This was one - the original Sony a7, a full-frame camera packing the power of a DSLR into the body of a CSC.

It all began back in 2013 with a pair of true game-changers. Sensor: 24.3MP full-frame Exmor CMOS sensor.The body of the camera also got a redesign, with a more pronounced grip to evoke DSLR-style handling without compromising on the small and light build that makes the mirrorless range so attractive. It was the first of Sony’s full-frame mirrorless range to feature in-body image stabilisation, the 5-axis SteadyShot system that allows for significantly slower shutter speeds to be used handheld. Though the a7 II used the same sensor as its predecessor the a7, it brought a number of ergonomic and internal improvements to the table. Max video resolution: 4K 30p (HDR video available).Sensor: 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor with back-illuminated design.
#SONY ALPHA SERIES#
The a7 series may be the most straightforward of Sony’s full-frame mirrorless range, but as the a7 III demonstrates, there’s nothing basic about it. Elsewhere you’ve got sophisticated 5-axis optical image stabilisation, an autofocus system with 693 points, and sophisticated monitoring options thanks to the 2.3-million-dot EVF and tilting touch LCD screen. This means up to 10fps shooting with autofocus, and a generous buffer of 189 JPEGs, 82 compressed Raws or 40 uncompressed Raws in a single burst. The sensor’s upgraded architecture also improves its readout speed, making for all-around faster performance assisted by Sony’s Bionz X processor.
#SONY ALPHA ISO#
New to this sensor, however, is a backside-illuminated architecture that improves its ability to handle noise, making for better low-light performance and a higher extendable maximum ISO of 204,800. It’s the third iteration in the a7 series that started it all, boasting a 24.2MP sensor just like the two that came before it. This is the most recent camera to join the Sony alpha family.
