To my Background: I have been 3 1/2 years art student majoring in photography. I come from a Alpha 55 and Alpha 7 have the shot now has less than a week and already about 1000 photos in different situations, so that I now allow to be able to submit a review.
It has been said a lot in existing reviews, so I take only points on which I consider especially noteworthy for again.
The operating speed of the camera surprised me very positively! You feel full power in his hands and you never get the impression that it is somehow too slow. The scarce 5 fps in continuous shooting I think is appropriate and so you can absolutely work. we must not forget that we are talking about full-frame. Of course, this frame rate is for high-end sports photographer too little, but that is not the target group of this camera.
In the image quality I need not go into extra again, because this is simply outstanding.
Topic Battery: I honestly can not understand why some people rumheulen here because the battery ... I had to more than 300 images (in fine) for about 50% battery power. I do not know what makes you wrong.
Also brilliant is the individual adjustment possibility of all wheel, as the Custom button. So everyone has their most valued and used functions can lie directly wherever he wants to have quick access to this.
Sensitivity: Outstanding what you get with ISO 3200 for low-noise images even! Moreover, it is then indeed getting worse, but really useless are the images I think until 6400 ISO. Even though I have only made photos with the kit lens. The desire for more ISO will dissolve quickly with a proper f-number on the lens in air.
Short word for kit lens: Not outstanding, but for the price really fully in order and not as bad as most of it showing!
Feel of the Bodies: Really very well done and very tacky feel and excellent Wettig! Designed for continuous use!
Digital Viewfinder: Who broke because even an optical viewfinder ?! : D The digital viewfinder with a resolution of rich 2,3MP is incredibly nice and sharp! For this you get here additional functions displayed and a (when all the parameters taken into account) almost 1: 1 picture of how the photo will be, which is with an optical viewfinder is not the case, as light amplification in the dark. I personally like the viewfinder even better than the screen on the back.
That the alpha 7 by her Mirrorless design receives a small and lightweight form, and thus the very important factor for me mobility optimizes strong, I do not need extra again mention;) Absolutely innovative and trendsetting!
I can highly recommend the camera really and who still has doubts will be completely convinced at the latest at the first use of this camera!
This camera will display that digital SLRs NUN thing of the past!
