Notable Quotes:
- David Pogue Yahoo! - “Sony’s Tiny New Full Frame SLR is a Pocket Full of Awesome” – LINK Very positive review of the α7 and α7R cameras and applauds us for leading the charge in full frame and ushering in “a new era of beautiful photographs”.
- SLR Lounge, “Ditching the DSLR for Mirrorless” The title of the article captures it all as Joe Gunawan explains the benefits of full frame photography in half the size and weight. He also includes real world usage (engagement shot) that helps show why you don’t need to lug around your Canon gear anymore - Link
- Stuck in Customs, highly influential travel photography site ran by Trey Ratcliff claims that the α7R is his “main camera” and “an unbelievable mix of four key things that make this a game changer: 1) full frame sensor, 2) interchangeable lenses 3) small, 4) inexpensive.” - Link
- The Verge, very positive review for both the α7 and α7R and an applaud to Sony’s strategic direction - Link
- “The original goal for Micro Four Thirds cameras was to take the DSLR’s crown and provide a more portable interchangeable lens camera with the best image quality. In effect, Sony has taken up that mantle, taken the concept even further, and aimed right at the big players in the photography industry, much in the same way the iPhone went right after the incumbent smartphone makers of 2007. It might be a few years before we realize it, but when the DSLR is relegated to a niche status among specialty photographers and full-frame mirrorless cameras dominate the market, we’ll have the α7s to thank as the cameras that started it all.”
- USA Today, Talking Tech columnist, Jefferson Graham reviewed current compact cameras and refers to the α7 as “the camera that I really fell in love with” - Link
