Five stars for the image quality

The one thing about a camera's image quality and the right at the Sony A7R up in the higher ISO values. For this they would get from me 5 stars, because it is a different camera can currently hardly better. The ultra-sharp device thirsty but for premium lenses, to also play these strengths can. The 28-70 kit lens of the A7, there are so to A7R well for various reasons not only because it is already in the A7 has its limits. The range of lenses is nearly exclusively and let the low price for the body very quickly forgotten. Since the first 1000 Euro are already on the cheapest standard zoom on the receipt. Of course it is of Zeiss and it does its thing, but at telephoto it will get really steep. The 70-200 2.8 beats even the legendary Nikkor gleichbrennweitige still around 1000 euros and costs almost 3000, but forms no better off. Here one must therefore forward to the 4-recourse that then "only 1,400" costs. The prime lenses have no aperture values, but dollar bills on the scale. (1.8 55-1000 Euro etc.) The latter objective is indeed a quality institution (the best of what there is in my eyes), but many others are just expensive and no better than a 1.4 Nikkor 50 that for 300 Euro's.
This should not detract from the quality Beisspiel the camera and lenses, only one should be aware that the cheap price for the body just in a different way in the end, has its price. If you can live with more size and more weight and ten megapixels less, gets even with Nikon and Canon which offered good, with rich and good quality lens selection in all price segments and end up costing the Sony A7 R equipment even as much as a D800 with lenses. Saving is therefore not popular here.

For Camera

THE GOOD
Processing,
many settings, many buttons freely assignable
Great Picture Quality
high ISO to use values ​​up to 1600 very well, 3200 for the 36MP still good
small, light, yet robust
good monitor, good finder
good focusing options also manually focus Peaking

Middling good
The AF is better than its reputation, but still slow if you are used to an SLR.
For everything moves quickly, absolutely unsuitable for anything at all moves (especially in low light) borderline.
Who does not use the camera for who has no problems and is good to cope with the Sony.

Very limited but high quality and ultra high-priced lens offer

The loud shutter sound is not for the quiet places but underlines impressively the retro character

small selection at flash and accessories
no built-in flash, but where should it go when because the monitor is installed on the viewfinder.

BAD
In this price range and with this claim no !!!! Shaped frame charger adjacent to a nerve and is an absolute NOGO. ("Excuse me, I have my camera there because I recharge my spare battery just in need ..")
I really had thought that the charger was forgotten in my pack and went back into the business. But there is of course only one thing in accessories at Sony for money. Hello Sony: In almost every compact camera from 50 Euro a charger is included!

CONCLUSION

Who is rich and as read here earlier for walking, never goes without full frame out of the house, which is equipped with the Sony because of its good image quality with light weight and small size well served. For all the pictures do not play sports and are looking for the best image quality, this camera is probably the best choice at present.
For someone who is looking for an all-round camera that delivers the best picture quality, a look at the Canon or Nikon storage would be necessary, or you will hire the Alpha 7 which, although has less MP, but a better AF. Sony has done right with the A7R much, but a D800 I would not want to miss, because it is the more rounded camera simply that has everything I need, to up to 800 ISO loose has the same image quality. And the price is at the end also the same. If you look at the images of Sony, then one is inclined to give again their one star more, but it provides easy when eating tellen things too little. the picture quality is the most important criterion for me though, but one has easy to make in some situations, the device is no chance a good image, for example because they simply do not focus pulls.

Update 28/01/2015

Between me and the Sony just wanted to be no fruitful cooperation, so I simply disconnected me from her. Somehow this device is in its applicability limited so useful that you must still have to make sure another camera in tow, two lenses, flash system twice, etc. It's annoying and is not good for the back. The AF is quite often too slow, way too often. As long as you can not directly control the shots of people and also indoors move, like in real life quite times, it is somehow not well advised with this device. Aside tilt the colors brachial from 1600 ISO. The Nikon D750 makes their work while only 24 megapixels and is far better for me to better complement to D800 and for those looking for an all-round camera, only the Body expensive, from the second good lens it is even cheaper.
