Sony Alpha 7R 36.4 MegaPixel

<p>Hi all,<br>

I wonder if any of you have any experience with this camera, and can provide a "review" of it's performance (the good and the bad in your opinion).</p>

<p>Thank you in advance for any info.</p>

<p>There are plenty of reviews online. I tried to link some, but Photo.net wouldn't let me. Go to Michael Hohner's excellent site <<a href="http://www.mhohner.de/sony-minolta/bodies.php#digitaluc">http://www.mhohner.de/sony-minolta/bodies.php#digitaluc</a>>, scroll to the extreme right, and there are several reviews linked there. This camera does have a high pixel count, but it is not a medium format camera.</p>

<p>I have one and can attest to it being a great camera. In addition to using it as a digital leica body there are great adaptors out there that let you stitch multiple shots from one medium format lens. See here: (http://www.amazon.com/Vizelex-RhinoCam-Adapter-Stitching-Panoramic/dp/B00AUKDTBC)<br>

There are even tilt shift adaptors.</p>

<p>I would read this thread first: http://diglloyd.com/blog/2014/20140116_1-Sony-A7R-shutter-vibration.html<br>

<br />Appears with nonnative lenses there might be some problems. No point in all those megapixels if the system itself cannot control vibration (the same reason I never even considered a pentax 67). Obviously, rushed into production with little testing. </p>

It still isn't a medium format camera.

<p>on the Pentax its the mirror slap, the sony doesnt have a mirror, so how should it be the same reason?<br>

I am an old fotografer, shooting all from APS-C to ULF 30x40cm but have never heard about<br>

shutter vibration, even the big Sinar behind the lense shutter doesnt have issues.</p>

[danielheller]

<p>It still isn't a medium format camera. I agree.<br>

I bought it anyway. It won't replace my Hassie. It will be in addition to.<br>

After testing, I will let you know about the "vibration"!!!</p>

<p>Why is this on this forum? Im I O.K. to post RZ ads on a Sony forum or have I missed the point somewhere?</p>

[q.g._de_bakker]

Dani,<br>I think the 'hint' you got from Gareth was clear enough, though you didn't take the also not unclear hints given earlier.<br>But if stil not clear: you have to go and discuss your Sony somewhere else. The Sony <i>is not</i> a medium format camera. This <i>is</i> the <b>Medium Format Forum</b>.<br>See? ;-)<br><br>So do let us know about the vibration, but in the appropriate forum.

<p>I am so sorry, apologies for posing here.<br>

I will test and let all interested know.</p>

<p>Thanks Dani- no problem.</p>
