Sony A7CR Mirrorless Camera Body Only (Black)

Can I give it 7 or 8 stars? I wish I could; it deserves it.This is my 8th or 9th Sony camera and it is by far the best. To fund it I sold my A7Rii and the original A7C and a mediocre Tamron lens with too much circular distortion.When the original A7C arrived I hoped it would be the introduction of a long line of small, light, full framers and that subsequent ones would be released with larger sensors. When it didn't happen after a couple of years I had almost given up hoping but, early this past summer, as rumors bubbled up about a 32mp A7CII, hope renewed and then in August TWO CAMERAS WERE ANNOUNCED--including the 60mp A7CR. I rejoiced--and immediately pre-ordered. It arrived October 12th as promised.I am an anti-shlepper and I hate to change lenses--always ... MoreCan I give it 7 or 8 stars?

I rejoiced--and immediately pre-ordered. It arrived October 12th as promised.I am an anti-shlepper and I hate to change lenses--always seeking the lightest, most compact, simplest to use, most effective, photo package to carry. I use zoom lenses exclusively and am often frustrated by their size and weight, and to cover my normal shooting range that meant carrying the Sony/Zeiss 16-35 and the Sony G 24-105--for a mere 44 ounces in addition to the 17 ounces of the A7C..., and if I needed higher resolution, carry the heavier A7Rii. UGH!!! Until now!!!Hoping that the 60mp of the A7CR would enable crop-zooming and seeking to approximate the range of the two zooms mentioned above..., with some skepticism I purchased the (well-reviewed-highly-touted) Sony G 20-70 f4 zoom and have been testing its effectiveness--WITH ROARING SUCCESS!!!The 20mm wide end of the range is quite sufficient for everything I need--tight urban settings, architectural interiors and landscapes (in fact the 16mm was a little too exaggerated so 20mm is actually better). The real test would be the long end of the range. Could cropping a 70mm image to the approximate equivalent of a 150mm focal length be achieved? The 20-70 is so sharp across the field that it accomplishes that with ease..., and more.At 100%, the full image is approximately 36 x 54 inches and, if touched with a bit of sharpening--just amazing. I have also boosted it 2x using Topaz Gigapixel AI and it holds subtle detail. Consequently, my next step is to sell both the 16-35 and 24-105 and the lens transaction will cost about $150 bucks. The earlier-mentioned 2 cameras and Tamron transaction for the A7CR cost a little more, about $1K.The total weight of the A7CR and the 20-70 is about 35 ounces--compared to the previous 62. I believe I am as close to heaven as I will ever be able to achieve. My backup is the 10.5 ounce Sony RX-100vi with a zoom equivalent of 24-200mm.My profound thanks to Sony for keeping the A7C alive!!! And my encouragement to all potential users.BTW, In the reviews of the Sony G 20-70mm f4, there are comments about circular distortions, barreling, etc. The A7CR has Lens Distortion Compensation (if you can find it in the mad-menu) which comes default set to Auto and it works almost perfectly. Maybe a little adjustment required at 20mm for interiors.

Always wanted a small full frame Sony Alpha and my wish came true.I recommend this camera.

The sony a7cr is a very compact camera , the screw on extra drip is a good idea , which helps you with a bigger lens , it's very handy to take out, because you're only need a small bag with your camera and an extra lens, the extra megapixels helps you to crop in if you need to, great camera thanks sony
