shadows or high lights under exposing or overexposing, fantastic customization with numerous slots available to customize white balance and all other parameters such as dominant, saturation and sharpness. The shot is not very noisy and therefore can also be used in events without attracting too much attention. On the video department I do not make judgments, not being a fan of videos was not used. Without a doubt a very versatile, reliable machine, to those interested I recommend the purchase given the price now on the same level as the entry-level SLRs.
