Abstract: The Sony E-mount system has matured over the past few years and Sony has chosen to retire the NEX branding and consolidate all of its interchangeable lens cameras under the Alpha brand name with a designation only of whether they are A-mount or E-mount...
Abstract: Sony A7R Example shot from one exposure – ‘Ferocious Stump' By Gavin HardcastleI started writing this Sony A7R Review with the sentence ”I hate the Sony A7R”, such was my vitriol over this infuriating yet impressive piece of tech. And that's what the A7R ...

Fantastic image quality; Highend resolution; Solid video specification; Robust build
AF performance not as strong as Alpha 7; Currently a limited native lens lineup

The news you've been waiting for has arrived! The age of the fully-featured, full-frame mirrorless camera is finally here -- and boy, what a duo of cameras kickstart the revolution. The Sony A7R promises absolutely amazing image quality in a compact body...
