A mirrorless system camera of less than 500 grams, with a 36 megapixel full-frame sensor, almost as compact as the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and with a suggested retail price just above the 2,000 euros? It seems like a dream, but it's the Sony A7R. The...

Qualms with its speed and focus abilities aside, the A7R is a fantastic camera worthy of all the praise it has been receiving. Though it has a significant Achilles heel in the form of action shooting, the extensive feature set, massive resolution, and...

When the Sony A3000 DSLR was introduced late last year, it was the first Alpha model to feature the smaller E-mount that up until then had only been seen on its NEX compact system cameras (CSCs). At the time we wondered whether this meant the end of the...

In terms of its raw feature set, there's no arguing that the Alpha 7R pretty much outstrips every single other CSC on the market. The 36.4MP full frame sensor is more in keeping with a high-end DSLR than a CSC and it delivers resolution performance...
