Prime lens can be “very fats”?!?!?! XD
man, I love fat primes
Especially, US Prime Ribs.
It’s probably “primate”.
This is how you make money on cameras, build’em with fewer parts that requires less Manpower to put together, and less adjusting and calibration.
Sony is good at this.
What’s amazing is the simplicity and how few parts make up this very sophisticated device. This clearly demonstrates the state of current technology and manufacturing engineering. Impressive!
Amazing how Sony is ahaed of the game and is the only manufacturer who can put the shutter behind and pcb infront of the sensor.
Lol, what the hell were they thinking…
I think it’s irony I hear….
But yeah, I though the same thing. ;o)
I’ve alvays enjoyed this kind of displays at trade fairs. A remote control, shaver, hybrid SUV etc. every one of them contain such neat solutions inside. Propably cause I’m not an engineer, don’t know a thing about that headache stuffing those hidden parts in that container.
This is what I really would call a teardown:

A7 a popular “gadget” ?!
To Sony, E-mount cameras are “Gadgets” and A-mount are cameras.
Dont ask me why.
A gadget which can do pretty much of almost all of the cameras’ job and why we wouldn’t name it as a camera?
Thank goodness, they recognize at least some of their cameras as cameras! 🙂
(Tip for Sony: The Xperia is a gadget, the Q10/Q100 are gadgets, the PS/2/3, etc are….)
‘gadget |ˈgadʒɪt|
noun
a small mechanical device or tool, especially an ingenious or novel one.’
Yep doesn’t sound so bad…
The future of cameras. Very modular/simply construction that allow faster roll out of new tech as it becomes available. Ie A7 A7r A7s….No more 4/5 year cycles!! Which make me think that the FE mount in the long term is the future. Unless Sony adapt this philosophy to their A mount system…I hope they do.
Sony has been on a 3 year cycle for a-mount and shorter for e mount.
Fair enough…More a comment on the industry in general…
Void …
That’s not a teardown
That’s Naming the Parts
this was amazing product! however, I hope they can lower the price and sell more for the volume; that mean boost current volume, and cannibalize competitors market segment share.
How simple it is!
At 1:21 min: 1/8000 sec. Shuttrer unit.
It seems that the shutter got an extra R from the A7R.
This was done long ago by Roger at LensRentals:

But was there a video?
The shutter and the BIONZ X are in the wrong positions?
Yep. Someone just doesn’t know how cameras work. 🙂
That is to take care of the light leaks. 😉
What for ? Sony a7 and 7r problem Light Leak and Shutter Vibration . do not Buy is Fail
