Small size, incredible low ISO full-frame image quality, excellent viewfinder quality, tilt-angle LCD, button customisation. focus peaking for accurate manual focus adjust
Poor battery life, some autofocus inaccuracy - and less capable than the more budget A7, full FE lens system yet to materialise, high ISO quality not class-leading
To some the A7R's presence may baffle. A pricier and, in part, less featured A7 - what's the point? Well, our friends, this specialist kit is all about superior image quality. And it's here that the Alpha A7R really stands out. At low ISO settings...
Full-frame sensor in compact body, Superb stills and videos, Excellent OLED EVF, Good quality even at high ISOs
No built-in flash, Slow burst mode, Battery could be stronger, Makes louder noises than A7
If you can afford – or find – either of these cameras, buy one. Year 2013 isn't over yet but the Sony Alpha A7 and A7R are prime candidates for DT's Cameras of The Year award. In fact, barring the release of a spectacular model from the majors in Decemb...

Battery life is way too low (240 photos), No standalone battery charger (USB cable only), Slow to start up (3 seconds), Big file sizes can prove challenging for some computers when editing, No touchscreen, No builtin flash, No way of entering the focal le
The Sony Alpha 7R is an impeccably good camera that's not far from flawless. Picture quality is exceptionally good, the controls and lightweight build ensure first-rate handling, and the autofocus is fast in spite of the fact that it only uses a contrast-...

Abstract: Not content with launching one full-frame compact system camera, Sony has gone and launched two. The Sony Alpha A7R joins the A7 model, but offers a significant push in resolution. That sensor houses 36 million pixels. Wowzers. But that's not all, the "R...
High resolution sensor, No AA filter, Full frame, Inbuilt Wi, Fi
No touchscreen
Both the Sony A7 and the A7R are fantastic innovations. But for now, the system isn't quite complete enough. Although image quality is fantastic, it feels as if there are a few kinks that need to be ironed out, most importantly improved battery life, and...

Large megapixel count, Rugged weather sealed body, Very compact for a full frame, Second cheapest full frame camera
Slow burst rate of just 4fps, Uses only contrast AF, making it slower than the competition
The Sony A7R is the next step in the mirrorless evolution. Consider it to be like the Nikon D800E in a far more compact body, with a much lower price tag. It isn't a fast camera by any means with a maximum burst rate just 4 fps, but then again, this isn't...

Abstract: The full-frame camera has been synonymous with the most high-end DSLRs-the biggest, the priciest. Not anymore. A new breed of camera that's light on its feet but packs the best image quality outside of pro-grade gear is here, and it starts with Sony's new...

We love this camera and were less than keen on giving it back to Sony after our two-week review period. It's compact and lightweight but delivers results that outstrip pretty much any other compact system camera on the market.The downside is that that abi...
