Best Full Frame camera.
||Posted .Best Full Frame camera I have used. With adapters for various lenses, most of your old 35mm lenses from various brands can be used. I keep being amazed by the resolution. Hardest part for me was relearning some of the buttons from my old nikon. But there a lot of programmable buttons.

Not for the Weak at Heart!!!
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This is my third generation Sony Mirrorless camera, the second Full Frame and I couldn't be happier. Sony has the edge in Mirrorless technology and it just gets better and better. The camera and corresponding lenses have elevated my game and given me more opportunity to "challenge" my photography with new subject matter. With the extremely quick AF and amazingly huge 61MP RAW files, you have the opportunity to crop heavily in the frame or in post edit and not lose any quality because of the size of the data files. The menu's are extremely detailed because Sony actually listens to it's user feedback. I highly recommend searching some of the photographers with similar subjects that you may wish to shoot who post "setup" for the A7Riv as there is much detail in the setup that you might be missing. I've had this body for a month after trial testing this against the A9ii and after creating a comprehensive spreadsheet of both bodies opted for this one as the best value for my needs. I will begin collecting donations for the A9ii as they each have their own special feature sets and you should spec them both prior to your investment. The resolution on videos is superb, the lightning fast AF amazing, the shutter speeds can fill a memory card if you're not careful, so suggest you use the Sony "Tough" cards, they're worth the investment. I'm am pleased with the direction Sony is going with this technology.

Super great camera
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.There isn’t anything u really cant say wrong about this camera. I love everything about it. Everything u hear about it in a good way is exactly what it is. If u here anything wrong it’s probably from a person who is used to what they’re used to and haven’t given it a real chance. The great thing about this camera is the megapixels and so much more but that is also the only downside. The files are soooo big. Luckily i have alot of memory space and if you dont then you’ll need it. You can make the files smaller but at the cost of losing some image quality, and there may be a time to do it if its not a professional job but the average person wouldn’t notice a thing. Great camera all the way around the board

Q: QuestionWhy does the camera not have GPS? It sounds like a great camera, and for me, I really would like to have GPS.
Asked by Ringelsocke.
- A:Answer I wasn't involved in the development of this camera to be able to tell you why it doesn't have GPS. But if you would like to have GPS, you simply connect the camera to your phone via bluetooth and get instant geotagging on every photo you take. You do need to download the free app for the camera to your phone for this to work.
