Don’t let the size or the price fool you. This is a serious camera. Photos are sharp and dynamic range is awesome. The only thing I keep my Canon around for is wildlife and action photography. The only negative is Sony lens are expensive but I use an adapter for my Canon lenses.

Went into buy an a6000 walked out with an a7. The price was almost the same. The a7 give me a lot more features and a full frame camera for just over $1000. Not too mention the camera rep was really knowledgeable and help me to make the best decision

I'll start by stating, I am not a fan of kit lenses and the lens on this kit did not change my opinion or like for variable aperature lenses at different focal points.
The camera needs to improve upon its resolution and autofocus speed. It would be nice to have a dual card slot, 4K video and better battery life.

The A7 is outstanding. I really enjoy this camera and the live view makes this camera what it is. Only thing is there isn't much lens options and the ones there are, are $$$$$.

I've wanted to upgrade to a full-frame sony alpha camera and found this one at a discount because it was an on floor model. Unfortunately, once I took it home it started acting up. It would not focus at all and I ended up returning it.

There is no better camera at this price point. The lens isn't bad for being a kit lens. I switched from a canon dslr. It took me one shoot to get used to the Sony.

The Camera itself is amazing and does a great job. The PLAY MEMORIES app is BROKEN. The app freezes pretty frequently on my 2017 15' Mac Book pro with full specs. The worst part is that it freezes completing small tasks. The app would NOT import my media. I had to use FCX and drag and drop to get my media off the camera. The quality of the camera is phenomenal but the app functionality is unbearable. It's almost enough to pay the restocking fee and look at another camera.

I've been shooting Canon 7d mkii which is a great camera, but the dynamic range on the Sony blows it away.
