Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The electronic viewfinder is a great feature. I like that the viewfinder stays bright when you stop the lens down. The layout and interface of the a7 seems to be optimized for the use of matrix metering.

The operation and use of the camera is amazing. This is a minor nitpick but sony seems to have included dlc for their a-series cameras. You will not be disappointed in this camera. And lastly, this is a great camera.

The portability is excellent, as is the construction and control layout. Most impressive is its lightness and compact size for a camera that's packed with advanced features. I won't even go into all the technical amazing-ness this thing has - if you'r... Read More

Cons

Autofocus is terrible. Limited options for shutter control in bulb mode. Not as bright and punchy as the d600 - which shares a similar 24mp full frame sensor. Iq not any better than lesser cameras.

The grip is tiny and it permanently damaged my wrist. Plugged it in to the computer, same thing.

Quality

I'm very satisfied with the overall performance.

Image quality is superb as usual and it all depends on the lens you use with it.

Another frustration i have with the camera is the inability to move the spot-metering area with the focus point.

The kit lens: the lens that comes with the camera has atrocious corner sharpness, especially wide open at the 28 mm end of the zoom range.

Price

In all form,functional and price terms, i consider this to be a specimen of as well as a monument to human ingenuity.

After looking at many sample images, reviews, and tests of the sony a7 series, the pentax k-1, and nikon and canon full-frame c... Read More

At this price, i don't see why people are still shooting crop sensor cameras.

Shipping

The camera performs well in low light and is fast enough for basic sports photography.

Packaging/appearance

Packaging was great, exactly what i was expecting!

The only thing i found myself missing from the a6300 was the viewfinder.

Competitiveness

There are some quirks that later models don't have (such as the method of moving the auto focus point around) but overall this ... Read More

Purchased this after using an a6000 (also great) for almost two years.

I will be upgrading to an a7r ii, but mainly for 4k and stabilization.

I won't even go into all the technical amazing-ness this thing has - if you're seriously interested, then i highly suggest read... Read More
