I've had my A7 for a few weeks now and I love it! I currently own an RX-100, A77, A57 and NEX-5. The reason I purchased the A7 was that I was tired of lugging around my A77 when traveling. The A7 and RX-100 will be the cameras I take from now on, especially when going overseas. I love the fact that it's a full-frame camera. It's about the same size as my NEX-5. The A7 has many features...if you own Sony SLT's, you'll find the A7's menu similar. I'm very satisfied with the photos produced. I guess the only downside(s) with the camera are the limited lenses available, although if own Alpha lenses already, you can purchase an adapter (LA-EA4). Another issue would be the battery, which is the same used in NEX models. I'm only able to shoot approx. 300 shots compared to my SLT's where I can get about 400-500 shots. The reason I stick with Sony is that they are always technologically ahead of the other companies.

Popular photography recently gave this camera's big brother, the a7r, camera of the year for 2013. Additionally they rated these cameras as the best picture quality of any interchangeable lens camera they have ever tested. High praise for a camera that deserves the title. The camera is well designed and feels expertly crafted. The button lay out (all of which are fully customizable with 45 different internal features) feel thoughtfully placed and provide a professional tactile experience. I have effortlessly captured some of the best images of my career with this camera. Weather sealed and dust resistant, I can take it anywhere. Also, for video users, the camera has clean HDMI output and a multi interface hot shoe on top of the camera allows for data transfer. This means that I can have stereo XLR audio running into this camera (with adapter sold separately) while also making use of it's ability to capture 1080p video in 60fps. A rarity in the digital camera world. Auto focus on this camera is also a beast. It has both contrast based auto detection and phase detect auto focus, making it's AF incredibly fast. Not to mention that during video or burst shooting mode it will track objects, shifting focus automatically if the user wants, while the subject comes towards or away from the camera. This is also not typically seen in digital SLR's. During burst shots the camera will also auto focus on every single frame as the user moves the camera to track, for example, a football player. All of these facets come together behind an incredibly precise imaging sensor from Sony who has become, and now is, the #1 imaging sensor manufacturer in the world. The camera line deserves it's title, "Camera of the Year." A melding of technologies long sought after by professional photographers to exist in one device. Sony has nailed it.

I bought it for personal projects, very happy with it.

Bought open box and I think it takes sharp pictures but the kit lens is needing an upgrade to take it to the next level

Really happy with this camera. It was a great purchase.
