It’s time for the next great A7s reviews and work roundup! And til now I didn’t find one single reviewer hating the A7s. Quite the opposite…all do love the cam!
Josh McLeod did a full model shooting with the A7s:
Lately I seem to be shooting more and more with the Sony cameras, and the more I shoot with them the more I like them (both the A7 and A7s). I love pretty much everything about them, and for my shooting style they are pretty close to the perfect tool.
EosHD posted the second part of the A7s review:
The Sony A7S is the first camera to really beat the Canon 5D Mark III across the board at almost every level for both stills and video, especially the latter. The A7R did not have the video quality to rival the Canon, but the A7S is a different proposition altogether and raises the bar to another level, possibly signalling the end of DSLR domination in this area at the same time. I can think of no reason to shoot on stock Canon 5D Mark III video settings when you can shoot XAVC-S on the A7S.
Imaging Resource posted the second part of their A7s shooter report:
I love the shoot-anywhere-in-any-lighting capabilities with the A7S’ insane high ISO sensitivity, and the smaller 12MP images are a breeze to work with on most any computer and save a ton of space on hard drives and memory cards. Plus, the solid build and cool design make it easy and comfortable to use, and the completely silent shooting mode makes the Sony A7S great for candid street, travel and event photography.
Slow motion and low light test at Westcoastvisualfx:
Overall, I feel this camera meets and exceeds my needs allowing me to shoot in greater variety of situations more efficiently and quickly. I love the menu system, and do not mind the record button being on the right. You have to be careful with the rolling shutter, which when shooting cinematically is not a problem. The low light is so fun to play with, and I am very impressed with the slow motion. There are so many benefits to this camera over the Mark III and even the 7d Mark II (Not even release yet). I was able to switch without a problem. Oh, and it takes a pretty great photo too.

Jeffrey sent me this: “I recently competed in Pittsburgh PA’s first ever 48 Hour Horror Film Project. It’s a film festival in which you are given certain elements to put into a film and you have 48 hours to write a script, shoot it, and edit a short movie, and my film, “RUNNER”, took the runner up prize in the festival. The reason I am telling you this is because the film was shot entirely on an a7s in a dimly lit basement and a dark park. Most of the shots in the basement were filmed with only one or two 60 watt lightbulbs to light the whole scene, and the images look great.
I would be flattered if you would be interested in sharing it on your site if you need some Halloween type content for the 31st. I’m very proud of the film, even with the few flaws it has — remember it was written, shot and edited in just two days. Also, if you do decide to use it, be sure to mention that it is a horror film, so it may not be safe for work, or for small children. Here it is: http://youtu.be/aTC9wd47ZQo”
Andy: “My team and I made a part time lapse/part urban exploration video of Miami shot with the Sony A7S, filmed entirely with just moonlight and street lights as light sources. The middle portion of the video was shot on Miami Beach under a full moon at 2 am (you can see the sequence of shots begin at the 1:06 mark of the video), and we were really stunned and satisfied with the results. Everything came out surreal, almost as if there were a green screen or dreamy backdrop against the ocean. Almost CGI like, but much more natural than CGI. I’ve included a link to view the video below. We’d really appreciate your feedback, and if you like the video, please feel free to post on your site! We’d truly be flattered! Thanks again for being such a great site! Link to video: https://vimeo.com/109654084”

More aurora videos…
As if that would be 80% of what the A7s are being used for.
Barring the flying hearts, it is OK.
I’m thinking to myself that camera resolutions is not going to advance as fast as we probably thinking earlier.
I mean look ar this camera. There are certainly some benefits with low resolution that you definitely won’t get with higher resolution vameras. They’re namely to save space and to achieve less noise.
Plus I think it is possible right now to print very large pictures with 36MP cameras like the A7R or the D810.
“print very large pictures with 36MP cameras like the A7R or the D810.”
How large is large?
I can tell you a little something about perception, print size and viewing distance.
It is (or maybe was, but I haven’t been notified) that 300dpi photographic printing is the best photo quality you can achieve in order for the eye not to discern individual dots at a viewing distance of 40-50cm or so.
I have an RX1, and with that theory, you should be able to print 20″ prints on the long side and you, theoretically, would be looking at a perfectly sharp image at that viewing distance.
In reality, though, you can print 64″ on the long side with an RX1 file of 6000×4000 pixels and have excellently sharp and detailed photographs. Why? You reduce the dpi to 95, which is roughly the same pixel density of a 24″ HD monitor that has 1920×1200 resolution. So, you look at your pixel peeping photo at 100% on a 24″ monitor and that pixel density shows you a lot of detail, already, at a viewing distance of 50-70cm, having in mind your technique is excellent and you can achieve pixel level sharpness (A LOT of lenses do not achieve this even at their optimum apertures)
64″ (162cm) on the long side for an RX1 file. When placed in a gallery, it looks smashing. Viewing distances at a gallery range from 1m to 2m or maybe a bit more if your print is large enough. Again, a lot of it is down to the technique for getting the best out of your camera and files so don’t imagine you can just shoot and bang…162cm perfect print.
It works. I know because I have printed that large and at ISO 100-800, the RX1 can deliver beautiful files.
Now imagine the A7r’s resolution of 7360px on the long side…
Maybe I can classify 3×2 metres as very large as that is the biggest size that you can probably fit into a 3 metre tall standard wall. A7R in my opinion is ‘enough’ for that size. And yes, even 6MPs like the D40 could even print 120×90 cm if you want to…
Admin. Can you please post some unfavourable Sony reviews as well as this fanboy propaganda. You shouldn’t have much difficulty in finding them on the interweb as there are plenty to choose from.
And why is it…retarded people compare camera capabilities that are 4 years apart!!
Any why is it…retarded people compare video capabilities of a particular camera to a still camera that happens to have some video features on it…
One more thing…I sold of my Sony system and and switched to Nikon about 6 months ago…but you don’t see me making a song and dance about it…unlike all this imbecile photographers that seem to want to broadcast why they switched brands!!
…and yet, here you are, getting all worked up on a Sony gear site, spewing garbage and looking like a fool. Be quiet, dummy.
I am trying to offload some of my Nikkors..to fund an A7s. 🙂
or you can help us find the latest unfavourable Sony’s camera reviews that is legit. (if you can find them)
Love, love, love my A7s!
Y’know, I’d love to see Sony build the new A7000 with a 12mp APSC sensor. Although it wont compete with the FF A7s in low light, it should at lease be the best in class for its sensor size.
How is 4K?
