Pros: Full Frame, very light, dimensions, construction quality, aesthetically beautiful, price, ergonomics keys and rings
Cons: ridiculous AF speed, unusable low-light AF, battery life, low-light and slow viewfinder, bad image color rendering, terrible white balance, slow start-up, limited and expensive lens kit
Opinion: I state that when I bought the Sony A7 I had never used the mirrorless system before, and I had used a Nikon D7100 for professional purposes, so my direct comparison I do with the Nikon kit. This machine at its launch immediately fascinated me for its new technology, its aesthetic beauty and its small size, so since I would have liked to save weight on my equipment, I bought it. I never made a bigger mistake. The sony A7 is a bad machine from almost all points of view, working in events where speed and responsiveness are needed, many times even indoors and partially in the dark, the Sony A7 manages to lose at least 50% of the moments for the very low speed of focusing and the way it blends in low light conditions indoors. The viewfinder on the outside is not very bright, on the inside it is difficult to follow the movements, with a low refresh rate. After the first tests I could immediately notice that the battery had an insufficient duration even for an amateur, so in addition to buying several extra batteries, in my works I tried to always turn off the machine when I had that minute of pause, but here follows another big negative point, once the machine is turned off, Getting a shot in speed is impossible, because the start time of the machine is long and therefore you lose those 5/7 seconds of scene. This with Nikon has never happened to me, even with the compact practically, on Nikon kit when you press ON the shutter and' already ready immediately to shoot. Another big negative point is that it is impossible to work with Jpeg, the color quality is from another world, it does not completely reflect the original colors of the scene and the white balance does not even know what it is. The image almost always results in a cold and dull tone. This is a negative aspect even on RAW, retrieving a RAW takes longer than expected, because you have to adjust the white balance, the colors one by one and the lights. The only thing I liked about this machine was the aesthetic beauty, the ergonomics of the keys and dials and the lightness. What to say about this camera, I do not recommend it even to an amateur or those who want to approach the world of photography, even if you find it at a ridiculous price. Buy more beware of this machine. |
