Pros: Size,weight,sharpness

Cons: Everything else....

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.

Pros: FF, COMPATTA , USED COST , FILE QUALITY

Cons: AF SLOW , RESA ISO

Opinion: I have this machine now for a year I can only be happy , it is very compact and the rendering of the files it produces is very good. It goes well with manual optics, the battery life is not the best, but just bring some spare battery and that's it. The cost in the used is ridiculous , it is a must now to enter the format ff. The only flaw the high iso yield above 3200 iso begins to be heard a little noise , overall it is an honest machine I can only recommend.

Pros: Quality, FF, excellent functions, brilliant sensor.

Cons: Battery life, set targets not vast.

Opinion: Given that despite owning an FF reflex (D750 Nikon) for reasons of practicality and weight I found on many occasions winning the mirrorless that I own, but this despite being a little bigger than the others manages from the first days to donate gorgeous shots. The lens provided (28/70) is discreet, neither bad nor good, and in everyday practicality it is nice even if the use of the classic 50 Sony 1.8 prefers it. The menu is complete and intuitive.

Pros: Exceptional sensor, produces both RAW and JPG files of the highest quality; compact size, light and extremely handy even for those with large hands; spectacular manual focus (focus peack); excellent software, able to give adequate answers to every situation (the menu is very complete, without being exaggeratedly complex); Excellent buttons and auxiliary wheels, widely customizable....

Cons: SLOW AF; sensor that gets dirty with great ease; battery life; very loud shot (but with a nice sound!) ...

Opinion: It is my first FF and I must say that it has fully met my needs as a photoamateur: the quality of the files is exceptional, especially in good light conditions and good is the "hold" to noise up to 6400 ISO. The dynamic range and quality of colors are excellent. In light of the purchase price - new to just over 700 euros - it certainly constitutes an excellent product, especially when used, by virtue of its lightness, as a travel camera. In my case, after trying several goals, I found myself very well with the Zeiss 24-70 mm f/4, whose excellent stabilization compensates for the one absent in the machine body, of which I do not meet all the defects that are attributed to it, instead appreciating the lightness, sharpness and overall image quality, in the face of little criticality... and at an attractive price! In summary, the a7 has a compact and sufficiently robust body, with a decent tropicalization (I used it in adverse climatic conditions, but did not suffer), the image quality is always excellent; It has a good electronic viewfinder and you appreciate the practicality of a tilting and rather robust display. The auxiliary keys are well made and allow an excellent possibility for customization. Even if it is not a video amateur, I appreciate the quality of the videos produced (in this case, the failure to stabilize the machine body is most affected) and, all in all, the dislocation of the video activation button is not so uncomfortable. Great software and camera features, extremely evolved, as is great the ability to connect, including the fast and practical built-in Wi-Fi. Among the flaws, the main, in my opinion, is the autofocus, sometimes slow and inaccurate not only in poor light conditions, and the rather reduced battery life, which can only be recharged by the camera (but there are excellent third-party products that at a low cost to this problem).) It's a pity that the Sony lens fleet, which with 2019 can finally be said to have been completed, is still quite expensive, while boasting excellent products at a low price (such as the excellent 85 mm f/1.8); Fortunately there are excellent optics of other manufacturers, which, at acceptable cost, fill this deficiency (exceptional the combined with the 14 mm f/2.8 AF of Samyang!). Finally, I find that the menu is not as disastrous as it reads - but perhaps in this I am benefited from the fact that I have used for many years a Sony bridge that, basically, had the same menu as the A7. In conclusion, I can say that who wants a low-cost FF, light and compact, but capable of giving high - very high! - results for portraiture, landscapes, travel, street (but not suitable for naturalistic or sports photography, especially in poor light condition), the A7, still in production, is a great deal!
