Great build quality ; Impressive video capabilities ; Strong image quality

Restrictive native lens line-up ; AF not as good as A7

The Alpha 7R is either equivalent or superior to its cheaper brother spec-wise in pretty much every way except one: autofocus. The A7 uses a combination of two types of autofocus, called phase detection and contrast detection, to deliver lightning fast...

Small, light, full-frame camera Excellent image quality when shooting Raw Solid build quality FE lenses are of superb quality, equal to the sensor's high resolution Compatible with a huge range of legacy 35mm camera lenses with no field-of-view crop...

Autofocus can be slow in low light Auto ISO tends to keep shutter speed at 1/FL sec, often resulting in soft images High-res sensor requires dedicated approach to shooting JPEG quality not as good as we'd like to see (less relevant for this camera's...

Sony's a7 and a7R made quite a splash, marking the first time mass-market mirrorless cameras took on full-frame SLRs. As the smallest and lightest 36.3MP camera on the market, the Sony a7R joins a pretty exclusive club, one that heretofore had only the...

Pro-grade sensor ; Tilting LCD ; Rock solid build quality

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.

Full-frame image sensor omits OLPF. 4fps burst shooting. Amazing high ISO performance for a high-resolution camera. Sharp, tilting rear LCD. Focus peaking. Excellent OLED EVF. Great control layout. Compact, dust and moisture-resistant body. Vertical...

Expensive. Loud shutter. Focus and burst shooting are slower than Alpha 7. Some color-shift issues with third-party wide-angle rangefinder lenses. No PC sync socket. No built-in flash. External battery charger not included. Native lens library is in...

The EVF is an OLED panel with a 2,359k-dot resolution, similar to the one found in the NEX-7 and other APS-C Sony mirrorless cameras. It's one of the best you'll find in a digital camera, although we give slight preference to the LCD EVF in the Olympus...

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.
