There’s no 4K video, but the A7 was launched at a time when video in cameras was in its infancy and 4K had yet to appear in the mass market.

But the behavior becomes rather convoluted once you try to factor in the amount of light the camera is 'seeing', the selected aperture, and the setting you have 'Live View Display' set to (Settings Effect On/Off). For Sony cameras, that is. I am still amazed by the image quality of the BIONZ X processor, its DR and low light capability. It is hard to compare with other cameras. For example, as indicated by the ‘S’ in its name, the A7S II’s core sensitivity range is expandable from a maximum (and still very impressive) ISO 102,400 to a ridiculously high ISO 409,600 equivalent setting, suggesting that this is the one for handheld low-light work What do you mean by 'Base ISO'? (Btw: we define it as the ISO that uses the minimum amount of hardware level amplification. In other words, the ISO that has the highest conversion gain, expressed as electrons per digital number).

I agree with the conclusion that pixel size may not matter as much as the engineering of pixel for that size of sensor.

I'm having a hard time recalling other mirrorless cameras' behaviors at the moment, but we'll keep an eye out. Most DSLRs do what you're asking for though.Sony also has another ‘affordable’ full-frame camera, the A7C, which is a bit more compact. However, its current street price is around the same as the A7 III’s and although it brings a vari-angle screen, in other respects it’s not quite so well specified. Unless you really want a vari-angle screen, we’d recommend going for the A7 III, but if you can afford it, the Sony A7 IV has the best of both worlds. So.....you shoot nearly every type of photography? ;) Also, I don't know what your definition of "street photography" is, but have you managed to get the street photography results you're after using your Canon p&s? Just curious. Sony calls this the "basic full-frame model," but there's nothing basic about it". The Verge. 26 February 2018.

From the first camera obscura to 35mm film to the modern cameraphone, the tools photographers use have come a long way. How we understand and use imaging technology keeps advancing, and manufacturers are working hard to ensure they continue to create tools that meet the evolving needs of photographers. New cameras are released constantly, but most offer minor improvements and fail to leave a mark on history. In fact, we're confused about where the stated 'ISO 3200' even comes from- we measured ISO 640 levels of hardware amplification (by comparing clipping levels in Raw files for ISO 3200 SLog2 shots vs all other ISOs, finding that clipping occurred for the same tones in the scene at ISO 640 vs. a SLog2 ISO 3200 file). Of course, time and photo tech marches on, and it felt like no time at all before the a7 earned itself an upgrade in the form of the Sony Alpha 7 II. The sequel kept a lot of the components of its predecessor – if it ain’t broke, as they say – but with the principal addition of 5-axis image stabilisation. Designed to reduce image blur by compensating for camera-shake, this system will be familiar to anyone who has used the Olympus OM-D E-M1 or E-M5. By compensating not only for pitch and yaw movements but also vertical, horizontal and rotational movements, the system ensures better stabilisation than any in-lens system could hope to achieve. I've had my A7s since July and love it. For me, the higher ISO is critical to get keepers as I'm often shooting in lower light and fast shutter speeds. If you can of course it's better to get the optimal camera body for each application. But in my case, I want something that I know will deliver consistently in a very broad range of light situations. Also the auto white balance is pretty good so I don't have to go RAW unless I'm doing something really critical. The negatives of the A7s are low priorities to me so I readily trade them out including lower resolution and slightly lower dynamic range at ISO 100.I'd like some advice if possible in choosing a make/model based on the types of photography I enjoy, and what you think would serve me best for such subject matter: nature, landscape/cityscape, portraits, street/candid, macro, winter, B&W, flora/fauna, architecture/perspective. Rishi, you know as well as the rest of us that it's not "free". If you're not the customer, you're the product - as is the case here: The 4K 30p video is oversampled from 7K using the full-frame, but 4K 60p is oversampled from 4.8K in Super 35 (APS-C) mode so there’s a 1.5x crop. Sony continues to produce the first generation models α7 and α7S, even three years after the launch, only the α7 has been discontinued in April 2019. [ citation needed] you’re shooting landscapes. The high-resolution sensors on both cameras will allow you to capture a staggering amount of detail
