Sony Alpha a7CR 

Capture stunning detail with the Sony Alpha a7CR! 61MP full-frame, fast autofocus, & 4K video. Compact body. Order yours today!

A revolutionary blend of portability and performance, the Alpha a7CR Mirrorless Camera Body in classic black, comes bundled with a shoulder bag, 128GB SD card, card reader, extra battery, charger, camera strap, and tissue paper. This compact powerhouse boasts a class-leading Exmor R 61.0 MP full-frame sensor, similar to the acclaimed a7R V, ensuring every detail is captured with precision.The a7CR's back-illuminated sensor features noise reduction, gapless on-chip lenses, anti-reflection optical coating, and the elimination of the optical low-pass filter, all contributing to high resolution, high sensitivity, low noise, and a wide dynamic range. The BIONZ XR image processing engine minimizes processing latency while enhancing movie and still image processing power, delivering natural gradations, realistic color, and superior image quality.The advanced AI processing unit ensures accurate white balance and color reproduction under almost any lighting conditions, making skin tones, foliage, and other materials appear natural. The camera's high-precision image stabilization unit, advanced gyro sensors, and optimized image stabilization algorithms effectively detect and correct shake, providing a significant advantage for handheld shooting.The a7CR's Pixel Shift Multi Shooting uses the precision in-body image stabilization system to capture multiple pixel-shifted images that are later composited on a PC to achieve overwhelming resolution in a single image. Anti-flicker shooting is also a feature, automatically detecting flicker from artificial light and finely controlling the timing and speed of the mechanical or electronic shutter to minimize its effects.The a7CR is compatible with Sony's lineup of optically advanced E-mount lenses, including the G Master series and G Lens series, which blend breathtaking resolution with exquisite bokeh. The AI processing unit supports recognition of human subjects using learned human form and pose data, and also recognition of non-human subjects such as animals, insects, and vehicles. This improves the performance of Real-time Recognition AF and Real-time Tracking, making Fast Hybrid AF subject acquisition and tracking more precise and reliable over a wider area.The a7CR offers full-frame 4K 60/50p recording, 6.2k oversampled video, and Sony's S-Cinetone picture profile for more faithful color reproduction and skin tones. Active Mode provides precision stabilization for movie shooting with advanced gyro sensors and an optimized algorithm. The camera also supports easy, stable transfers to smartphones via the Creators' App mobile application. In summary, the Alpha a7CR Mirrorless Camera Body is a compact, lightweight, and powerful tool for photographers and videographers seeking superior image quality, advanced features, and the convenience of a bundled package.

In general I use Nikon cameras and high end lenses. High end lenses because I like the clear and bright color of high end lenses and Nikon because they are the only ones that make a high end, f4, 24-120 lens which is great for travel. But I needed a small camera that would fit in a pouch for ski touring so I didn't have to take off my pack to get the camera out. The old sony Rx1 focus problem was coming up to often so I decided to look around. the Sony A7CR with the 40mm lense and a zeis 135 fit perfectly in the pouch i used for the Rx1 and Nikon made no comparable camera and lenses of this size, weight, and quality. The combination is great. Lightweight. Small. Good weatherproofing. Good color. Good grip. Good enough battery life. Fast enough motor drive for pictures of people skiing. Fast focusing in bright light. Dim light there is a lot of hunting but that is to be expected from mirrorless. 60mp is great for cropping although that pushes up the shutter speed needed. I use 1/10xfocal length. 1/5xfocal length is still blurry. I do wish the focus peeking that shows up when you turn the focus ring when the camera is in autofocus mode would stay on until you press the shutter release button (like the Nikon) rather than just turning on for the duration of turning the focus ring and then immediately turning off. It makes it hard to check the depth of field since you must constantly turn the focus ring or flip the switch to full manual. Still, very satisfying camera to use and all the buttons, controls, and customization I expect from a prosumer camera.

Great little lightweight camera.

I bought the A7CR because I took my old A6000 to an air show and was disappointed with the results. I also wanted a camera with a larger sensor for astrophotography. I have been very happy with the A7CR, a small camera on the fringe of full-frame technology.

Beautiful pictures in a small package.

bought about 50 days ago, and couple with my ac7II, and my a6700, am enjoying sony cameras and their technology.

ac7r

Small size (about like the A6700), 60mp and Sony's latest focus options--what more could you ask for? Great resolution in FF or crop mode. The ability to take 26mp APS-C shots means you can use it like an A6700 with a crop mode zoom that fits in a waistpack or even coat pocket, with roome to carry one of the new compact primes (the FE 40 is my favorite), and you can also have stunning full frame quality. The ultimate travel body.

The ultimate travel camera.

First of all, the package Adorama assembled (Sony A7CR, extra battery, charger, 128GB UHS II 60v card and camera bag) is the deal of the century.

Now for the pros:

This camera totally rocks. 61mb Sony BSI sensor. A small form factor. I got the Sigma 50mm f1.2 lens and the images are jaw dropping. (Save $600 from Sony's 50mm f1.2) 
While reviewers have crapped all over the articulating LCD and EVD I found them to be just fine. The resolution on the articulating screen is just fine. And at .70x the EVF is hardly the horror reviewers would have you believe.

Now for a back story: Originally I was going to get the Hasselblad 907X with one of their awesome f2.5 XCD lenses (I was leaning toward the 38mm which is like a 30mm equiv. in full frame). The 907X form factor with it's upward flipping rear LCD that harkened to the classic Hasselblad 500CM's 6x6 frame turned me on to the square format and the Hasselblad "experience" (peering down into a finder).

Then I read about the A7CR (and the A7C II) and its "flippy" screen. 

I thought with the amazing grip (that is enhanced with an included piece that extends the grip allowing your pinky to add additional grasp to the body) AND shooting in the square 1:1 format I could hold the camera VERTICALLY and achieve a somewhat similar experience (i.e. looking down at an LCD for shot composition. If you're shooting 1:1 it doesn't matter whether the camera is held horizontally or vertically and you'll have a somewhat lightweight 61mp beast with an AF system 907X (with either the 50 mp CFV 50C, 100mp CFV 100X as well as X1D, X2D users can only DREAM about).

(Of course if you crave the brilliant Swedish industrial design admittedly the A7CR (and the A7C II) doesn't hold a candle. But essentially for thousands of dollars less than what the Swedes have wrought you can mimic the 907X experience with far superior AF and nearly equally good images (sans the Hasselblad "color science" I suppose but Sony's ain't too shabby either) for THOUSANDS of dollars less.

The AF is the best in the business. 

If you prefer shooting 61mp in the 3:2 format buy Sony's dirt cheap but very sharp (at f4-f5.6) 28mm f2 lens and you've got a poor man's Leica Q3.

A poor man's Hasselblad and poor man's Leica Q3 in one body? How cool is that.

The iPhone-like touch screen and touch controls are VERY good. 

Cons?

The menu which I hear is a vast improvement from Sony's historically awful menus is actually not all that bad. But it IS overwhelming. While you can certainly plow through it on your own, the pdf "guide" you can download from the Sony Website which reads like War & Peace WILL help you master it. Just be prepared to study it like you would for a Bar Exam.

The customizable buttons and personalized setups are daunting. 

The glowing reviews of the menus and minimalist layouts of the Hasselblads and Leicas DO cause one to wish if Sony could develop camera software that would have a repository of all the functions each camera would always have that would allow you to create a menu you could tailor perfectly to your tastes with just the functions you want but with others available to add should you change your mind.

While I've been a huge fan of the fully articulating rear LCD that I first experienced with the Lumix G1 I'm not as fussy about it as some reviewers have been who've complained about the screen having to be swung out to the left side at times.

My only problem is this: I like the fact that you can always turn the screen of the rear LCD inward toward the camera body to protect the screen (the rear housing is facing toward you on the back). But when you do that there is a lag time with the EVF when you're ready to shoot (or film) when you bring the EVF to your eye. To make the viewing in the EVF instantaneous the LCD must face outward. (If there's a way for the EVF to remain active when the rear LCD is turned inward I haven't found it yet. It might be something simple like a setting in the dizzying menu system that keeps the EVF on no matter what...in other words by deactivating the sensor that turns the LCD off when you move toward the EVF and vice versa. (By the way the sensor is EXTREMELY sensitive. I was fiddling with the menus and each time my hand came even remotely close to the sensor by the EVF the LCD screen turned black!)

So aside from these issues which pale in comparison to what I totally love about this camera, the Sony A7CR is masterpiece.

A poor man's Hasselblad or Leica Q3 (depending on the lens you get--read on)

I had heard that Sony had super fast auto-focus and after using my new A7CR for a few weeks I am super pleased with the results. I gave up my Leica Q2 for this camera and could not be happier with my decision.

Super Fast and Tack Sharp Auto-Focus

I've owned 3 Nex-7, an a6500, a7iii, a7Riii, a7iv, a7Riv. Currently I shoot with an a7Rv, the a7CR, and a Fuji x100vi. Since receiving the a7CR I've had no need to use the a7Rv which feels clumsy and cumbersome when I now pick it up. I'm also questioning my need for the slick Fuji x100vi. The a7CR, for my purposes, can replace both the a7Rv and the Fuji x100vi. 

Some reviewers have written that small cameras don't balance well with long lenses. Not true when I use my left hand near the end of the lens barrel. When the lens is heavier I have even more need to pair it with a lighter body. The a7CR has a deep grip which enables me to walk around comfortably holding it with my right hand through a wrist strap even when using the f4 70-200 Macro G with the TC1.4 installed.

Before purchase I was concerned that the fewer custom buttons on the a7CR vs. the a7Rv would be a nuisance, however I have been able to get the parameters I need onto custom buttons and into the Fn button fields.

Many have criticized the simpler tilt/pivot mechanism of the a7CR vs. that of the a7Rv, however I find it preferable for it easier, faster deployment.

I do miss the larger higher resolution EVF, yet I can live with this in order to get a smaller and lighter camera.

The location of the card slot precludes use of an L-bracket. There are times I want an L-bracket, but I can work without one.

Mostly I'm using the a7CR with a 24-70 GM ii, but I also like how it handles with the 70-200 f4 Macro G, even with the TC14 added. It's a perfect match for my Zeiss Batis 40 and the 16-35 f4 PZ G, f2.8 90 Macro G, and my Tamron 28-200. When using my MF Zeiss, Voigtlander and Laowa lenses I think the larger EVF of the a7Rv is advantageous. I'd accept a small bulge in the a7CR top plate to accommodate a larger EVF.

Wish Sony cameras would automatically transfer from the LCD to the EVF when the screen is taken from open to folded in. I have the same issue with the a7Rv. This slows me down when switching from the LCD to the EVF, aften needed to turn the camera off, then back on.

My current camera of choice

Perhaps the single greatest camera ever made for street photography in NYC. A beast!

Sony a7CR - a street photographer's dream.

Like the compactness. Great image and lens selection!

Nice Compact full frame

Cr is ranked as the top-performance camera with a slick design. The price is reasonable, and it has a sharp image and great AI features; there is nothing not to like about it. I am a proud owner of A7 mark 1; I am so happy that Sony has come so far with their product.

General Rating

Just purchased and getting feel for camera operations. So much tech and talent waiting to be corralled. I' m an experienced enthusiast, haven't updated gear in over a dozen years, so considerable tech to organize in my thoughts. Huge bow to Sony Support, who have spent considerable time answering questions and providing references. Looking forward to getting out to shoot. The 7cr should prove perfect for my style of street ?

Super features, super support

Absolutley great camera especially for travel. Amazing autofocus. Great image quality. But...while I have extensive experience with other high end (Canon) cameras, this is my first Sony and I find the number of options and redundancy of which dials control which function extremely confusing. Trying to customize which dials control the various functions is a daunting if not overwhelming task. The Sony Help Guide for this camera is voluminous, poorly written, confusing, and worthless.

Great camera but confusing controls

A nicely expanded feature set and 60MP to boot! What's not to like?

Solid Upgrade from a7C

I bought this camera a couple of weeks ago as I fell in love with how light it is in comparison to the other R versions. I am not a professional photographer and I am still learning it, but I love the quality of the pictures.. and oddly enough, due to AI one of the lensss focuses much faster than on my a6000. Really happy with my purchase.

Fantastically light!

Great solution for high IQ and small and light camera kit!

Great option for small, light and powerful!

A great step up from the original A7C. A true enthusiast camera.

Marvelous!

I have an A7R4 that I love but it's not a camera to toss in your pocket when traveling. This one brings the professional results you expect from the big one to a camera that can go almost anywhere.

Good WALKING AROUND travel camera

So far I'm happy with my purchase, but still in the learning phase with this camera. Trying it with all my Sony lenses.
