Could not recomend more
Aside from just amazing video/photo quality the form function of the camera is amazing, incredibly small, light and durable. It feels like a tank in your hands. The slow motion is amazing and I can't speak highly enough about the low light. As well the focus peaking and viewfinder are the best things in the world when it comes to focus. The only downside is the battery life. It last about three hours

Petite, but Powerful!
I wish I could give this a 4.5 star rating, because nearly everything about this camera is great, with a couple of small setbacks. First of all, the good: 1. As you probably know, the low-light performance of this thing is outstanding! I would not hesitate to use the camera at ISO 10k, and even up through ISO 30k, the image is clean. It starts to get noisy around 52k, though it is still certainly useable. I've used the 5DMIII, C300, and FS700, an... Show More

Sony Alpha 7s is great!
Really happy with it. Yesterday I filmed a massage done in candlelight at f4 and there was only very slight grain. I really like the way the camera renders colors. It's also nice and sharp.

Love it! Great Video! Easy to Use.
I had a Blackmagic Cinema Camera but as I do a lot of run and gun I bought the a7S and am very happy about that. The autofocus, autoexporsure and overall autos make it very easy to shoot video run and gun. I love the ability to shoot anywhere with the low light capabilities. Overall I am very happy with this over my cinema camera. One thing I liked more on the CC is that it was obviously a video only camera. It had specific controls for that wher... Show More

Great camera
This is the camera I've waited more than 45 years for. It has no equal for low light use. Easily usable to ISO 64000 and decent even beyond. The silent shutter option is also a big plus. Why sony hasn't introduced this before seems to be more about their fear that you might sneak a shot without the whole world being able to hear the shutter than for any technical reason. The image quality is very good although I think the A7 is slightly better in... Show More

My F3 shrunk to an NEX7!!!
I have used this camera as a second camera to cut with my F5 and F3. and with the S-log profile, it really matches well.The mirrorless design E mount is one of the most versatile mounts out there, and opens up a lot of great lensing possibilities.I really like how Sony basically make an F3 into the Nex7 with this camera. Its a dream come true for my documentary projects, but on bigger jobs, the major limitation is the rolling shutter on this came... Show More

Best digital camera for my uses.
This camera is the best digital camera for my uses I have ever owned. I am a true multimedia artist... I shoot about 60% stills and 40% video and with both shoot in lower light a majority of the time. I had been using a Nikon D800 for both before and it was good at low light but this camera is better. Video there is no comparison the a7s makes the d800 look broken. I also think overall the noise with the A7s that is present is far better looking ... Show More

Best small form video camera
I am working on a caving documentary, and the A7s is the best small form stills video camera I have ever used. It actually exposes locations slightly brighter than my eyes can see. Its small and light weight for travel. It has customizable buttons avoiding menus while shooting, a robust video codec at 50 Mbps, Slog2 for dynamic range, audio in and out, zebras, peaking, and a view finder that works while shooting video. The camera gets 5 stars but... Show More

Why you should/shouldn't buy it.
First off let me start by saying that I love this camera for photo and video. Sony gives you 2 batteries, a USB cable, and external wall charger, and a cable support attachment. All very welcome additions. You can see some samples I shot on my youtube channel, www.youtube.com/MeanGrain Here's what you should consider if thinking about buying one: Resolution/Photo-I do not crop photos, so 12MP is great for me. If you plan to crop or print like 36 ... Show More

Great Camera Period
I love the Sony A7s. I own an M9 as well as an OMD-EM1. I only shoot still photography so if you are looking for a video review, please look elsewhere.The A7s has LOADS going for it over these two cameras. Here are a few of those things:1. Low light abilities - The Sony A7s has an amazing ability to focus in pitch blackness, even without the AF assist light. You will never be in a situation where the A7s cannot focus. How cool is that! I took pic... Show More

the A7s is Outstanding
I have compared this unit as a camera to my Leica m9 and the colour rendition plus dynamic range is excellent. Combine this with the ISO capability and this has quickly become my go to camera. The 55m and 35 mm Sony and leica lens work like a charm. Hopefully Sony will work towards building a sensor with the same ISO capabilities at 24 MP. Another note, the audio of the Video is very nice much better than any camera I have owned with an internal ... Show More

An impressive camera!
I ordered this camera because the GH4 has been on backorder for about a month and I must say, this camera is a beast! I use it almost exclusively for video. Nothing in a controlled environment, so the low light performance is useful to me. First off, this camera is not noise free at 80,000 ISO. It can be if there is enough light but under low light where 80,000 ISO would expose the image correctly, there will be a good amount of noise. This will ... Show More

Amazing filmmaking tool
As a filmmaker's camera, it's amazing. This is more of a review for anyone using the camera for it's video capabilities. Let me explain the things I like and don't like.First off, LCD screen is awesome, colors are very accurate and I like that it comes out a bit and tilts up and down. Sucks that it doesn't flip out to the side for those overkill quality selfies but that's ok. Buttons are very responsive and feel good, you can change settings real... Show More

THIS IS NOW MY A-CAM!
I received my Sony a7S from B&H photo this morning at 10am. As I was unboxing it I was surprised to find that it came with two batteries and a wall charger. Kudos to Sony. I own the FS100 and so I was expecting to use the a7S as a B-cam, but after testing it I may start using it as an A-Cam.Form factor:Size wise it's small and light even with the Canon 24-70mm f/4L and Metabones EF to E-mount adapter on it. Size was one of the main reasons I've b... Show More

Great highlight detail, dynamic range
++ Each of the three Sony a7 models is a purpose-built camera. The a7S has outstanding dynamic range that is preserved to a fairly high ISO, and permits, distinctly better than other cameras - detail preservation in specular highlights - shadow brightness lifted without too much noise - Sony's dynamic range enhancement, in the current software version, is very natural-looking and functional, truly allowing us to expose as we were taught. - (expos...

THE GAME CHANGER
My focus is video not stills...My Sony A7s arrived this morning. I've not put it down in 8 hours. I've been a Sony fan since the early 80's. I have used Sony broadcast products extensively and they never let me down. I remember when they moved into the very first digital ENG cameras, they were fantastic... of course old schoolers still whined about going digital but, whatever.I've been using the Canon 5dMkII, 60D, 7D since mid 2008. As of last we... Show More
