    Such an improvement over the A7II! Menus have greatly improved although there is room for improvement.Fast camera and great auto focus. A lot to learn on this camera. To get the most use from it, purchase a 3rd party manual and work your way through. A lot of great stuff in this camera. Use it mainly for landscape photography.

    Simply amazing... It is an older model/generation... but not with super major differences to the newer ones. Price also dropped a good amount which I was able to use the difference for lenses... I am very happy with how beautiful the photos come out.

    Bought this camera after owning a Cannon DSL for 15 years. IT has been a bit of an adjustment to find the right settings for action shots, particularly of animals. After watching a couple of youtube videos and adjusting settings I have been able to capture some amazing pictures of wildlife with incredible depth and richness of color. However, I admit I am still learning, but thankfully it doesn't cost any more to take 20 shots than 1 shot as many I discard because they are not focused well. When I do capture the perfect shot, it's amazing!

    Pros: Very light camera body (compared to my 5DII) Many ways to customize for different shooting styles. Great image quality. I love that with an adapter, I can use lenses from many other camera systems. Cons: the menus are not difficult to navigate, but almost seem clunky compared to other camera systems. They don’t make sense. Apps. Sony sells apps that add features to your camera system that I believe you should already have. Maybe Canon and Nikon have just spoiled me!

    I own both the OG & Mark II A7. The Mark II improves on everything that made the first one a great camera. In Body Image Stabilization, improves ergonomics, ability to shoot uncompressed RAW via firmware update. I can’t complain, especially at its current price point...it’s a bargain.

    I purchased the a7 as a gift primary due to the discounted price following the release of the a7 mark II. I returned it immediately and purchased the a7 mark II. Love it so much I purchased a second for myself. Pair it with Zeiss glass and it really shines! Remarkable improvement over its predecessor.

    I have been a "Canon man" but this camera is impressive. The color is brilliant, the auto focus is spot on and the fast continuous shooting mode is great for sports and wildlife photography.

    I am a Sony fan. I also have an NEX 5. I miss the viewfinder so the A7 is an excellent upgrade. Exceptional in low light. I am an avid photographer since 1970. The 'Gold' auto makes great photos easy'. An impressive array of creative controls await s.
