A little monster
The best-selling full frame hybrid of 2018 is still in the race 2 years after its release and this despite the arrival of serious competitors on the market. Accurate and fast autofocus, sick burst, excellent ISO, new battery for a very good autonomy, 4K and 120fps in 1080p... Sony had totally revised its copy of the "basic" A7 to make it a little monster of technology and offered at a price defying all competition. It is still one of the best value for money in terms of what this camera offers.
There are still a few points that Sony will have to work on like the general ergonomics (not bad but perfectible) or the connector traps that are still too fragile (while the rest of the camera is very robust).
The + :
- Autofocus.
- 10fps burst (provide an SD UHS II at 300mb/s for more comfort).
- Excellent rise in ISO (a "mini" A7S).
- Highly customisable camera.
- 4k video, slow motion 100fps (120fps in NTSC)
- Autonomy.
The -
- Ergonomics perfectible.
- Menus still too messy.
- Still no battery charger...
- Still the same system of fragile connectors.
