Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I found this model at my local store as return, but it had everything and was in perfect condition, and heavily discounted. This is the original a7S so the shutter button is in an awkward location (they moved it on the MII), but the ISO range is like nothing else out there. It does not shoot video in 4K to the internal memory card (it only has one SD slot), but again the lowlight capabilities are amazing. It's not the latest and greatest, but is still better than most cameras out there for twice the price. If you are reading this, try to get the a7SII at a discount when the a7SIII comes out.

An amazing step up.
An amazing step up.
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendI love this camera. I've shot on crop sensor for about 10 years and the majority of that has been with Canon DSLR's and Sony Nex ILC's. This is a huge step up from any of those! Don't be afraid of the 12 megapixels, that's really all you need and the video capability/quality is worlds above any traditional DSLR.
