Everything I wanted. I only wish that you could tell during the purchase that a 64Gb sd card it's needed for better quality videos.

Wonderful surprise in a small package
I was trully impressed with low noise and exceptional low night capability of this camera. I compare this with my Nikon D800e and even Hasselblad H4D 50MS. The picture quality is on par with the big boys providing one use a quality lens. I bought the Voigtlander 50mm F1.1 and to try out on this and it picture quality in wide open is very close to my Nikon 50mm f1.4 (or I would say a little sharper). Comparing with the Hasselblad 100mm f2 is still a bit lag of overall corner sharpness but is close.

Product needs a little improvement
An excellent product for stills and video needs a much more sophisticated WiFi Remote Control with at least half-a-mile range radius than the supplied toy like Remote Controller with few feet range for this price.

Best all purpose a7
I use this camera mainly for street photography and especially at night. It has insane iso capabilities (as you've all heard I'm sure). I have mine set to auto iso usually with a max of 51200. Pics are still very useable at this range although you will see a little bit of noise... but we're talking about useable at 51200 here- that's pretty incredible. The beauty of having a vast iso range like this particularly for my uses, is that even when the... Show More

Great all purpose camera for stills.
I love photography in low light settings. I have tried several cameras with expensive fast lenses trying to get the shot in low light situations and struggled with missed shots because the lens is searching during auto focus or the subject is moving. I chose the Zeiss 24-70mm lens with a maximum aperture of 4, for my initial lens. Combined with this camera, I am able to capture a lot of shots in low lit areas and tight spaces. Since I mostly get ... Show More

Amazing Low Light Performance
I still can't get over how good this camera performs at high ISO settings. Coupled with the Zeiss 1.8/55mm, it produces stunning color and sharpness. The documentation is horrible sLog is accessed on Picture Profile 7, and I guess it will output 4K on the HDMI when I hook it up to a Shogun (coming soon!) but you wouldn't know it from the manual. But you don't by technology for the paper manual, so I still give it five stars.

Even Better Than Expected
After seeing a number of videos with test footage from the camera, I was very excited to try the camera out because of its image quality. I originally intended on renting the camera for a video shoot, but decided to take the leap and just buy the camera anyways. Couldn't be happier with the camera. It does nearly everything I'd like it to do. Big upgrade from my Canon rebel T3i. The EVF is beautiful, peaking is incredibly helpful... I'm very sati... Show More

amazing camera with awesome form factor
I use this alongside of my fs-700 as a B-cam in many professional environments. Everyone know that this cam has great low light but the image quality is brilliant. and can control the highlights like a beast. Note the battery life is not all that bad!! If you do have to shoot fast objects or more violent camera movements switch to apc mode and that takes care of rolling shutter.-----

Pretty darn amazing
The A7S is brilliant. Fairly light weight. The usability is OK. The viewfinder is quite good but I wish it was off set to the far left side like on the NEX 7. If you're doing low level shots, the giant view finder blocks the center top part of the screen. The flippy-uppy screen is decent. The battery life is average at best (which is why it comes with 2) Video wise - I can confidently shoot at 80,000 iso with just grain. The image quality and det... Show More

Great low light camera
I bought the product primarily for it's video capability.The Pros- Great ISO suppression, almost no noise even at 3200 ISO.- Great usability - custom hot keys and etc.The Cons- Can't compare with expensive cameras - few details are missing in features but what do you expect from a camera under $3K?- Menus that can be better with Firmware update.

Great camera so far!
This has been a great replacement for my Canon 5D Mark III. I was looking for a full frame camera that also does 4K (still waiting, so benefit of the doubt here) and is great in low light.I am still using Canon glass as I am heavily invested in their L series. The adapter I purchased makes auto focus a mess but I just turn on focus peaking and use the manual focus. Still great results!

Almost perfect.
The best, although far from easiest, video camera for low profile documentary work I have ever used. There are only three real problems with the camera: 1. The rolling shutter is really hard to deal with. You can try shooting APSC/crop sensor even with full frame lens to minimize, but if Sony can figure out how to put a global shutter in this camera it will be a killer. 2. The SLOG2 profile, which is irresistible, takes an eternity to color corre... Show More

Fantastic Camera - Specific Use!
I shot with Nikon for over 6 years so trading in one of my DSLRs for this setup was a very big step. My choice to swap was to be able to shoot urban photography much more discreetly and for that purpose, this was an excellent choice!The great things are a small physical form-factor. while still providing full-frame output. The low-light ISO performance is unbelievable. Some have called out the 12 MP as an issue but for me, I can honestly count on... Show More

What You Expect - Impressive Low Light
This camera is as the reviews suggest - impressive for video, and mediocre in photo. The low light is great. I have no trouble bumping it to ISO20,000+ for acceptable results. It's an impressive camera by no doubt. Photos aren't bad by any means, just not as extraordinary. I had some issues with the focus peaking, but is that something to rely on anyway? Also, watch out for rolling shutter - especially in silent photo mode.

Couldn't wait to show my friends!
I bought the a7S with the 55mm f1.8 10 days ago. They performed exactly as advertised. The camera's low light capabilities are remarkable. I've just tried up to ISO 12800 in my lowlight living room, and outdoors at sunset. The lack of noise at 8000 is amazing, and 12800 shots require a minimum of noise reduction in Lightroom The lens is tack sharp. My only negative is that the batteries don't last as long under similar conditions as my Canon 5D MII.

Incredible
I am not usually big on reviewing products, but this camera is just too amazing for me not to review. I bought it primarily for video work, and I could not be happier. I have been shooting with my 5Dmk3 for the past two years, and I can tell you that after my first gig shooting with the A7s there is no question that it will for now on be my A-cam on everything I do. The image is amazing, and the low light is literally awesome. Seriously. I litera... Show More

Sony A7s a video camera POWERHOUSE
The testes are very good. Everything you would expect from this camera. Our specific tests we're focused on lens fall-off and sensor reaction. The DR was also very surprising, great tonal rendition in the shadows. For this camera the biggest challenge is the infrastructure (for lack of more familiar terms THE RIG). It is important for professional camera crews to use this camera (or any camera) in a traditional fashion, the CINOFLEX, gave the SON... Show More

a7S and a7R Not for action photograpy
I professionally shoot high school, club, and collegiate sports. I own the Sony a99 and a7. I love the size, WiFi capability, and everything about the A7. However, on both of my above body's, the 24MP sensor is too noisy above ISO 3200. When I shoot sports, especially indoor sports, such as swimming and diving, I often want to use an ISO of 3200+ to achieve the highest possible shutter speed and lowest noise for a given aperture.When I read about...

Amazing camera
I purchased this camera to work on my Movi-M5 and support our Sony F3. I'm using Zeiss glass with a metabones Nikon mount converter and I can not believe the performance and image quality of this little camera. Slog-2 is fantastic. The menu is easy and the camera matches very well with my larger sony production cameras. I'm very VERY happy. I also own a GH4... I listed it for sale the day after I first played with the A7s. AMAZING in low light. Basically no light... Just amazing.

It sees in the dark
This is an amazing piece. I have a RED EPIC that is my A cam, but I needed a second camera that could 1. Do 4k 2. Shoot at least 1080 60p for Jib, RC, and gorilla Run and Gun. 3. Interchange EF glass 4. Durable. Sony has answered the call where canon and nikon haven't.
