If you need high resolution, the Alpha 7CR offers it at a moderate price. It also has fast AF and some exciting technologies such as focus bracketing and good video capabilities. The better-equipped Alpha 7R V has the same sensor, but costs more and is larger. If the high resolution is not so relevant, then the sister model Alpha 7C Il, which is identical except for the sensor and a few details, is...
Sony has shaken up the professional segment of the system camera market with the Alpha 9 III. The model is the first full-frame system camera to feature a global shutter sensor. This means that with this model, the image sensor is read out completely in one step instead of the pixels being read out line by line one after the other...
With a price range from 890 to 8000 euros, there should be something to suit almost every budget. High-resolution medium and full-frame cameras offer top performance in terms of image quality. Robust, fast and excellently equipped cameras can also be found in the APS-C and MFT range...
Our test results clearly show the advantages and disadvantages of the new technology: for the first time, extremely fast image series and videos are possible without any rolling shutter effect or problems with flickering artificial light and there are also new possibilities with flash. However, this is offset by higher image noise and a lower dynamic range...
- Outstanding image quality and detail reproduction up to ISO 3,200
- Very good image quality up to ISO 6,400
- ISO 12,800 can be used with some restrictions
- Compact yet very high-quality and robust magnesium housing
- The camera is protected against dust and moisture
- The camera fits very well in the hand with the additional grip
- The large image sensor gives the Sony A7CR a head start in terms of image quality. The compact format of the new model shows that full-frame systems can be as small as APS-C or MFT models
- Unfortunately, the viewfinder and LCD display are too low-resolution for the price range of the new Sony camera. The rest of the workmanship of the body and controls also looks a little cheaper than that of the larger Alphas
The concept of the system camera, which combines full-frame technology with a compact camera body, appeals to photographers who want high image performance with small dimensions for their photographic equipment. The image quality is excellent, and this applies equally to photos and videos...
