Pros:Lightweight, small, now old-style sensor also in terms of overall performance
Cons:High ISO noise, rather delicate LCD monitor
Opinion:I tried my first sony taking an A7R with 120,000 shots on my shoulders; I wanted to put the old Nikon manual lenses back into operation with a light and properly built body. I did not find any flaw on the point of build quality except that the LCD monitor tends to become opaque over time. As far as the photographic performance is concerned, the 36 Mpx sensor (which should be very similar to that of the Nikon D800) I find that it works well with these lenses, except for a presence of noise that can be felt practically immediately (I would say from 400 ISO upwards) but not excessively invasive. the most important thing for me is that the camera body (like the other A7 first series) is really small and light and (at my age) I think it is a "unicum" wanting to carry three lenses (e.g. 20/35/105 AIS) with a total weight under 1.5kg ...; in short, an experience that I recommend to those who do not use AF and are looking for simplicity and lightness combined with a respectable quality (see some shots in my latest galleries) ...
Pros:Detail, versatility, minimum footprint, perfect files with zero light
Cons:Very delicate machine, electronic system still in its in its inscesay
Opinion:It was my first Sony. A bomb . I took pictures with zero light in basements and really difficult situations: it never disappointed me. Perfect files, an incredible yield. I left it because unfortunately it was very delicate and the electronic system was extremely unstable. In any case I put it under pressure in situations complex climates and temperatures. I still miss it .
Pros:Extraordinary sensor, used price, dynamic range
Cons:Now dated system, autofocus, iso seal, battery life
Opinion:What to say, I owned it for about a year and it always rapped me great shots, unfortunately but over time I found it more against than pro. Let's start from the fact that it is one of the first mirrorless, therefore a system still "unripe" in some respects especially with regard to the really poor autofocus and the iso seal also poor. The battery doesn't last long, but it's a problem sony has only chosen to address in recent years. Ergonomics is not the best, in my hands the grip is a little small.... The nice thing is that today it is also located at 600 euros or so which is definitely a great price for a 36mp fullframe The sensor is really a lot of stuff, I think it is the same as the D810, it has an excellent dynamic range, in my opinion the top for landscape photography If you can also combine third-party optics via adapters (without demanding anything from autofocus) Super recommended for those who want a great sensor or need croppare or print images while maintaining excellent quality........
Pros:Excellent image quality, price of used, decent body quality.
Cons:Delicate paint, battery ergonomics snap noise, buffer, AF, tethering without preview (with C1), important shutter vibrations
Opinion:Used in a photo architecture and interior session. So given the cost, I would say that currently with about 500-600 euros you take home a camera with a good 36 mp FF sensor, with all the limitations of the time, but I would say that for static/landscape photo and generic use on easel is really great. The quality of the native colors does not excite me, especially the rendering of reds, but the files are very workable and with little effort, it is to find a right lut for our case. The noise of the shot is really impressive and embarrassing, the viewfinder is dated , the camera is slow throughout AF buffer that to save a raw file with pose of 30 sec it takes even over 20 sec , which say everything surmountable, given the potential of a 36 Mp sensor that returns abundant details to make even large prints. The sony optics are expensive, the good ones, better in my opinion go on third-party optics, obviously from case to case, not being Sony user however I feel to recommend it for those who have to do special work, I used the camera for about 3 hours in a row.
Cons:System still immature, innovative for the time but today immature
Opinion:If the lens is to have a FF bigpixel spending little, and using it only for landscapes or still life, without therefore the need for an AF sniper, is still fine, indeed, for the quotation of the used, I would say it is almost a musthave. But if you need some AF (portraiture or vaguely some sport in motion), the machine looks blind. To be used well aware of its limitations in this field. If you intend to use it with vintage lenses, beware of surrender, the 36mpx do not forgive! Improved grip in the second series, needed improvement!
